Powering Up The Sensor; Adjusting The Range; Safety Precautions - Mighty Mule VEHICLE SENSOR Installation Manual

Powering Up the SENSOR:

IMPORTANT: When the SENSOR
is first powered up it must be un-
disturbed for 60 seconds to perform
the self test and calibrations. Before
powering the SENSOR make sure
there are no moving metal objects or
moving vehicles within range of the
SENSOR.
Step 15: Connect the DOUBLE SPADE CON-
NECTORS to the battery terminals (RED WIRES to
POSITIVE (+) battery terminal and BLACK WIRES
to NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal). Wait 60 seconds.
Turn the opener on and test the SENSOR.
NOTE:
If you have other accessories connected to your
battery with double spade connectors you may need
to connect a double spade connector to a double spade
connector in order to
connect all the acces-
sories.

Adjusting the Range:

Step 16: Test the SENSOR to see if it is working properly and if the
RANGE needs adjusting for optimum performance.
• Turn the potentiometer (POT) clockwise to increase range.
• Turn the potentiometer (POT) counter-clockwise to decrease range.
Replace the control box cover and cover the SENSOR and cable.

Safety Precautions:

Step 17: Place the WARNING SIGNS on both
sides of the gate using Ty-wraps included.
