IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE GTO/PRO SL-1000/2000 AND GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B

AUTOMATIC SLIDE GATE OPERATORS

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 INSTALLATION 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 the conditions 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 the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.

TO MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE GATE, FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW:

CAUTION: Disconnect the operator chain ONLY when the gate is NOT moving.

1. Lift the quick release pins UP, then pull them OUT of the chain brackets (see illustration).

2. Lay the chain down and manually slide the gate to the desired position.

Chain Bracket (204IH)

Quick Release Pin (211IH)

To prevent unauthorized removal of the quick release pins, install pin locks (see accessory catalog) above the quick release pins in both chain brackets.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGNER

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 on page 6).

3. 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.

FOR THE INSTALLER

WARNING-To reduce the risk of injury or death:

I. Before Installation

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

2. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, and its frequency of use.

3. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and slides 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. All openings of a horizontal slide gate must be guarded or screened to prevent a 21/4 inch diameter sphere from passing through openings anywhere in the gate. This screen (or guard) must also be installed over the portion of adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position (see page 6).

5. Review the operation of the system and become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the operator chain with the quick release pins for manual operation of the gate (see page 1).

6. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian 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.

2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched.

3. 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

increases the risk of injury or death.

4. Additional safety equipment such as roller guards and safety edges (or photoelectric sensors) MUST be installed to prevent bodily injury (see page 6).

5. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6. 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 and explain the basic operation and safety systems of the entire gate operator system, including disconnecting the chain for manual gate operation.

2. Inform the consumer/end user that servicing of the operator must only be done by an experienced technician.

3. 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.

4. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Leave IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(included) with consumer/end user.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

STATUS

SECONDARY MEANS OF PROTECTION AGAINST ENTRAPMENT

As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (31.1.1), 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 SL-1000/2000 and GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B gate operators have provisions for the connection of Type B1 and B2 protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection.

1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (31.1.6):

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 (31.1.10):

A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted edge, both

inside and outside of a vehicular slide 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; 31.2.1)

The GTO/PRO SL-2000 and GTO/PRO SL-2000B 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., transmitter signal) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position.

STEP 3

Insert a quick release pin into the center slot in each of the chain brackets (see Illustration C). Tie a string to the end of each quick release pin so that the string is tight between the two chain brackets (the string will be used to align the operator). The string should be 7”-10” from the ground (see Illustration B). The chain brackets can be adjusted up or down on the gate to achieve the proper height. The goal here is to set the height of the operator so that when the housing is in place it will clear the ground by 1” to 4” (see Illustration E).

Predicting the exact maximum number of operational cycles at peak load is more of an art form than an exact science. The charts below illustrate the average maximum number of cycles (the “MNC”) in a 24 hour period on a typical single gate, and is installed such that the motor draws 10 amperes to move the gate.

NOTE: Cycles shown are for single gate, dual gates will get approximately half as many cycles.

1) The MNC for the GTO/PRO SL-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/PRO 24 Amp Hour Battery Kit (see Accessoy Catalog) should provide ample power to handle any situation. For more information, call GTO’s service department at 1-800-543-1236.

INSTALLATION OF THE GTO TRANSFORMER CONT.

2) If the gate is binding or dragging, or if ball bearing rollers are not used, it will require more than 10 amps to move it. This will reduce the MNC.

3) The charts are based on the transformer being plugged into an outlet that provides a line voltage of 120 volts; if the outlet provides less than 120 volts (for example, some rural areas may only provide 105 volts), it can reduce the MNC by as much as 50%.

4) A fully charged standard battery has an inherent reserve of 20-50 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 charts on page 16 are based upon an ambient temperature of 40º F. Battery performance and speed at which it will recharge will fluctuate based upon temperature.

6) The MNC for dual gate applications will be about 50% less of those for a single gate.

IMPORTANT:

• The GTO transformer is intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged into

an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof housing or cover (available at electrical supply stores) must be used.

• Use of a surge protector is highly recommended.

• Optional Solar Panels are available from a GTO dealer; see Accessory Catalog.

• The GTO/PRO 24 Amp Hour Battery Kit is required for the SL-2000 in solar applications, see Accessory Catalog.

NOTE: If your are considering using the GTO solar panel to maintain the system battery charge, please see the following chart:

The four DIP switches on the control board match the operator with the type of gate on which it is mounted. For example, gates may open right to left or left to right. Prior to packaging, the GTO/PRO SL-1000 and SL2000 series control board was configured for a single slide gate that opens right to left. 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. NOTE: The direction a gate opens is determined by standing inside the property and

facing toward the gate.

NOTE: To change the DIP switch settings, you must turn the control box power switch OFF; move the switch; then turn the power back ON. Use a small screwdriver to move the switches.

AUTO CLOSE (auto close timer): Determines how long the gate will remain

open before it automatically closes. The limits are OFF to 120 seconds. The factory setting is OFF.

INERTIA: Fine tunes obstruction sensitivity in the opening and closing modes. INERTIA allows the operator to attempt to push an obstruction clear

MAX

of the gate path. When INERTIA is set to MIN the operator will obstruct quickly (i.e, will attempt to push an obstruction briefly); when set to MAX the operator will obstruct slowly (i.e., will push against an obstruct for a longer period). The factory setting is MIN.

OBSTRUCT SENS. (obstruction sensitivity): Determines the amount of force exerted by the gate on an obstruction before the operator stops and reverses.

The gate will exert minimum force before obstructing when set to MIN. When set to MAX, the operator will exert maximum gate force before obstructing (i.e., the operator will require greater resistance before stopping and reversing.). 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

SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR SERVICING

YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR!

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 SL-1000 or SL2000 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 DEATH.

WARNING!

SETTING THE PERSONAL TRANSMITTER CODE

, Inc.

All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to activate the automatic gate operator. For safety and security, however, we strongly recommend that the factory setting be replaced with a personal code. Follow the directions below:

1. REMOVE THE TRANSMITTER 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 TRANSMITTER 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.

MOUNTING THE RECEIVER

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 20 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 a 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 range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference.

FCC Regulation

This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference.

2. This device must accept an interference that may cause undesired operation.

Transmitter distance may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. NOTE: The manufacturer is not

responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES

After the operator is installed, adjust the open and closed position limit switches as needed. The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and to close.

Adjust the limit switches using the limit nuts. Lift limit switch plate to adjust limit nuts (see Illustration M).

The open and closed position switches will be reversed depending on whether the gate opens from left to right or from right to left (see Illustration N).

WARNING! In order to adjust switches, the control box must be ON. USE EXTREME CAUTION when adjusting limit switches to prevent fingers, hair, clothing, etc., from getting caught under the limit switch plate and possibly causing bodily injury.

If your gate opens from Right to Left:

1. Gate Opening: For gate to open further, turn Limit Nut A counterclockwise. For gate to open less, turn Limit Nut A clockwise.

2. Gate Closing: For gate to close further, turn Limit Nut B counterclockwise. For gate to close less, turn Limit Nut B clockwise.

However, if your gate opens from Left to Right:

CONNECTING SAFETY DEVICES

The GTO/PRO SL-1000 and SL-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. For this reason, safety edges or photoelectric sensors MUST be installed on the gate. Safety edges (or photoelectric sensors) must be mounted in compliance with Underwriters Laboratories’ safety standard for gate operators, UL 325. Review page 6 for information about mounting requirements for safety edges and photoelectric 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.

MAKE SURE TO GROUND THE SAFETY DEVICES AT THE GRN TERMINAL! THE CONTROL BOARD COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT GROUNDED!

ATTACHING THE HOUSING

Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT

Mount the operator housing after all installation procedures are complete. Slide operator housing over legs, align holes, and use screws provided to attach housing to operator.

IMPORTANT: Hang the two (2) GTO Warning Signs (provided) on both sides of the gate before operating. Make sure all warning signs and labels are in place. Make sure that the packet containing end user safety instructions and warranty procedures remains attached to the operator housing (as shown in the illustration).

Review the safety precautions & operator warranty procedures contained in packet (attached to the operator housing) with the customer. Leave packet attached to the housing for future reference.

MAINTENANCE

The GTO Slide Gate Operator is designed for minimum maintenance. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken:

GAT E

Having a well maintained gate will ensure that the operator runs smoothly and safely. Make sure gate is hung level and plumb. Check and adjust periodically. Lubricate rollers periodically with grease appropriate for the

coldest weather in your area.

SAFETY EDGES

Periodically test the safety edges to make sure they are functioning correctly. If they are not, discard and replace immediately.

CONTROL DEVICES

From time to time, check to ensure that all of the control devices connected to the operator are functioning. This is especially important for safety devices.

OPERATOR

Occasionally inspect the chain to ensure that it is well lubricated, and oil the chain as necessary. Use CHAIN AND CABLE LUBE for best results. Check the gear sprockets and grease them as needed. Check the rollers and spray oil on them as needed.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Maintenance:

• On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely grease the ball bearing rollers at least 4 times a year; grease more

frequently if the gates are near a coastal area.

• Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board.

• 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.

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

• To test the switches, put the meter on “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 .2 ohms. Do this for both switches.

• To test the cable, put the meter on ohms. At one end of the cable place the lead on the green wire, and on the other

end of the cable place the lead on the green wire and the other wires. This should show a maximum of 1.0 ohms on the green wire and nothing on the other wires. Test each wire as you have above. If all have the proper readings, then this is not the problem.

• Note: Inspect the cable for any signs of any punctures because wires inside the PVC jacket can be shorted and

the cable will still show proper ohms.

The control board: This is a micro processor board. The power that runs the gate is from the battery and recharged,

through the board only, by a 18 volt 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 by a voltmeter! The red light serves two purposes. The first is to aid in storing the personal transmitter code. See “Setting the

Personal Transmitter Code”. The second is to show the condition of the battery. If it is flashing, see the following section on “ Testing the

battery.” The normal state of this light is on, but dim. If the red LED is flashing it means that the system may have reached low voltage lockout; the unit does not have

enough voltage to operate the system. One of the following problems may exist:

• Broken or spliced wires from the transformer or solar panel to the control board.

•A transformer or solar panel that has no output voltage.

• Incorrect number of solar panels, or solar panels not properly hooked up.

The green light serves as a quick visual indication that the control board is receiving power from the transformer.

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.

Testing the battery: This is a 12 volt 7 Ah battery. The proper way to test this is to perform a load test. Place the

voltmeter on D.C.; put the red probe on the (+) positive terminal and place the black probe on (-) negative terminal. Then activate the unit and watch the voltmeter. The drop should not be more than 1 volt.

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: This will vary at each installation. (see FCC disclaimer on page 23), but generally varies

from 50 ft. to 100 ft.

• 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.
