User manual GTO PRO-SW 1500

[. . . ] Installation Manual for the 1500 Automatic Gate Operator This equipment is similar to other gate or door equipment and meets or exceeds Underwriters Laboratory Standard 325 (UL 325). However, gate equipment has hazards associated with its use and therefore by installing this product the installer and user accept full responsibility for following and noting the installation and safety instructions. Failure to follow installation and safety instructions can result in hazards developing due to improper assembly. You agree to properly install this product and that if you fail to do so GTO, Inc. [. . . ] from an ac power source, you will need to use at least one 5 watt Solar Panel to charge the battery (see Accessory Catalog). Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate Activity chart below. NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME ­ it willl damage the control board ­ Solar Panel and Gate Activity Chart The table and map illustrate the maximum number of gate cycles to expect per day in a particular area when using from 5 to 30 watts of solar charging power. The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account for the use of any accessory items. Accessories connected to your system will draw additional power from the battery and will require additional solar panels. NOTE: A maximum of 30 watts of solar charging power can be connected to the GTO/PRO SW 1500. Consult Solar Panel Installation Instructions for further information.

Battery Harness Connector ON/OFF Control Board Access Cover Step 1 Battery Harness Connector Control Board ON/O FF 10 Foot Power Cable 20 ON/OFF Switch Receiver Wires Step 2 RED to POSITIVE BLACK to NEGATIVE Place the 12 Volt automotive or marine type battery and its weatherproof case within 6 feet of the fence post where the opener arm is mounted. Step 3 Attach the 10 foot battery harness wires provided, to the terminals of the battery. Take care to attach the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE terminal and the RED wire to the POSITIVE terminal. Reverse connection will cause damage to the control board. Step 4 ON/ IMPORTANT: Make sure the power switch on the opener arm is in the OFF position. Run the plug end of the Wire Harness wire up to the opener arm and plug it into the battery harness connector coming from the control board. OFF Battery Harness Connector 10 foot Harness From Battery 20 ON/O FF 19 IMPORTANT: Deailed Wire Routing Diagrams ON/OFF Receiver Wire The battery harness wire has an in-line 20 Amp fuse that must be placed inside the opener when connecting the battery to the opener. The illustration to the right shows the best placement for the battery harness wire, connector and in-line fuse. ON/O FF Battery Harness Wire Battery Harness In-Line 20 Amp Fuse (included) Battery Harness Connectors 20 The wires from the battery harness, receiver, transformer or solar panel, and any accessories that have been installed must be routed down the sides of the opener and flatly out the strain relief slot in the back of the opener. It is IMPORTANT that the wires lay flat and run inside the routing pins at the back of the opener and out the strain relief slot without being pinched when the control board access cover is replaced. See the illustrations to the right and below. To avoid stripping screw holes - tightening screws by hand with a hand held screwdriver is recommended. MIghty Mule 350 Wire Routing ON/OFF ­o Routing Pin Neatly arrange all wires to lay flat as they come out of the opener. Strain Relief Slot If you have any questions please call GTO Technical Service at 1-800-543-1236. Battery Harness Wires Transformer Wires Receiver Wires Accessory Wires 20 Connecting the Transformer IMPORTANT: Never connect the transformer and a solar panel to the operator control board at the same time. If you are using SOLAR PANEL(S) to charge the operator battery, skip this section and go to "Connecting Solar Panel(s)" section on page 22. 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. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE DO NOT use telephone wire or solid core wire. Unlike multi-stranded wire, these types of wire are inadequate for use with your gate operator system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate operator 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 5 Select the 120 Volt electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Lay the 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 mowers, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to bury the wire laid in the trench. Step 6 Bring enough wire up through the PVC conduit to allow for gate movement from open to closed position. See example right. GTO indoor Transformer (surge protector not supplied) Run 1000' (max. ) of low voltage wire to control board from transformer (wire not included). PVC conduit (not included) to protect wire from lawn mowers and weed eaters. 21 15 ON GRN SAFETY AUX OUT Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. SOLAR PANEL COMMON EXIT EDGE CYCLE RCVR Low Voltage Wire from Transformer Step 8 At the AC outlet strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. [. . . ] It can be programmed to use up to 25 different personal identification number (PIN) codes. Each code is face programmable with additional security features built in. Wired installations require 16 gauge, low voltage, multi-stranded, dual conductor, direct burial wire (sold separately). Requires 3 AA batteries (not included). GTO/PRO 50' EXIT WAND (FM139), 100' EXIT WAND (FM140), 150' EXIT WAND (FM141) The GTO/PRO® Exit Wand is designed for residential and agricultural applications and is compatible with all GTO/PRO® automatic gate operator models.
