Solar Zones and Gate Activity

This table and map illustrates the maximum number of cycles per day to be expected in a particular area, using GTO’s 10 watt solar panels (see Accessory Catalog). Figures are shown for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account for use of any accessory items. Accessories will draw additional power from the battery.

Important Information About Low voltage Wire

The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge (minimum) multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC sheathed wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft.

DO NOT use telephone wire or solid core wire. Unlike multi-stranded wire, these types of wire are inadequate for use with your gate opener system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate operator to function and will cause the system to go into a condition known as "low voltage lockout."

Never splice wires together. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an adequate current.

Step 22:

Install low voltage wire (see Accessory Catalog) to connect the control box to the transformer. This wire should be buried in a trench. Wires coming from the ground to the control box should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mowers, weed eaters and grazing animals. Do not use telephone wire or any solid core wire. Never

splice wires together!

Step 23:

Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief on the control box. Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the screw on the side of the strain relief to secure wires.
