Thank you for purchasing a GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS 4000XLS/4200XLS. When correctly installed and properly used, your 4000XLS/4200XLS operators 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 4000XLS/4200XLS Automatic Gate Operators. -
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 installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use. - Page 6 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, etc. Zone 5 – pinch points between the operator and gate.

- Page 7 If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact GTO for free replacements. 2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary.

Page 8: Required Safety Precautions For Gates
7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the GTO Service Department. -
Page 9: Secondary Means Of Protection Against Entrapment
A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact” means of entrapment protection. - Page 10 (3–5 feet above the bottom of the gate). label (1) installed on control box.

Page 23: Mount The Control Box And Receiver
• DO NOT mount receiver directly to metal fence or metal post (this will decrease signal range). Use a piece of wood between receiver and metal surface. The receiver cable: • Cable length is 10 ft. (receivers with longer cables are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). • NEVER splice receiver cable! • Run the receiver cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage. • DO NOT run cable in conduit containing AC wiring. -
