  GTO 2000XLS Instruction Manual © 02.07.12

Thank you for purchasing a GTO/ACCESS SYSTEMS 2000XLS. When correctly installed and 

properly used, your 2000XLS 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 2000XLS Automatic Gate Operator.  
The 2000XLS operator is designed for installation on a pull-to-open single leaf gate. Each leaf must 

not exceed 16 feet in length nor weigh more than 500 pounds* (please see Technical Specifications 

on page 1). The 2000XLS 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, stop, 

and blow fuses. 

The 2000XLS can be installed on a push-to-open gate with the addition of the push-to-open bracket 

  [3471H].

The 2000XLS operator 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 2000XLS operator features 

adjustable stall force. This safety feature makes the gate 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 2000XLS operator also has an 

adjustable auto-close feature. It can be set to remain open 

from 3 to 120 seconds before automatically closing. Pressing the transmitter button at any time 

after the gate fully opens will cause it to close immediately. “OFF” is the factory setting; meaning 

the gate will stay open until you press the transmitter button (or keypad, etc.) again.
Please call GTO at (800) 543-GATE [4283] or (850) 575-0176 for more information about our GTO/

ACCESS SYSTEMS professional line of gate operators and accessories. Our Sales Department will
