CONNECTING SAFETY DEVICES

The GTO/PRO SL-1000 and SL-2000 series operators are equipped with built-in obstruction sensitivity. These operators are designed to stop and reverse the gate for 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. However, obstruction sensitivity, even when properly adjusted, may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury. For this reason, safety edges or photoelectric sensors MUST be installed on the gate. Safety edges (or photoelectric sensors) must be mounted in compliance with Underwriters LaboratoriesÕ safety standard for gate operators, UL 325. Review page 6 for information about mounting requirements for safety edges and photo- electric sensors.

Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions for information about installing these devices on a vehicular gate.

Make sure the control box power switch is OFF before connecting safety device wiring to the terminal blocks.

Insert the safety device wires into the CLS EDG terminal (located on the FIRST OPERATOR terminal block) for the gate closing mode. Ground the safety device at the GRN terminal. Connect the safety device wires for the gate opening mode to the OPN EDG terminal in the same manner.

MAKE SURE TO GROUND THE SAFETY DEVICES AT THE GRN TERMINAL! THE CONTROL BOARD COULD BE DAMAGED IF THE SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT GROUNDED!

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.
