ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES

After the operator is installed, adjust the open and closed position limit switches as needed. The limit switches determine how far the gate travels to open and to close.

Adjust the limit switches using the limit nuts. Lift limit switch plate to adjust limit nuts (see Illustration M).

The open and closed position switches will be reversed depending on whether the gate opens from left to right or from right to left (see Illustration N).

!WARNING! In order to adjust switches, the control box must be ON. USE EXTREME CAUTION when adjusting limit switches to prevent fingers, hair, clothing, etc., from getting caught under the limit switch plate and possibly causing bodily injury.

If your gate opens from Right to Left:

1.Gate Opening: For gate to open further, turn Limit Nut A counterclockwise. For gate to open less, turn Limit Nut A clockwise.

2.Gate Closing: For gate to close further, turn Limit Nut B counterclockwise. For gate to close less, turn Limit Nut B clockwise.

However, if your gate opens from Left to Right:

1.Gate Opening: For gate to open further, turn Limit Nut B counterclockwise. For gate to open less, turn Limit Nut B clockwise.

2.Gate Closing: For gate to close further, turn Limit Nut A counterclockwise. For gate to close less, turn Limit Nut A clockwise.

Once the limit switches are adjusted, make sure the limit switch plate rests in the grooves on both limit nuts.

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.
