Connecting Solar Panel(s)

IMPORTANT: Never connect the transformer and a solar panel to the opener control board at the same time. It will damage the control board.

If you are using the transformer included with the Mighty Mule 350 to charge the opener battery, skip this section and go to

"CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS" below.

LOCK/BEACON

Strip 3/16" off the ends of the low voltage wire from the solar panel and twist tightly. Attach the RED solar panel wire to the SOLAR terminal marked (+) and the BLACK solar panel wire to the SOLAR terminal marked (–).

Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion.

NOTE: For multiple panels wire the panels in parallel as shown in this diagram.

Main DIP Switch Settings (MODES)

DIP Switch #1 - Push/Pull-to-Open

If your gate opens into the property the DIP Switch is set to OFF (factory). If your gate opens out from the property the DIP Switch must be set to the ON position. NOTE: if you have a Push-to-Open gate application you will need a Push-to-Open bracket (see Push-to-Open Instructions on page 33).

DIP Switch #4 - Lock/Beacon

This DIP selects the mode of operation of the "AUX OUT" terminal.

The OFF (factory) setting is selected when the Mighty Mule Automatic Gate Lock is used with the Mighty

Mule 350. The RED wire from the lock control board is connected to the "AUX OUT +" terminal and the BLACK wire from the lock control board is connected to the "AUX OUT –" terninal. (OFF position provides a timed pulse of voltage to the accessory while the gate opener is activated.)

The ON setting is selected when a beacon or light is used with the Mighty Mule 350. One wire from the low voltage beacon or lighst is connected to the "AUX OUT +" terminal and the other to the "AUX OUT –" terminal. Wire colors doesn't matterfor this connection. (ON position provides a continuous voltage to the accessory while the gate opener is activated.)
