The FM141 Driveway Vehicle Sensor, also known as a Probe or Wand, is designed for direct burial. It wires directly to the Gate Opener Control Box and detects mass metal in motion. This unit is specifically recommended for use on the inside of the property to allow free exit by vehicles without requiring manual button presses. Here are the key features:
- Installation: The FM141 is an easy DIY (Do It Yourself) installation. It should be placed next to your driveway, 3-50 feet away from the gate, and works with both single and dual gates.
- Cable Length: It comes with a 150-foot cable, which should be trenched and buried no more than 12 inches deep.
- Magnetic Field Detection: The sensor’s 12-foot magnetic field detects vehicles (such as cars, trucks, ATVs, and motorcycles) as they cross through the field. As the vehicle exits, the gate will automatically open.
The FM141 Driveway Vehicle Sensor provides a convenient solution for controlled gate access within your property boundaries. Consider pairing it with other Mighty Mule accessories for enhanced security and convenience. Remember that it’s backed by a 12-month Mighty Mule Warranty and lifetime technical support.
