ALSO, YOU WILL NEED THESE ITEMS BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION (Some of these
items can be found in the Accessory Catalog on page 42):
•
The gate needs a stop post for the open position. This post is not provided. See page 16, Installation of the
Positive Stops for more information.
•
Additional low voltage wire (16 gauge) will be needed; length depends upon the distance between the
transformer power supply and the control box. See page 20, Powering the System and the Accessory Catalog.
•
If your gate is more than 1000' away from an ac power source you will need to use at least one GTO Solar
Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.
•
If your fence post is made of wood and is less than 6" in diameter or 6" square, see page 14.
•
If your fence post is larger than 6" in diameter you will need threaded rods or carriage bolts longer than
8". See page 15.
•
If you have thin walled tube or panel gates, see page 14 for Recommended Reinforcement Examples.
•
Depending on the type of gate, a horizontal cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the
front of the operator and gate bracket to the gate. See page 11, step 2; page 15, step 10.
•
Power cables 25' and 40' long are available for mounting your control box away from the gate (i.e., in a more
secure location). See the Accessory Catalog.
