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

the DIP Switch is set to
OFF (factory). If your gate
opens out from the property (

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 Gate
Bracket [FM148](see Push-to-Open Instructions
on page 31).
DIP Switch #4 - Lock/Beacon
This DIP selects the mode of operation of the "AUX
OUT" terminal.
The

Mighty Mule Opener.
