Thank you for purchasing a Linear PRO Access 3000XLS/3200XLS. When correctly installed and properly used, your LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS operators will give you many years of reliable service. Please read the following information to ensure you have the correct system for your particular needs. This manual will enable you to properly install your 3000XLS/3200XLS Automatic Gate Operators. The 3000XLS/3200XLS operators are designed for installation on pull-to-open dual leaf gates. The gates must not exceed 16 feet in length nor weigh more than 650 pounds* per leaf (please see Technical Specifications on page 1). The 3000XLS/3200XLS operators can be used on vinyl, aluminum, chain link, farm tube, and wrought iron gates. **Use on solid (wood) gates is not recommended. Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operators will obstruct, stop, and blow fuses.** The 3000XLS/3200XLS can be installed on push-to-open gates with the addition of two (2) push-to-open brackets ⊕ [R4388]. The 3000XLS/3200XLS operators accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons, automatic gate locks, and other access control products. **These optional accessories are noted with the ⊕ symbol.** The 3000XLS/3200XLS operators feature **adjustable stall force.** This safety feature makes the gates stop and reverse direction within two seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction. The “MIN” setting means the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction. The 3000XLS/3200XLS operators also have an **adjustable auto-close** feature. After the gates reach the fully open position, they can be set to remain open from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time after the gates fully open will cause them to close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning the gates will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again.

Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone number of a Linear PRO Access dealer near you. ## BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO INSTALL YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPERATORS: Read these instructions carefully and completely to become familiar with all parts and installation steps. You must read the installation manual for detailed instructions on gate operators safety and proper use of the gate operators. > Figure: Wizard illustration beside the text “24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com”. # 24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com > Figure: Boxed accessory notice with a white plus sign in a dark circle. GTO Accessories are noted with this symbol in this Installation Manual. Information about accessories can be found on page 32 and at **www.linearproaccess.com**. ## Page 5 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual iii # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Because automatic gate operators produce high levels of force, consumers need to know the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, and maintained automated gate operator systems. *Keep in mind that the gate operator is just one component of the total gate operating system.* Each component must work in unison to provide the consumer with convenience, security, and safety. This manual contains various safety precautions and warnings for the consumer. Because there are many possible applications of the gate operator, the safety precautions and warnings contained in this manual cannot be completely exhaustive in nature. They do, however, provide an overview of the safe design, installation, and use of this product. **CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, WARNINGS, AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE THE SAFE SYSTEM DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE OF THIS PRODUCT.** Precautions and warnings in this manual are identified with this warning symbol. The symbol identifies conditions that can result in damage to the operator or its components, serious injury, or death. **Because GTO automatic gate operators are only part of the total gate operating system, it is the responsibility of the installer/consumer to ensure that the total system is safe for its intended use.** --- ## How To Manually Open and Close the Gate: **CAUTION:** The gate can be opened and closed manually when the operator is disconnected. **ONLY** disconnect the operator when the power switch is **OFF** and the gate is **NOT** moving. ### Disconnecting the Operator 1. Turn operator power switch (Control Box) OFF. 2. Remove hairpin clip, clevis pin, and bushing from both the front and rear mounting points. 3. Remove the operator from the mount. **CAUTION:** Because the *LPA* gate operator is battery powered, disconnect the operator **ONLY** when the power switch on the control box is turned **OFF.** Unplugging the transformer does not turn power to the operator **OFF.** > Figure: Exploded drawing of the gate operator front mount connection. Labels identify **Front Mount**, **Clevis Pin**, **Gate Bracket**, **Bushing**, and **Hairpin Clip**. Arrows point to the clevis pin above the mount, the gate bracket, bushing beneath the connection, and hairpin clip below. A dashed vertical line shows the assembly order: clevis pin, front mount/gate bracket connection, bushing, then hairpin clip. NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock ⊕ [FM345] for the clevis pin on the front mount of the gate operator to prevent unauthorized removal of the operator from the gate. > Figure: Drawing of the operator front mount connected to the gate bracket with a padlock-style Pin Lock installed in place of the clevis pin. No additional readable labels. ## Page 6 iv LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ## For The Consumer **WARNING:** To reduce the risk of injury or death: 1. **READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.** Failure to meet the requirements set forth in the instruction manual could cause severe injury or death, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible. 2. When designing a system that will be entered from a highway or main thoroughfare, make sure the system is placed far enough from the road to prevent traffic congestion. 3. The gate must be installed in a location that provides adequate clearance between it and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates must not open into public access areas. 4. The gate and gate operator installation **must comply with any applicable local codes.** ## I. Before Installation 1. Verify this operator is proper for the type and size of gate, its frequency of use, and the proper class rating. 2. Make sure the gate has been properly installed and swings freely in both directions. Repair or replace all worn or damaged gate hardware prior to installation. A freely moving gate will require less force to operate and will enhance the performance of the operator and safety devices used with the system. 3. Review the operation of the system to become familiar with its safety features. Understand how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). 4. This gate operator is intended for vehicular gates ONLY. A separate entrance or gate must be installed for pedestrian use (page vi). 5. Always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel. **NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.** 6. Pay close attention to the diagram below and be aware of these areas at all times. > Figure: Top-view diagram of a double swing, pull-to-open gate installation across a **Driveway**. Each gate is shown in the open position at its respective post, labeled **Gate in the Open Position**. Dashed arcs show the gate travel paths. Shaded entrapment areas are labeled **ZONE 1** at the meeting/leading edges of the gates; **ZONE 2** between each gate and its gate post; **ZONE 3** in each gate travel path; **ZONE 4** between each open gate and adjacent outer object area; and **ZONE 5** at the operator-to-gate pinch-point areas. ### Entrapment Zones for a proper Pull-To-Open installation: - **Zone 1** – leading edge of the gates. - **Zone 2** – between the gate and the gate post. - **Zone 3** – the path of the gate. - **Zone 4** – the space between the gate in the open position and any object such as a wall, fence, etc. - **Zone 5** – pinch points between the operator and gate. ## Page 7 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual v # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ## II. During Installation 1. Install the gate operator on the inside of the property and fence line. **DO NOT** install an operator on the outside of the gate where the public has access to it. 2. Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched. 3. **Devices such as contact sensors (safety edges) and non contact sensors (photo beams) provide additional protection against entrapment.** 4. If push buttons or keypads are installed, they should be within sight of the gate, yet located at least 10 feet from any moving part of the gate (see diagram below). **Never install any control device where a user will be tempted to reach through the gate to activate the gate operator.** 5. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions. Watch the gate through its entire movement. 6. Secure outdoor or easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prohibit unauthorized use of the gate. > Figure: Top-view double-gate diagram with shaded gray restricted control-device area around the moving gates and driveway. Both swing paths are labeled **Moving Gate Area**; center area is labeled **Driveway**. Text in the shaded area states: **NEVER INSTALL any control device within gray area**. Dimension arrows label **10’** from the sides of each gate, above the moving-gate areas, and below the gate-post areas. Dashed boundary line outlines the gray area. ## III. After Installation 1. Attach the **warning signs (included)** to each side of the gate to alert the public of automatic gate operation. It is **your responsibility** to post warning signs on both sides of your gate. If any of these signs or warning decals become damaged, illegible or missing, replace them immediately. Contact LPA for free replacements. 2. The gate is automatic and could move at any time, posing a serious risk of entrapment. No one should be in contact with an activated gate when it is moving or stationary. 3. Do not attempt to drive into the gate area while the gate is moving; wait until the gate comes to a complete stop. 4. Do not attempt to “beat the gate” (drive through) while the gate is closing. This is extremely dangerous. 5. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. **Never let children operate or play with gate controls.** Keep ALL gate controls away from children and unauthorized users; store controls where children and unauthorized users do not have access to them. 6. **KEEP GATE AND GATE Operator PROPERLY MAINTAINED.** Always turn power to operator OFF before performing any maintenance. Regularly grease the gate hinges. Apply silicone spray to a soft, dry cloth and clean the push-pull tube at least once a month. ## Page 8 vi LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual # IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 7. To operate this equipment safely, YOU must know how to disconnect the operator for manual gate operation (page iii). If you have read the instructions and still do not understand how to disconnect the operator, contact the LPA Service Department. 8. Disconnect the operator **ONLY** when the power is **TURNED OFF** and the gate is **NOT** moving. 9. Make arrangements with local fire and law enforcement for emergency access. 10. Distribute and discuss copies of the **IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS** section of this manual with all persons authorized to use your gate. 11. **IMPORTANT: Save these safety instructions. Make sure everyone who is using or will be around the gate and gate operator are aware of the dangers associated with automated gates. In the event you sell the property with the gate operator or sell the gate operator, provide a copy of these safety instructions to the new owner.** Should you lose or misplace this manual, a copy can be obtained by downloading one from the Linear PRO Access web site (www.linearproaccess.com), by contacting GTO Access Systems., at 3121 Hartsfield Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32303 or by calling 1-800-543-4283 and requesting a duplicate copy. One will be provided to you free of charge. ## Required Safety Precautions for Gates ### Install Warning Signs Warning signs alert people of automatic gate operation and are **required** when installing the GTO Gate Operator. The Warning Signs included must be installed on both sides of each gate. Furthermore, a walk-through gate must be installed for pedestrian traffic. We recommend using the **GTO Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock** ⊕ [FM145] for controlled access. ### Entrapment Protection The gate operator’s inherent obstruction settings, even when properly adjusted, **may not be sensitive enough to prevent bodily injury in some circumstances.** For this reason, safety devices such as safety edge sensors (or photoelectric sensors), which stop and reverse gate direction upon sensing an obstruction, are suggested for enhanced protection against entrapment. > Figure: Front elevation drawing of a fence line with a **Pedestrian Gate** at left and two center-opening **Vehicular Gate** panels. Labels and arrows identify a **Bulldog Pedestrian Gate Lock (recommended, not included)** at the pedestrian gate; **Warning Sign** on each vehicular gate; multiple **Contact Sensor (recommended, not included)** locations along the gate edges and lower edges; and **Photo Beam (recommended, not included)** units at the left and right gate areas. Gate operators are shown mounted on both vehicular gates. ## Page 9 **IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS** ### Secondary Means of Protection Against Entrapment As specified by Gate Operator Safety Standard, UL 325 (30A.1.1), automatic gate operators shall have an inherent entrapment sensing system, and shall have provisions for, or be supplied with, at least one independent secondary means to protect against entrapment. The 3000XLS/3200XLS utilizes **Type A**, an inherent (i.e., built-in) entrapment sensing system as the **primary** type of entrapment protection. Also, the 3000XLS/3200XLS has **provisions for** the connection of **Type B1 or B2** protection to be used as the **secondary** type of entrapment protection, if desired. 1. For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (e.g., photo-electric sensor– Type B1) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [h]): A. Refer to the sensor manufacturer’s instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application. B. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving. C. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier. 2. For gate operators utilizing a contact sensor (e.g., safety edge sensor– Type B2) in accordance with UL 325 (51.8.4 [i]): A. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, bottom edge, and post edge, both inside and outside of a vehicular swing gate system. B. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to mechanical damage. C. A wireless contact sensor such as one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, natural landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use conditions. You may want to consider adding photo beams to your installation. GTO Photo Beams [R4222] provide a “non contact” means of entrapment protection. > Figure: Diagram of a double vehicular swing gate with gate operators, posts, control box, and photo beams. Arrows identify: “Leading Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate”; “Bottom Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate”; “Post Edge Contact Sensor on both sides of the gate” at each outer post; “Photo Beam” at both sides; and “Vehicular Gate” on each gate leaf. ### ENTRAPMENT ALARM (UL 325; 30A.1.1A) The 3000XLS/3200XLS Gate Operators are designed to stop and reverse within 2 seconds when a gate comes in contact with an obstruction. Additionally, these operators are equipped with an **audio entrapment alarm** which will activate if the unit obstructs **twice** while opening or closing. This alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes, or until the operator receives an intended signal from a hard wired entry/exit source (e.g. push button control or keypad) and the gate returns to a fully open or fully closed position. Turning the power switch on the control box OFF and back ON will also deactivate the alarm. Wireless controls such as transmitters and wireless keypads will not deactivate the alarm. ## Page 10 **IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS** > Figure: Warning sign label.

Materials You may Need for the Installation: Depending on the type of gates and posts, you may need some additional materials/hardware. - Low voltage wire [RB509]. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer power supply and the control box. (Page 17) - If the gate is more than 1000’ away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one 10 watt Solar Panel [FM123] to trickle charge the battery. (Page 2) - PVC Conduit. (Page 7) - The diameter of the post should be at least 6” in order to mount the post bracket. (Page 7) - Depending upon the diameter of the post, you may need longer bolts than those provided. Bolts should be at least 1” longer than the diameter of the post. (Page 7) - Metal plate for wooden posts. (Page 7) - A horizontal or vertical cross members or mounting plates may be needed to mount the operators to the gates. (Page 3) - Some types of installations require U-Bolts. (Page 11) - Surge protection for transformer. (Page 18) - Weatherproof cover for transformer if installed outside. (Page 18) - For push-to-open applications you must have two (2) PTO Brackets [R4388). **IMPORTANT:** The 3000XLS gate operator (6 ft. cable) will be installed on the gate on the same side of the driveway as the control box and they will be referred to as the MASTER gate and gate operator. The 3200XLS gate operator (40 ft. cable) will be installed on the gate on the opposite side of the driveway from the control box and they will be referred to as the SECOND gate and gate operator throughout this manual. ## Page 17 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual 7 # 9. Installation Overview ## Pull-To-Open Gates (Gate Opens into the Property) The diagram shown below is an example of a Pull-To-Open installation on a chain link fence and dual gate. Mounting the operators on masonry columns requires special procedures; see Column Installation Information on page 28. Furthermore, if you have a Push–To–Open gate, see Push–to–Open Installation on page 26 before proceeding. > Figure: Diagram of a dual chain-link gate installation. Labels and arrows identify: **Receiver**; **Gate Swings Evenly and Freely / Hung Firmly and Plumb**; **Control Box with Battery**; **120 Volt Indoor Transformer** with note “(surge protector not supplied)”; **Post Bracket Assembly**; **MASTER Gate Opener**; **SECOND Gate Opener**; **Gate Bracket**; **6' Power Cable**; **Closed Position Stop Plates**; **PVC conduit (not included) to protect second opener power cable and low voltage wire from lawn mowers and weed eaters**; **Concrete Poured Around Gate Post**; and **Run 1000' (max.) of low voltage wire to control box from transformer (wire not included)**. The drawing shows two gate openers, one on each gate leaf, electrical wiring routed through conduit below the gates, and concrete around the gate posts. # Install the Master Gate Operator (3000XLS) ## Install the Post Bracket Assembly The post bracket is designed to work on a flat post. Posts must be at least 6” square in order to bolt the post bracket. When using bolts to mount the post bracket, the bolts must completely penetrate the post. - The best method of attaching the post bracket to a metal post is welding. - If your post exceeds 8”, it will be necessary to use hex head bolts longer than those supplied. - Round wood posts (no smaller than 8” diameter) may be notched to create a flat surface for attaching the post bracket. - Wood posts will require a metal plate (not provided) between the nuts and post to prevent the operator from pulling the bolts and washers through the wood. - A post smaller than 6” in diameter should be made of metal instead of wood so that it will remain stable while the operator is moving the gate. - Masonry columns will require masonry anchors/hardware (not provided). > Figure: Exploded drawing of post bracket assemblies mounted to a square post and a round post. It shows bracket plates, bolts, washers, nuts, and a metal reinforcement plate behind a wood post. ## Page 18 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual 8 ### Step 1 Close the gate and place your level against the horizontal cross member. Position the level so that the top should be in the center of the cross member and overlaps the post. Scribe a line across the cross member and post. You will use this line to help determine position of post and gate brackets. > Figure: Gate shown beside a gate post, with a level positioned horizontally across the center of the gate cross member and overlapping the post. A dashed horizontal scribe line extends across the cross member and post. ### Step 2 Position the post bracket on the post with the mounting holes centered over the scribe line. The post bracket should be flush with the edge of the post closest to the gate. Mark the position of post bracket holes on the post. > Figure: Front view of a gate and post. The post bracket is positioned on the post centered over the dashed scribe line and flush with the gate-side edge of the post. ### Step 3 Drill holes through post as marked using a 3/8” drill bit. Install the post bracket using the 3/8” x 8” hex head bolts and 3/8” flat washers, lock washers, and nuts (provided). > Figure: Exploded view of a post bracket bolted through a square wood post. A rear **Metal reinforcement plate for wood post** is shown behind the post, with bolts, washers, and nuts. ### Step 4 Place the end of post pivot bracket with two holes inside the post bracket. (Notched end of Post Pivot Bracket should face gate, to accommodate the operator arm.) Align the back hole in the post pivot bracket with back hole in the post bracket. Insert 3/8” x 3” hex head bolt and washer through post pivot bracket and post bracket and secure with 3/8” washer, lock washer and nut. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the post pivot bracket installed inside the post bracket. Arrows label: **3/8" x 3" Bolt**, **3/8" Washer** (above bracket), **Post Bracket**, **Post Pivot Bracket**, **3/8" Washer**, **3/8" Lock Washer**, and **3/8" Nut**. The notched end of the post pivot bracket faces toward the gate. ## Page 19 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual 9 ### Step 5 Position the operator rear mount between post pivot bracket. Place a 1/2” bushing above the rear mount and a 3/16” bushing under the rear mount. Align the hole in rear mount, bushings and post pivot bracket and secure with the 2 1/2” clevis pin and hair pin clip. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the operator rear mount connected to the post pivot bracket. Labels identify **Operator**, **3/8” x 2-1/2” Clevis Pin**, **3/8” x 1/2” Delrin Bushing**, **3/8” x 3/16” Delrin Bushing under rear mount**, and **Hairpin Clip**. ### Step 6 Place a 3/16” bushing under the front mount and attach the gate bracket to the front mount using the 1 3/4” clevis pin and hairpin clip. > Figure: Exploded drawing of the operator front mount and gate bracket. Labels identify **Front Mount**, **Gate Bracket**, **3/8” x 1-3/4” Clevis Pin**, **3/8” x 3/16” Delrin Bushing under front mount**, and **Hairpin Clip**. ## Check Clearance ### Step 7 Open the gate to the desired open position. Position the operator so that the gate bracket rests against the gate along the level scribed line. Check the clearance between the operator and the gate. The operator should only make contact with the gate at the gate bracket. There should be a minimum clearance of 2” between the widest part of the operator arm and the gate. When you have achieved the best position for the post pivot bracket in the open position, insert the 3/8” x 3” bolt and 3/8” flat washer through the aligned holes of the post bracket and post pivot bracket to hold it in place. Clamp the gate bracket to the gate using c-clamps or another type of clamp. **IMPORTANT:** While determining the position of the post pivot bracket, be sure that the position allows for minimum 2“ of clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions. This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and, more importantly, provides the least possible pinch area. > Figure: Top-view diagram of the gate in the open position, with the operator arm fully retracted. Arrows identify a **Pinch Area**, **Clamp**, and a dimension of **2" minimum** between the widest section of the operator and the gate. ## Page 20 LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual 10 ### Step 8 Remove the clevis pin from the front mount and while supporting the gate operator, swing the gate and gate operator to the closed position. With the gate and gate operator in the closed position check the clearance and be sure that the gate operator is not binding at the post pivot bracket. If you don’t have 2” clearance or the gate operator is binding on the post pivot bracket, remove the bolt in the post bracket and readjust the pivot bracket until you can achieve the proper clearance. With the post pivot bracket in the optimum position for clearance and freedom of movement, replace the bolt in a post bracket adjustment hole and secure with 3/8” washer, and lock nut. Return the operator to the open position and reattach the gate bracket. Recheck the gate operator level and clearance in the open position. Adjustment of the gate bracket will be necessary if the post bracket was moved. After verifying clearance, make sure the gate bracket is clamped securely. > Figure: Side-view diagram of the gate in the closed position with the operator extended. Labels identify **Gate in the CLOSED POSITION**, **Pinch Area**, **Clamp**, **2" minimum**, and **MAX 16"**. An inset shows the post pivot bracket bolt, washer, and adjustment position. ## Install Gate Bracket ### Step 9 Detach the front mount from the gate bracket. Check that the gate bracket holes are centered over the scribe line. Mark the gate in the center of the gate bracket holes. Remove the gate bracket and drill the 1/2” holes through the gate cross member and attach the gate bracket using the 1/2” x 2 3/4” bolts, washers and lock nuts. > Figure: Diagram showing the gate bracket below a **LEVEL horizontal cross member**. Instruction label reads: “Mark cross member through middle of gate bracket slots and drill 1/2" holes”. Below are front and side views for **Round Tube & Chain Link Gate** and **Square Tube Gate**. A decorative gate configuration is labeled **Mounting Plate Created for Decorative Gate (required but not supplied)**. ## Attach Operator ### Step 10 Make sure the gate is in the open position and the operator arm is fully retracted. Attach the operator to the securely bolted post bracket assembly and gate bracket using clevis pins, bushings, and hairpin clips, or optional Pin Lock [FM345]. Verify that the operator is level, bolts are tight, and adjust the post bracket assembly if necessary. > Figure: Perspective drawing of an installed operator on a gate in the open position. Labels identify **Gate In Open Position**, **Level Operator**, **Clevis Pin, Bushing, and Hairpin Clip**, and **Fence Post**. ## Page 21 # Install the Second Gate Operator (3200XLS) The hardware installation for the 3200XLS is the same as the 3000XLS - follow Steps 1 to 10 on pages 8 - 10 to install the 3200XLS on the second gate. # Install the Closed Position Stops The 3000XLS/3200XLS Gate Operators firmly hold the gates in the closed position using positive stops. The positive stops help stabilize the gate leaves in the closed position. To further enhance stability and security, we strongly recommended using an optional GTO Automatic Gate Lock. **IMPORTANT:** The gate and gate operator on the same side as the control box will be referred to as the MASTER gate and gate operator. The gate and gate operator on the opposite side of the driveway from the control box will be referred to as the SECOND gate and gate operator. **Note:** Ground stop required for GTO automatic gate lock. > Figure: Illustration A. Top-view diagram of two closed gate leaves. Labels: “Control Box,” “Gate Hinge” (at each outer gate hinge), “MASTER GATE,” “SECOND GATE,” “Optional Ground Stop (beneath gate),” and “Closed Position Stop Plates.” Curved arrows show that each gate leaf can open up to 110° (max.). ### Step 1 Detach the gate operators from the gates and move the gates to their closed position (Illustration A). Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate (U-bolts for tube or chain link; screws or bolts for wood or metal) attach the closed position stop plate (horizontally) in line with the operator arm, about mid height on the MASTER gate frame. Do not tighten it completely at this time. Slide the stop plate toward the frame of the SECOND gate leaf until they touch (Illustration B). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely. > Figure: Illustration B. Closed Position Stop Plate mounted horizontally on metal post with U-bolts. Front view shows a horizontal stop plate joining two vertical gate-frame members. Top view labels the members “MASTER Gate Frame” and “SECOND Gate Frame” and shows U-bolts beneath the plate. ## Page 22 **NOTE:** The optional ground stop post is used to provide a secure point for the SECOND gate to close against. If you will be using the GTO Automatic Gate Lock accessory with your gate operator system, the low profile ground stop is REQUIRED, as example shown in illustration C. ### Step 2 Install a low profile ground stop (not provided) beneath the SECOND gate stop plate. The ground stop needs to be positioned near the end of the gate as shown in Illustration A and may be made of metal or concrete and should be firmly secured in the ground (we recommend setting it in concrete). > Figure: Illustration C. Front and side views of a vertical closed position stop plate and low profile ground stop. Labels: “Closed Position Stop Plate mounted on the gate leaf that CLOSES FIRST,” “Mount Vertically,” “FRONT VIEW,” “SIDE VIEW,” “Closed Position Stop Plate,” and “Low Profile Ground Stop in Near the Center of Driveway.” The side view shows the stop plate contacting a low-profile post set in concrete. ### Step 3 Attach a vertical closed position stop plate to the SECOND gate. Using appropriate hardware for your type of gate attach the vertical closed position stop plate to the SECOND gate frame at the point where it will come in contact with the ground stop post. Do not tighten it completely at this time. You must slide the closed position stop plate toward the ground stop until they touch (Illustration C). Once you have moved the stop plate to the correct position, tighten its hardware completely. ### Step 4 Return gates to the open position and reattach gate operators. > Figure: Diagram of two gates in the open position, each attached to a gate operator at an outside post. Dashed curved arcs show the gate swing paths toward the center. Labels: “Gate in the Open Position” at both gates and “Driveway.” ## Page 23 # Mount the Battery Box and Control Box ### Step 1 Remove the Control box from the Battery Box by removing four screws as shown in *Illustration A*. > Figure: Illustration A. Open battery/control box with its cover hinged open. Four screws are shown with upward arrows indicating removal. ### Step 2 Mount the Battery Box using the screws (provided) or another secure mounting method as shown in *Illustration B*. The battery/control box must be mounted at least 3 feet above the ground to protect it from rain splash, snow, etc., and at least 3 feet from an AC power source to prevent electrical interference. > Figure: Illustration B. Battery box mounted to a vertical post or wall. Four mounting screws are shown with dashed alignment lines. ### Step 3 Slide the battery into position with the terminals to the right as shown in *Illustration C*. > Figure: Illustration C. Battery is shown sliding into the battery box, indicated by a left-pointing arrow. The battery terminals are on the right. > Figure: Illustration D. Control box exterior with close-up of the ON/OFF switch. Label: “ON/OFF.” The switch is shown in the OFF position. # Connecting the Battery ### Step 4 Verify that the ON/OFF switch on the Control Box is in the OFF position. *Illustration D*. Connect the BATTERY WIRE HARNESS wires to the battery --- RED wires to POSITIVE (+) battery terminal and BLACK wires to NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal. The BATTERY WIRES from the CONTROL BOARD should extend through the KNOCK-OUT in the back of the CONTROL BOX. Plug the BATTERY HARNESS wires into the wires coming from the CONTROL BOX. > Figure: Battery wiring diagram. Red wire is labeled “Red to Positive (+)” and connects to the positive battery terminal. Black wire is labeled “Black to Negative (–)” and connects to the negative battery terminal. Wiring harness connectors join the control box wires. Label: “Connectors for second battery.” ## Page 24 ### Step 5 Tuck the excess battery leads into the battery box and reattach the CONTROL BOX to the BATTERY BOX. > Figure: Open control box with circuit board visible. Four screws and arrows show the control box being reattached to the battery box. # Mounting the Receiver ### Step 1 Temporarily mount the receiver at this time. You will need to use the transmitter (page 22) to check the range of the receiver *before permanently mounting* it. You may have to try different locations before permanently mounting the receiver. The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and external interference. **Mount the receiver:** - Ensuring a line-of-sight between transmitter and antenna. - At least 3 feet away from AC voltage. - As high as possible for optimum range. - DO NOT mount receiver upside down. - DO NOT mount receiver on metal fence or post (this will decrease signal range). If attaching receiver to metal fence, you should mount receiver on a piece of wood attached to the fence (see illustration). **The receiver cable:** - Cable length is 10 ft. (receivers with longer cables are available as special order items; call the GTO Sales Department). - NEVER splice receiver cable! - Run the receiver cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage. - DO NOT run cable in conduit containing AC wiring. > Figure: Receiver mounted on a piece of wood attached to a fence post. A vertical antenna extends above the receiver, and a cable runs downward in a loop. Label: “Receiver mounted on piece of wood.” This device complies with FCC rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept an interference that may cause undesired operation. Transmitter distance may vary due to circumstances beyond our control. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. ## Page 25 # Connect Operator Power Cables ### Step 1 Review the Installation Overview illustration below before proceeding. Cut a slot into the driveway to accommodate 3/4” PVC conduit (not provided). The buried conduit will protect the SECOND operator power cable from automobile tires, lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Pull the SECOND operator power cable through the conduit, up to the Control Box. > Figure: Installation overview showing gates in the open position with operators installed. Labels and arrows identify: “Receiver,” “Control Box,” “MASTER Gate Operator,” “SECOND Gate Operator,” “Power Cable from MASTER Gate Operator,” and “Power Cable from SECOND Gate Operator.” A buried run between the gate posts is labeled “PVC conduit *(not included)* to protect SECOND operator power cable from lawn mowers and weed eaters.” The diagram text reads “GATES IN THE OPEN POSITION WITH OPERATORS INSTALLED.” ### Step 2 Loosen sealing nuts on strain relief hubs at bottom of control box. Insert power cables into control box through strain reliefs. Thread approximately 6” to 8” of the power cables into the control box and retighten sealing nuts until the power cables lock into place. > Figure: Exploded drawing of a strain relief assembly. Parts are labeled, from top to bottom: “Lock Nut,” “Hub,” and “Sealing Nut.” Vertical label: “Strain Relief.” > Figure: Open control box drawing showing cables entering through the bottom. Arrows identify “Strain Relief,” “Power Cable from Master Operator,” and “Power Cable from Second Operator.” ## Page 26 # Connecting MASTER Operator ### Step 3 Insert the stripped power cable wires into the appropriate terminals on the MASTER OPERATOR terminal block. The green wire should be inserted into the GRN terminal, the white wire into WHT, the blue wire into BLU, brown wire into BRN, orange wire into ORG, red wire into RED, and the black wire into the BLK terminal. Tighten the set screws against the end of the wires. > Figure: Control-board terminal diagram for the master operator. A cable labeled “Power Cable from the Master Operator Arm” connects to the vertical “MASTER OPERATOR” terminal block. Terminal labels, top to bottom: GRN, WHT, BLU, BRN, ORG, RED, BLK. Other readable board labels include “CONTROL INPUTS,” COM, COM, CYCLE, SAFETY, EXIT, SHADOW, CLOSE EDGE, OPEN EDGE, “GTO RCVR.”, GRN, BLK, and RED; “RECEIVER” appears on the board. > Figure: Three wire-terminal connection drawings labeled “Correct,” “Wrong,” and “Wrong.” The correct drawing identifies “Wire.” The wrong examples are labeled “Screwed into wire insulation” and “Exposed strands of wire.” > Figure: Warning box: “NEVER SPLICE WIRES Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an adequate current.” # Connecting SECOND Operator ### Step 4 Insert the stripped wires of the power cable into the appropriate terminals on the SECOND OPERATOR terminal block. The green wire should be inserted into the GRN terminal, the white wire into WHT, the blue wire into BLU, brown wire into BRN, orange wire into ORG, red wire into RED, and the black wire into the BLK terminal. Tighten the set screws against the end of the wires. > Figure: Control-board terminal diagram showing both operator cable connections. The upper cable is labeled “Power Cable from the Second Operator Arm” and connects to the vertical “2ND OPERATOR” terminal block; terminals are labeled GRN, WHT, BLU, BRN, ORG, RED, BLK. The lower cable connects to the vertical “MASTER OPERATOR” terminal block. Board labels include “CONTROL OUTPUTS,” PWR, LOCK, RLY, AUX, COM, COM, and CYCLE. ## Page 27 # Connect the Power Input **IMPORTANT:** - The transformer is designed and intended for indoor use. If the transformer can only be plugged into an outside electrical outlet, a weatherproof cover/housing (available at local electrical supply stores) must be used. - The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge stranded, low voltage, direct burial wire [RB509]. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft. - DO NOT use telephone wire or solid wire. - NEVER splice wires. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire’s ability to carry an adequate current. - **NEVER USE TRANSFORMER AND SOLAR PANEL(S) AT THE SAME TIME! Doing so will damage the control board.** - If your gate is more than 1000 ft. from an AC power source, you will need to use at least 10 watts solar charging power [FM122/FM123] to charge the battery. Refer to the Solar Panels and Gate Activity Chart on page 2. ### Step 1 Make sure the control box power switch is OFF. > Figure: Drawing of the control box with an inset magnification of its ON/OFF power switch. An arrow points to the switch, labeled “ON/OFF.” ### Step 2 Select the electrical outlet outlet into which you will plug the transformer. Measure the distance from this outlet to the control box following the path where the wire will be laid (allow for an additional 6” to be pulled into the control box). ### Step 3 Lay the low voltage wire in a trench following a path from the selected electrical outlet to the control box. Wires coming up from the ground should be run through PVC conduit to protect them from lawn mower blades, weed eaters, and grazing animals. Bury the wire in the trench. ### Step 4 Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief opening on the lower left of the control box. Pull 6” to 8” of wire into the control box. > Figure: Open control box drawing. Arrows identify “Low Voltage Wire from Transformer,” “Operator Power Cables,” and “PVC Pipe.” The low-voltage wire enters from below through a PVC pipe and strain relief. ## Page 28 ### Step 5 Strip 3/16” off the ends of the low voltage wire and twist tightly. Attach these ends to the **18 VAC or SOLAR** terminals located on the POWER INPUTS terminal block. Be certain not to let the exposed wires touch each other! Insert one transformer wire into an **18 VAC or SOLAR** terminal. Insert the other transformer wire into the remaining **18 VAC or SOLAR** terminal. The transformer wires can be connected to the **18 VAC or SOLAR** terminals regardless of color/polarity. Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. > Figure: Control-board terminal diagram showing red and black “Low Voltage Wire from AC Transformer or Solar Panel” connected to the power input terminals. The two terminals are labeled “TRANSF. OR GTO 18VOLT SOLAR PANEL,” with “SOLAR PANEL” beside them. The board area is labeled “POWER INPUT,” “CONTROL OUTPUTS,” PWR, LOCK, RLY, AUX, “2ND OPERATOR,” and “MASTER OPERATOR.” Wire labels: “RED” and “BLACK.” ### Step 6 At the transformer, strip 1/2” of insulation from the ends of the low voltage wire. Twist tightly and attach wires to the transformer terminals. **Make sure the exposed wires do not touch each other!** > Figure: Drawing of a plug-in transformer with a screwdriver tightening a transformer terminal. Two low-voltage wires are shown connected to the transformer terminals. ### Step 3 Plug the transformer into the electrical outlet. (Use of a surge protector with the transformer is strongly recommended.) IMPORTANT: This is a class II indoor transformer; if using transformer outdoors be sure to enclose it in a weatherproof case. > Figure: Drawing of a “Class 2 Transformer” plugged into a wall outlet through a device labeled “SURGE PROTECTOR.” ## Page 29 # Control Board Settings ## Set Closed Position Limit (for Pull-To-Open Applications) ### Step 1 Power switch is on, gates are in the **OPEN** position, operator arms fully retracted. > Figure: Illustration of a control box power switch in the ON/OFF area, and two gates in the open position. Labels: “Control Box,” “Master Gate Operator,” “Second Gate Operator,” and “Gates in OPEN Position.” An arrow points upward toward the control box. ### Step 2 Press the transmitter to activate operator arms. The gates will begin to **CLOSE**. > Figure: Illustration of a handheld transmitter and two gates closing. Labels: “Control Box,” “Master Gate Operator,” “Second Gate Operator,” and “Gates Closing.” Curved arrows show both gates swinging inward. ### Step 3 When either gate reaches **CLOSED** position, press transmitter to stop the gates. **A.** If the master gate reaches closed position first - press and hold LEARN MAST LIMIT for 5 seconds, or until buzzer beeps to set closed position. **B.** If the second gate reaches closed position first - press and hold LEARN 2ND LIMIT for 5 seconds, or until buzzer beeps to set closed position. > Figure: Two closed-gate illustrations.

Center label: “Gates in OPEN Position.” ## Page 31 # Adjust the Stall Force Setting The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board controls the obstruction sensitivity (or the amount of force the operator will apply to an obstruction for two (2) seconds before it automatically stops and reverses direction). **IMPORTANT:** For safety reasons the stall force setting will need to be adjusted for your particular application. The Stall Force potentiometer on the control board operates like a volume control on a radio. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to adjust the potentiometer. Adjust the stall force from the MIN position until the gate operates smoothly without obstructing from its own weight or wind conditions. NOTE: you may need to increase the stall force in cold temperatures due to increased resistance from gate hinges. > Figure: Control-board diagram highlighting the **STALL FORCE** potentiometer. An enlarged circular inset shows a screwdriver adjustment symbol, curved arrows indicating adjustment, and labels **MIN** and **MAX**. An arrow points from the enlarged inset to the STALL FORCE potentiometer on the board.

The Troubleshooting Wizard has detailed information this and other Installations. **24/7 Troubleshooting Wizard: http://support.gtoinc.com** **22** LPA 3000XLS/3200XLS Instruction Manual ## Page 33 # Dip Switch Settings ## DIP Switches DIP Switch Settings (MODES) **DIP Switch #1: Soft Start/Stop** ON– Soft start enabled (factory preset). OFF– Soft start disabled. The Soft Start/Stop feature slowly starts the gate as it begins to open and slows the gate as it comes to the closed position. This saves wear and tear on the gate and gate operator system. **DIP Switch #2: Warning Buzzer** ON– Buzzer warning enabled (factory preset). OFF– Buzzer warning disabled. The Warning Buzzer alerts you when the gate operator is beginning to either open or close the gate. It sounds for the first 2 seconds in each direction. It also sounds a warning when the gate obstructs two times in one cycle. Switching this to OFF only disables the open and close warning not the obstruction warning. **DIP Switch #3: Push/Pull-to-Open** ON– Push-to-open. OFF– Pull-to-open (factory preset). If your gate opens into the property the DIP Switch is set to the OFF position (factory setting). If your gate opens out from the property the DIP Switch must be set to the ON position. NOTE: if you have a Push-to-Open gate application you will need a Push-to-Open bracket (see Push-to-Open Instructions on page 26). **DIP Switch #4: Dual Operation** ON– Second opens simultaneously with master. OFF– Second opens after master. (factory preset). Note: Not applicable for single gate operator. > Figure: Diagram of a controller circuit board and a magnified 4-position DIP switch.

A Push-To-Open installation requires the purchase of a Push-To-Open Bracket [R4388]. **In a Push-To-Open installation the operator is installed while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.** ## Install the Operator Follow directions for installing the 3000XLS beginning on page 7. *The Push-To-Open installation differs from the Pull-To-Open installation in the following ways:* 1. In a Push-To-Open installation, the arm fully extends to open the gate, and it fully retracts to close the gate. (C) 2. You will install the operator while the gate is in the **CLOSED POSITION (arm fully retracted).** (A) 3. You must use the Push-to-Open Post Pivot Bracket [R4388] in the Post Bracket assembly. (B) 4. IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for 2” clearance between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed positions (see diagram below). This clearance will give the operator the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and more importantly provides the least possible pinch area. (C) > Figure: Diagram A, showing an operator installed on a fence post with the “Gate In Closed Position.” Labels identify “Level Operator,” “Clevis Pin, Bushing, and Hairpin Clip,” and “Fence Post.” The operator arm is shown fully retracted. > Figure: Exploded assembly diagram B for the Push-to-Open Post Pivot Bracket.

Learn 2ND Limit Button.” ### Step 7 Press the transmitter once again to close gates. Both gates open position are now programmed. If you make a mistake and set the limit at the wrong position: press your transmitter to return the gates to the fully closed position, then press and hold the LEARN MAST LIMIT and/or the LEARN 2ND LIMIT button for 5 seconds. This will clear the memory for the open limit position. Repeat Steps 1-6 # Column Installation If this operator will be used with gates that are mounted on masonry, brick, or rock (etc.) columns, read the following carefully before proceeding **A.** The simplest solution is to install the operator in a push-to-open configuration. The minimum clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no longer a problem, since the operator will be pushing the gate away from the column instead of pulling it toward the column. It is recommended that you place a steel plate between the operator mounting brackets and masonry surface for additional strength. **B.** If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either in the center of the column or at the back corner, or move the gate to the back corner of the columns. **C.** The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the column to accommodate the operator and power cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!* > Figure: Column-mount drawing showing a “Column,” “Gate,” “Hinge,” and “Pivot Bracket.” Dimensions A and B are marked by dashed measurement lines.
