What causes Mighty Mule FM200 Gate Opener to emit beeping sounds when it is closed and what can be done to stop it and fix it? Very loud beeping!

The beeps have meaning. Go to the Mighty Mule website, and download the manual for your particular gate opener model. It will tell you what each beep pattern means.

I just turn the gate opener off then turn it on again. Usually this fixes the problem.

There are toggles on the inside of the box that you can select to turn the sound on and off.

I would assume that it uses a standard beeper, a round, squat plastic cylinder with a small hole in the top that projects the sound. You would have to open up the unit, which would void your warranty, and place a small piece of tape over the hole, thus reducing the beep to a very low sound, but it would still be there.

Unacceptable that your humidifier beeps all the time--Send it back to the manufacturer (we had to do this once) and get a refund (or your humidifier back!Good luck! Joan

I have not experienced that but one thing I found that is disturbing is that when the closing sequence has started and the unit beeps, if you manually close the door, it opened it back up when the sequence came to the end. That could be a problem if one leaves without checking. Also this gadget works well but it goes through batteries pretty quick and the flashing red light does not tell you which unit, the door sensor or the wall unit, needs replacement. Anyway, so far so good but if you do not have an outside keypad and forget your closer, this thing will lock you out.

I'm sorry but I checked tell instruction manual and there is nothing about the beeping. Mine is loud enough to hear even in the next room with noises in the background.

by putting new batteries in it and pushing the button ,and it will make a beeping sound. you have too do this a lot, and my dog seems to be over powering it, he`s sometimes too strong willed.

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

a little late but do you have it plugged into a power strip or a UPS? if so try plugging it into the wall directly just to see if it still beeps.. in my case it was the UPS that was causing the beeping, (under powering it)

Sometimes the gate will not close all the way but it should. I think ours did this but after some use it stopped. Hope that makes sense.

We use ours for a gate which automatically closes after a set period (about 45 seconds). Using the accompanying remotes, they do indeed close the gate back if punched a second time. I'll try tomorrow, using the keypad and post what happens for you.

try blowing it out with a pressure-ized aresol can of computer keyboard dust remover or moterized portable air tire pump...you can try this twice, no more! In the vent slits of th unit hub itself away from yours and anyone elses face . re-mount the unit and test it,and wait to hear if the "die-ing" beeps return..could happen later again....remember , these are disposible devices,anf it won't clean up..throw it out ! replace it

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

Hey, I hear the beeping when I'm taking the video and when the video is played online. It's more than irritating. It's a defect. Also, the volume is way too low. I'm irritated that these critical things aren't right.

i thought the same thing but hold the button down to test for a beep. then press button again to disengage so it stops. keep you eye on the light it does not blink that often but it should blink. if that does not work contact mfg. cause something is wrong. but again it takes time to see it blink and if the test work it is working from what i can see.

If you are talking about shutting down the sound beep(s) when the door is closing from the monitor or opening from outside, then just press the square push button key with drawing of loudspeaker. Each time you press the button you hear a beep from the unit, from no sound, soft, medium and to loud level. That will set monitor's beep (alarm) to no sound, low, medium or loud. It seems that if you "disable" closing door beep you also "disable" open door beep.In case you want to disable "alarm" from garage opener when the door is closing from monitor, I believe that is not possible because this a safety feature.

It does not have silent operation mode. It beeps whenever it's being opened.

Sounds like a defective collar or transmitter. It should have 4 modes - shock, vibrate, beep and light - each doing that mode only. If it vibrates in both vibrate mode and beep mode, it must be defective.
