GTO Mighty Mule FM130 Wireless Driveway Vehicle Sensor — 100 ft Range, Adjustable Sensitivity

The GTO Mighty Mule FM130 is a wireless magnetic driveway sensor that automatically opens your gate when a vehicle passes through its adjustable detection field.

Designed for homeowners who want a reliable, do-it-yourself solution for hands-free gate exit, the FM130 uses electromagnetic detection to sense passing vehicles and trigger compatible gate openers from up to 100 feet away. Its compact housing and simple mounting options make it suitable for residential driveways, ranch entries, and small commercial sites where guests or deliveries need to exit without a remote control or keypad access.

How does the FM130 detect my vehicle?

The sensor creates a magnetic detection zone that senses changes when a metal vehicle enters the field. You set the sensitivity to match your typical vehicles — cars, trucks, or ATVs — so the sensor reliably distinguishes vehicles from background movement.

• Electromagnetic detection senses metal mass within a magnetic field
• Adjustable sensitivity range between approximately 3 and 12 feet
• 12 ft. maximum detection field recommended for typical installations
• Works with most gate openers that accept a sensor input

Will it work at the distance between my gate and opener?

The FM130 transmits wirelessly up to about 100 feet to your gate opener, allowing flexible placement of the sensor relative to the gate. Range can vary with terrain and interference, so placing the sensor within clear line-of-sight and testing during installation ensures dependable operation.

• Wireless range rated up to 100 ft from the gate opener
• Performance influenced by obstructions, metal structures, and radio interference
• Mount on a post or surface that offers stable alignment with the driveway path
• Simple range testing during setup validates placement before final installation

How easy is installation and setup?

The FM130 is built for homeowner installation without specialized tools or professional help. The package includes mounting hardware and a straightforward setup procedure for pairing with compatible Mighty Mule openers or other systems that accept a sensor input.

• Do-it-yourself mounting hardware included for post or surface attachment
• Wireless pairing and basic wiring to gate opener are clearly documented

How does the FM130 help guests or delivery vehicles?

The FM130 allows vehicles to exit your property without requiring a remote, keypad code, or smartphone — useful for guest departures, deliveries, or service vehicles. It opens the gate automatically when a vehicle passes through the detection field, simplifying traffic flow while keeping your access controls intact for entering traffic.
