Might Mule FM502 Dual Swing Gate Opener (FM502)

The Mighty Mule FM502 Dual Opener is a practical system that allows for easy installation. 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. The Mighty Mule FM502's oversized control box can hold two 7 amp/hour batteries (second battery not included). This means the unit has the capacity for extra power storage for solar power, as well as for higher opening cycle situations.

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 FM502 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 a variety of accessories, including keypads, transmitters, exit wands, gate locks, solar panels, etc.

• Learn Mode - The learning mode allows the customer to set end points with a remote. Using the transmitter, the user tells the opener where to stop, and then these settings can be saved on the control board.
• Soft Start/Soft Stop - This feature eases the wear and tear on the gate. During a normal cycle, the opener automatically slows the motion of the gate near the stop points so the gate closes smoothly and with minimal impact. This feature can also be switched off.
• Closing Timer - The closing timer allows the customer to set the gate to close automatically at 0 to 120 seconds after the gate has reached the fully open position. The customer also has the option of leaving this feature off so the gate remains open until an entry device activates the closing motion.
