Typical System Standby Battery Current Consumption (mA)
System voltage 24V
Main board with no radios programmed 2.7 mA
One or more LiftMaster
®
remote controls programmed +1 mA
myQ
®
device or wireless dual gate programmed +2.4 mA
Expansion board +11.1 mA
Per loop detector LOOPDETLM (up to 3 loop detectors can be plugged in to the expansion board) +3.8 mA
Add up current draw by feature and accessory to determine total current draw
NOTE: The use of photoelectric sensor heaters (models LMRRUL and LMTBUL) is NOT recommended in solar applications.
