The ratgdo encoder is a precision sensor that tracks your garage door's physical state. It enables your ratgdo control board to detect the door's exact position and direction of travel in real time—whether it's fully open, closed, or anywhere in between.

Benefits by Opener Type:
Dry Contact: Dramatically simplifies installation. The magnetic sensor base and rotor mount directly to the opener's drive gear without any tools, providing accurate position tracking.
Security+ 1.0: Easily convert your opener to dry contact control and eliminate complications with incompatible wall control panels.
Security+ 2.0: Add an extra layer of security by installing the sensor at the end of the overhead door spring. If the emergency release handle is pulled and the door is opened manually, ratgdo will still detect the movement, even when the opener itself cannot. (Note: Requires a low-voltage wire extension, not included, to connect to the ratgdo aux harness.)
What's Included:
Magnetic sensor base: For mounting the sensor to the top of your overhead garage door opener.
Magnetic rotor: Mounts to the door opener drive gear or overhead spring shaft.
Wire harness & connectors: For connecting the sensor to your ratgdo control board's auxiliary 6 pin wire harness.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all ratgdo32, ratgdo32 disco, and ratgdo v2.5i boards.
