GTO Low Voltage
Wire is required for wiring the GTO Automatic Gate Opener to the
AC Transformer. It is also necessary for connecting some accessories
such as the Push Button Entry Control and the Digital Keypad (wired
option). This wire is 16 gauge, dual conductor, multi-stranded, and
is ready for direct burial. This is the only wire recommended for use with GTO products. This 16 gauge, PVC sheathed wire will enable the transformer to provide an adequate charge to the control board from as far away as 1000 ft. (Not Compatible with Mighty Mule 250) Do not use telephone wire or any solid core wire; this wire does not work as well as the multi-stranded and can cause the opener to go into low voltage lockout. Never splice wires together. Splicing will seriously reduce the wire's ability to carry an adequate current and it provides a weak point for corrosion. |

Power Cables Power
Cables
These cables allow you to mount the control box farther away from
the gate. These longer cables are available in lengths of 25 ft.,
35 ft., and 40 ft. Available to for the GTO/PRO 1000 series operators |

BATTERIES All GTO Low Voltage Automatic Gate Openers are powered by a 12 volt DC/7.0 amp hour, sealed, rechargeable gel-cell battery. The life expectancy of these batteries is 3-5 years. Replacement batteries are available. The Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock is powered by a 12 volt/1.2 amp hour sealed, rechargeable gel-cell battery. Battery life is 3-5 years. |

The GTO Solar
Panel is a solar battery charger for the GTO Automatic Gate Openers.
The Solar Panel is necessary for gate opener installations more than
1000 ft. from an AC power source, or where solar power is preferred.
A Five (5) Watt Solar Panel (19 3/8" x 8 1/2") and a Ten
(10) Watt Solar Panel (19 3/8" x 15 1/4") are available
from GTO. These solar panels come with everything you need for installation
including 8 ft. of low voltage wire. There are a number of factors which determine the number of solar panels you will need, such as: the weight of your gate(s); the amount of sunlight the solar panel will receive; the number of operating cycles per day; and the number of gate opener accessories. The 10 Watt Solar Panel (available through PRO dealers only) should be used with the GTO/PRO 2000 (2200) and the GTO/PRO-SL-1000 (1200) systems. The
map and table illustrate the maximum number of cycles per day to
be expected in a particular area, using either one or two solar
panels. The figures shown are for winter (minimum sunlight) and
do not account for any use of accessory items (accessories draw
additional power from the battery).
