DRIVE
• Low friction screw drive (linear actuator) rated for -5 ºF to +160 ºF (-28 ºC to +71 ºC).
• Powered by a 12 V motor with integral case hardened steel gear reducer. Motor speed reduced to 260 rpm. Generates
680 ft. lb. of torque at 12 V.
• Maximum opening arc of 110º. Approximate opening time (90º): 20 seconds, depending on weight of gate.
POWER
• The system is powered by a 12 Vdc, 7.0 Ah, sealed, rechargeable lead acid battery.
• Battery charge is maintained by a 120 Vac input, 18 Vac output transformer rectified to 14.5 Vdc (40 VA) through the
GTO/PRO control board. One (1) blade-style control board fuse is rated for 25 A.
NOTE: The transformer should not be
directly
connected to any battery. Do not replace fuses
with higher ampere rated fuses; doing so will void your warranty and may damage your control board.
• Battery charge is maintained by
a GTO/PRO Solar Panel Charger: float voltage of 14.5 Vdc output is from a 19

" silicon alloy panel. Generates a minimum of 5 W at 300 mA. A gated diode on the control board prevents
battery discharge.
CONTROL
•
GTO/PRO
microprocessor-based control board is set for single leaf, pull-to-open gate installations. DIP switches
can be adjusted to accommodate an optional kit for push-to-open gates (
see Accessory Catalog
).
• Control board has temperature compensated circuits.
• A circuit on the control board regulates charging. "Sleep draw" is 40 mA; "active draw" is 2 to 5 A.
• Auto-memorization of digital transmitter code.
• GTO/PRO remote-mounted RF receiver tuned to 318 MHz.
• Opener length with push-pull tube fully retracted is 40

", mounting point to mounting point.
• Adjustable auto-close timer, and obstruction sensitivity.
• Power terminal block accommodates a transformer or solar panels.
• DIP switches simplify setup of gate opener.
• Accessory terminal block is fully compatible with push button controls, digital keypads, safety loops, 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 CAPACITY
• The Gate Capacity Chart shows approximate cycles, per day, you can expect from the GTO/PRO SW-2500 Auto-
matic Gate Operator when powered with a transformer. Actual cycles may vary slightly depending upon the type and
condition of gate and installation.
