User manual GTO PRO-SW 2500

[. . . ] Installation Manual for the 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. [. . . ] 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 opener system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate opener 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 3 Lay the measured length of 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 mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to bury the wire laid in the trench. Step 4 Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief opening on the lower left of the control box. Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the strain relief screw to secure the wires. WARNING!DO NOT PLUG THE TRANSFORMER INTO AN OUTLET DURING THIS STEP!THE TRANSFORMER MUST ONLY BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET DURING STEP 7! Low Voltage Wire from Transformer Power Cable from Opener Arm PVC Pipe RED BLACK ~~ 18VAC Step 5 ­ + NC RLY-COM NO SOLAR RELAY OUT Strip 3/16" off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach these ends to the 18VAC terminals located on the POWER IN terminal block (see illustration at right). Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each other!Insert one transformer wire into an 18VAC terminal. Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining 18VAC terminal. The transformer wires can be connected to the 18VAC terminals regardless of color. Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. Low Voltage Wire from AC Transformer GRN WHT BLUE BRN ORG RED BLK SLAVE INPUTS MASTER INPUTS SWITCH GRN WHT BLUE BRN ORG RED BLK Power Cable from First Operator 20 Step 6 Strip 1/2" of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. Attach these stripped ends to the transformer terminals. A dab of household petroleum jelly on each terminal will help prevent corrosion. Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other! Step 7 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. (Use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly recommended. ) HINT: Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board. 21 SURGE PROTECTOR Transformer CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS DIP Switches Main DIP Switch Settings (MODES) DIP Switch #1 - Soft Start/Stop The Soft Start/Stop feature slowly starts the gate as it begins to open and slows the gate as it comes to the closed position. This saves wear and tear on the gate and gate opener system. DIP Switch #2 - Warning Buzzer The Warning Buzzer alerts you when the gate opener is beginning to either open or close the gate. [. . . ] radius of detection of vehicles in motion. Automatic Gate Lock Pull-to-Open (FM144) A MUST for added security. Unlocks and locks automatically as gates open and close. Used with GTO/PRO® DC swing gate operating systems for maximum stability and security. [. . . ]
