DETERMINING THE MOUNTING POSITION AND MOUNTING THE OPERATOR

brackets (see Illustration C). Tie a string to the end of each quick

release pin so that the string is tight between the two chain brackets (the

 

 

string will be used to align the operator). The string should be 7Ó-10Ó

 

 

from the ground (see Illustration B). The chain brackets can be adjusted

 

 

up or down on the gate to achieve the proper height. The goal here is

 

 

to set the height of the operator so that when the housing is in place it

 

 

will clear the ground by 1Ó to 4Ó (see Illustration E).

STEP 4

 

 

 

Find the center point between the two roller/fence posts (see Illustration D). This should coincide with the position of the center point of the operator. Dig a hole approximately 12Ó x 28Ó wide x 28Ó deep. Place the operator in the hole on its legs and position the bottom idler sprockets on the top of the string and level the unit (see Illustration E). Make sure operator is level and plumb. With the unit level and in place, pour the concrete and let set for 24 hours (checking the level periodically) before proceeding to the next step.

BEFORE POURING CONCRETE: 1] Make sure operator is centered between roller posts and aligned with string; and, 2] Determine method of installing conduit for wiring (see page 13)!

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.
