A:  Dear Florida Mom, yes, this will work. GTO/Pro brand was our name prior to Mighty Mule. The FM140 is exactly what you need to work with your MM372W. Thank you

            Q:Why is the 100' sensor so much cheaper than the 75' one? Are there differences other than the length of the connecting wire to the control panel?

            Q:Can I run two of these? My driveway branches just before my gate -two different approaches- and cannot span this distance with just one sensor (sensing wand works for just 12'?). Can I connect up two to the control panel, or, splice the wires from one into the other which then runs to the control panel?

            A:  I assume if you splice the wires together it will work... or just install it in the middle of the split

              A:  Me, Thank you for taking the time to post your question! Yes, two wired gate opening sensors can be wired into one Mighty Mule gate opener. The sensing range on the gate opening sensor is 12 ft. around the sensor. Thank you!

                A:  Yes you can run two, better to connect them at the panel,

                    A:  it has a 12 foot sensor range so unless your driveway is more than 30 feet wide it is not necessary

                    by|Feb 24, 2021

                      A:  I tried this and the answer is a definite NO. They signals cancel each other out and the gate ends up opening and closing endlessly. I tried wiring them into the same input port, and wiring them into different input ports, but the result was always the same. The gates just open and close. Sometimes right away, and sometimes after a 15 minute lag when you think maybe it worked itself out, but always back to the same problem. I ended up with a wireless keypad on one side and I just programmed it with every simple combo I could think of to keep it simple for deliveries.

                      A:  Hello Dot, Thank you for posting your question. Yes, you can splice/repair the separated wires back together. We do recommend that you use a weatherproof heat shrinkable kit to do this. A weatherproof spice kit is available at any Home Depot store. Thank you,

                        A:  you can splice the wires if you use waterproof connectors, I ran he above ground wires in pvc to keep the animals from chewing on it,

                              A:  The gat has an adjustment up to like 120 seconds or 30 seconds, some bad reviews come from those who don’t understand it or are doing it wrong

                                A:  Hello Jamo, Thank you for posting your question. The time that your gate opener will stay opened is determined by how long you have the adjustable auto-close timer set on your Mighty Mule Gate Opener. The auto close timer is adjustable from 15 to 120 seconds. Thank you,
