TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Maintenance:

•On all gates weighing 250 lb. or more, routinely grease the ball bearing rollers at least 4 times a year; grease more frequently if the gates are near a coastal area.

•Keep a few mothballs in the control box to discourage insects from entering it and damaging the control board.

•Have your gate operator tested monthly and serviced regularly by an experienced technician. The gate MUST stop and reverse on contact with an obstruction or when an object activates the non-contact sensors. If these functions are observed to operate improperly, discontinue use and have operator serviced immediately.

The operator has a 12 Vdc motor with mechanical limit switches.

•To test the motor, put a voltmeter on DC and place the meter leads on the wire connections inside the plastic cover above the switches. The reading should be at least 11.5 V when the system is active. If it is not, see The Control Board section

•To test the switches, put the meter on Òohms.Ó Place the leads on each of the wires on the switch. You should have an open circuit. Click the switch and you should have .2 ohms. Do this for both switches.

•To test the cable, put the meter on ohms. At one end of the cable place the lead on the green wire, and on the other end of the cable place the lead on the green wire and the other wires. This should show a maximum of 1.0 ohms on the green wire and nothing on the other wires. Test each wire as you have above. If all have the proper readings, then this is not the problem.

•Note: Inspect the cable for any signs of any punctures because wires inside the PVC jacket can be shorted and the cable will still show proper ohms.

The control board: This is a micro processor board. The power that runs the gate is from the battery and recharged, through the board only, by a 18 volt 40 VA. (2.9 A) transformer.

There is one (1) green and one (1) red LED (light emitting diode) on the control board. They are for a quick reference only. All readings must be measured by a voltmeter!

The red light serves two purposes. The first is to aid in storing the personal transmitter code. See ÒSetting the Personal Transmitter CodeÓ.

The second is to show the condition of the battery. If it is flashing, see the following section on Ò Testing the battery.Ó The normal state of this light is on, but dim.

If the red LED is flashing it means that the system may have reached low voltage lockout; the unit does not have enough voltage to operate the system. One of the following problems may exist:

¥Broken or spliced wires from the transformer or solar panel to the control board.

¥A transformer or solar panel that has no output voltage.

¥Incorrect number of solar panels, or solar panels not properly hooked up.

The green light serves as a quick visual indication that the control board is receiving power from the transformer.

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.
