Thank you for purchasing a GTO/PRO® 2000XL When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO®
2000XL 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 GTO/PRO®
2000XL Automatic Gate Operator.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL Operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate (gates that open
into the property). By purchasing an accessory bracket, the GTO/PRO® 2000XL Operator can accommodate a

push-to-open single leaf gate (gates that open out from the property). The gate must not exceed 12 feet in length (per
leaf) nor weigh more than 400 pounds (per leaf) (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The GTO/PRO®
2000XL 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 and stop.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL Operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons,
automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed GTO/PRO®
Accessory Catalog) are available.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL Operator features adjustable obstruction sensing. This safety feature makes the gate
stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. MIN is the factory setting;
meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL Operator also has an adjustable auto-close feature. After the gate reaches the fully open
position, it can be set to remain open up to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button
at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately. OFF is the factory setting; meaning the gate
will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.

Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or [phone] for more information about our GTO/PRO®
professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone
number of a GTO/PRO® dealer near you.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR:

Read these instructions carefully and completely to become

familiar with all parts and installation steps.

You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on

gate operator safety and proper use of the gate operator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Clevis Pin

Hairpin Clip

Gate Bracket

Front Mount

Bushing

Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with
improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated 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 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.

Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol. The symbol identifies 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 the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the
consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.

To Manually Open and Close the
Gate, Follow the Procedure Below:

CAUTION: The gate will move freely and uncontrolled when the gate operator is
removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect the operator when the control box power

switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

Disconnecting the Operator

1. Turn control box power switch OFF.

2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing
from either the front or rear mounting point.

3. Remove the opener from the mount.

The gate can be opened and closed manually
when the operator is disconnected.

NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock for the clevis pin on the front
mount of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of
the operator from the gate (see Accessory Catalog).

For The Consumer

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction

manual could cause severe injury and/or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.

2. 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.

3. 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 must not open into public access areas.

4. The gate and gate operator installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

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

2. 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.

3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the
operator for manual gate operation (see page 1).

4. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for
pedestrian use (see page 6).

5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE

PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times.

Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation:
Zone 1 – leading edge of the gate and the fence post.
Zone 2 – between the gate and the gate post.
Zone 3 – the path of the gate.
Zone 4 – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, tree, etc.
Zone 5 – pinch points between the opener and gate or post.

II. During Installation

1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property and fence line. DO NOT install an opener 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. Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection
against entrapment.

4. If push buttons or key switches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from
any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to
reach through the gate to activate the gate opener.

5. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people,
pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement.

6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate opener controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

III. After Installation

1. Attach the warning signs (included) to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is
your responsibility to post 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 GTO for free replacements.

2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact
with the gate when it is moving or stationary.

3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop.

4. Do not attempt to "beat the gate" while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous.

5. 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. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Always turn power to operator OFF before performing any
maintenance. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to it at least once per month.

7. Service the gate and gate operator regularly. Grease hinges, spray push pull tube with high quality silicone spray and
replace the battery every 3-5 years.

8. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation

(see page 1). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the

GTO Service Department.

9. Disconnect the operator ONLY when the power is TURNED OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

10. Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access.

11. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual with all
persons authorized to use your gate.

12. IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is

using or will be around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers
associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with
the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety
instructions to the new owner.

Secondary Means of Protection Against
Entrapment

As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent
entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to
protect against entrapment. The GTO/PRO® 2000XL utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system
as the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 2000XL has provisions for the connection of Type B2
protection to be used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.

1. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge 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 edge, 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® 2000XL Automatic Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the
gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an audio entrapment
alarm which will activate 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 from a hardwired entry/exit source (e.g. push button
control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the
control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless
keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

Required Safety Precautions for Gates

Install Warning Signs

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO/PRO® 2000XL Automatic
Gate Operator. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the vehicular gate.
We recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales Department) for controlled access.

Entrapment Protection

GTO’s inherent 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 enhanced protection against entrapment.

Warning Signs

The warning signs (at right) must
be installed on both sides of the
gate (see page 7 for details).

configure your system. See Push to Open Installation on page 31 before proceeding.

Preparation of the Gate

Step 1

The gate must be plumb, level, and swing freely on its
hinges. Wheels must not be attached to the gate. The
gate must move throughout its arc without binding or

dragging on the ground. Note that gates over 250 lb.
should have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.

Step 2

The fence post must be secured in the ground with

concrete so it will minimize twist or flex when the
operator is activated. We recommend you position the
operator near the centerline of the gate to keep the gate
from twisting and flexing. The addition of a horizontal
or vertical cross member (if one is not already in place)
to provide a stable area for mounting the gate bracket is
also important.

The position of the post bracket determines the leverage and efficiency of the operator. The post bracket position also sets the
clearance between the operator and gate in the open and closed positions (minimum 2 inches for safety reasons).

The curved design of the post bracket works well for installations on round and square fence posts. Because the post bracket
carries the entire thrust of the active operator, bolts that completely penetrate the fence post must be used.

On wooden posts, place a metal plate or washer
(not supplied) between the nuts and the fence
post to prevent the thrust of the operator from
pulling the bolts and washers out of the wood.

NOTE: A fence post smaller than 6" in diameter
or 6" square should be made of metal instead
of wood so that it will remain stable while the
operator is moving the gate.

IMPORTANT:

We strongly recommend using steel pipe, wood or metal to reinforce thin walled tube gates or wood to reinforce panel gates
as shown. These reinforcement methods will prevent damage to the operator and gate when the operator is installed.

adjusted later.

Step 4

Attach post bracket assembly and gate bracket to the operator with the clevis pins and bushings. Secure the clevis pins with
hairpin clips.

Step 5

With the gate in the open position (up to 110º from its closed position) and the operator fully retracted, adjust the
post bracket assembly and gate bracket until the operator is level. While holding the operator level, use C-clamps to
temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the
diagrams below. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and
more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.

Step 6

When you have achieved the required position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the 5/16" x 1-3/4" bolt
through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place. Remove the clevis pin from the front
mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate
operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate operator is not binding at the post pivot bracket.

If you don't have 2 inches of clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the 5/16" x 1-3/4"
bolt and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve these important clearances.

With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, reattach the operator to the gate
bracket in the open position and recheck the gate operator level and make sure the brackets are clamped securely.

TIP: Turning the pivot bracket over gives

more hole alignment options for the post
pivot bracket assembly. You can also move
the entire post pivot bracket assembly to
different positions on the gate post to help
achieve the proper clearances.

Step 11

Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin
clips, or optional Pin Locks (see Accessory Catalog). Verify that the operator is level and adjust the post bracket assembly if
necessary.

Installation of the Closed Position Stop

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL Gate Operator firmly holds the gate in the closed position using the positive stop plate.
The positive stop helps stabilize the gate leaf in the closed position. To further enhance the stability and security
of your gate, install the optional GTO/PRO® Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog).

Step 12

Remove hairpin, clevis pin, and washer from front mount
and close the gate (remember to support operator). Fasten
the closed position stop plate to the end of the gate frame on
the gate centerline, but do not tighten it completely. Slide
the stop plate toward the fence post until they touch (see
illustration). Once you have moved the stop plate to the
correct position, tighten its hardware completely.

Use the appropriate hardware for your type of gate (use
U-bolts if you have a tube or chain link gate; wood or lag
screws for wood gates; etc.). This hardware is not provided.

the gate and the closed position stop should be in place.

Check List

• The gate is plumb, level, and swings smoothly on its hinges.

• A plate or support was added for the gate bracket (if necessary).

• The operator is level and mounted on the centerline of the gate.

Mounting the Control Box

Step 13

Mount the control box using the screws (provided) or another
secure mounting method. The control box must be mounted at
least 3 feet above the ground to protect it from rain splash, snow,
etc., and at least 3 feet from an AC power source to prevent

electrical interference.

NOTE: The battery that came with your GTO/PRO®

2000XL, MUST be placed in the top (horizontal)
battery slot with the terminals on the RIGHT. The
extra (vertical) battery slot is for an optional second
battery. An optional second battery is recommended for
solar and/or high traffic applications, if needed.

Step 1

Make sure the control box power switch is in the OFF position.
The ON/OFF Switch is located on the bottom of the control
box. Remove the control box cover and slide the battery into
position with its terminals to the RIGHT (see illustration).
Connect the BLACK battery wire to the NEGATIVE (–) battery
terminal. Connect the RED battery wire to the POSITIVE (+)
terminal. Pay close attention to the color of the wires. If the wires

are connected incorrectly, the control board will be damaged.

NEVER insert the battery with the terminals to the left.

Step 2

Strip approximately 3/16" of insulation from each wire of
the opener power cable. Twist each exposed wire tightly
(there are seven [7] wires inside the power cable sheath).
Loosen sealing nut on strain relief hub at bottom of
control box. Insert power cable into control box through
strain relief. Thread approximately 6" of the power cable
into the control box and retighten sealing nut until the
power cable locks into place.

Step 3

Insert the stripped power cable wires into the
appropriate terminals on the MASTER CABLE

terminal block. The green wire should be inserted
into the GRN terminal, the white wire into WHT,
the blue wire into BLU, brown wire into BRN, and
the orange wire into the ORG terminal, red wire into
RED, and black wire into BLK.

Tighten the set screws against the end of the wires.
A dab of petroleum jelly on each terminal will help
prevent corrosion.

Installation of the Transformer

IMPORTANT:

• The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into
an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover or housing (available at local electrical supply stores)
must be used.

• All low voltage wire used with the GTO/PRO® 2000XL Gate Opener must be 16 gauge dual
conductor, multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 20 and the Accessory Catalog). Do not run

more than 1000 feet of wire.

• If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an ac power source, you will need to use at least one 5 watt
Solar Panel to charge the battery (see Accessory Catalog). Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate
Activity chart below.

Optional Solar Panels and Gate Activity

The table and map
illustrate the maximum
number of gate cycles
to expect per day in a
particular area when
using from 5 to 30 watts
of solar charging power.
(see Accessory Catalog).
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® 2000XL Gate Opener. Consult Solar

The only wire acceptable for use with GTO 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.

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! DO NOT PLUG THE TRANSFORMER
INTO AN OUTLET DURING THIS STEP! THE
TRANSFORMER MUST ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO
AN OUTLET DURING STEP 7!

Step 5

Strip 3/16" off the ends of the low voltage wire and
twist tightly. Attach these ends to the GTO 18VOLT
TRANSFORMER OR SOLAR (GTO Transformer)

terminals located on the POWER INPUTS (GTO
Transformer) terminal block (see illustration at right).

Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each
other!

Insert one transformer wire into an GTO
TRANSFORMER terminal. Insert the other
transformer wire into the remaining GTO
TRANSFORMER terminal. The transformer wires

can be connected to the GTO TRANSFORMER
terminals regardless of polarity or color.

Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A
dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will
help prevent corrosion.

Step 6

SURGE PROTECTOR

Transformer

1

Strip

/2" of insulation from the ends of the low voltage

wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer

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.

Main DIP Switch Settings (MODES)

DIP Switch #1 - Soft Start/Stop
ON - Soft start enabled (factory preset).
OFF - Soft start disabled.

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. This saves wear and
tear on the gate and gate opener system.

DIP Switch #2 - Warning Buzzer
ON - Buzzer warning enabled (factory preset).
OFF - Buzzer warning disabled.

The Warning Buzzer alerts you when the gate

opener is beginning to either open or close the
gate. It sounds for the first 2 seconds in each
direction. It also sounds a warning when the gate
obstructs two times in one cycle. Switching this
to OFF only disables the open and close warning
not the obstruction warning.

DIP Switch #3 - Push/Pull-to-Open
ON - Push to open.
OFF - Pull to open (factory preset).

If your gate opens into the property the DIP

Switch is set to the OFF position (factory
setting). If your gate opens out from the property
the DIP Switch must be set to the ON position.
NOTE: if you have a Push-to-Open gate
application you will need a Push-to-Open bracket
(see Push-to-Open Instructions on page 31).

DIP Switch #4 - Dual Operation
ON - Slave opens simultaneously with master.

OFF - Slave opens after master.

Note: Not applicable for single gate operator.

Your GTO/PRO® 2000XL has two Limit Settings

1) OPEN Limit setting: (Gate in the OPEN POSITION / the limit is FACTORY SET and NOT ADJUSTABLE) The open
limit setting is the fully open position.

2) CLOSED Limit setting: (Gate in the CLOSED POSITION) To achieve optimum closed position, you are required
to complete the following FOUR STEPS:

Step 1

Confirm that the power switch is in the ON position and the gate is in the OPEN POSITION.

Step 2

Activate your opener by pressing the entry transmitter button.
Your gate should now be moving from the fully open position
toward the closed position. Prepare to STOP the gate by pressing
the entry transmitter button again when the gate reaches the
desired closed position. This step may be repeated until desired
close position is achieved. Once the desired CLOSED position
has been achieved, proceed to step 3.

Step 3

With the gate in the desired closed position PRESS & HOLD
the “LEARN MAST LIMIT" button on the control board for 5
seconds or until the buzzer sounds.

Step 4

Press the transmitter button and allow the gate to return to the
fully open position. YOUR GATE’S CLOSED POSITION LIMIT
IS NOW PROGRAMMED.

TESTING YOUR CLOSED LIMIT SETTING:

Press your entry transmitter and allow your gate to close. If the CLOSED position is not correct or needs to be changed, you
will need to CLEAR your CLOSED LIMIT settings and follow Steps 1-4 again.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED CLOSED LIMIT SETTING:

If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position – press your transmitter to return the gate to the fully opened
position, then press and hold the "LEARN MAST LIMIT" button for 5 seconds or until the buzzer sounds. This will clear the
memory for the closed limit position. Follow Steps 1-4 again.

STALL FORCE

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons
the obstruction setting or Stall
Force on the GTO/PRO® 2000XL
control board comes from the facto­ry set at MIN (minimum). In many
gate installations this setting will
need to be adjusted to overcome the
weight and size of the gates.

The Stall Force potentiometer on
the control board operates like a
volume control on a radio. It controls the obstruction
sensitivity (or the amount of force the opener will apply to an
obstruction) before it automatically stops and reverses direction for
approximately two (2) seconds.

Use a small slotted screwdriver to turn the arrow in the center of the
potentiometer. Adjust the stall force from the MINIMUM position
where the gate operates without obstructing from its own weight or the
wind conditions in your area.

All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate your GTO/PRO® 2000XL Gate
Opener®. For 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 Transmitter Cover

On the back of the transmitter use a small phillips head screw driver to remove
the two screws on the sides of the visor clip and separate the front cover from the
transmitter. With the front cover 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 can be placed in three different

Installing the Receiver

Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it.

Consider the following when mounting the receiver:

• Standard 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.

• The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography,
and external interference.

• DO NOT mount upside down.

• DO NOT mount on metal fence.

• MOUNT so that you have line of sight between remote and antenna.

• MOUNT 3 feet away from AC voltage.

• MOUNT as high as possible for optimum range.

Although GTO strongly recommends the use of additional safety devices, we do not endorse any

specific brand names. Only use products that are certified and listed to be in compliance with any

applicable UL standards (Underwriters Laboratories) and national and regional safety codes.

Call GTO Sales at 1-800-543-4283 for information on compatible

products for your specific application.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL will ONLY accept accessory devices with normally open dry contact output.

Contact Sensors (safety edges)

If not installing a contact sensor skip to next section.

PLEASE NOTE: Contact sensors are not included with the GTO/PRO® 2000XL.

The GTO/PRO® 2000XL is equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. The opener is designed to stop and reverse the
gate within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, although functioning
properly, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. To augment your protection against
entrapment, GTO recommends using some form of additional safety device. When installed, contact sensors must be
mounted in compliance with UL 325, Underwriters Laboratories safety standard for gate openers. Review page 5 for infor­mation about mounting requirements for safety edges ("contact sensors").

Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions for
information about installing these devices on a vehicular
gate.

Make sure the power switch to the opener is
turned off before connecting safety device
wiring to the terminal blocks. Unplugging the
transformer does not turn power to the opener
OFF.

Contact Sensor Input Connection:

Connect one of the OPEN EDGE contact sensor wires to the

COMMON (COM) terminal and the other to the OPEN
EDGE terminal on the GTO/PRO® 2000XL control board.

Connect one of the CLOSE EDGE contact sensor wires to the

COMMON (COM) terminal and the other to the CLOSE
EDGE terminal on the GTO/PRO® 2000XL control board.

Activation of a contact sensor while the gate is in motion
will cause the gate to stop and reverse within two (2)
seconds.

NOTE: If the close edge is contacted when the gate is opening, nothing happens. If the close edge is
contacted when the gate is closing, then it reverses. If the open edge is contacted when the gate is clos­ing, nothing happens. If the open edge is contacted when the gate is opening, then it reverses.

Determining The Mounting Position
of The Post Bracket Assembly

Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!

A "Push-to-Open" gate opens out from the property.

A Push-to-Open Bracket is required for this type of installation (see
Accessory Catalog). If you have a pull-to-open gate (gate opens into the

property), return to page 13; step 3.

In a PUSH-TO-OPEN installation the operators are installed while the gates
are in the closed position.

Step 1

With the gates closed, adjust the post bracket assembly and the gate
bracket until the operator is level. While holding the operator level,
use C-clamps to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and
gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post

pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for maximum
clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed
positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the
operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the
gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area.

Step 2

After verifying that you have the best position
for the post pivot bracket, insert the 5/16" x 1 3/4"

bolt through the aligned holes of the post bracket
and post pivot bracket and fasten it with the 5/16"

washer and nut.

IMPORTANT: If you loosened the clamp on
the post bracket to achieve the optimum position,
tighten it in its new position and recheck the gate
bracket with the gate in the open position (move the
gate bracket and re-clamp it if necessary).

Step 4

Make sure the control box power switch
is OFF. Use a small screwdriver to
move the Number 3 DIP switch from
the factory setting (OFF / Pull-To­Open) to ON for Push-To-Open. Turn
power switch ON. The control board is
now configured to push the gate open.

Setting the Open Position Limit

Step 1

Confirm that the power switch is in the ON position, and the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.

Step 2

Activate your opener by pressing the entry transmitter button. Your gate should now be moving from the closed position
toward the open position. Prepare to STOP gate by pressing the entry transmitter button again when the gate reaches the
desired open position. This step may be repeated until desired open position is achieved. Once the desired OPEN position has
been achieved, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3

With the gate in the desired open position PRESS & HOLD the “LEARN MAST LIMIT" button on the control board for 5
seconds.

Step 4

Press the transmitter button and allow the gate to return to the
closed position. YOUR GATE’S OPEN POSITION LIMIT IS
NOW PROGRAMMED.

TESTING YOUR OPEN LIMIT SETTING:

Press your entry transmitter and allow your gate to open. If the
OPEN position is not correct or needs to be changed, you will
need to CLEAR your OPEN LIMIT settings and follow steps
one (1) to four (4) again.

CLEARING PROGRAMMED
OPEN LIMIT SETTING:

If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position
– press your transmitter to return the gate to the fully closed
position, then press and hold the "LEARN MAST LIMIT"
button for 5 seconds. This will clear the memory for the
open limit position. Follow steps one (1) to four (4) again.

• ‘OPN EDGE’ input is continuously shorted to common/ground.

8. ‘POWER IN’ Input indicator:
Alarm: None.
‘POWER IN’ Led (Green): ON/OFF (see description below)

• ON: Transformer is detected.

• OFF: Transformer installation: No AC input power is present. The battery is not being charged...

33

9. Battery charging indicator:
Alarm: None.
‘CHARGING’ Led (Red): vary (see description below)

• Constantly ON: The charging circuit is in fast charge mode. The battery is being charge with a
constant current (~ 1Amp)

• 2 blinks per second: Soak charge mode. The charger has completed fast charge mode and
the battery has reached the desired voltage (~14.1 Volts). The charger circuit will remain at this
stage for a maximum of 2 hours then switch to float charge mode.

• 1 blink per 2 seconds: Float charge mode. The battery has reached full capacity; a constant volt
age is applied to keep the battery at fully charged capacity. (~13.8 Volts)

• OFF: Battery is not being charge. This led will be OFF if there is no transformer or
solar panel power.

10. Low Battery indicators:
Alarm: 1 beep every 10 seconds (Idle state only)
‘STATUS’ Led: 1 blink every 10 seconds (Idle state only)
‘CHARGING’ Led: Rapid pulses every second.

• Operator will continue to operator as normal. However, the battery will need to be charged.
Low battery indicator will only be activated while gate is idle.

• While in idle state and the battery voltage drop below 11.4 volts (this voltage is temperature
compensated) the unit will enter low battery indicator mode as described above. The operator
will ‘exit’ low battery indicator mode when the voltage is above 12Volts.

11. Receiver/RF indicators:
Alarm: None
‘RECEIVER’ Led: blinking or OFF.

• When the ‘RECEIVER’ led is blinking, the controller is receiving ‘GTO scheme’ 318 MHz
signal from the receiver. This indicates that the transmitter and receiver are working properly.
However, if the transmitter is not being pressed and the ‘RECEIVER’ led is blinking, this
indicates that there is significant interference (i.e. A stuck transmitter sending out
unwanted signal).

• The ‘RECEIVER’ led is normally off if the transmitter is not pressed/transmitting.

B. LED INDICATORS ON NON-WORKING OPENER:

In the following modes, the operator is not functional. Power-on reset is required to return the operator
to normal operation after the problem has been corrected.

1. Master arm limit switch error indicators: Error Code ‘1’
