  • Page 2: Safety Instructions

    NOTE: GTO Automatic Gate Operators are intended to be part of a total gate operating system. It is the responsibility of the purchaser, designer and installer to insure that the total system is safe for its intended use. The manufacturer is not responsible for accidents arising from unsafe installations or improper use.
  • Page 3 SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE INSTALLER I. Before Installation 1. Check to ensure that this gate operator is proper for the type and size of gate and its frequency of use (see page 6). Make sure that the gate has been properly installed and swings freely while opening and closing. Repair or service any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation of operator.
  • Page 4 If you feel you haven’t received full and proper instructions, contact your installer. It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted GTO's caution signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or caution decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your installer or GTO for replacement.

  • Page 5: Caution Signs And Labels

    IMPORTANT!! Caution Signs and Labels The following caution signs and labels are included with this gate operator. If any are missing, contact GTO at 1-800- 543-4283 immediately and we will send replacement signs and/or labels. ® CAUTION AUTOMATIC GATE STAND CLEAR 1-800-543-GATE Caution signs (2) to be placed on both sides of gate to warn pedestrians.

    Connecting Operator to Post Bracket Assembly Step 7: Tap the rear mount onto the back of the operator. Align the " hole in the rear mount with " hole in the back of the operator and insert the " bolt through the holes and secure it with the lock nut.

  • Page 13: Installing The Gate Bracket

    Step 10: Open the gate to the desired position (at least 10º and no greater than 110º). Position the operator arm so that the gate bracket just rests against the gate. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket.

  • Page 14: Installing The Open And Closed Position Stops

    Stability in both the open and closed positions contributes to the long life of the operator and to the durability of the installation. For additional stability and security, install the GTO Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog on page 37).

  • Page 15: Installing The Control Box

    Step 15: Hinge point Close the gate. Position the closed position stop plate on the end of the gate frame at mid-height. Extend the stop plate to make contact with the fence post at that position. Closed Position Install the closed position stop plate using appropriate Stop Plate hardware for the type of gate (u-bolts for tube or chain link gate, wood or lag screws for wood gates, etc.).

    5) The MNC for the GTO/PRO 2000 is roughly comparable to most AC powered operators, and the transformer provided with this operator should handle most high traffic situations. If the battery does not seem to be able to provide the constant charge required for your application, the addition of a deep cycle marine battery should provide ample power to handle any situation.

  • Page 18: Solar Zones And Gate Activity

    Important Information About Low Voltage Wire The only wire recommended for use with GTO products is GTO’s 16 gauge, multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC sheathed wire. This particular gauge will enable the transformer to provide an adequate charge to the control board from as far away as 1000 ft.
  • Page 19 Step 24: Strip 1/4" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist each wire end tightly. Attach these ends to the control board at the terminal strip marked "TRANSFORMER". Do not let the wire ends touch each other! Insert the RED wire into the RED TRANSFORMER terminal block and the BLACK wire to the BLACK TRANSFORMER terminal block.

  • Page 20: Programming The System

    Programming the System Step 27: Please read these instructions completely before attempting to program the gate operator.

  • Page 23: Setting The Personal Transmitter Code

    Step 28: All GTO transmitters are set to the same code at the factory, and are ready to activate the GTO/PRO operator. For safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that you change the factory setting to the end user’s own personal code, according to the following directions: 1.

  • Page 24: Setting The Limit Switches

    For Pull-to-Open Installations: The open position of the gate was determined when you installed the GTO/PRO 2000 on the open gate (page 13, Step 12). The outer switch cam is used to adjust the closed position of the gate. The ideal closed position is when the closed position stop plate makes contact with the fence post just as the operator motor shuts down.

  • Page 25: Mounting The Receiver

    Step 31: Secure all bolts, nuts, and washers on the post bracket and gate bracket assemblies. Cut off the ends of the bolts extend- ing beyond the tightened nuts. Step 32: Install Caution Signs on both sides of the gate using tywraps (provided) or screws. Mounting the Receiver Step 33: Consider the following points when deciding where to place the receiver:...
