The GHOST CONTROLS
®
Automatic Gate Opener
can be installed on a pull-to-open application with the
items included in the kit. For push-to-open applica-
tions you will need to purchase the required Push-To-
Open (item AXPO) bracket kit from your local retailer
or visit

This GHOST CONTROLS
®
Automatic Gate Opener
features a patent-pending SafeForce
®
power limiting
feature that doesn’t require Photo Eyes for entrapment
protection in most applications of a properly installed
gate. During installation, you may instead choose to use
external monitored safety devices such as non-contact
photo eyes (item AXPE sold separately) and will need
to enable this setting on the main system controller
during setup.
4.
The operator can be used on a variety of gate types,
but
CAN NOT BE USED ON SOLID OR WOOD
PANEL GATES. Solid panel gates have a higher
resistance to wind and may result in damage to the
automatic gate operator.
5.
All GHOST CONTROLS
®
Automatic Gate Operators
include automatic reversing safety features that will
make the gates stop and reverse direction within 2 sec-
onds of encountering an obstruction. There is a manual
setting on the main gate operator control board labeled
Force Setting that adjusts the sensitivity of this feature.

This GHOST CONTROLS
®
Automatic Gate
Operator can be enhanced with additional GHOST

®
accessories such as our remote
transmitters, keypads, and all other accessories,
sold separately. (Accessories see page 64).
