The GTO/PRO 1000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. The operator is designed to stop and
reverse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, even when
properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances. To augment your protection
against entrapment, GTO suggests using safety edge sensors or photoelectric sensors. When installed, safety edges (or
photoelectric sensors) must be mounted in compliance with UL 325, Underwriters Laboratories safety standard for gate
operators. Review page 4 for information about mounting requirements for safety edges ("contact sensors") and photoelectric
sensors ("non-contact sensors").
Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions for information about installing these devices on a vehicular gate.
Make sure the control box power switch is OFF before connecting safety device wiring to the terminal blocks.
Insert the safety device wires into the CLS EDG terminal (located on the FIRST OPERATOR terminal block) for
the gate closing mode. Connect the safety device ground wire to the GRN terminal. Connect the safety device wires
for the gate opening mode to the OPN EDG terminal in the same manner.
If your are installing a dual gate system, connect the safety device wires to the CLS EDG and OPN EDG terminals
on the SECOND OPERATOR terminal block as described above.
MAKE SURE TO GROUND THE SAFETY DEVICES AT THE GRN TERMINAL! THE CONTROL
BOARD COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT GROUNDED!
PLEASE NOTE: Safety edge sensors and photoelectric sensors are neither included with nor required for the
GTO/PRO 1000 series gate operators.
