- How to replace your novoferm / novotron 502 / 512 remote control battery. Remote garage door controller battery replacement. Having no instructions I decided to try to work out how to change the batteries. When I finally managed it I thought to share on RUclips to help others in the same situation.
Apparently the instructions seem to also apply to the Tormatic MAX 43-2 as advised by a viewer.
My remote is the older 502/504 device and appears to be supplied as standard with 2 x CR2016 which when placed in series gives 2 x the 3v per cell so a 6v system.
The newer 512 models - come standard with 1 x 2036. I would keep it standard.
Just be aware 2016 and 2032 are both 3v cells. once you stack them you double the voltage.
Please check which cell is fitted in yours and replace with the same to avoid any malfunction.
Its not easy to visually identify the 502/504 models vs 512 so if when you open yours use the same cell as installed from the factory.
Mike
People like you are the real heroes of RUclips!
Brilliant, just spent ages trying to lever open the small rebate end on mine! Much appreciated
That saved me all sorts of pain - Thank you for posting this...
HERZLICHEN Dank für diese Anleitung!
Many thanks indeed, you may have prevented me from injuring myself! I had a spare CR2032 3V battery lying around and it works perfectly, replacing the two 16mm originals.
Excellent! It requires so much force to open it until I saw this video I didn't have the courage to pull hard enough. Thank you Mr Dawson.
Thank you so much. Almost pulled my hair out trying to open with nail scissors before attempting with a screwdriver.
You're a star now that I see all the people that you have helped.
You are welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My fob says "TORMATIC MAX-32" on it very feintly but is exactly the same as the Novoferm 502 except for the colour! Worked a treat!
I thought I knew my way around these fobs.......no I didn't. These particular ones are not intuitive in the slightest. Like others I was using all sorts of implements to try to prise open the thick end of the fob until I found your explanation. Thank you very much indeed.
Brilliant! Our 16yr-old garage doors finally had one remote fail today - this showed me the cure for the battery swap! Thanks
I thought the batteries needed replaced in my novoferm remote control, after nearly 4 years and over 5000 cycles of the door opening it simply had lost its pairing with the control box. After simply following the manual, 1 press of the function button and pressing the round button on the remote, it paired up Instantly. Thank you Michael as I was struggling to work out how to access the batteries.
We couldn’t find manual on the internet on how to change Battery!
Many thanks for your kind instructions on how to change battery. Now it seems so simple.
Likewise, spent ages trying to open the front, after not finding any instruction. Thank you sooo much for taking the time to share the information.
Dankeschön!!! Wusste nicht wie ich an die Batterien rankomme! :-)
Thanks a lot for this. Never would have figured this out on my own.
Apparently it will also take a single CR2032 as that was what was in mine when I opened it. Makes sense as a 2032 is just a double height 2016.
Interesting. As per similar advice below by Dave who also noticed he could use a single double thickness CR2032. I have a question for Novofirm? How come some remotes have 2 x CR2016 in series which produces 2 x 3v whereas a single 3v CR2032 also works? Maybe there is a voltage regulator and the devices needs less than 3v? Interesting though. and thank you for sharing the knowledge :-) . It appears the model 502/504 uses 2 cells and the Newer 512 models use 1 x 2032. I would keep the replacement standard to what is fitted originally in your devices.
Thank you so much! I had no clue how I could get this little gadget open until I saw your video. Now it's simple!
Many thanks, You are a star. I was completely frustrated trying to open, and then looking for instructions on the suppliers sites on how to open this remote control. Your video did the trick. Brilliant.
Glad I could help
Thanks for this! I could not figure out how to open it at all!
I was in exactly the same situation until I stumbled upon the solution. So I thought everyone else must be in the same boat so I needed to share the knowledge.
Excellent, thanks. Also works for a Tormatic MAX 43-2
Great to hear!
So helpful! I was doing it totally wrong until I saw this, now it's easy.
Really helpful. How did people survive pre-internet? Cheers
You are a diamond! My brute force was about to end in disaster (again) and a new purchase.....! Thank you
Merci beaucoup pour ton tuto, franchement super bien.. je galère depuis quelques heures avec cette appareil.. j'ai taper novoferm 501 et paf je tombe direct sur ta vidéo explicative, certes en anglais mais l'on comprend assez bien les gestes à effectuer encore merci !!!
Absolutely brilliant!! Well done, Mickey Dee!! My remote had just one CR2032, instead of two CR2016s.
I would replace the battery with what is standard for your model. The manufacturer has changed the design on the 512 models to use 1 cell not 2. 2 x 2016 is twice the voltage. Best keep things standard to how yours was supplied.
A couple of things: 1. Thanks for writing about the batteries. My fob had just ONE CR2032 inside, which works fine. 2. Are you able to tell me what the oval-shaped button is for, below the circular-shaped button, which opens and closes the garage door?
Apparently, the elliptical button is supposed to control lights. @@alfredneumann4429
@@alfredneumann4429 The oval button can be synced to a second garage door.
@@talbius2 Thanks for all your help.
Thanks very much for this! Like others, I too was trying to open it from the rebate end!
Yep that was me too before I figured out a way to get to the batteries.
oh! just almost broke mine trying to open it from the wrong side. Thank you!
Vids like these make Y.T worthwhile. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoy it!
And today again a happy owner, thx mate for sharing this online
Your most welcome :-)
Great stuff. Thanks for this You have simplified a problem for me and, I see many others.
You’ve saved me so much time. Thank you.
Happy to help
Thank you, been attempting to get to the batteries for an hour and you sorted it! Excellent!
Thank you so much for this! Seems so simple once you’ve shown how to do it. Ours was going to get thrown out the window in anger!!
The number of times I’ve wrestled with these before I saw your video… ps worth noting that eventually the battery terminals inside seemed to be just a little too loose to make a reliable connection, I saved the price of new remote by carefully bending the top one downward so the batteries were tighter… seems to have saved purchase of new opener…
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for your help! I didn’t have 2 x CR2016 handy but did have a CR2032 and that worked to let me get the door open phew. I suppose the range might be less with 3V vs 6V so will get the 2 x CR2016 at some point.
At least opening it the next time will be easy.
I would check what model yours is. If its the newer 512 I would stick with 1 x 2032. If its the older 502/504 use 2 x 2016.
Thank you so much! You saven us a LOT of trouble!
Watch this, it saved me a lot of time and trouble--thanks
You don't know how long I've been trying to do that!
Thanks for your video.
Thank you so much, mate! I was going to destroy it with a screwdriver until I gave up and found your solution.
Thank you very much from Cologne, Germany🎉
Thank you very much. Spend 20 mins trying to open from the front (I made the tiny hole a big one Lol).
Thank you very much, this had me riddled... Now all i need is a new set of batteries...✌️ 😉
Thanks for making the video otherwise i had to go to the store for an explanation
Thank you so much for this video! It‘s just what I was looking for 😁
Thanks! I was about to break it before seeing the vid.
Brilliantly simple now you point it out. Thanks
Thank you. I was struggling with this until I found your video.
Thanks 1000 times, remarkable explanation. I'm happy again
Thanks for the tutorial. I needed it today 😊
You are most welcome
Thank you Mr. Dawson for your Video
Many many thanks, saved my remote control before I broke it.
Michael thanks a lot! Was a good quick help for me - thanks & stay safe!
Great video I really didn’t see how to open this fob thanks
Thanks Mike going out your way to record and post has got to send good Karma your way, Thanks
As a so called techy person and this stumped me, therefore once I finally worked it out after nearly breaking it I thought I must not be the only one out there in this situation :-) and I should pass on this technique to open it.
Thank you so much - had me wondering !!
Happy to help!
Fantastic - thank you very much indeed!
Thank you very much Michael - just what I needed to know
perfect description, crisp and concise, thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
That is and was very helpful!! Thank you very much Michael!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Michael. Very helpful.
Yes, brilliant indeed, thank you very much!!!
Thanks Michael. Big help.
Perfect - I was wondering how to do it and this worked a treat!
Muchas gracias. Me ha sido de gran ayuda! 👍
Thank you for the video and the explaination
Thanks!! I had no idea and no instructions.
Thank you! Great job :-D
hi i just changed the battery but it doesn't open the garage...how can it be configured again?
Try this ruclips.net/video/FNCNLjAV9ik/видео.html
Saved me the evening, thanks!
Great video. Thank you!!
You save my day
Perfect thanks, great easy video
Tank you very much!
très bien Michael
Thank you so much! Very helpful
Glad it helped!
That’s so helpful. Thanks for sharing.
This is very helpful, thanks!!
Good to know, as I thought there were CR2032 inside (for whatever reason). Our original blue remote control becomes unreliable after about ten+ years. Also, the parts seemed to fit quite tightly, I did not even manage to separate them in a first attempt. Bad news, I have to go shopping for CR2016s. ;) PS: So good they switched to grey from the infamous blue-silver colour scheme.
You can just put a 2032 inside. That is what is in mine. 2032 and 2016 are compatible, same voltage just double/half thickness.
@@luketimothy As long as it works... Although that would be half the voltage, 3V instead of 6V. I'd assume the performance to be best at 'design voltage'.
@@lw7108 good point, you’re right. It would be half the voltage. Perhaps resulting in a shorter range on the radio? Though in my experience the range I was getting was more than enough.
If yours has 1 x 2032 it is most likely the 512 model not the older 502/504 So best keep using 1 cell at 3v as 2 x 2016 will give 2 x 3v = 6v because the cells in series doubles the voltage. @@luketimothy
Thanks for that: very useful.
thank's. after replacing battery should we resync with the doors?
No I don't think that is necessary.
On the video I removed the batteries and the door worked just fine with no sync or programming.
It should be just fine.
Thanks, I was very confused 🤔
I am please I have helped you find a simple solution :-)
My remote which had 2xCR2016 also works with 1xCR2032, try this first if you have them at home when changing batteries.
Thank you so much for this
Many thanks Mickey, my plan was to use hammers….
😂 Thanks from France 🇫🇷 😅❤
Fantastic thank you 👍
thanx!
thank you a great help
Great help , thanks for the video
sensationell, thanks a lot sir
Finally i got this thing open ... like many other people i tried the little latch on the blue side and failed.
Thanks!
Thank you very much - I always forget :-).
Thank you very much
Thank you. You saved my life 😝
Thanks a lot. That saved a lot of frustation.
Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! But why the lamp blink red. It doesnt open :(
Hi your Keyfob and Door Controller may need to be synchronised. See the following
ruclips.net/video/t0JR_w5aab4/видео.html&ab_channel=GateRemotesLtd
Thanks a lot man
great info
Brilliant thanks but still showing red! Any advice
Do you mean the red light is on all the time and it won't open the door. Do you have any way to test the old batteries to see if they are in fact low or there may be another fault not related to just a battery change maybe. I am not a garage door engineer I just posted this video because I could not find how to get to the batteries and when I finally found out I thought it a good idea to share :-)
Hi Judith what is showing red please? The controller emits a red light when activated which is normal especially for mine.
