The GTO/PRO SW-5101 and SW-6101 automatic swing gate operators are intended for use with vehicular gates. The operators can be used in Class I, II, III, and IV applications. VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR CLASS CATEGORIES Residential Vehicular Gate Operator-Class I: A vehicular gate operator (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to-four single family dwelling, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
TABLE OF CONTENTS Gate Operator Class Categories ........................Inside Cover Metric Conversion Chart ...............................Inside Cover Safety Instructions for the GTO/PRO-SW-5101 and GTO/PRO SW-6101 Swing Gate Operators ........1 GTO Foot Pedal Release ..................................1 Important Safety Instructions for the System Designer ......................... 2 Important Safety Instructions for the Installer ............................
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.
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).

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.
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.
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.
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.
Important Safety Instructions Warning Labels These warning signs and labels should be found at the locations specified below. If any of them are missing, immediately contact your installer for replacements. WARNING WARNING Moving Gate Can Cause Injury Or Death 1. KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time. 2.

INSTALLING THE GATE OPERATOR THIS UNIT MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY AN EXPERIENCED TECHNICIAN. Preparation of the Gate Before installing the GTO/PRO swing gate operator, make sure: • the gate is properly installed. • the gate is plumb, level, and moves freely.
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.

Battery Terminals The battery terminals provide the GTO/PRO SW-5101 and GTO/PRO SW-6101 gate operators with back-up power in the event of an AC power failure. Two 12 V GTO back-up batteries are shipped installed and wired to the control board.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Installing a Dual Slide Gate Operator System IMPORTANT: With a dual gate system certain control board settings and connections are required on the MASTER unit only and some are required on both the MASTER and the SLAVE unit. The list below gives an overview. MASTER •...

Check the obstruction settings (in both open and close modes). Check for wear on all moving parts, and tighten bolts as necessary. Check the gear box for any sign of oil leakage. If the gearbox is leaking, call the GTO Service Department for assistance. DO NOT ADD OIL! Check hinges on the gate and lubricate if needed.
Install fresh batteries in the transmitter. If problem persists, the receiver may be damaged. Call the GTO Service Department. C. Disconnect the accessories from the control board and jumper the CYCLE terminal. If the unit operates;...
