IMP ORTANT S AFETY INS TRUCTIONS  
Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have an  
obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems.  
Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in  
unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety.  
This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer, and consumer. Because  
there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot  
be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this  
product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLA-  
TION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS  
PRODUCT.  
The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this  
warning symbol. The symbol identifies condi-  
tions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death.  
Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the  
designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

IMP ORTANT S AFETY INS TRUCTIONS  
FOR THE S YS TEM DES IGNER  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:  
1.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
2.  
This operator is intended for use only on vehicular gates. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate walk-through  
gate (see Entrapment Protection illustration on page 6).  
3.  
4.  
When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed  
far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion.  
The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when  
opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.  
FOR THE INS TALLER  
WARNING–To reduce the risk of injury or death:  
I. Before Installation  
1.  
2.  
3.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, and its frequency of use.  
Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or  
damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will  
enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system.  
4.  
5.  
Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to manually open  
and close the gate by disconnecting the operator (see page 1).  
This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedes-  
trian use (see page 6). NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.  
II. During Installation  
1.  
Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an operator on the outside of  
the gate where the public has access to it. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.  
2.  
3.  
Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.  
Installation of additional safety equipment such as safety edges (or photoelectric sensors) is suggested for  
augmented protection against entrapment (see page 6).  
4.  
Determine the best obstruction sensing setting for this installation. The gate MUST stop and reverse on contact with  
an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel,  
retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury  
or death.  
5.  
6.  
Mount access controls away from the gate (minimum distance is 10 feet). The user must have full view of the gate  
but be unable to touch it while operating the controls.  
Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

III. After Installation  
1.  
Review ALL safety instructions with the consumer/end user. Explain the basic operation and safety systems of the  
entire gate operator system, including disconnecting the operator for manual operation of the gate.  
2.  
Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert public of automatic gate operation. Take a  
photo of warning signs installed on gate. Record the date of the photo for your reference.  
3.

S e c o n d a ry Me a n s o f P ro t e c t io n Ag a in s t En t ra p m e n t  
As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have provisions for, or be  
supplied with, at least one independent primary and one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. GTO  
gate operators utilize Type A, an inherent entrapment sensing system, as the primary type of entrapment protection. The  
GTO/PRO 2000 series gate operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1 and B2 protection to be used as a  
secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.  
1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]):  
A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.  
B. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate  
is still moving.  
C. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the  
perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.  
2. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]):  
A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post mounted both inside and  
outside of a vehicular swing gate system.  
B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor  
and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage.  
C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment  
protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building  
structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended  
end-use conditions.  
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)  
The GTO/PRO 2000 series gate operators are designed to stop and reverse for 2 seconds when the gate comes in  
contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. Additionally, these operators are  
equipped with an audio entrapment alarm which will function if the unit obstructs twice while opening or closing.  
This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until the operator receives an intended signal (e.g., a transmitter  
signal) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:  
1.  
2.  
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.  
Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS with all persons authorized to use  
your gate.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.  
NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.  
Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate, a walk-through gate  
must be installed for this purpose (see page 6).  
Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the  
remote controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users  
do not have access to them.  
6.  
If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located far enough from it  
(at least 10 feet) so the gate cannot be touched while it is in operation. Do not operate any control without watching  
the movement of the gate.  
7.  
8.  
Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,  
pets, or other obstructions.  
It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of  
these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your  
installer or GTO for replacements.  
9.  
10.  
11.  
If electric safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors) have been installed (see page 6) they should be tested  
monthly for proper function.  
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone  
spray to it at least once per month.  
Have your gate operator tested monthly and serviced regularly by an experienced technician. The gate MUST stop  
and reverse on contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. If these functions are  
observed to operate improperly, discontinue use and have operator serviced immediately.  
12.  
13.  
14.  
To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on disconnecting the operator for manual  
gate operation (see page 1). If you feel you have not received full and proper instructions, contact your installer.  
Disconnect the operator ONLY when the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Entrapment Protection  
GTO’s internal obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in  
some circumstances. For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and  
reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for augmented protection against entrapment in certain  
applications.

OTHER MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED BEFORE YOU START THE INSTALLATION:  
Depending on the type of gate and fence post, you may need some additional materials/hardware.  
Some of these items can be found in the GTO/PRO Accessory Catalog.  
•
•
All gates will need a stop post in the open position. This post is not provided. See page 16,  
Installation of Open and Closed Position Stops for more information.  
Low voltage wire may be needed. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer  
power supply and the control box. See page 19, Powering the System and the Accessory Catalog  
for wire and solar charging panels.  
•
•
If the gate is more than 1000' away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one GTO  
Solar Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.  
The diameter of the fence post should be at least 8" (round) or 6" (square) in order to mount the  
post bracket (seepage 12). An optional 4” bracket can be used with 4” post, and mounting bracket  
adapters must be used with 4" and 6" round posts. (See Accessory Catalog).  
•
Depending upon the diameter of the fence post, you may need longer carriage bolts than those  
provided. Bolts should be at least 1" longer than the diameter of the fence post (see page 12).  
•
•
If using thin wall tube or panel gates, see page 14 for recommended reinforcement materials.  
A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to  
the gate. See page 11.

The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground with  
concrete so it will not twist or flex when the operator is  
powered. It is important to position the operator near the  
midline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and  
flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross  
member may be necessary (if one is not already in place)  
to provide a stable area to which the gate bracket can be  
secured.  
Vertical Cros s Member  
For the operator to perform properly, Steps 1 & 2 must  
be complete before you go any further with the installa-  
tion.

The position of the post bracket determines the leverage of  
the operator and the clearance between the operator and the  
gate.  
8” Wood Post  
6” Wood or Metal Post  
The post bracket is designed to work on a flat fence post.  
Fence posts must be at least 6” square in order to mount  
the post bracket.  
NOTE: The best method of attaching the post bracket to  
metal post is welding. Round wood posts (no smaller than  
8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for  
attaching the post bracket.  
If bolts are used to mount the post bracket, the bolts must  
completely penetrate the fence post. If your fence post is  
wider than 8", it will be necessary to use carriage bolts  
longer than those supplied. On wood posts use a metal  
plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent  
the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the  
wood.

require you to drill a few additional holes in the standard  
post bracket depending on your application.

Close the gate and place your level against  
the horizontal cross member. The top of the

Gate Length  
NOTE:An operation cycle is one full opening and closing of the gate. The numbers shown in  
this chart are for single gate applications, cycles for dual gate applications will be  
about half of those with a single gate.  
Predicting the exact maximum number of operational cycles at peak load is more of an art form than an exact science. The  
above chart illustrates the average maximum number of cycles possible (the “MNC”) in a 24 hour period with a single gate  
that is installed so that the motor moves the gate drawing 5 Amperes of current (typical installation on ball bearing hinges).  
Please keep the following variables in mind:  
1) 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 the GTO Big Battery Kit (see Accessories on page 44) should provide  
ample power to handle any situation. For more information, call the GTO Service Department.  
2) If the gate is binding, dragging in high winds, or if ball bearing hinges are not used, it will require more than 5 A to move  
it; this will reduce the MNC. Gates weighing less than 1000 lb. may have a higher MNC.  
3) The above data is based on a line voltage of 120 Volts from an electrical outlet; if the outlet provides less than 120 Volts  
(for example, some rural areas may only provide 108 Volts), it can significantly reduce the MNC (as much as 50%).  
4) A fully charged battery has a reserve of 50-100 cycles without requiring a charge. This allows peak loads at several  
points during the day, depending upon how much time the transformer has to provide a charge to the battery between  
cycles. The transformer is capable of fully recharging the battery in as little as five minutes at optimum conditions.  
5) The above chart is based upon an ambient temperature of 40 ºF. Battery performance and speed at which it will recharge  
will fluctuate based upon temperature.

Important Information About Low voltage Wire  
The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge (minimum) multi-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 multi-stranded wire, these types of wire are inadequate for  
use with your gate opener system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate  
operator to function and will cause the system to go into a condition known as "low voltage lockout."  
Never splice wires together. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an  
adequate current.  
S t e p 2 2 :  
Install low voltage wire (see Accessory Catalog) to connect the control  
box to the transformer. This wire should be buried in a trench. Wires  
coming from the ground to the control box should be run through PVC  
conduit to protect them from lawn mowers, weed eaters and grazing  
animals. Do not use telephone wire or any solid core wire. Never  
splice wires together!

CONTROL BOARD S ETTINGS  
DIP Switches  
The four DIP switches on the control board match the operator with the type of gate on which it is  
installed. For example, gates may pull-to-open or push-to-open. Prior to packaging, the GTO/PRO  
2000 series control board was configured for single swing gates that pull-to-open (open into the prop-  
erty). If your gate type matches this configuration, you DO NOT need to adjust the DIP switches;  
Proceed to the Potentiometers section on the next page.

Potentiometers  
The three (3) potentiometers on the control board operate like a volume control on a radio. They control  
the auto close timer, inertia, and obstruction sensitivity of the operator. Use a small slotted screwdriver  
to turn the arrow in the center of the potentiometer. Clockwise rotation increases the setting (MAX).  
Counterclockwise rotation decreases the setting (MIN).  
AUTO CLOSE (auto close timer): Determines how long the gate  
will remain open before it automatically closes. The limits are  
AUTOCLOSE  
60  
OFF to 120 seconds. The factory setting is OFF.  
INERTIA: Fine tunes obstruction sensitivity in the opening and  
OFF  
120  
closing modes. INERTIA allows the opener to attempt to push an  
obstruction clear of the gate path. When INERTIA is set to MIN  
the opener will obstruct quickly (i.e., will attempt to push an  
obstruction briefly); when set to MAX, the opener will obstruct  
slowly (i.e., will push against an obstruction for a longer period).  
The factory setting is MIN.

READ WARNING BELOW!  
NOTE: Heavy gates and gates with high wind resistance may  
require the OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer to be set closer to  
MAX to prevent the operator from obstructing. Keep in mind,  
however, that while you must determine the best setting for smooth  
gate operation, you must ALSO determine the lowest possible  
setting for safe gate operation.  
ALWAYS KEEP SAFETYAT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR  
SERVICING YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR!  
WARNING!  
All three potentiometers were set to minimum at the factory. The OBSTRUCT SENS.  
potentiometer MUST be adjusted above the factory setting for your GTO/PRO 2000 series  
operator to function properly. If the potentiometer is left at MIN, your gate operator may  
"obstruct" (i.e., stop and reverse) as soon as it is activated.  
BE SURE TO PROPERLY RETEST THE GATE OPERATOR AFTER MAKING ANY  
ADJUSTMENTS; FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR

your safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that you replace the factory setting with your own personal code.  
Follow the directions below:  
1. Remove the Trans mitter Cover  
Grasp the sides of the access cover and slide it away from the transmitter  
button (see illustration). When the access cover is removed, the battery and  
the DIP switches will be exposed. To set a new code, use a small screwdriver  
to move the switches.  
2. Set the trans mitter DIP Switches  
There are nine (9) transmitter DIP switches; each of which can be placed in three different  
positions (+, 0, –). DO NOT set all the switches in the same position, such as all +, all 0, or  
all –. Once the DIP switches have been set to a personal code, replace and close the access  
cover.  
WARNING: No other adjustments should be made inside the transmitter.

Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it.  
Consider the following when mounting the receiver:  
• Receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special  
order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable!  
• Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.  
• DO NOT run cable through metal conduit because the receiver signal range will be  
decreased.  
ꢀ
• DO NOT run cable in conduit containing ac wiring.  
• DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range.  
• DO NOT overtighten the mounting screws; the receiver housing could be warped and  
the weather seal damaged.  
• The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography,  
and external interference.

The GTO/PRO 2000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. These operators are designed to stop  
and reverse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, even when  
properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. To augment protection  
against entrapment, GTO suggests using safety edge sensors or photoelectric sensors. When installed, safety edges (or  
photoelectric sensors) must be mounted in compliance with Underwriters Laboratories’ safety standard for gate operators,  
UL 325. Review page 4 for information about mounting requirements for safety edges ("contact sensors") and photoelectric  
sensors ("non-contact sensors").  
Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions for information about installing these devices on a vehicular gate.  
Make sure the control box power switch is OFF before connecting safety device wiring to the terminal blocks.  
Insert the safety device wires into the CLS EDG terminal (located on the FIRST OPERATOR terminal block) for the gate  
closing mode. Ground the safety device at the GRN terminal. Connect the safety device wires for the gate opening mode to  
the OPN EDG terminal in the same manner.  
If you are installing a dual gate system, connect the safety devices wires to the CLS EDG and OPN EDG terminals on the  
SECOND OPERATOR terminal block as described above.  
MAKE SURE TO GROUND THE SAFETY DEVICES AT THE GRN TERMINAL! THE CONTROL BOARD  
COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT GROUNDED!

Determining The Mounting Pos ition of The Pos t Bracket As s embly  
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas! Review IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property. The operator is installed on this type of gate while in the closed (not  
open) position. Because every gate installation varies, the push-to-open installation of the GTO/PRO 2000 and GTO/PRO  
2200 will need to be customized. In most cases this only requires drilling two new holes in the post bracket.  
S t e p P TO-1 :  
The operator and brackets are installed on the gate post in the same way as pull-to-open installations. The post bracket is  
mounted at the inside edge of the post. The post pivot brackets are attached with one bolt at the pivot point and the  
operator(s) is attached at the rear mount. See pages 11-14, Steps 1-9 for details.  
Open Position  
S t e p P TO-2 :  
Find a position for the post pivot brackets where the operator has clearance in both the  
open and closed positions and clamp operator into position (see examples of clearance on  
1
page 15; step 10). Mark the point on the post pivot bracket where the / " holes will need

S t e p P TO-3 :  
With the gate in the closed position, connect operator to gate bracket assembly as in Step 12 on page 15 and clamp into  
position. Mark the point where the gate bracket will be attached to the gate. Drill the holes and mount the gate bracket.  
Reattach gate bracket to arm with clevis pin and hairpin clip.  
S t e p P TO-4 :  
Now go back and follow the instructions for the rest of the installation from Installing the Open and Closed Position Stops  
(see step 13-15).  
S t e p P TO-5 :  
After you have installed the positive stops, the control board must be adjusted to accommodate the push-to-open gate.  
Make sure the control box is OFF. Use a small screwdriver to move the PULL / PUSH DIP switch to PUSH. Replace  
control box cover. Turn Power switch ON. The control board is now configured to push the gate open.

Maintenance:  
• On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely grease the ball bearing hinges at least 4 times a year; more  
frequently if the gates are near a coastal area.  
• A few mothballs in the control box helps to keep out insects which can damage circuits.  
• Apply silicone spray to the push-pull tube at least once per month.  
• Test all the safety devices once per month! If they are not working, contact your installer or The GTO Service  
Department  
Gate force adjustments regulate the amount of force the operator uses to move the gate. If the hinges are in good working  
condition, try setting the OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer between MIN and MAX. In an area with high winds,  
the OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer will need to be set closer to MAX.  
The operator has a 12 Vdc motor with mechanical limit switches.  
To test the motor, put a voltmeter on dc and place the meter leads on the wire connections inside the plastic cover above the  
switches. The reading should be at least 11.5 V when the system is active. If it is not, see The control board  
section below.  
To test the switches, put the meter on Ω (ohms). Place the leads on each of the wires on the switch. You should have an  
open circuit. Click the switch and you should have 0.2 . Do this for both switches.  
To test the power cable, put the meter on Ω (ohms). At one end of the cable, place the lead on the green wire. At the other  
end, place the lead on the green wire and the other wires. The test should yield a maximum of 1.0 Ω on the green  
wire, and 0 Ω on the other wires. Test each wire as you have above. If all wires have the proper readings, then the  
power cable is not the problem.  
NOTE: Inspect the cable for any signs of any punctures. Wires inside the black sheath can be shorted and the cable will  
indicate the correct resistance (ohms).  
The control board: This is a microprocessor board. The power that runs the gate operator originates from the battery, which  
is recharged through the board by a 18 Vac (40 VA; 2.9 A) transformer.  
There is one (1) green and one (1) red LED (light emitting diode) on the control board. They are for a quick  
reference only. All readings must be measured with a voltmeter!  
The red LED serves two purposes. The first is to indicate that the transmitter code is stored (or being stored–see  
Setting the Personal Transmitter code, page 24). The second is to show the condition of the battery. If it is  
flashing, see the following section on Testing the battery. During normal operation the RED LED is ON.  
If the red LED is flashing it indicates the system may have reached low voltage lockout, which means that the unit  
does not have enough voltage to operate the system. One of the following problems may exist:  
• Incorrect type of wire is connected, or the wrong gauge wire is being used for the distance to the battery  
and the number of cycles that you desired. See chart on page 19  
• Wires from the transformer or solar panel to the control board are broken or spliced.  
• A transformer or solar panel has no output voltage.  
• Incorrect number of solar panels, or solar panels connected improperly.  
The green LED gives a visual indication that the control board is receiving power from the transformer.  
33  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The transformer: Two things can cause failure. The first is shorting the leads during the installation, or letting the strands  
touch at the terminal on the control board. The second is a static charge (generally associated with a lightning storm  
or power outage); use of a surge protector will help protect the transformer against static charges.  
Testing the battery: This is a 12 V, 7 Ah battery. The proper way to test the battery is to perform a load test. Place the  
voltmeter on dc; put the red probe on the (+) positive terminal and place the black probe on (–) negative terminal.  
Activate the unit and monitor the voltmeter. The voltage drop should not be more than 1.0 V.  
Note: A loose battery terminal will cause the same symptoms that a bad battery will cause. Terminals should be  
secure and corrosion free.  
Remote control range: Varies with each installation. (see FCC disclaimer on page 25), the range of this device can vary  
from 50 to 100 feet, depending upon weather, topography and outside interference.  
Make sure that the receiver is located above metal fences.  
Moving the receiver even a few inches can change the range of operation.  
Move the receiver as far from the motor as possible to avoid the chance of electrical interference.  
Check or change the battery in the transmitter.
