Control Box and Electrical
Single Gate Operator Parts List
OTHER MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED BEFORE YOU START THE INSTALLATION:
Depending on the type of gate and fence post, you may need some additional materials/hardware.
Some of these items can be found in the GTO/PRO Accessory Catalog on page 37.
• All gates will need a stop post in the open position. This post is not provided. See page 14,
“Installation of Open and Closed Position Stops” for more information.
• Low voltage wire may be needed. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer
power supply and the control box. See page 17, “Powering the System” and the Accessory Catalog,
page 37, for wire and solar charging panels.
• If the gate is more than 1000' away from an A.C. Power Source you will need to use one or more
GTO Solar Panels to provide the trickle charge to the battery. See the Accessory Catalog, page 37.
• The diameter of the fence post should be at least 8" (round) or 6" (square) in order to mount the
post bracket (see page 10). An optional 4” bracket can be used with 4” post, and mounting bracket
adapters must be used with 4" and 6" round posts. (See Accessory Catalog, page 37).
• Depending upon the diameter of the fence post, you may need longer carriage bolts than those
provided. Bolts should be at least 1" greater than the diameter of the fence post (see page 10).
• If using thin wall tube or panel gates, see page 12 for recommended reinforcement materials.
• A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to
the gate. See page 9.
