Review on πŸ”‘ Mighty Mule FM137 Wireless Digital Keypad: Convenient Access Control Solution by Sheppard Priest

Top Secret Programming Guide for latest drives (MM271/371/571 etc.)

I bought this keyboard a few years ago and never used it. I bought a new gate opener (MM517W) in early June 2020 and decided to replace my old weathered keypad, it was the same model only older FM137s, with a new unopened one. I never had any problems with the old keyboard. Today I tried to install the keyboard. The guide for the new keyboard is exactly the same as on the mighty Maultier website. The problem is that the instructions are not compatible with the latest models of electromechanical locks (MM271/371/571, etc.), this is stated in many recent keyboard tests. Some of the reviewers mentioned that they had contacted technical support and received instructions, but then didn't include the instructions in the review. So here they are: *** Change the master code, you can follow the keyboard instructions to do this (actually it is not necessary to program the keyboard to open the gate, but you can do it now) *** 1 On the control board, press the orange button labeled S3, it's in the middle, I have a back icon above it. The control board will beep.2. Then use the keypad to enter the master code and hold the last digit until the control board beeps. Then release the last digit.3. Wait for the keyboard to beep three times before attempting to use the keyboard. This can take up to 40 seconds. After the keypad emits three beeps, test the keypad by entering the master code, the gate should open. This procedure worked for me and was recommended to me by technical support.
