BEFORE YOU BEGIN...
1. Determine Charging Option for Battery: Transformer OR Solar
NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME.
It will damage the control board.
IMPORTANT:
• The GPX-SL25 12 volt battery must be charged by either connecting the transformer (included) or
solar panel kit [FM123] to the control board.
• The transformer is designed for indoor use. If the transformer can be plugged only into an outside
electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover/housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be
used.
• If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an AC power source, you will need to use at least 10 watts
solar charging power to charge the battery [FM123]. Refer to the Solar Panel and Gate Activity
chart below.
• All low voltage wire used with the GTO Gate Operator must be 16 gauge dual conductor, stranded,
direct burial wire [RB509].
Do not
run more than 1000 ft. of wire.
• Two GTO 12 volt batteries [RB500] are required for the GPX-SL25 to run on solar power.

The table and map
illustrate the maximum
number of gate cycles
to expect per day in a
particular area when
using from 10 to 20 watts
of solar charging power.
The figures shown are
for winter (minimum
sunlight).
Accessories connected to your system
will draw additional power from
the battery.
NOTE:
A minimum of 10 watts, maximum
of 20 watts charging power is needed to
charge the batteries.
