IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE
The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge 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.
DO NOT
use telephone wire or solid core wire. Unlike stranded wire, these types of wire are not
appropiate for use with your gate opener system.
AVOID
splicing wires together. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to
carry an adequate current.
Step 3
Lay the measured length of low voltage wire in a trench
following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the
control box. Wires coming up from the ground should
be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn
mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Be sure
to bury the wire laid in the trench.
Step 4
Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain
relief opening on the lower left of the control box. Pull
6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the strain
relief screw to secure the wires.
WARNING! DO NOT PLUG THE TRANSFORMER
INTO AN OUTLET DURING THIS STEP! THE
TRANSFORMER MUST ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO
AN OUTLET DURING STEP 7!
Step 5
3
Strip / " off the ends of the low voltage wire
16
and twist tightly. Attach these ends to the 18VAC
terminals located on the POWER IN terminal block
(see illustration at right). Be certain not to let the
exposed wires touch each other!
Insert one transformer wire into an 18VAC terminal.
Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining
18VAC terminal. The transformer wires can be
connected to the 18VAC terminals regardless of
polarity or color.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires.
