MIGHTY MULE 362-D GATE OPENER
_____________________________________
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 case hardened steel gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 260 rpm.
Generates 520 inch lb. of torque 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 or lawn tractor battery.
• Battery charge is maintained by a 120 Vac, 14 Vac output transformer (10 VA) through the GTO control board] or
by optional GTO Solar Panels; the panel should generate minimum of 10 Watts (600 mA). 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 fuse is rated for 15 A.
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 _____________________________________
•
GTO
microprocessor-based control board is set for dual leaf, pull-to-open gate installations. Jumper can be
removed to accommodate an optional kit for push-to-open gates.
• Control board has temperature compensated circuits.
• A circuit on the control board regulates charging. “Sleep draw” is 15 mA; “active draw” is 2 to 5 A.
• Auto-memorization of digital transmitter code.
• GTO RF receiver tuned to 318 MHz.
• Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is 26

/

", mounting point to mounting point. Maximum stroke is
13".
• Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF to 3–120 seconds), and obstruction sensitivity (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 safety edge sensors and photoelectric sensors.
• Audio entrapment alarm sounds if unit encounters an obstruction twice while opening or closing.
_____________________________________ OPERATIONAL CAPACITY _____________________________________
• The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the Mighty Mule 362-D
Automatic Gate Opener when powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the
type and condition of gate and installation.
NOTE: BALL BEARING HINGES SHOULD BE USED ON ALL GATES WEIGHING OVER 250 LB.
To determine the number of cycles the gate opener will perform using solar panels, please see the specifications
listed on page 2 or call
