POTENTIOMETERS

The three (3) potentiometers on the control board operate like a volume control on a radio. They control the auto close timer, inertia, and obstruction sensitivity of the operator. Use a small slotted screwdriver to turn the arrow in the center of the potentiometer. Clockwise rotation increases the setting (MAX). Counterclockwise rotation decreases the setting (MIN).

INERTIA

AUTO CLOSE (auto close timer): Determines how long the gate will remain open before it automatically closes. The limits are OFF to 120 seconds. The factory setting is OFF.

INERTIA: Fine tunes obstruction sensitivity in the opening and closing modes. INERTIA allows the operator to attempt to push an obstruction clear of the gate path. When INERTIA is set to MIN the operator will obstruct

quickly (i.e, will attempt to push an obstruction briefly); when set to MAX the operator will obstruct slowly (i.e., will push against an obstruct for a longer period). The factory setting is MIN.

OBSTRUCT SENS. (obstruction sensitivity): Determines the amount of force exerted by the gate on an obstruction before the operator stops and reverses. The gate will exert minimum force before obstructing when set to MIN. When

set to MAX, the operator will exert maximum gate force before obstructing (i.e., the operator will require greater resistance before stopping and revers- ing.). The factory setting is MIN.

READ WARNING BELOW!

NOTE: Heavy gates and gates with high wind resistance may require the OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer to be set closer to MAX to prevent the operator from obstructing. Keep in mind, however, that while you must determine the best setting for smooth gate operation, you must ALSO deter- mine the lowest possible setting for safe gate operation.

ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR SERVICING

YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATOR!

WARNING!

All three potentiometers were set to minimum at the factory. The OBSTRUCT SENS. potentiometer MUST be adjusted above the factory setting for your GTO/PRO SL-1000 or SL- 2000 operator to function properly. If the potentiometer is left at MIN, your gate operator may "obstruct" (i.e., stop and reverse) as soon as it is activated.

BE SURE TO PROPERLY RETEST THE GATE OPERATOR AFTER MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS; FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

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.
