Important Safety Information

For the Installer and End User

Mighty Mule gate operators utilize Dual Sense Tech-

nology™ entrapment protection. Dual Sense Technol-

ogy™ is built into every Mighty Mule and provides

redundant methods of entrapment protection for open

and close gate directions.

In addition to Dual Sense Technology, every Mighty

Mule gate controller has provisions for the connection

of additional obstruction detection devices such as

sensing edges and photo beams.

These devices may be located where there is an

increased risk of obstruction. Refer to the diagram

below.

One or more edge sensors may be located at the lead-

ing edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and

outside of a vehicular swing gate system.

Wiring to sensors must be located and arranged so the

wiring between the sensor and the gate operator is not

subjected to mechanical damage.

A wireless sensor such as one that

transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate

operator for obstruction protection functions shall be

located where the transmission of the signals is not

blocked or impeded by building

structures, natural landscaping or similar

objects.

Entrapment Alarm

The Mighty Mule Automatic Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse the gate when the gate comes in contact with

an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will activate if the unit

obstructs twice while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives

an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully

open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the

alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

Entrapment and Obstruction Protection

Mighty Mules’ Dual Sense Technology™ provides entrapment protection when properly adjusted. Since all installations

are different, you may need to add photo beams or sensing edges to help prevent damage to vehicle or other items that

could be hit by a moving gate.
