Installing the Receiver
Use the transmitter to check the range of the receiver before permanently mounting it.
Consider the following when mounting the receiver:
• Standard receiver cable length is 10 feet (receivers with a longer cable are available as special
order items; call the GTO Sales Department). NEVER splice receiver cable!
• Run the cable through PVC conduit to protect it from damage.
• DO NOT run cable through metal conduit because the receiver signal range will be decreased.
• DO NOT run cable in conduit containing ac wiring.
• DO NOT mount receiver on a metal fence or post; doing so will decrease signal range.
• The receiver range can vary from 50 to 100 feet depending upon weather, topography, and
external interference.
• DO NOT mount upside down.

Obstruction Sensitivity Potentiometer
ALWAYS KEEP SAFETY AT THE TOP OF YOUR LIST WHEN ADJUSTING OR
SERVICING YOUR AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER!
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the obstruction setting or
Stall
Force on the GTO/PRO control board comes from the factory set at
MIN (minimum). In many gate installations this setting will need to
be adjusted to overcome the weight and size of the gates.
TThe Stall Force potentiometer on the control board operates like a
volume control on a radio. It controls the obstruction sensitivity (or
the amount of force the opener will apply to an obstruction) before it
automatically stops and reverses direction for approximately two (2)
seconds.
Use a small slotted screwdriver to turn the arrow
in the center of the potentiometer. Adjust the sen
-
sitivity from the MINIMUM position where the
gate operates without obstructing from its own
weight or the wind conditions in your area.
NOTE: You may need to increase the
stall force in cold weather due to increased
resistance from gate hinges.
