IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE GTO/PRO SL-1000/2000 AND GTO/PRO SL-1000B/2000B

AUTOMATIC SLIDE GATE OPERATORS

Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, all system designers, installers, and consumers have an obligation to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained gate operator systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system. Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety.

This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the system designer, installer, and consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS,

WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.

The precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol.

The symbol identifies the conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death.

Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of a total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the designer, installer, and purchaser to ensure the total system is safe for its intended use. Bypassing safety devices or neglecting to use safety devices with the gate operator is NOT acceptable.

TO MANUALLY OPEN AND CLOSE THE GATE, FOLLOW

THE PROCEDURE BELOW:

CAUTION: Disconnect the operator chain ONLY when the gate is NOT moving.

1. Lift the quick release pins UP, then pull them OUT of the chain brackets (see illustration).

2.Lay the chain down and manually slide the gate to the desired position.

To prevent unauthorized removal of the quick release pins, install pin locks (see accessory catalog) above the quick release pins in both chain brackets.

Chain Bracket (204IH)

Quick Release Pin (211IH)

SL-1000, SL-2000 specifications

The GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are advanced gate operators designed for efficient and reliable automation of heavy-duty swing gates. These models are renowned for their robust construction and innovative technologies that enhance both performance and security.

The SL-2000 is particularly suited for large, dual-swing gates weighing up to 2,000 pounds, making it a perfect choice for commercial and industrial settings. In comparison, the SL-1000 is designed for lighter gates that weigh up to 1,000 pounds, suitable for residential and light commercial applications. Both models are engineered to provide smooth, quiet operation, which is vital for residential areas where noise reduction is essential.

One of the standout features of both the SL-2000 and SL-1000 is their advanced DC motor technology. This allows for variable speed operation, providing a slower, more controlled movement during the opening and closing cycles. Such functionality not only enhances safety but also minimizes wear and tear on the gate mechanism, ensuring longevity.

Both models are equipped with obstacle detection technology that halts the gate's movement if an obstruction is encountered. This safety feature helps prevent accidents and damage, a critical aspect in environments where individuals and vehicles are present.

In terms of installation, the GTO SL series is designed for ease of use, featuring a straightforward setup process with clear instructions and minimal tools required. Additionally, the SL-2000 and SL-1000 include a built-in rechargeable battery backup, ensuring that the gate operates even during power outages.

Security is a top priority with both gate operators. They incorporate rolling code technology in their remote controls, which changes the access code with each activation, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Furthermore, the SL series supports multiple remote controls, allowing for convenient access for users while maintaining security.

Durability is another hallmark of the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000. Both operators are built with weather-resistant materials, ensuring they can withstand various environmental conditions. This resilience makes them a solid investment for long-term use.

In conclusion, the GTO SL-2000 and SL-1000 are state-of-the-art gate operators that combine cutting-edge technology with superior safety features, making them a reliable choice for enhancing the automation of swing gates in diverse applications. Their ease of installation, robust construction, and advanced functionalities are significant advantages for property owners seeking secure and efficient access solutions.
