  • Page 4: Important Safety Instructions

    Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.

  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions For The System Designer

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE YSTEM ESIGNER WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. This operator is intended for use only vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walk- through gate (see Entrapment Protection on page 6). When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion.
  • Page 6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate. III. After Installation Review ALL safety instructions with the consumer/end user and explain the basic operation and safety systems of the entire gate operator system, including disconnecting the chain for manual gate operation. Inform the consumer/end user that servicing of the operator must only be done by an experienced technician.

  • Page 7: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment

    GTO gate operators utilize Type A, an inherent entrapment sensing system, as the primary type of entrapment protection. The GTO/PRO SL-1000/2000 and GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B gate operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1 and B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection.

  • Page 8: Important Safety Instructions For The Consumer/End User

    It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your installer or GTO for replacements. Verify that electric safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors) have been installed (see page 6). These safety devices should be tested monthly.
  • Page 9 For this reason, safety devices such as safety edges MUST be installed. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate. We recommend the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (see accessory catalog) for controlled access.

  • Page 19: Powering The System

    NOTE: Cycles shown are for single gate, dual gates will get approximately half as many cycles. 1) The MNC for the GTO/PRO SL-2000 is roughly comparable to most AC powered operators, and the transformer provided with this operator should handle most high traffic situations. If the battery does not seem to be able to provide the constant charge required for your application, the addition of the GTO/PRO 40 Amp Hour Battery Kit (see Accessoy Catalog) should provide ample power to handle any situation.
  • Page 20 6) The MNC for dual gate applications will be about 50% of those for a single gate. IMPORTANT: • The GTO transformer is intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof housing or cover (available at electrical supply stores) must be used.
  • Page 21 NOTE: Pull approximately 1 foot of extra wire to accommodate terminal connections. To maintain adequate charging power, use appropriate gauge, stranded, direct burial wire (see Accessory Catalog). Do not use telephone wire or any solid core wire because it will not provide adequate current. Never splice wires together. GTO T NSTALLATION OF THE RANSFORMER...

  • Page 23: Control Board Settings

    The four DIP switches on the control board match the operator with the type of gate on which it is mounted. For example, gates may open right to left or left to right. Prior to packaging, the GTO/PRO Sl-1000 and SL- 2000 series control board was configured for a single slide gate that opens right to left.

  • Page 24: Potentiometers

    All three potentiometers were set to minimum at the factory. The OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer MUST be adjusted above the factory setting for your GTO/PRO SL-2000 series operator to function properly. If the potentiometer is left at MIN, your gate operator may "obstruct"...

  • Page 25: Connecting The Receiver To The Control Board

    RANSMITTER All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to activate the automatic gate operator. For safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that the factory setting be replaced with a personal code.

  • Page 26: Mounting The Receiver

    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). NEVER splice receiver cable! • Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.

  • Page 27: Adjusting The Limit Switches

    DJUSTING IMIT WITCHES After the operator is installed, adjust the open and closed position limit switches as needed. The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and to close.

Lift limit switch plate to adjust limit nuts (see Illustration Limit Switch Plate The open and closed position switches will be reversed...

  • Page 28: Connecting Safety Devices

    AFETY EVICES The GTO/PRO SL-1000 and SL-2000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. These operators are designed to stop and reverse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury.
  • Page 29 Although GTO strongly recommends the use of safety devices, we do not endorse any specific brand names. Below is a list of some products compatable with GTO operators systems, some of which require their own power supply. Check with the individual manufacturer for specific power needs.

    ONNECTING CCESSORIES Make sure the control box power switch is OFF before connecting accessories. 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.

  • Page 32: Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    AINTENANCE The GTO Slide Gate Operator is designed for minimum maintenance. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken: Having a well maintained gate will ensure that the operator runs smoothly and safely. Make sure gate is hung level and plumb.
  • Page 33 ROUBLE HOOTING 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.
