PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!
Thank you for purchasing a
GTO/PRO-SW2502
When correctly installed and properly used, your
GTO/PRO-
SW2502 Operator
will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you
have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your
GTO/PRO-
SW2502 Automatic Gate Operator
.
The
GTO/PRO-SW2502 Operator
is designed for installation on
pull-to-open gates
(gates that open
into
the
property). By purchasing an
accessory bracket
, the
GTO/PRO-SW2502 Operator
can accommodate
push-to-open
gates (
gates that open
out
from the property). The gates must not exceed 6 feet in length (per leaf) nor weigh more
than 500 pounds (per leaf) (please see
Technical Specifications
on page 0). The
GTO/PRO-SW2502 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 operator will
obstruct and stop.
The
GTO/PRO-SW2502 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.
The
GTO/PRO-SW2502 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-SW2502 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.
