IMPORTANT:
16 gauge, multi-stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (RB509) is required to connect the
lights to the digital control board (see diagram on page 1). Small sections of the same wire will also be required
for connecting light kit control board to gate operator control board and power source. Please read manual to
determine how much wire you will need.
Thank you...
for purchasing the Digital Controlled Gate Opener Light Kit. GTO, Inc., has been designing and manufac-
turing reliable, high quality products since 1987. Our corporate headquarters and state of the art manu-
facturing facility is located in Tallahassee, Florida. One of our highest priorities is to provide outstanding
technical service to our customers. Therefore, if you have any questions or require any technical assis-
tance, please call our toll free line 800-543-1236 or 850-575-4144 and ask to speak to one of our techni-
cians.
The Digital Controlled Gate Opener Light Kit you have purchased is designed with some of the most
controller and controls the activation and duration of the low voltage lights at the gate. The Photo Sensor
only allows the light to be activated during low light or dark periods of the day for energy conservation.
The lights come on when the gate operator is activated and will remain on from 0 to 120 seconds from the
time the gate closed.
Prior to installing your Light Kit, please read this manual thoroughly. There are important safety recom-
mendations of which you should be aware. This product, and any accessory you purchase, should only be
installed on a gate opener that meets the current safety standard (UL325). If you have a gate opener that
is not listed with the current standards, please contact the GTO sales department at 800-543-4283 or 850-

The Digital Light Kit is designed to work in conjunction with GTO automatic gate openers to illuminate
the entry way while the gate is being opened and closed during night time hours. The low voltage lights
photo cell allows the lights to only come on at night which conserves energy and battery power, making
the Digital Light Kit ideal for low voltage DC powered automatic gate openers.
The lights can be assembled to mount on the face of your gate posts or on top of the posts. Once you
determine where you want to mount the lights, you will assemble the lights and attach them to the gate
post. Low voltage wire (RB509) will be needed to connect the lights mounted on the gate post to the
light kit control board. GTO recommends that all wires be run in PVC conduit.
The light kit control board is normally mounted inside the gate opener’s control box close to the gate
opener’s control board. If it will not fi t in the gate opener’s control box or your gate opener doesn’t
have a control box, a weatherproof junction box must be used to house the light kit control board and
low voltage wire (RB509) must be used to connect the light kit control board to the gate opener control
board.
The photocell will be mounted in the bottom of either the gate opener’s control box or the weatherproof
junction box, depending on where you installed the light kit control board.
After everything is installed, you will program the light kit control board for the length of time you wish
the lights to remain on after the gate is opened.
IMPORTANT:
16 gauge, multi-stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (RB509) is required
to connect the lights to the digital control board (see diagram below) and in some cases small

In order to test the light kit in the day light, place a piece of black electrician’s tape over the photocell lens then
wait for 2 minutes. Activate the gate operator by pressing the gate operator’s transmitter button or another activa-
tion device.
The lights should come on when the gate is activated and go off at the time delay you have set.
If any of these actions did not occur, please call GTO Technical Service at 1-800-543-4283 for additional informa-
tion.
When everything is working correctly, replace all connection covers, remove the electrician’s tape and your done.
