Obstruction Sensitivity Potentiometer

IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the obstruction setting or Stall Force on the GTO/PRO control board comes from

MIN (minimum). In many gate installations this be adjusted to overcome the weight and size of the

TThe Stall Force potentiometer on the control board volume control on a radio. It controls the obstruction the amount of force the opener will apply to an automatically stops and reverses direction for seconds.

Use a small slotted screwdriver to turn the arrow in the center of the potentiometer. Adjust the sen- sitivity from the MINIMUM position where the gate operates without obstructing from its own weight or the wind conditions in your area.

NOTE: You may need to increase the stall force in cold weather due to increased resistance from gate hinges.

Installing the Receiver

Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it.

Consider the following when mounting the receiver:

• Standard receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable!

•Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.

•DO NOT run cable through metal conduit because the receiver signal range will be decreased.

•DO NOT run cable in conduit containing ac wiring.

•DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range.

• The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference.

• DO NOT mount upside down.
