Thank You ...
for purchasing the hands free VEHICLE SENSOR. This product requires no maintenance and will give you
years of enjoyment by providing hands free operation of your gate. GTO, Inc., has been designing and manufac-
turing reliable, high quality products since 1987. Our corporate headquarters and state of the art manufacturing

mule.com or call our toll free line 800-543-1236 for technical support.
The VEHICLE SENSOR you have purchased is designed with some of the most advanced technology available.
In layman's terms, the sensor detects a change in the earths magnetic field caused by a mass of metal in motion
and automatically opens your gate. The range adjustment potentiometer (POT) that connects to the control box
provides you with the ability to increase or decrease the sensor's sensitivity range.
If a metal object is placed directly above the sensor (with little motion) it may cause the sensor to activate, thus
opening your gate. For this reason we do not recommend the VEHICLE SENSOR in environments exposed to
children.
Prior to installing your Sensor please read the manual thoroughly. There are important safety recommendations
of which you should be aware. This product, and any accessory you purchase, should only be installed on a gate
opener that meets the current safety standard (UL325). If you have a gate opener that is not listed with the current
standards, please contact the GTO sales department at 800-543-4283 or 850-575-0176 for consultation on a gate
opener that can meet your specific needs.
