    Thank you for purchasing the GTO/PRO® 3000/3200 gate operator system. When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO® 3000/3200 Operators will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your GTO/PRO®...

  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions

    Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

  • Page 6: Important Safety Instructions For The Consumer

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS For The Consumer WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. 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 7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and the fence post. Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post. Zone 3 – the path of the gate. Zone 4 –...
  • Page 8 If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

  • Page 9: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment

    The GTO/PRO® 3000/3200 utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 3000/3200 has provisions for the connection of Type B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.

  • Page 10: Required Safety Precautions For Gates

    Entrapment Protection GTO’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment.

    See page 22, Powering the System and the Accessory Catalog for wire and solar charging panels. • If the gate is more than 1000' away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one GTO Solar Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.

  • Page 15: Technical Specifications

    • The system is powered by a 12 Vdc, 7.0 Ah, sealed, rechargeable acid battery. • Battery charge is maintained by a 120 Vac, 18 Vac output transformer rectified to 14.5 Vdc (40 VA) through the GTO control board. Blade-style control board fuse is rated for 25 A.

  • Page 16: Installation Overview

    Installation Overview Pull-to-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and dual gates. Mounting the operators on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 39 if you intend to mount the operators on columns.

  • Page 17: Installation Of The Mounting Hardware

    Installation of Mounting Hardware The position of the post bracket determines the leverage and efficiency of the operator. The post bracket position also sets the clearance between the operator and gate in the open and closed positions (minimum 2 inches). The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts.

  • Page 19 IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the diagrams below.
  • Page 20 Installing the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Step 7 Mark reference points for bolt holes on the fence post through middle of bracket slots. Marking reference points in this manner allows room for adjustment when mounting the post bracket assembly and gate bracket. After marking your reference points, remove the operator and brackets from the fence and gate.

    Mounting the First Operator Step 11 Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the operator is level and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary.

  • Page 22: Installation Of The Closed Position Stops

    The optional ground stop post is used to provide a secure point for the SLAVE gate to close against. If you will be using the GTO/PRO Horizontal Gate Lock accessory with your gate operator system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.

    Connecting Operator Power Cables MASTER Operator Step 4 Insert the stripped power cable wires into the appropriate terminals on the MASTER OPERATOR terminal block. The green wire should be inserted into the GRN terminal, the blue wire into BLU, the orange wire into ORG, black wire into BLK, and the red wire into the RED terminal.

    (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used. • All low voltage wire used with the GTO/PRO® 300/3200 Gate Operator must be 16 gauge dual ® conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 23 and the Accessory Catalog). Do not run more than 1000 feet of wire.

  • Page 27: Connecting The Transformer

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC sheathed wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft.
  • Page 28 Step 6 Strip " of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer terminals. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other! Transformer Step 7 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet.

  • Page 43: Column Installation Information

    Column Installation Information F THIS OPERATOR WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON MASONRY, BRICK, OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS: The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration (requires Push-To-Open Bracket, see Accessory Catalog). The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column.
