LiftMaster LMSC1000 RFID Long-Range Reader | 20-30 ft UHF, 26-Bit Wiegand

Description

Genuine LiftMaster LMSC1000 — the RFID long-range reader for LiftMaster access control. A passive UHF reader (902–928 MHz, ISO 18000-6C / EPC Gen 2) that picks up a windshield or hang tag at 20–30 ft and hands the number to the access controller as a standard 26-bit Wiegand credential, so a resident's car opens the gate without a remote, a card or a stop at the keypad. It is the reader LiftMaster tests with its CAPXL / CAPXLV intercoms and the CAP2D controller, and the tags are the SPLMUNTG windshield / headlamp tag and SPLMHNTG mirror hang tag.

What ships in the box. Reader / antenna unit, mounting bracket with two U-bolts for a square or round post, the S2W Wiegand interface module, and a 120 VAC to 12 VDC 3 A power supply. Tags are sold separately in lots of 50 (windshield) or 25 (hang). The S2W module and the power supply mount indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure — the reader itself is the only part that lives on the post.

The LiftMaster access system

Part	Role
LMSC1000 (this reader)	Reads the vehicle tag at 20–30 ft and outputs Wiegand
SPLMUNTG	Windshield or headlamp tag, custom facility code, lot of 50
SPLMHNTG	Rear-view mirror hang tag for fleet and loaner vehicles, lot of 25
CAP2D	Cloud 2-door controller — where the reader plugs in when there is no intercom
CAPXLV2 / CAPXM / CAPXS	Smart video intercoms with Wiegand reader inputs
CAPAC	Smart access hub for doors and gates on the same myQ Community account

Tags and readers are a matched set. LiftMaster specifies the LMUNTG / LMHNTG family for this reader. TransCore, AWID, DoorKing and Infinity readers each read their own tags — the RFID tags category lists them by system. Order the tags coded to the facility code you will use on the controller, and order the whole first batch in one run so the numbers are sequential.

Installing it

Mount the reader on the post at roughly windshield or headlamp height, aimed down the approach lane on the side the tags are mounted, and keep it clear of metal fencing in the beam. Run 12 VDC and the Wiegand pair from the S2W module to the controller's reader input, set the range low and raise it until the tag reads where you want the gate to start — too much range reads the next lane. Enrol each tag in myQ Community by its number and facility code, exactly as you would a card.

Common questions

Will it work with a DoorKing or other Wiegand controller?
The S2W module outputs standard 26-bit Wiegand, which any controller with a Wiegand reader input accepts. LiftMaster supports and tests it with its own CAPXL / CAPXLV / CAPXM / CAP2D; on another maker's panel you are relying on the standard, not on LiftMaster.

Do I need a subscription?
For myQ Community management of tags and residents on a CAPXLV / CAP2D system, yes — that is the site's access-control account, not a reader fee.

How far will it read?
20–30 ft with a correctly placed tag. Metallic or heated windshields shorten it — that is why the LMUNTG can go on the headlamp.

Can residents use their phones instead?
The intercom and CAP2D support myQ app credentials separately; the reader is for hands-free vehicle entry.

What if a tag is lost or a car is sold?
Delete the number from the controller and issue a new tag. The tags destroy themselves if peeled, so a lost car does not carry a working credential.
