1 IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high lev els of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers hav e an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems.
2 IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS FOR THE S YSTEM D ESIGNER W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLO W ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. This operator is intended for use only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walk-through g ate ( see Entrapment Protection on pa ge 6 ).
3 IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS 5. Mount access controls away from the gate ( minimum distance is 10 feet). The user must hav e full vie w of the gate b ut be unable to touch it while operating the controls. 6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.
4 IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS S ECOND ARY M EANS OF P R O TECTION A GAINST E NTRAPMENT As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (31.1.1), automatic gate operators shall hav e pr ovisions for , or be supplied with , at least one independent primary and one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment.
5 IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS F OR THE C ONSUMER /E ND U SER W ARNING: T o reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLO W ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPOR T ANT SAFETY INSTR UCTIONS manual with all persons authorized to use your gate.

18 S TEP 11: Feed the lo w voltage wires upward through the strain relief on the bottom of the control box ( see Illustration J ). Pull 6” to 8” of wire into the control box.
19 S TEP 12: Strip 3 / 16 ” of f the ends of the lo w voltage wire and twist tightly . These wire ends will be attached to the control board at the 18V A C terminals located on the PO WER IN terminal block ( see Illustr ation L ).
20 The four DIP switches on the control board match the operator with the type of gate on which it is mounted. For e xample, gates may open right to left or left to right. Prior to packaging, the GT O/PR O SL-1000 and SL-2000 series control board was configured for a single slide gate that opens right to left .
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 .

23 M OUNTING THE R ECEIVER Consider the following when mounting the r eceiver: • Receiv er cable length is 20 feet (receiv ers with a longer cable are av ailable as special order items; Call the GTO Sales Department ). NEVER splice recei ver cable! • Run the cable through PVC conduit to pr otect it from damage.
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 GTO/PR O SL-1000 and SL-2000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensiti vity . These operators are designed to stop and re verse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction.
26 C ONNECTING A CCESSORIES The A CCESSOR Y terminal block is the connection point for accessories such as push buttons, safety loops, intercoms, etc. The A CCESSOR Y terminal marked GRN (green) is the common ground for all accessories. GRN is paired with the terminals sho wn belo w when connecting accessories to the control board.
27 Mount the operator housing after all installation procedures are complete. Slide operator housing ov er le gs, align holes, and use scre ws pro vided to attach housing to operator . IMPOR T ANT : Hang the tw o (2) GTO W arning Signs (provided) on both sides of the gate before operating.
28 M AINTEN ANCE G A TE Having a well maintained g ate 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. • K eep a fe w mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board.
