Safety Instructions for the GTO/PRO 2000
and GTO/PRO 2200 Gate Operators
SAFETY IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to their users. However, because these machines can produce
high levels of force, it is important that all gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of the potential
hazards associated with improperly designed, installed or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is only
one component of the total gate operating system–each component must work in unison to provide the end user with
convenience, security and safety.
The following information contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer and end user.
Although the warnings are not completely exhaustive in nature (due to the many and varied possible applications), they do
provide an overview of the importance of safe design, installation and use. Take the time to carefully read and follow these
precautions and other information provided to help assure a safe system design, installation and use.
NOTE: GTO Automatic Gate Operators are intended to be part of a total gate operating system. It is the responsibility of
the purchaser, designer and installer to insure that the total system is safe for its intended use. The manufacturer is not
responsible for accidents arising from unsafe installations or improper use. Safety is your responsibility!
SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGNER
1. Familiarize yourself with the complete safety instructions, precautions and warnings. The end user is relying on your
design to provide a safe, hazard-free installation and system use.
2. When designing a system which will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed
far enough away from the road to eliminate traffic backup. Distance from the road, size of the gate, usage levels and
gate cycle/speed must be taken into consideration to eliminate potential traffic hazard.
3. This gate is not for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected, install a walk-through gate for this purpose.

3
SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE INSTALLER
I. Before Installation
1. Check to ensure that this gate operator is proper for the type and size of gate and its frequency of use (see page 6).
2. Make sure that the gate has been properly installed and swings freely while opening and closing. Repair or service
any worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation of operator. A freely moving gate will require less force to
operate and enhance the performance of the operator as well as the safety devices used with the system. Use ball
bearing hinges for all gates exceeding 250 lbs (113.4 kg).
3. Review the operation of the system and become familiar with the manual disconnect for the operator (see Illustration
‘A’ below) and the safety features of the system.
4. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate.
II. During Installation
1. Be aware of all moving parts and avoid close proximity to any pinch points.
2. Place access controls (i.e. keypads, push buttons, etc.) far enough from the gate so that the user has full view of the
gate but cannot touch the gate while operating the controls. The recommended minimum distance between the gate
and any access control device is ten ft.
3. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and/or fence line. Do not install an operator on the public side/
outside of the gate.
4. Place the caution signs provided with the gate operator on each side of the gate or in high visibility areas to alert the
public of automatic gate operation. It is your responsibility to make sure the public is not exposed to a potentially
hazardous situation.
III. After Installation
1. You are responsible for explaining the basic operations and safety systems of the entire gate operator system, includ-
ing operation of the manual disconnect, to the end-user.
2. Review all the safety instructions with the end-user and leave this manual with them.
Manual Disconnect of Operator Arm
1. Turn control box "OFF".
2. Remove hairpin clip and clevis pin from the gate bracket and pull
operator arm away from the gate.
3. The gate can now be opened manually.

SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE CUSTOMER / END USER
Read and follow all safety precautions. Be certain you have thoroughly reviewed these safety precautions with your
installer:
1. Distribute safety instructions to all persons authorized to use the gate operator.
2. KEEP CLEAR OF THE GATE AND AREA OF GATE TRAVEL at all times. This automatic gate operator is not
for pedestrian use. If pedestrian traffic is expected near the gate, a walk-through gate should be installed for this
purpose.
3. Do not allow children or pets near the gate.
4. Do not activate the gate operator unless you can see it and can determine its area of travel is clear of children, pets
or any other obstructions.
5. If push buttons, keypads or keyswitches are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located far enough
from the gate (at least ten ft.) so the gate cannot be touched while in operation. Do not activate any control without
watching movement of the gate.
6. Do not use the sensitivity adjustments to compensate for a poorly installed or damaged gate. The gate should always
be maintained to operate manually as easily as possible; periodic gate/operator inspections and maintenance should
be scheduled. (See Maintenance and Troubleshooting, pages 33 and 34)
7. Have all safety systems checked periodically. If these functions are observed to operate improperly, discontinue use
and have operator serviced immediately.
8. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must receive detailed instructions on the operation of the manual discon-
nect. If you feel you haven’t received full and proper instructions, contact your installer.
9. It is your responsibility to make sure that the installer posted GTO's caution signs on both sides of your gate. If any
of these signs or caution decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact your
installer or GTO for replacement.
10. Read this manual and keep it for reference.

OTHER MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED BEFORE YOU START THE INSTALLATION:
Depending on the type of gate and fence post, you may need some additional materials/hardware.
Some of these items can be found in the GTO/PRO Accessory Catalog on page 37.
•All gates will need a stop post in the open position. This post is not provided. See page 14,
“Installation of Open and Closed Position Stops” for more information.
• Low voltage wire may be needed. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer
powersupplyandthecontrolbox.Seepage17,“PoweringtheSystem”andtheAccessoryCatalog,
page 37, for wire and solar charging panels.
• If the gate is more than 1000' away from an A.C. Power Source you will need to use one or more
GTOSolarPanelstoprovidethetricklechargetothebattery.SeetheAccessoryCatalog,page37.
• The diameter of the fence post should be at least 8" (round) or 6" (square) in order to mount the
postbracket(seepage10). Anoptional 4”bracketcanbeusedwith4”post,andmountingbracket
adapters must be used with 4" and 6" round posts. (See Accessory Catalog, page 37).
• Depending upon the diameter of the fence post, you may need longer carriage bolts than those
provided. Bolts should be at least 1" greater than the diameter of the fence post (see page 10).
• If using thin wall tube or panel gates, see page 12 for recommended reinforcement materials.
• A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to
the gate. See page 9.

Preparing the Gate
Step 1:
The gate must be in proper working order, plumb, level and swinging freely on its hinges. Do not use wheels on gate. The
gate must move smoothly and evenly throughout its swing, without binding or dragging on the ground. Gates over 250
lbs. must have ball bearing hinges with grease fittings.
Step 2:
The fence post must be strongly secured in the ground with
concrete so it will not twist or flex when the operator is
powered. It is important to position the operator near the
midline of the gate to keep the gate from twisting and
flexing. The addition of a horizontal or vertical cross
member may be necessary (if one is not already in place)
to provide a stable area to which the gate bracket can be
secured.
For the operator to perform properly, Steps 1 & 2 must
be complete before you go any further with the installa-
tion.
Single Gate /Pull-to-Open (Open-In)
The diagram below is an example of a single leaf, pull-to-open (open-in) installation on an ornamental iron gate. "Pull-to-
Open" is a gate which opens into the property. If you are installing a "Push-to-Open" (open-out) system (see page 31), or if
you are mounting the operator on a masonry column, please refer to page 36 before proceeding.

Installing The Post Bracket Assembly
The post bracket position determines the leverage of the
operator and the clearance between the operator and the
gate.
The post bracket is designed to work on a flat fence post.
Fence posts must be at least 6” square in order to mount
the post bracket.
NOTE: The best method of attaching the post bracket to
metal post is welding. Round wood posts (no smaller than
8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for
attaching the post bracket.
If bolts are used to mount the post bracket, the bolts must
completely penetrate the fence post. If your fence post is
greater than 8", it will be necessary to use carriage bolts
longer than those supplied. On wood posts use a metal
plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent
the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the
wood.
NOTE: If you have round metal gate posts that are 4” or
6” in diameter, optional mounting bracket adapters are
available, see Accessory Catalog on page 37.
The use of optional mounting brackets adapters may
require you to drill a few additional holes in the standard
post bracket depending on your application.
Step 3:
Close the gate and place your level against
the horizontal cross member. The top of the
level should be in the center of the cross
member and should overlap the fence post.
Scribe a line across the cross member and
fence post. You will use this line to help
determine position of gate and post brackets.

Step 6:
Place the rounded ends of post pivot brackets
inside the post bracket. Align the holes in the
post pivot brackets with holes in the post
bracket (see illustration). Insert 1/2" x 33/4" hex
head bolt through post pivot brackets and post
bracket; tighten the nut.
Step 5:
Drill holes in fence post as marked using a 1/2" drill
bit. Install the post bracket using the 1/2" x 10"
carriage bolts, 1/2" washers, and lock nuts (provided).
Step 4:
Position the post bracket on the fence post with the mounting holes
centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the
edge of the fence post closest to the gate (see illustration). Mark the
position of post bracket holes on the fence post.

IMPORTANT: Thin walled tube
and panel gates MUST be reinforced
as shown to prevent damage to gate
and/or operator.
Step 8:
Position rear mount between post pivot
brackets. Place 1/2" washers between
rear mount and post pivot brackets.
Align 1/2" hole in rear mount and
washers with holes in post pivot
brackets. Attach the rear mount to post
pivot brackets using 1/2" x 23/4" bolt
and 1/2" nut. Note: when tightening
the rear mount bolt, leave it loose
enough for the operator to pivot
freely.
Step 9:
Attach the gate bracket to operator arm
using the clevis pin and hairpin clip.
Step 7:
Tap the rear mount onto the back of the operator. Align the
3/8" hole in the rear mount with 3/8" hole in the back of the
operator and insert the 3/8" bolt through the holes and
secure it with the lock nut.

Step 10:
Open the gate to the desired position (at least 10º and no greater
than 110º). Position the operator arm so that the gate bracket
just rests against the gate. Check the clearance between the
operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact
with the gate at the gate bracket. However, there should not be
too much clearance between the operator and the gate, or the
operator will fully extend before it reaches the closed position.
See illustration at right for examples of clearance.
Step 11:
Now align spacer and post pivot brackets hole with the
post bracket hole that provides the best clearance. Insert
the 1/2" x 33/4" bolt through holes in post bracket, post
pivot brackets and spacer. When tightening the 1/2" nut,
leave it loose enough so that you can make adjustments
later.
Installing the Gate Bracket
Spacer
Step 12:
With the gate bracket clamped in the open position (no more than
110ofrom the closed position). Detach the operator arm from the
gate bracket. The mounting holes should be centered over the
scribe line. Drill the 3/8" holes in the gate cross member and attach
the gate bracket using the 3/8" bolts, washers and nuts. Reattach the
operator arm to the gate bracket. You have now established the
OPEN POSITION of the gate.
NOTE: Rotating the front mount at the end of the push-pull tube will change its length so
that the mount and gate bracket can be properly aligned with each other on the gate at the
best location (i.e. between or on pickets, on braces, mounting plate, etc.).

14
Step 14:
Remove the hairpin clip and clevis pin from the
gate bracket and move the gate so that you can
install the open position stop post. Secure stop
post firmly in the ground (and seat in concrete).
Installing the Open and Closed Position Stops
Open and closed position stops MUST be used; they are boundaries against which the operator firmly holds the gate in both the
open and closed positions. Stability in both the open and closed positions contributes to the long life of the operator and to the
durability of the installation. For additional stability and security, install the GTO Automatic Gate Lock (see Accessory Catalog
on page 37).
Step 13:
With the gate still in the open position, measure approxi-
mately 3/4 of the distance to the end of the gate from the
hinges and place a mark on the ground directly under the gate
(refer to the overview illustration below for positioning). You
will install an open-position stop post at this point. The open
position stop post can be made of wood, metal, or concrete.
Closed Position Stop

15
Step 15:
Close the gate. Position the closed position stop plate
on the end of the gate frame at mid-height. Extend the
stop plate to make contact with the fence post at that
position.
Install the closed position stop plate using appropriate
hardware for the type of gate (u-bolts for tube or chain
link gate, wood or lag screws for wood gates, etc.).
This hardware is not provided.
Reattach the arm to the gate bracket.
Installing the Control Box
Step 16:
Mount the control box using either the tywraps
provided, or other secure mounting system. The
control box should be mounted at least 3 feet
from any source of AC power to avoid unwanted
electrical interference and at least 2-3 feet above
the ground to protect from rain splash, snow, etc.

Step 17:
Turn the control box OFF. Remove the front cover of the control box. Slide
the battery into position with the terminals to the left. NEVER insert battery
with the terminals to the right. Be sure the battery fits snugly in the control
box. Connect the battery lead wires to the battery, red wire to (+) terminal,
black wire to (-) terminal. Pay careful attention to the color of the wire (not
the connectors). If the wires are connected incorrectly, it will damage the
control board.
HINT: a dab of household petroleum jelly on each
terminal will help prevent corrosion.
Step 20:
Be sure the power switch is OFF before continuing.

• The GTO transformer is intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged into an outside
electrical outlet, a weatherproof housing or cover (available at electrical supply stores) must be used.
•Solar power options are available; see Solar Chart on next page.
• All low voltage wire used for powering the GTO/PRO gate operators MUST be dual conductor, multi-
stranded, direct burial wire.
Step 21:
Choose the electrical outlet into which the transformer will be plugged. Measure the distance from the electrical outlet to
the control box, following the path where the low voltage wire will run (to prevent overpowering the charging circuit
it is important to use at least 10 ft. of wire; the maximum distance can be no more than 1000 ft.).

Maximum number of cycles in a 24 hour period
on a single gate with a 5 amp draw.
Predicting the exact maximum number of operational cycles at peak load is more of an art form than an exact science. The
above chart illustrates the average maximum number of cycles possible (the “MNC”) in a 24 hour period with a single gate
that weighs 1000 lbs. and is installed such that the motor draws 5 amps to move the gate (typical installation on ball bearing
hinges). Please keep the following variables in mind:
1) If the gate is binding, dragging, in high winds, or if ball bearing hinges are not used, it will require more than 5 amps to
move it; this will reduce the MNC. Gates weighing less than 1000 lbs. may have a higher MNC.
2) The above illustration is based on the transformer being plugged into an outlet that provides a line voltage of 120 volts; if
the outlet provides less than 120 volts (for example, some rural areas may only provide 108 volts), it can significantly
reduce the MNC (as much as 50%).
3) A fully charged battery has an inherent reserve of 50-100 cycles without requiring a charge. This allows peak loads
at several points during the day, depending upon how much time the transformer has to provide a charge to the battery
between cycles. The transformer is capable of fully recharging the battery in as little as five minutes at optimum condi-
tions.
4) The above chart is based upon an ambient temperature of 40º F. Battery performance and speed at which it will recharge
will fluctuate based upon temperature.
5) The MNC for the GTO/PRO 2000 is roughly comparable to most AC powered operators, and the transformer provided
with this operator should handle most high traffic situations. If the battery does not seem to be able to provide the constant
charge required for your application, the addition of a deep cycle marine battery should provide ample power to handle
any situation. For more information, call GTO’s service department.
6) The MNC with dual gate applications will be about half of those with a single gate.

18
Step 23:
Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief on the
control box. Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the
screw on the side of the strain relief to secure wires.
Step 22:
Install at least 10 ft. of low voltage wire (see Accessory Catalog, page
37) to connect the control box to the transformer. This wire should be
buried in a trench. Wires coming from the ground to the control box
should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mowers,
weed eaters and grazing animals. Do not use telephone wire or any
solid core wire. Never splice wires together!
This table and map illustrates the maximum
number of cycles per day to be expected in a
particular area, using GTO’s 10 watt solar panels
(see Accessory Catalog, page 37). Figures are
shown for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not
account for use of any accessory items. Accesso-
ries will draw additional power from the battery.

Important Information About Low Voltage Wire
The only wire recommended for use with GTO products is GTO’s 16 gauge, multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC
sheathed wire. This particular gauge will enable the transformer to provide an adequate charge to the control board
from as far away as 1000 ft.
Do not use telephone wire or and solid core wire. This wire does not work as well as the multi-stranded and can
cause the operator system to go into low voltage lockout.
Never splice wires together. Splicing will seriously reduce the wire’s ability to carry an adequate current and it
provides a weak point for corrosion.
NOTE: A maximum of
four 10 watt solar panels
can be connected to the
GTO/PRO 2000 series of
operators.

19
Step 25:
Strip 1/2" off the ends of the low voltage wire and attach ends to the transformer terminals;
red lead to (RED), black lead to (BLK).
A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion.
We suggest terminating wire ends by installing crimp-on connectors (not provided) before
attaching to proper terminals.
Be certain wire ends do not touch each other!
Step 26:
Plug in the transformer.
We strongly recommend using a surge protector.
HINT: keeping a few mothballs in the control box will prevent insects from entering the control box and
damaging the PC board.
Step 24:
Strip 1/4" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist
each wire end tightly. Attach these ends to the control
board at the terminal strip marked "TRANSFORMER".
Do not let the wire ends touch each other!
Insert the RED wire into the RED TRANSFORMER
terminal block and the BLACK wire to the BLACK
TRANSFORMER terminal block.
Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab
of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help
prevent corrosion.

Feature S2 - Obstruction Sensitivity
This feature determines the amount of force exerted by the operator (and gate) on an obstruction before the operator stops or
reverses. The less sensitive the setting (S1 and S2), the more force the gate will exert on the obstruction before the operator
stops and reverses. The more sensitive the setting (S4 and S5), the less force the operator will exert against the obstruction
before stopping and reversing.
NOTE: The factory setting is set for the most sensitive (S5) setting, because this is the safest setting. However, the less
sensitive settings (S1 and S2) may be necessary for heavy gates and gates with significant wind resistance. Determine what
force it takes to stop the gate at each of the five settings, then decide which of the settings works best for your installation.
Programming Buttons
There are 5 programming buttons on the control board,
labeled S1-S5. These programming buttons serve a dual
purpose:(1) to select one of the 5 features
(2) to select different settings for each
of these 5 features
Please read these instructions completely before attempting to program the gate operator.
Features and Settings
Before you begin programming, learn about the five features and each of their settings.
Feature S1 - Type of Installation
The factory setting is for a single operator, pull-to-open (open-in), installation on a single gate.
If you are installing a dual operator, pull-to-open system, you MUST select the Dual Gate Pull-to-Open setting (S3). See
additional instructions on Dual Gate Programming on page 30.
For push-to-open (open-out) installations you MUST select either Single Gate Push-to-Open setting (S2) or Dual Gate Push-
to-Open setting (S4). See additional instructions on Push-to-Open on page 31.
All GTO/PRO operators are pre-programmed with the same factory settings for the following features:
Type Of Installation: Single gate, pull-to-open;
Obstruction Sensitivity: Most sensitive;
Auto Close: Closes automatically 60 seconds after opening;
Gate Sequence: Single gate opens by itself;
If these settings are correct for your installation, you do not need to do any programming. It will only be necessary to
program those particular features you want to change from the factory settings.
If no programming will be done, proceed to page 23, Step 28.
Programming the System
Step 27:
Remember it's always safest to use the MOST sensitive setting possible.
Do not use obstruction sensitivity to compensate for an improperly installed gate!
