For Installation on Other Brand Gate Openers ...
If you are using the
VEHICLE SENSOR
tion below for wiring the system. If you do not understand the instructions below, please call GTO's
Technical Support at 1-800-543-1236.
Typical Gate Wiring Connection:
• Reference Leads:
o RED => Input Voltage (+)
o SHIELD => Ground/Common (–)
o BLACK => Relay's Common
o BLUE => Relay's Normally Open
o YELLOW => Remote SENSOR [Range adjustment potentiometer (POT)]
• Terminology Definitions:
o 'FREE EXIT/ENTRY' is defined as input terminals (2) that upon activation (momentarily connected together) will
cause the gate to run in the open direction only. Note: In most gate openers, one of the two terminals is the 'COM-
MON/GND'.
• Power supply connection:
o DC power supply: (11-36 Vdc)
ß Connect the positive (+) lead of the power supply to the RED wire.
ß Connect the negative (-) lead of the power supply to the SHIELD wire.
o AC power supply: (8-26 Vac)
ß Connect the power supply to the RED & SHIELD wires. There is no polarity for AC power supply.
• Relay output connection:
o Connect the BLUE wire from the SENSOR to the 'FREE EXIT/ENTRY' of the gate opener.
o Connect the BLACK wire from the SENSOR to the 'COMMON/GND' of the gate opener.
• Range (POT) board connection:
o Connect the YELLOW wire from the SENSOR to the YELLOW wire from the Range Adjustment Board.
o Connect the BLACK wire from the Range Adjustment Board to a negative input voltage.
o Turn the POT clockwise to increase range.
o Turn the POT counter-clockwise to decrease range.
