  • Page 4: Safety Instructions For The Gto/Pro-Sw-5101 And Gto/Pro Sw-6101 Swing Gate Operators

    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

    Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disengage and re-engage the operator foot pedal release (see GTO Foot Pedal Release on page 1). This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (see page 6).
  • Page 6 Important Safety Instructions 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 operation of the foot pedal release. Inform the consumer/end user that servicing of the operator must only be done by an experienced technician. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert public of automatic gate operation.
  • Page 7: Important Safety Instructions Specific To 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 SW-5100 and GTO/PRO SW-6100 operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1, B2, or D protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection.
  • Page 8: Important Safety Instructions For The Consumer/End User

    To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on the operation of the foot pedal release (see GTO Foot Pedal Release on page 1). If you feel you have not received full and proper instructions, contact your installer.
  • Page 9: Required Safety Precautions For Gates

    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 (available as an accessory) for controlled access.

  • Page 15: Using The Mounting Template

    Using the Mounting Template The mounting template (see insert) is designed to simplify mounting the operator. It provides the installer with the proper locations for running power and accessory wiring conduits. The template is also marked with the correct distance between the operator mounting holes and shows the installer how to position the operator for the correct clearance between the housing and the gate.

    SOFT START / SOFT STOP The GTO/PRO SW-5100 and GTO/PRO SW-6100 units have a soft start and soft stop feature that minimizes wear on mechanical and electrical components. The inverter regulates motor voltage to slowly start the gate, steadily increase gate speed, and then slowly decrease gate speed before it stops.
  • Page 24: Setting Your Personal Transmitter Code

    SETTING A PERSONAL TRANSMITTER CODE All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate the GTO/PRO SW-5100 & GTO/PRO SW-6100 series operators. For safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that the factory setting be replaced with a personal code.
  • Page 25: Installing Safety Covers On The Operator

    Furthermore, the installer must take reasonable precautions when installing a gate operator to prevent this type of injury (UL 325; 51.8.4 [a], [3]). GTO requires safety covers to be installed over the “pinch points” of the gate operator. In particular, the upper and lower splines, the knuckle joint of the gate arm assembly, and the operator itself must be covered.
