1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems.
2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE S YSTEM D ESIGNER W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. This operator is intended for use only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walk- through gate ( see Entrapment Protection on page 6 ).

19 S TEP 12: Strip 3 / 16 " off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. These wire ends will be attached to the control board at the 18VAC terminals located on the POWER IN terminal block ( see Illustration L ).
20 CONTR OL BO ARD SETTINGS 1234 ON OBSTRUCT SENS. PULL/PUSH SEQ1 SNGL/DUAL SEQ2 LEARN DIP switches MIN MAX The four DIP switches on the control board match the operator with the type of gate on which it is mounted. F or e xample, gates may open right to left or left to right.
21 P O TENTIOMETERS The three (3) potentiometers on the control board operate like a v olume control on a radio. They control the auto close timer , inertia, and obstruction sensitivity of the operator . Use a small slotted screwdri ver to turn the arro w in the center of the potentiometer .
22 2. S ET THE TRANSMITTER DIP S WITCHES There are nine (9) transmitter DIP switches; each of which can be placed in three different positions ( + , 0 , – ). DO NOT set all the switches in the same position, such as all +, all 0 , or all – . Once the DIP switches have been set to a personal code, replace and close the access cover.
23 M OUNTING THE R ECEIVER Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it. Consider the following when mounting the receiver: • Receiver cable length is 20 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special order items; Call the GTO Sales Department ).
24 Limit Nut B Closed position stop – if gate opens right to left. Open position stop – if gate opens left to right. Limit Nut A Open position stop – if gate opens right to left. Closed position stop – if gate opens left to right. After the operator is installed, adjust the open and closed position limit switches as needed.
25 C ONNECTING S AFETY D EVICES The GT O/PR O SL-1000 and SL-2000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensiti vity . These operators are designed to stop and reverse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction.
26 C ONNECTING A CCESSORIES The ACCESSORY terminal block is the connection point for accessories such as push buttons, safety loops, intercoms, etc. The ACCESSORY terminal marked GRN (green) is the common ground for all accessories. GRN is paired with the terminals shown below when connecting accessories to the control board.
27 Mount the operator housing after all installation procedures are complete. Slide operator housing over legs, align holes, and use screws provided to attach housing to operator. IMPORTANT : Hang the two (2) GTO Warning Signs (provided) on both sides of the gate before operating.
28 M AINTEN ANCE G AT E Ha ving a well maintained gate will ensure that the operator runs smoothly and safely . Make sure gate is hung le vel and plumb . Check and adjust periodically . Lubricate rollers periodically with grease appropriate for the coldest weather in your area.
29 T R OUBLE S HOO TING G UIDE Maintenance: • On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely grease the ball bearing rollers at least 4 times a year; grease more frequently if the gates are near a coastal area. • Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board.

36 S ETTING THE C ONTR OL B O ARD FOR D UA L G AT E I NST ALLA TIONS DIP S WITCHES The Control Board DIP switches must be set to accommodate your particular type of installation. Since the SNGL / DUAL , SEQ1 , and SEQ2 DIP switches are used by dual gate operator systems, they will be discussed in the following steps.
37 FIRST OPERATOR OPENS FIRST, SECOND OPERATOR CLOSES FIRST SEQ1 = OFF SEQ2 = ON If SEQ1 is set to OFF , and SEQ2 is set to ON , the FIRST OPERATOR will open first, and the SECOND OPERATOR will close first ( see illustration ).
38 GTO Entry Transmitter (RB741) The GTO Entry Transmitter, with adjustable code settings, is standard equipment with all GTO gate operator systems. Battery included.
39 ACCESS- ORIES GTO Low Voltage Wire (RB509) The 16 gauge dual conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial low voltage wire is required to connect the control board to the solar panel or the AC transformer.
40 Replacement Batteries RB500 – The standard 12 volt, 7.0 ampere-hour, maintenance-free battery for all GTO/PRO gate operators. This is the only battery approved for use with GTO gate operators. Battery life 3 to 5 years. RB422 –The 12 volt, 1.2 ampere-hour version for use with the Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock.
I NST ALLA TION C HECK L IST The installation of this operator conforms to CLASS __________. The installer verifies that (each item must be checked): ___ Required safety edges were installed. ___ Roller guards were installed over gate rollers. ___ Fence was screened so that no one can reach through the gate to operate controls.
An important point after buying a device GTO SL-1000 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought GTO SL-1000 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above.
