DRIVE
_____________________________________
• Low friction screw drive (linear actuator) rated for -5 °F to +160 °F (-20 °C to +71 °C).
• Powered by a 12 V motor with integral gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 348 rpm at 12 V.
• Maximum opening arc of 110°. Approximate opening time (90°): 18 seconds, depending on weight of gate.

POWER
_____________________________________
• The system is powered by a 12 Vdc automotive, lawn, tractor or marine battery (required but not included). A second Mighty Mule battery
may be used (not included).
• Battery charger is on the control board and maintained by a 120VAC to 19VDC output transformer or by optional Solar Panels; the panel
should generate minimum of 10 Watts (600 mA/20 watt max.). A diode on the control board prevents battery discharge. IMPORTANT:
Never use both transformer and solar panel— this will damage the battery and control board.
• Three (3) Mini blade-style fuses rated for 25A.
• NOTE: The transformer should not be directly connected to any battery. Do not replace fuses with higher
ampere rated fuses; doing so will void your warranty and may damage your control board.

CONTROL
_____________________________________
• Microprocessor-based control board is set for single or dual leaf, pull-to-open or push-to-open installations.
• Control board has temperature compensated circuits.
• Learn based digital transmitter technology provides millions of codes for enhanced security.
• Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is 40 1/4”, mounting point to mounting point. Maximum stroke is 20”.
• Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF to 3–120 seconds), and Dual Sense Technology™ stall force).
• Power terminal block accommodates a transformer or solar panels.
• Accessory terminal block fully compatible with all Mighty Mule access controls.
• Control board allows connection of edge sensors and photoelectric sensors.
• Audio entrapment alarm sounds if unit encounters an obstruction twice while opening or closing.
