Step 3: All Mighty Mule and GTO/PRO DC powered gate operators have a POWER IN terminal on their control  
boards marked SOLAR for connecting the solar panel wires. Below are various types of terminals on GTO/PRO  
and Mighty Mule control boards, if your control board doesn't have this terminal, please call the GTO's Technical  
Service Department at (800)543-1236 or (850)575-4144 for assistance.  
Feed the free end of the solar panel wires into the control box and attach them to the SOLAR terminals on the  
POWER IN terminal block on the control board. The RED solar panel wire goes to the (+) POSITIVE Solar ter-  
minal and the BLACK solar panel wire goes to the (–) NEGATIVE Solar terminal. See diagram below.  
IMPORTANT: Improper installation of these wires will damage to the opener's control board.

*An operational cycle is one full  
opening and closing of the gate.  
*Number of openings per day will  
depend on the length, weight, hard-  
ware and environmental conditions.  
All dual gate installations require a minimum of 10 Watts of solar charging power.  
Accessories will draw additional power from the battery; the more  
accessories you connect, the more power your system will require.  
We recommend that you purchase an extra 12V, 7 amp hour battery  
(RB500) for the FM500/502, SW2500/2502, SW3000XL/3200XL,  
SW4000XL/4200XL
