  • 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 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® 2000XL utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 2000XL 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

    Pedestrian Gate 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.

    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 single gate. Furthermore, if you have a push-to-open gate, you will need to purchase a push-to-open bracket (see Accessory Catalog) to properly configure your system.

  • Page 16: 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 for safety reasons). The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts.
