Thank you for purchasing a GTO/PRO® 2002XL When correctly installed and properly used, your GTO/PRO®
2002XL Operator will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information and watch the

enclosed videotape to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. Furthermore, this manual and the
videotape will enable you to properly install your GTO/PRO® 2002XL Automatic Gate Operator.

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open

into the property). By purchasing an accessory bracket, the GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator can accommodate a
push-to-open dual leaf gate (gates that open out from the property). The gate must not exceed 12 feet in length and
weigh more than 400 pounds per leaf (please see Technical Specifications on page 10). The GTO/PRO® 2002XL
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 opener will
obstruct and stop.

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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 at most stores. Your store should be able to special order any accessory not in stock.
If your store cannot special order accessories, please call the GTO Sales Department (800-543-GATE).

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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® 2002XL 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 NOTE—If your application requires any of the following:

Swing gates longer than 18 feet or weighing more than 850 pounds;
Slide gates;
Heavy duty or commercial uses;
Professional installation;

please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or [phone] for information about our GTO/PRO professional
line of gate openers 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 openers produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with
improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate opener systems. Keep in mind that the gate opener 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 opener, 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 opener or its components, serious injury, or death.

Because GTO automatic gate openers 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 opener is
removed from the gate. ONLY disconnect the opener when the control box power

switch is OFF and the gate is NOT moving.

Disconnecting the Opener

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 opener is disconnected.

NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock for the clevis pin on the front
mount of each gate opener to prevent unauthorized removal of
the opener 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 opener installation must comply with any applicable local codes.

I. Before Installation

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

2. Make sure the dual 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 opener 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
opener for manual gate operation (see page 1).

4. This gate opener 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 – area between two gates.
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.

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 opener OFF before performing any
maintenance. Clean the push-pull tube with a soft, dry cloth and spray with silicone at least once per month.

7. Service the gate and gate opener 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 opener for manual gate operation

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

GTO Service Department.

9. Disconnect the opener 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 opener are aware of the dangers
associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the
gate opener or sell the gate opener, 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 openers 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® 2002XL utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as
the primary type of entrapment protection. Also, the GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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 opener is not subjected to mechanical damage.

C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate opener 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® 2002XL Automatic Gate Operator is designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when the
gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these openers 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 opener receives an intended signal from a hard wired 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® 2002XL 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
gates (see page 7 for details).

• The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the GTO/PRO® 2002XL Auto­matic Gate Operator when powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the type and
condition of gate and installation.

NOTE: "NR" indicates this
size and weight combination
is not recommended for the
GTO/PRO 2002XL.

IMPORTANT: BALL BEAR­ING HINGES SHOULD
BE USED ON ALL GATES
WEIGHING OVER 250 Lbs.

To determine the number of cycles the gate opener will perform using solar panels, please see the specifications

listed on page 21 or call [phone] or [phone] for more information.

* An operation cycle is one full opening and closing of the gate.

These specifications are subject to change without notice.

Pull-to-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property)

The diagram shown below is an example of a pull-to-open installation on a chain link fence and dual gates. Furthermore, if
you have push-to-open gates, you will need to purchase two (2) push-to-open brackets (see Accessory Catalog) to properly
configure your system. See Push to Open Installation on page 32 before proceeding.

Preparation of the Gate

Step 1

The gates must be plumb, level, and swing freely on
their hinges. Wheels must not be attached to the gates.
The gates must move throughout their 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 posts must be secured in the ground with
concrete so they will minimize twist or flex when the
openers are activated. We recommend you position the
openers near the centerline of the gates to keep the gates
from twisting and flexing. The addition of horizontal
or vertical cross members (if they are not already in
place) to provide a stable area for mounting the gate
brackets is also important.

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

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 opener, 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 opener 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
opener 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 opener and gate when the opener is installed.

as shown. Fasten a 3/8" lock
washer, 3/8" washer and 3/8" nut

on the end of the bolt. DO NOT
overtighten the nut because the
post pivot bracket will have to be
adjusted later.

NOTE: The following steps are
intended for pull-to-open gate
installations. If you are mounting
your gate openers on a push-to­open gate (e.g., a gate on a sloped
driveway) you will need to purchase
two Push To Open brackets (see

Accessory catalog). Also, see Push-
to-Open Installation beginning on

page 32.

Step 4

Attach post bracket assembly and gate bracket to the opener 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 gate opener fully retracted, adjust the post
bracket assembly and gate bracket until the opener is level. While holding the opener level, use C-clamps to temporarily
keep the post bracket assembly and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post and gate.

Post Mount Example
(A + B can not exceed 10 inches)
Example: If A is 2" then B can not exceed 8"

Hinge

for minimum 2 inches of clearance between the gate and the opener in both the open and closed positions, as shown in the
diagrams below. This clearance will give the opener 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 opener, swing the gate and gate opener to the closed position. With the gate and gate
opener in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate opener is not binding at the post pivot bracket.

If you don't have 2 inches of clearance or the gate opener 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 opener to the gate
bracket in the open position and recheck the gate opener 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.

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL Gate Operators firmly hold the gates in the closed position using positive
stops. The positive stops help stabilize the gate leaves in the closed position. To further enhance
stability and security, we strongly recommended using an optional GTO/PRO® Automatic Gate
Lock (see Accessory Catalog) with your dual gate.

IMPORTANT: You need to determine

which side of the driveway you will mount the
control box. From this point on the gate and
gate opener on the same side as the control box
will be referred to as the MASTER gate and
gate opener. The gate and gate opener on the
opposite side of the driveway from the control
box will be referred to as the SLAVE gate and
gate opener.

Step 1

Attach the horizontal closed position stop plate to the
MASTER gate leaf.

Detach the gate operators from the gates and move the
gates to their closed position (Illustration A). Using
appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for
tube or chain link; screw or bolts for wood or metal)
attach the closed position stop plate (horizontally) about
mid height on the MASTER gate frame. Do not tighten
it completely at this time. Slide the stop plate toward the
frame of the SLAVE gate leaf until they touch (Illustration
B). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct
position, tighten its hardware completely.

Illustration B

NOTE:

against. If you will be using the GTO/PRO Horizontal Gate Lock accessory with your gate opener
system, the closed position ground stop is REQUIRED, as shown in Steps 2 and 3 on the next page.

The ground stop needs to be positioned near the end of the
gate as shown in Illustration A and may be made of metal
or concrete and should be firmly secured in the ground (we
recommend setting it in concrete).

Step 3

Attach a vertical closed position stop plate to the SLAVE
gate.

Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate attach the
vertical closed position stop plate to the SLAVE gate frame
at the point where it will come in contact with the ground
stop post.. Do not tighten it completely at this time. You must slide the closed position stop plate toward the ground stop until
they touch (Illustration C). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely.

NOTE: For a push-to-open installation (gate opens out from the property) attach the closed position stop plate to the outside
of the gate.

At this stage of the installation, the openers should be installed on the
gate leaves and the open and closed position stops should be in place.

Use mounting
holes and screws
provided to mount
control box to a
secure surface.

Step 1

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®

2002XL, 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.
A second battery is recommended for solar and/or high
traffic applications, if needed.

Step 2

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 3

Strip approximately 3/16" of insulation from each
wire of the 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 5

Review the Installation Overview illustration on page 11 before proceeding.

Cut a slot into the driveway to accommodate PVC conduit (not provided). The buried conduit will protect the 32 foot power
cable from automobile tires, lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Pull the 32 foot second opener power
cable through the conduit and secure them into the slot in the driveway.

Step 6

Strip approximately 3/16" of insulation from each wire
of the 40 foot power cable. Twist each exposed wire
tightly. Insert the slave arm power cable upward through
the right strain relief (if necessary, loosen the sealing

nut). Thread approximately 4" of wire into the control
box. Retighten strain relief (on the black sheath of the
power cable) until the power cable locks into place.

Insert the stripped wires of the power cable into the
appropriate terminals on the SLAVE CABLE terminal
block. The green wire should be inserted into the GRN
terminal, the white wire into WHT, the blue wire into
BLUE, 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.

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® 2002XL Gate Opener must be 16 gauge dual conductor,

multi-stranded, direct burial wire (see page 22 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 10 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 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

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.

DIP Switches

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-to­Open Instructions on page 32).

DIP Switch #4 - Delay/Simultaneous operation
ON - Slave opens simultaneously with master.
OFF - Slave opens after master.
NOTE: Not applicable for single gate operator.

Your GTO/PRO® 2002XL has two Limit Settings

1) OPEN Limit setting: (Gate in the OPEN POSITION / FACTORY SET 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 SEVEN STEPS:

Step 1

Confirm that the power switch is in the ON position, and the gates are in the OPEN POSITIONS.

Step 2

Activate your openers by pressing the entry transmitter
button. Your gates should now be moving from the fully
open positions toward their closing position. Prepare to
STOP gate that reaches the desired closed position first
by pressing the entry transmitter button again. 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

Note which gate has reached the desired closed position
(typically it's the slave gate), program the closed limit
setting by pressing and holding the corresponding
'LEARN MAST LIMIT' or 'LEARN SLV LIMIT' for 5
seconds or until the buzzer sounds.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Activate your openers again by pressing the entry transmitter button. Your gates should now be moving from the fully open
positions toward their closing position. The first gate will stop at the spot you just programmed and the second gate will
continue to close until you press the transmitter button again. The optimum CLOSED POSITION for the second gate is
when it closes firmly, without excess tension, against the first gate. This step may be repeated until desired close position is
achieved. Once the desired CLOSED position has been achieved, proceed to step 6.

Step 6

Repeat step 3 for the other gate that has not been set in step 3.

Step 7

Press the transmitter button and allow the gates to return to the fully open position. BOTH YOUR MASTER AND SLAVE
GATE’S CLOSED POSITION LIMITS ARE NOW PROGRAMMED.

Press your entry transmitter and allow your gates to close. If CLOSED positions are not correct or need to be changed, you
will need to CLEAR your CLOSED LIMIT settings and follow Steps 1-7 again.

CLEARING PROGRAMMED CLOSED LIMIT SETTING:

If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position – press your transmitter to return the gates to their fully opened
positions, then press and hold the 'LEARN MAST LIMIT' or 'LEARN SLV LIMIT' button for 5 seconds. This will clear the
memory for the closed limit positions. Follow Steps 1-7 again.

Setting Your Personal Transmitter Code

All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate your GTO/PRO 2002XL® 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
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 front
cover.

WARNING: No other adjustments should be made inside the transmitter.

3. “Teach” the New Code to Control Board Memory

A. Press and hold transmitter button.
B. Press and hold the LEARN RMT (Learn Remote) button

on the control board until the buzzer sounds.
C. Release transmitter button. The new code
is stored in control board memory.
D. Release the LEARN RMT (Learn Remote) button.

STALL FORCE

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the
obstruction setting or Stall Force on the GTO/
PRO® 2002XL 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 sensitivity from the MINIMUM position
where the gate operates without obstructing from its own weight or the
wind conditions in your area.

NOTE: You may need to increase the stall force in cold weather due to
increased resistance from gate hinges.

ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR

Installing the Receiver

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

Consider the following when mounting the receiver:

SERVICING YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER!

• 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.

• DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range.

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

• DO NOT mount upside down.

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

• MOUNT 3 feet away from AC voltage.

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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® 2002XL.

The GTO/PRO® 2002XL 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® 2002XL
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® 2002XL
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 openers 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 opener is level. While holding the opener 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 opener in both the open and closed
positions, as shown in the diagrams below. This clearance will give the
opener 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).

Pull-To-Open) to ON for Push-To-Open. Turn
power switch ON. The control board is now

Step 5

Install the second gate opener on the other
gate in the same manner. Then refer to the
CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS on page 24 for
gate sequencing and other programming steps
before proceeding.

Setting the Open Position Limit

Step 1

Confirm that the power switch is in the ON position, and the gates are in the CLOSED POSITIONS.

Step 2

Activate your openers by pressing the entry transmitter button. Your gates should now be moving from the closed positions
toward their open position. Prepare to STOP gates by pressing the entry transmitter button again when the first gate reaches
the desired open position. This step may be repeated until desired open position is achieved. Once the desired OPEN

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

7. ‘OPEN EDGE’ Input Activated indicators:
Alarm: None.
‘STATUS’ Led: 6 blinks with 2 second pause (Idle state only)

• ‘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...

35

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’
Alarm: 1 beep with 2 second pause.
‘STATUS’ Led: 1 blink with 2 second pause.

• The limit switch from the master arm is not detected. This typically indicates that the master
arm is not connected or both the normally open (brown wire) and the normally close (orange
wire) are shorted to common/ground.

2. Slave arm limit switch error indicators: Error Code ‘2’
Alarm: 2 beeps with 2 second pause.
‘STATUS’ Led: 2 blinks with 2 second pause.

• The limit switch from the slave arm is not detected. This typically indicates that both the nor
mally open (brown wire) and the normally close (orange wire) are shorted to common/ground.
Note: If no slave arm is connected, the control board will automatically switch to single
mode operation.

• After 2 seconds of extending and the retracted limit switch still being activated (Stuck limit
switch).

36

3. Master arm running error indicators: Error Code ‘3’
Alarm: 3 beeps with 2 second pause.
‘STATUS’ Led: 3 blinks with 2 second pause.
