Please Read This First!
Thank you for purchasing a GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS gate opener. When correctly installed and properly used,
your gate 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
Automatic Gate Operator.
The gate operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate. By purchasing an accessory
bracket [347IH], the gate operator can accommodate a push-to-open gate (gate that open out from the property).
The gate must not exceed 18 feet in length nor weigh more than 850 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications
on page 1). The gate 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, stop, and blow fuses.
The gate operator accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate
locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories are sshown in the back of this manual.
The gate operator features adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate stop and reverse direction
within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert
the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
The gate operator also has an adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds
before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gate fully opens will cause it to
close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter
button (or keypad, etc.) again.
Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or [phone] for more information about our GTO/ACCESS
SYSTEMS professional line of gate operators and accessories.
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 Information
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
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.
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.
Manually Opening and Closing Gate
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.
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.

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to meet the
requirements set forth in the instruction manual
could cause severe injury 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 opener is proper for the type and size
of gate, its frequency of use and 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 opener and safety devices
used with the system (see page 9).
3. Review the operation of the system to become
familiar with its safety features. Understand how
to disconnect the opener for manual gate
operations (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 page6).
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.

II. During Installation
1. Install the gate opener on the inside of the prop-
erty 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.
For the Consumer
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.

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 becomes damaged,
illegible, or missing, replace them immediately.
Contact GTO for free replacements.
2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time,
posing 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” (drive through)
while the gate is closing. This is extremely dan-
gerous.
5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate.
Never let children operate or play with gate
controls. Keep the remote control 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, clean the push-pull tube by spray-
ing a soft dry cloth with silicone spray and wipe
the tube at least once per month and replace the
battery every 2-3 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 INFORMATION
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.
Should you lose or misplace this manual, a
copy can be obtained by downloading one from
the GTO Access Systems web site (www.gtoac-
cess.com), by contacting Gates That Open,
LLC., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee,

Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment
ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A)
The GTO® 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 deacti-
vate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm.

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. GTO gate openers utilizes Type A, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the primary
type of entrapment protection. Also, the gate opener has provisions for the connection of Type B1 or B2 protection to be
used as the secondary type of entrapment protection, if desired.
1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325
(51.8.4 [h]):
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 (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.
You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact”
means of entrapment protection.

Important Safety Information

Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are required when installing the GTO Automatic
Gate Operator. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed if pedestrian traffic is expected near the ve-
hicular gate. We recommend using the GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (Call the GTO Sales
Department at 800-543-4283) for controlled access.
Required Safety Precautions for Gates
Install Warning Signs
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.
Entrapment Protection
Warning Signs
The warning signs (at right) must be installed on both
sides of the gate (see next page for details).

Gate Bracket
A. The simplest solution is to install the opener in a
push-to-open configuration (requires push-to-open
bracket, see accessory catalog). The minimum
clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no
longer a problem, since the opener will be pushing
the gate away from the column instead of pull-
ing it toward the column. It is recommended that
you place a steel plate between the opener mount-
ing brackets and masonry surface for additional
strength.
B. If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to
traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to
re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either
in the center of the column or at the back corner, or
move the gate to the back corner of the columns.
C. The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the
column to accommodate the opener and power
cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
IF THIS OPENER WILL BE USED WITH GATES THAT ARE MOUNTED ON MASONRY, BRICK,
OR ROCK (etc.) COLUMNS, READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

• Low voltage wire will be needed to run from the
transformer to the control box; length depends
upon the distance between the transformer power
supply and the control box. See Transformer Wiring
Installation on page 19, and the accessory catalog.
• PVC conduit.
• If your gate is more than 1000' away from an ac
power source you will need to use at least one GTO®

the accessory catalog (Do not use both transformer
and solar).
• If you have thin walled tube or panel gates, see
Recommended Reinforcement Examples in “Quick
Reference Guide” after Step 3 of “Mounting Opener
to Gate” section.
• Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross
member or mounting plate may be needed to mount
the front of the opener and gate bracket to the gate.
See Gate Bracket Mounting Examples in “Quick
Reference Guide” after Step 3 of “Mounting Opener
to Gate” section.
• Surge protection for transformer.
• Some types of installations require u-bolts.
