    3000XL Operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your GTO/PRO® 3000XL Automatic Gate Operator.

  • 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® 3000XL utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 3000XL 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

    (recommended, not included) 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. Mounting the operator on a masonry column requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 36 if you intend to mount the operator on a column.

  • 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.

  • Page 18 for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the operator 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 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 operator and brackets from the fence and gate.

    Connecting Opener Power Cable Step 1 Make sure the control box power switch is in the OFF position. The ON/OFF Switch is located on the bottom of the control box. Remove the control box cover and slide the battery into position with its terminals to the RIGHT (see illustration).

  • Page 23: Powering The System

    • All low voltage wire used with the GTO PRO® Gate Opener must be 16 gauge dual conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 20 and the Accessory Catalog). Do not run more than 1000 feet of wire.
  • Page 24 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC sheathed wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft.
  • Page 25 Step 7 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. (Use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly recommended.) NOTE: This is a class II indoor transformer. IMPORTANT: If using transformer outdoors be sure to enclose it in a weatherproof case. HINT: Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board.
