Genie GIR1D-P External Receiver Remote Kit 41486R

The Genie GIR1D-P External Receiver Remote Kit (part number 41486R) is an add-on radio receiver and transmitter set designed to restore or upgrade wireless control on garage door openers and gate operators that lack compatible radio controls. By wiring the external receiver to an operator’s wall-control inputs, the kit enables secure, modern remote operation using Genie’s Intellicode rolling-code technology—ideal as a replacement for obsolete remotes, as a universal upgrade on many legacy openers, or to improve reliability in areas with RF interference. The compact receiver mounts near the operator, learns the included handheld remote in seconds, and provides a dry-contact output that mimics a standard push-button.

This external receiver kit is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications where a universal conversion is needed to standardize on Genie Intellicode remotes or to add a second radio system to an existing opener. Installation typically involves mounting the receiver in a dry location, connecting two low-voltage wires to the opener’s wall-button terminals, applying power per the manual, and pressing the receiver’s learn button to program the included remote. Follow all safety instructions from the operator and receiver manuals, disconnect power before wiring, and verify that door travel limits and force settings meet UL 325 requirements. For gates or outdoor use, protect the receiver in a suitable weatherproof enclosure and maintain antenna placement for best range. Compatibility, power requirements, and programming procedures should be confirmed against the official Genie documentation for GIR1D-P/41486R and the specifications of the opener or gate controller it will control.
