BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR:
Read these instructions
carefully and completely
to become
familiar with all parts and installation steps.
You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on
gate operator safety and proper use of the gate operator.
Thank you for purchasing a
GTO/PRO® 2002XL
When correctly installed and properly used, your
GTO/PRO®
2002XL Operator
will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information and watch the
enclosed videotape to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. Furthermore, this manual and the
videotape will enable you to properly install your
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Automatic Gate Operator
.
The
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator
is designed for installation on a
pull-to-open dual leaf gate
(gates that open
into
the property). By purchasing an
accessory bracket
, the
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator
can accommodate a
push-to-open
dual leaf gate (
gates that open
out
from the property). The gate must not exceed 2 feet in length and
weigh more than 400 pounds per leaf (please see
Technical Specifications
on page 0). The
GTO/PRO® 2002XL
Operator
can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. Use on solid (wood) gates is
not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the opener will
obstruct and stop.
The
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator
accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons,
automatic gate locks, and other access control products. These optional accessories (see the enclosed
GTO/PRO®
Accessory Catalog
) are available at most stores. Your store should be able to special order any accessory not in stock.
If your store cannot special order accessories, please call the GTO Sales Department (800-543-GATE).
The
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator
features
adjustable obstruction sensing.
This safety feature makes the gate
stop and reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction.
MIN
is the factory setting;
meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.
The
GTO/PRO® 2002XL Operator
also has an
adjustable auto-close feature
. After the gate reaches the fully open
position, it can be set to remain open up to 20 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button
at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately.
OFF
is the factory setting; meaning the gate
will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.

If your application requires any of the following:
Swing gates longer than 8 feet or weighing more than 850 pounds;
