IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SECONDARY MEANS OF PROTECTION AGAINST ENTRAPMENT As specified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 325 (31.1.1), 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. The GTO/PRO SL-1000/2000 and GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B gate opera

SINGLE GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION GATE PREPARATION Be sure the gate is properly installed and slides smoothly before installing the GTO/PRO Slide Gate Operator. The gate must be plumb, level, and move freely. The gate must not bind or drag on the ground. Never use a wheel on the gate, because the additional drag and resistance can cause the operator to obstruct.

INSTALLATION OF THE GTO TRANSFORMER CONT. 2) If the gate is binding or dragging, or if ball bearing rollers are not used, it will require more than 10 amps to move it. This will reduce the MNC. 3) The charts are 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 105 volts), it can reduce the MNC by as much as 50%. 4) A fully charged standard battery has an inhe
