GTO UL325 SERIES Connecting the Transformer, Important Information about LOW Voltage Wire

Connecting the Transformer

IMPORTANT: Never connect the transformer and a solar panel to the opener control board at the same time. It will damage the control board.

If you are using SOLAR PANEL(S) to charge the opener battery, skip this section and go to "Connecting Solar Panel(s)" section on page 23.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT LOW VOLTAGE WIRE

The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge 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 opener 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 5

Select the 120 Volt electrical outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Lay the low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mowers, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Be sure to bury the wire laid in the trench.

Step 6

Bring enough wire up through the PVC conduit to allow for gate movement from open to closed position. See example right.
