PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The Mighty Mule FM350 Single Opener is a practical system that allows for easy installation. The manufacturer includes everything essential to installation, including most hardware. Because this opener uses a low voltage charge, it is unnecessary to employ an electrician for installation, saving the customer some extra money. Also, the low voltage design allows the customer to use a household outlet within 1,000 ft. of the operator by running a 16-guage low voltage cord between the two. For customers who are eco-friendly, or who wish to save on electrical bills, it is also possible to use a solar panel to charge the battery. Likewise, since all the controls are lodged directly in the arm, it is a practical space-saver and reduces complicated multi-piece installation.
In addition, this unit can be used in a variety of layouts. Useful for residential situations, this opener can be used with gates constructed from a variety of materials, including, steel, aluminum, wood, and chain link, along with many others. Similarly, the Mighty Mule FM350 can be enhanced with a push-to-open bracket accessory (not included) to push the gate open away from the property, while the arms remain mounted on the side closest to the property. This system is also compatible with GTO's complete line of accessories, including keypads, transmitters, exit wands, gate locks, solar panels, etc.
As a final point, customers should consider this model’s resilience. The system runs off of a deep cycle marine battery (battery and battery housing not included), and the large battery has the capacity to hold enough stored energy for up to 1,500 back-up cycles. This ensures that even with a loss of active power supply, the opener will continue to function off the battery for many uses.

The customer also has the option of leaving this feature off so the gate remains open until an entry device activates the closing motion.
