Yes, you can program your LiftMaster RSW12UL gate opener so that company that visits can get out without having to give them an opener. There are two ways to do this:

Use a keypad

If you have a keypad installed on the outside of your gate, you can program it to allow guests to enter a code to open the gate. To do this, you will need to follow the instructions in your gate opener's manual.

Use a sensor

You can also use a sensor to detect when a vehicle is leaving your property and automatically open the gate. This is a more secure option, as it prevents guests from being able to open the gate without your permission. To do this, you will need to purchase a sensor and install it in your gate.

Here are the steps on how to program a keypad on your LiftMaster RSW12UL gate opener:

Locate the keypad on the outside of your gate.

Press and hold the "Learn" button on the keypad for 3 seconds.

Enter the 4-digit code that you want to use for guests.

Press the "Enter" button.

The keypad will beep to confirm that the code has been programmed.

Here are the steps on how to install a sensor on your LiftMaster RSW12UL gate opener:

Purchase a sensor that is compatible with your gate opener.

Install the sensor in your gate according to the instructions that come with it.

Follow the instructions in your gate opener's manual to program the sensor.

Once you have programmed your gate opener, guests will be able to open the gate by entering the code on the keypad or by driving over the sensor.

I hope this helps!

The LiftMaster RSW12UL gate opener typically supports multiple methods of access control, including sensors for exiting. To allow visitors to exit without needing a physical opener, you can consider installing a vehicle exit sensor or loop detector. These sensors are placed on the ground near the gate and can automatically trigger the gate to open when a vehicle approaches. They do not require a physical device or input from the visitor.

You may need to consult the user manual for your specific gate opener model or contact LiftMaster customer support for guidance on how to install and program a vehicle exit sensor with your gate opener. It's important to ensure that any modifications you make comply with safety regulations and do not compromise the security of your property.
