To Next PageTo Next PageHow to troubleshoot a GTO GPX-SL25 Gate Opener unit that is not responding with a flashing red status LED and the green status LED off?
If your GTO Gate Opener unit is not responding, the red status LED is flashing, and the green status LED is off, it could be due to a low battery (less than 12 VDC), the unit not charging, or adverse solar conditions. Test the transformer output and the solar panels to identify the issue.
What to do if GTO GPX-SL25 unit is not responding and the status LED is off?
If your GTO Gate Opener unit is not responding and the status LED is off, the unit may not be charging. Try cycling the power switch, checking the battery voltage, checking the receiver wiring, checking the transformer and wiring, and checking the solar panel and/or solar conditions.
What to do if my GTO GPX-SL25 Gate Opener unit stops and reverses direction during operation?
If your GTO Gate Opener is stopping and reversing direction, the obstruction setting might be improper. Try to adjust the gate, obstruction and inertia POT. Ensure the gate is sliding freely. Also, check and remove any accessories to test for proper operation.
What to do if my GTO GPX-SL25 Gate Opener unit clicks but does not operate?
If your GTO Gate Opener unit clicks but doesn't operate, it could be due to several reasons: the gate might be binding or not sliding freely, the motor could be pulling too many amps, or there may be a motor open circuit. You can try the following: check and replace the fuse(s), check battery connections at both the battery and the control board, and check the motor lead connection at the control board. If it is a single gate operator, ensure that DIP 3 is set for single, then turn the unit off and back on. Also, check the battery for a dead cell by performing a load test.
Why is my GTO GPX-SL25 unit not responding and the red status LED is on?

Installer and user accept responsibility for hazards and liability. Return product if not in agreement.
Read instructions carefully. Operator produces high force. Stay clear while operating.
Do not install operator without safety edges and roller guards.
Read instructions carefully and completely for safety and proper use.
Gate operator is one part of the system; installer ensures total system safety.
Disconnect operator chain only when power switch is OFF. Unplugging transformer does not turn off power.
Design gates to prevent traffic congestion and entrapment, comply with local codes.
Verify operator suitability, ensure gate moves freely, review system features.
Install warning signs, use walk-through gate for pedestrians, ensure entrapment protection.
Use of non-contact (Type B1) or contact (Type B2) sensors for added safety.
Operator has audio alarm for repeated obstructions; sounds for 5 mins or until reset.
Install screen guard over gate openings to prevent hand/limb entrapment.
Keep clear, no children operation, pedestrian gate required, safety edges mandatory.
Never use transformer and solar panel simultaneously; it will damage the control board.
Gate must be plumb, level, move freely, and not bind or drag.
Run low voltage wire from outlet to control box, pull wire into box, use 16 gauge wire.
Connect RED wire to (+) POSITIVE, BLACK wire to (-) NEGATIVE 18VAC SOLAR terminals.
Sets operator for gate opening direction (PULL/PUSH) and gate type (SNGL/DUAL).
Adjusts auto-close timer, inertia, and obstruction sensitivity.
Set all to minimum initially. OBSTRUCT SENS. MUST be adjusted higher to prevent false stops.
Hold LEARN button, turn ON power, press transmitter button until STATUS LED lights.
Details adjustments for gates opening Right-to-Left and Left-to-Right.
Use extreme caution to prevent finger/hair/clothing entrapment.
Connect safety edge wires to CLS EDG (closing) and OPN EDG (opening) terminals. Connect COMMON to GRN.
Connect power cable to second operator, install strain relief, secure wires.
Set SNGL/DUAL switch to DUAL. SEQ1 and SEQ2 switches used for sequencing.
Test operator, accessories, and safety devices monthly. Service regularly.
Checks for safety edge response, obstruction settings, chain condition, moving parts, lubrication, wiring, and warning signs.
Use troubleshooting guide/wizard first, then call service department with serial number and date of purchase.
Adjust gate alignment, obstruction sensitivity (POT), and check accessories.
