Step 23:
Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief on the
control box. Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the
screw on the side of the strain relief to secure wires.
Step 22:
Install at least 10 ft. of low voltage wire (see Accessory Catalog, page
37) to connect the control box to the transformer. This wire should be
buried in a trench. Wires coming from the ground to the control box
should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mowers,
weed eaters and grazing animals. Do not use telephone wire or any
solid core wire. Never splice wires together!
This table and map illustrates the maximum
number of cycles per day to be expected in a
particular area, using GTO’s 10 watt solar panels
(see Accessory Catalog, page 37). Figures are
shown for winter (minimum sunlight) and do not
account for use of any accessory items. Accesso-
ries will draw additional power from the battery.

Important Information About Low Voltage Wire
The only wire recommended for use with GTO products is GTO’s 16 gauge, multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC
sheathed wire. This particular gauge will enable the transformer to provide an adequate charge to the control board
from as far away as 1000 ft.
Do not use telephone wire or and solid core wire. This wire does not work as well as the multi-stranded and can
cause the operator system 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.
NOTE: A maximum of
four 10 watt solar panels
can be connected to the
GTO/PRO 2000 series of
operators.
