Important Safety Instructions SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE GTO/PRO SWING 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.
Important Safety Instructions 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 walkthrough gate (see Entrapment Protection illustration on page 6). 3.
Important Safety Instructions 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 operation of the foot pedal release. 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.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Specific to Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (30A.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.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for the Consumer/End User WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Distribute and discuss copies of the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS manual with all persons authorized to use your gate. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. 3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE. 4. Your automatic gate is not for pedestrian use.
Important Safety Instructions Required Safety Precautions for Gates Install Safety Edges, Warning Signs, and Safety Covers Safety edges provide the gate operator with an integral safety feature by stopping and reversing gate direction upon sensing an obstruction. Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation. Safety covers prevent hands and fingers from being pinched by the moving parts of the gate operator.
Important Safety Instructions Warning Labels These warning labels should be found at the locations specified below. If any of them are missing, immediately contact your installer for replacements. ! WARNING ! WARNING Moving Gate Can Cause Injury Or Death 1. KEEP CLEAR! Gate may move at any time. 2. Do not allow children to operate gate or play in gate area. 3. This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance. 4. Read the owner's manual and safety instructions. 5.

INSTALLING THE GATE OPERATOR THIS UNIT MUST ONLY BE INSTALLED BY AN EXPERIENCED TECHNICIAN. Preparation of the Gate Before installing the GTO/PRO swing gate operator, make sure: • the gate is properly installed. • the gate is plumb, level, and moves freely. • the gate does not bind or drag on the ground. Operator Installation Overview The diagram below is an example of a single swing gate installation with required safety features. The operator must be installed on the inside of the gate.
Using the Mounting Template The mounting template (see insert) is designed to simplify mounting the operator. It provides the installer with the proper locations for running power and accessory wiring conduits. The template is also marked with the correct distance between the operator mounting holes and shows the installer how to position the operator for the correct clearance between the housing and the gate. NOTE: The operator must be securely mounted on a level concrete pad.

Opened Gate Also, be sure the operator housing will not be hit by a fully open gate and that gate column will not interfere when housing is installed. Round Column Center point of gate hinge Closed Gate Housing Knuckle Cover Pivot point of operator 2 ft.
Connecting the Gate Arm Assembly 1. Fit the end of the reducer arm on the end of the upper spline (see illustration at right). Align the bolt holes of the parts and join them with (1) 1/2” bolt. Gate Arm Adjusting Bracket 1/2" x 1-1/2" bolts Upper Spline 1/2" x 1-1/2" bolts 1/2" x 2-1/2" bolt Reducer Arm 1/2" x 2" bolt 2. Fit the ends of the reducer arm, stop bracket and gate arm together (see illustration). Align the bolt holes of the parts and join them with (1) 1/2” bolt and (1) Nyloc nut.
ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and close. The closer the limit nut is to the limit switch, the less distance the gate will travel to open or close. Adjust the limit switches by moving the limit nuts. MAKE SURE THE OPERATOR POWER IS OFF BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE LIMIT SWITCHES. Lift and release the limit switch plate to unlock the limit nuts (see illustration at right).

SETTING A PERSONAL TRANSMITTER CODE All GTO transmitters are set to a standard code at the factory and are ready to operate the GTO/PRO SW-5000 & GTO/PRO SW-6000 series operators. 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).
INSTALLING SAFETY COVERS ON THE OPERATOR The movement of the gate arm assembly presents the possibility of physical injury to installers, maintenance technicians, and consumers/end users. The installer must know the areas of the operator where a person’s hands and fingers could be pinched. Furthermore, the installer must take reasonable precautions when installing a gate operator to prevent this type of injury (UL 325; 51.8.4 [a], [3]).
COMPATIBLE SAFETY DEVICES Although GTO strongly recommends the use of safety devices, we do not endorse any specific brand names. Below is a list of some products compatable with GTO operators systems, some of which require their own power supply. Check with the individual manufacturer for specific power needs. Only use products that are certified and listed to be in compliance with national and regional safety codes. Check with manufacture to insure product compatibility.
Installing a Dual Slide Gate Operator System IMPORTANT: With a dual gate system certain control board settings and connections are required on the MASTER unit only and some are required on both the MASTER and the SLAVE unit. The list below gives an overview. MASTER • Gate Sequencing (set on MASTER, left OFF on SLAVE) • Alarms (wired to MASTER only) • Entry Devices (all entry/exit devices, shadow loops, Fire Dept.

MAINTENANCE WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OPERATOR OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING OR SERVICING IT. Maintenance Schedule: Test the gate operator, accessories, and safety devices monthly. Service the gate operator, accessories, and safety devices regularly. Maintenance Checklist Test the safety edges (Grasp edges and squeeze). Check the obstruction settings (in both open and close modes). Check for wear on all moving parts, and tighten bolts as necessary. Check the gear box for any sign of oil leakage.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE WARNING: ALWAYS TURN OPERATOR OFF BEFORE ADJUSTING OR SERVICING IT. 1. If the PWR OK light will not come on: A. Check the operator for inbound power. B. The operator is in “learn” mode (see SETTING A PERSONAL TRANSMITTER CODE on page 19). 2. If the unit does not function: A. Check the operator for inbound power. B. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position. C. Control board may be damaged; call the GTO Service Department. 3.
