Powering Options: Transformer or Solar

IMPORTANT:

The Mighty Mule 352 is designed and intended for use with a 12 Volt automotive or marine type battery. The battery must be placed inside a weatherproof case and located within 6 feet of the opener arm. The 10 foot harness supplied connects the battery to the master arm.

The battery charge is maintained by the 18 Volt transformer included or by using optional solar panel(s). The transformer or solar panel is connected to the opener arm control board using low voltage, 16 gauge, dual conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (RB509) (see page 24 and the Accessory Catalog).

All low voltage wire used with the Mighty Mule® 352 Gate Opener must be 16 gauge dual conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 24 and the Accessory Catalog). Do not run more than 1000 feet of wire.

The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover or housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used.

If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an ac power source, you will need to use at least one

10 watt Solar Panel to charge the battery (see Accessory Catalog). Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate Activity chart below.

NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME

– it will damage the control board –

The table and map illustrate the maximum number

of gate cycles to expect per day in a particular area when using from 10 to 30 watts of solar

charging power. (see Accessory Catalog). The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account for the use of any accessory items.

Accessories connected to your system will draw additional power from the battery and will require additional solar panels.

*Use up to 250 feet of 16 AWG wire to place solar panel in a good location.
