Please Read This First - Gates that Open Silver-HD Single Installation Manual

Please Read This First!

Thank you for purchasing a GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS gate opener. When correctly installed and properly used,
your gate 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
Automatic Gate Operator.
The gate operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate. By purchasing an accessory
bracket [347IH], the gate operator can accommodate a push-to-open gate (gate that open out from the property).
The gate must not exceed 18 feet in length nor weigh more than 850 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications
on page 1). The gate operator can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use
on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is
strong enough, the operator will obstruct, stop, and blow fuses.
The gate operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate
locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories are sshown in the back of this manual.
The gate operator features adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction
within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The "MIN" setting means the gate will exert
the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
The gate operator also has an adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds
before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to
close immediately. "OFF" is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter
button (or keypad, etc.) again.
