Powering the System

Installation of the Transformer
IMPORTANT:
• The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into
an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover or housing (available at local electrical supply stores)
must be used.
• All low voltage wire used with the GTO
stranded, direct burial wire (see page 22 and the accessory pages). Do not run more than 1000 feet of
wire.
• If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an ac power source, you will need to use at least one 10 watt
Solar Panel to charge the battery (see the accessory pages). Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate
Activity chart below.
OPTIONAL Solar Panels and Gate Activity
The table and map illustrate
the maximum number of
gate cycles to expect per day
in a particular area when
using from 10 to 30 watts of
solar charging power. (see
Accessory Catalog). The
figures shown are for winter
(minimum sunlight) and do not account for
the use of any accessory items. Accessories
connected to your system will draw additional
power from the battery.
NOTE: A maximum of 30 watts of solar
charging power can be connected to
the GTO® Gate Opener. Consult Solar
Panel Installation Instructions for further
information.

Step 1
Make sure the power switch is OFF before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2
Select the electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer.
Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the
