PLEASE READ THIS FIRST!

iii

Thank you for purchasing a 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 

When correctly installed and properly used, your 

GTO/PRO-

SW2500 Operator

 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 

GTO/PRO-

SW2500 Automatic Gate Operator

.

The 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 Operator 

 

is designed for installation on a

 pull-to-open single leaf gate 

(gates that open

into

 the property).  By purchasing an 

accessory bracket

, the 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 Operator 

can accommodate a

 push-

to-open

 

single leaf gate (

gates that open 

out

 from the property).  The gate must not exceed 16 feet in length (per leaf)

nor weigh more than 500 pounds (per leaf) (please see 

Technical Specifications

 on page 10).  The 

GTO/PRO-

SW2500 Operator

 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 operator will obstruct and stop.

The 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 Operator

 accommodates extra transmitters, digital keypads, solar panels, push buttons,

automatic gate locks, and other access control products.  These optional accessories (see the enclosed 

GTO/PRO®

Accessory Catalog

) are available.

The 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 Operator

 features

 adjustable obstruction sensing.  

This safety feature makes the gate stop

and reverse direction within 2 seconds when it comes in contact with an obstruction.  

MIN

 is the factory setting;

meaning the gate will exert the minimum force on an obstruction before it stops and reverses direction.

The 

GTO/PRO-SW2500 Operator

 also has an

 adjustable auto-close feature

.  After the gate reaches the fully open

position, it can be set to remain open up to 120 seconds before automatically closing.  Pressing the transmitter button
at any time after the gate opens fully will cause it to close immediately.  

OFF 

is the factory setting; meaning the gate

will stay open until you press the transmitter (or keypad, etc.) again.

Please call GTO/PRO at 

(800) 543-GATE [4283] 

or

 (850) 575-0176

 for more information about our 

GTO/PRO®

professional line of gate operators and accessories.  Our Sales Department will be glad to give you the name and phone
number of a 

GTO/PRO®

 dealer near you.
