 E-Z Swing Gate Operator |

Mighty Mule 350 Single Gate Operator |
Low Voltage Swing Gate Operator designed specifically for
rural farm and ranch style applications. The Mighty Mule 350 is designed for medium weight
gates. Unlike most Mighty Mule operators, the Mighty Mule 350 uses a 12V automobile or
marine battery (not supplied). It also has no control box, the control board is mounted in
the operator housing. This versatile Mighty Mule gate operator is ideal for medium weight
tubular steel, vinyl, wood, or chain link gates. Can be powered by either a low voltage
transformer or solar charger. Read our frequently asked questions page for more information. If you still need

- 12 volt system, no electrician needed for
installation
- Gate will work during electrical power
outage
- Quick and easy installation, with user
friendly instructions
- Solar Panel Charger available for remote
locations
- Will operate a gate up to 8' long and weighing up to 550
lbs., or 16' long and weighing up to 150 lbs.(see cycle chart link below for recommended
gate lengths and weights)
- Can operate 175 or more gate cycles per day
using transformer charger, depending on gate size and weight (see cycle chart link below)

transmitter, AC transformer, and all necessary mounting hardware for a standard
installation. Standard automotive or
marine battery housed in a standard battery box is required (not included)

Technical Specifications:
- Low friction screw drive (linear actuator) rated for -5º F
(-28º C) to +160ºF (+71ºC)
- Powered by reliable 12 volt DC motor with integral case
hardened steel gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 260 rpm. Generates 520 inch lb. of
torque at 12V.
- Maximum opening arc of 110º.
- Approximate opening time (90º) is 18 seconds, depending on
weight of gate.

- The Mighty Mule 350 system is powered by a 12VDC automobile
or marine battery (not supplied). A weatherproof battery box is required, can be found in
most hardware, automotive, marine, or home centers.
- Battery charge maintained by a 120VAC, 18VAC output
transformer (rectified to 14.5VDC (40VA) through the control board or by optional GTO
solar panels (the panel should generate minimum of 5W at 300mA). 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.
- One (1) blade-style control board fuse is rated for 15A.
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.

- GTO microprocessor-based control board is set for single
leaf, pull-to-open gate installations. DIP switches can be adjusted to accommodate an
optional kit for push-to-open gates (FM148).
- Control board has temperature conpensated circuits.
- A circuit on the control board regulates charging.
"Sleep draw is 25mA; "active draw" is 2 to 5A.
- Auto-memorization of digital transmitter code.
- GTO remote-mounted RF receiver tuned at 318 MHz.
- Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is
37-1/4", mounting point to mounting point.
- Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF to 120 seconds), and
obstruction sensitivity.
- Power terminal block accommodates a transformer or solar
panels
- DIP switches simplify setup of gate opener.
- Accessory terminal block fully compatible with all Mighty
Mule access controls.
- Control board allows connection of safety edge sensors and
photoelectric sensors.
- Audio entrapment alarm sounds if unit encounters an
obstruction twice while opening or closing.
-
Battery Heater recommended for zones where temperatures drop
below freezing for extended periods of time to prevent cold weather
discharge.
