  • Page 4: Safety Instructions For The Gto/Pro-Sl-5100 And Gto/Pro Sl-6100 Slide Gate Operators

    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.

  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions For The Installer

    Review the operation of the system and become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disengage and re-engage the operator with the foot pedal release (see GTO 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 5).

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

    GTO gate operators utilize Type A, an inherent entrapment sensing system, as the primary type of entrapment protection. The GTO/PRO SL-5100 and GTO/PRO SL-6100 operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1, B2, or D protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection.

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

    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.

  • Page 8: Required Safety Precautions For Gates

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Chain adjuster bolts: adjust outside nut until desired chain tension is achieved. Tighten inside nut to secure bolt (see illustration below). Release foot pedal to re-engage chain sprocket. Chain Bracket Chain Bracket and Adjustment Bolt Connecting Power to the Operator Have a licensed electrician run 115 Vac wiring into a Field Wiring Connection Compartment (ON/OFF) box.

  • Page 16: Adjusting The Limit Switches

    ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and close. The closer the limit nut is to the limit switch, the less distance the gate will travel to open or close. Adjust the limit switches by moving the limit nuts. MAKE SURE THE OPERATOR POWER IS OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES.

  • Page 20 The battery terminals provide the GTO/PRO SL-5100 and GTO/PRO SL-6100 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. No adjustments or other connections to the batteries or terminals are necessary.

  • Page 21: Advanced Control Board Features

    SOFT START / SOFT STOP The GTO/PRO SL-5100 and GTO/PRO SL-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 SL-5100 & GTO/ PRO SL-6100 series operators. For safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that the factory setting be replaced with a personal code.

  • Page 23: Reinstalling The Operator Housing

    REINSTALLING THE OPERATOR HOUSING Check to make sure the roller guards, fence screen, safety edges (or photoelectric beams), warning signs, and pedestrian gate (if necessary) are installed (see pages 5-6) before fastening the housing to the operator. Also, verify that the chain is properly aligned and not kinked or binding along its path of travel. The control box should be closed and fastened with (3) screws.
