    Because gto automatic gate operators are only part of the 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.

Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, and its frequency of use. Make sure that the gate has been properly installed and slides freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.

  • Page 6: Important Safety Instructions Specific To Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment

    An automatic closing device (timer, loop sensor, etc.) shall not be employed. D. No other activation device shall be connected. The GP-SL100 operators are designed to stop and reverse for 2 seconds when the gate comes in contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will function if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing.

  • Page 7: Important Safety Instructions For The Consumer/End User

    If your gate has open rollers, be sure that roller guards have been installed to prevent hands and fingers from being caught in the rollers (see page 5). It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your installer or GTO for replacements. 10. Verify that electric safety edge sensors or photoelectric sensors have been installed (see page 5). These safety devices should be tested monthly. 11. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a qualified service person make repairs to the gate hardware.

Entrapment Protection GTO’s internal obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edges and photo beams MUST be installed. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate.

    Installing the Gate Operator this unit must only be installed by an experienced technician. preparation of the gate Before installing the GTO/PRO slide gate operator, make sure: • the gate is properly installed. • the gate is plumb, level, and moves freely. • the gate does not bind or drag on the ground. • the gate is screened if necessary (see page 5.) • roller guards are installed (see page 5.) overview of a single gate operator installation The diagram below is an example of a single slide gate installation with required safety features.

  • Page 13: 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.
