User manual GTO PRO-SW 2500

[. . . ] Installation Manual for the Automatic Gate Operator This equipment is similar to other gate or door equipment and meets or exceeds Underwriters Laboratory Standard 325 (UL 325). However, gate equipment has hazards associated with its use and therefore by installing this product the installer and user accept full responsibility for following and noting the installation and safety instructions. Failure to follow installation and safety instructions can result in hazards developing due to improper assembly. You agree to properly install this product and that if you fail to do so GTO, Inc. [. . . ] 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/PRO Gate Opener. Consult Solar Panel Installation Instructions for further information.

ON/OFF Switch Select the electrical outlet iwhere you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid. After you have measured how much wire is needed, cut the wire to the appropriate length. 19 The only wire acceptable for use with GTO/PRO products is 16 gauge 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. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE 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 opener 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. 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!THE TRANSFORMER MUST ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET DURING STEP 7! Low Voltage Wire from Transformer Power Cable from Opener Arm PVC Pipe RED BLACK ~~ 18VAC Step 5 ­ + NC RLY-COM NO SOLAR RELAY OUT Strip 3/16" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach these ends to the 18VAC terminals located on the POWER IN terminal block (see illustration at right). The transformer wires can be connected to the 18VAC terminals regardless of color. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. Low Voltage Wire from AC Transformer GRN WHT BLUE BRN ORG RED BLK SLAVE INPUTS MASTER INPUTS SWITCH GRN WHT BLUE BRN ORG RED BLK Power Cable from First Operator 20 Step 6 Strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other! Step 7 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. (Use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly recommended. ) HINT: Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board. 21 SURGE PROTECTOR Transformer CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS DIP Switches Main DIP Switch Settings (MODES) DIP Switch #1 - Soft Start/Stop The Soft Start/Stop feature slowly starts the gate as it begins to open and slows the gate as it comes to the closed position. DIP Switch #2 - Warning Buzzer The Warning Buzzer alerts you when the gate opener is beginning to either open or close the gate. It also sounds a warning when the gate obstructs two times in one cycle. [. . . ] Helps prevent theft of the operator from the gate, while allowing quick release of the operator. Key Chain Mini Transmitter (RB744) The Key Chain Mini Transmitter is a miniature version of the GTO/PRO® entry transmitter and has the same adjustable code settings. Entry Transmitter (RB741) The GTO/PRO® entry transmitter, with adjustable code settings, is standard equipment with all GTO/PRO® systems. Digital Keypad (F300) The specially designed digital keypad can be easily installed as a wireless or wired keypad. [. . . ]
