    GTO/PRO® 2002XL Automatic Gate Operator. The GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open into the property). By purchasing an accessory bracket, the GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator can accommodate a push-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open out from the property).

  • Page 5: Important Safety Instructions

    Because GTO automatic gate openers 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 7 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: Zone  – area between two gates. Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post. Zone 3 – the path of the gate. Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, tree, etc. Zone 5 –...
  • 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® 2002XL utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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

    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 dual gates. Furthermore, if you have push-to-open gates, you will need to purchase two (2) push-to-open brackets (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 opener. The post bracket position also sets the clearance between the opener and gate in the open and closed positions (minimum 2 inches). The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts.

  • Page 18 for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the opener the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.
  • Page 19 Installing the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket Step 7 Mark reference points for bolt holes on the fence post through middle of bracket slots. Marking reference points in this manner allows room for adjustment when mounting the post bracket assembly and gate bracket. After marking your reference points, remove the opener and brackets from the fence and gate.
  • Page 20 Mounting the Master Arm Step 11 Attach the opener to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the opener is level and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary.

  • Page 21: Installation Of The Closed Position Stops

    The optional ground stop post is used to provide a secure point for the SLAVE gate to close against. If you will be using the GTO/PRO Horizontal Gate Lock accessory with your gate opener system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.
  • Page 22 Step 2 Install a low profile ground stop (not provided) beneath the SLAVE gate stop plate. The ground stop needs to be positioned near the end of the gate as shown in Illustration A and may be made of metal or concrete and should be firmly secured in the ground (we recommend setting it in concrete).
