GPX-SL25 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DRIVE

 

 

•  Powered by a 12 V motor with integral case hardened steel gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 90 rpm. 

 

•  Gate velocity: 1 ft/second.

POWER

 

•  Two blade style fuses rated for 20 A.

  

NOTE: 

The transformer or the solar panel should not be connected directly to any battery

. Transformer must be 

connected to the control board with a minimum of 16 gauge, stranded, dual conductor, direct burial low voltage 

wire. Do not replace fuses with higher ampere rated fuses; doing so will void the warranty and may damage the 

control board.

 

•   Solar charge maintained by GTO Solar Panel Charger.

CONTROL

 

•   Auto-memorization of digital transmitter code. Charging regulated by circuit on control board. “Sleep draw” is 40 

mA; “active draw” is 5 to 13 A.

 

•  GTO remote-mounted RF receiver tuned to 318 MHz.

 

•  Limit controls are mechanical.  Normally open contact.

 

•  Adjustable auto-close timer (OFF 3 to 120 s), inertia, and obstruction sensitivity using three (3) potentiometers. 

 

•  Power terminal block accommodates a transformer or solar panels.

 

•  Operator terminal blocks accommodate safety edges and photoelectric sensors for opening and closing modes.

 

•  Accessory terminal block fully compatible with push button controls, digital keypads, loop detectors, etc.

 

•  Control board allows connection of safety edge sensors and photoelectric sensors.

 

•  Audio entrapment alarm sounds if unit encounters an obstruction twice while opening or closing.

OPERATIONAL RATINGS

 

•  The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the GPX-SL25 Automatic Gate 

Operators when powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the type and 
condition of gate and installation.

 

•  The GPX-SL25 will handle gates weighing up to 650 lb. (294.8 kg) and up to 24 ft. (7.32 m) in length (per leaf) if 

the proper installation procedures have been followed. Note that ball bearing rollers and covers should be used 

on all gates.

 

•   Temperature range -5 °F to +120 °F.

 

  To determine the number of cycles the gate opener will perform using solar panels, please see the specifications 

listed on page 1.

* These specificaitons 

are subject to change 

without notice.

An operation cycle is on 

full opening and closing 

of the gate.
