BEFORE YOU START...
HOW THE DIGITAL LIGHT KIT WORKS:
The Digital Light Kit is designed to work in conjunction with GTO automatic gate openers to illuminate
the entry way while the gate is being opened and closed during night time hours. The low voltage lights
are controlled by a digital control board that is connected to the gate opener’s controller. The lights are
activated when the gate begins to open and can be adjusted to remain on for up to 120 seconds. The
photo cell allows the lights to only come on at night which conserves energy and battery power, making
the Digital Light Kit ideal for low voltage DC powered automatic gate openers.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW:
The lights can be assembled to mount on the face of your gate posts or on top of the posts. Once you
determine where you want to mount the lights, you will assemble the lights and attach them to the gate
post. Low voltage wire (RB509) will be needed to connect the lights mounted on the gate post to the
light kit control board. GTO recommends that all wires be run in PVC conduit.
The light kit control board is normally mounted inside the gate opener’s control box close to the gate
opener’s control board. If it will not fi t in the gate opener’s control box or your gate opener doesn’t
have a control box, a weatherproof junction box must be used to house the light kit control board and
low voltage wire (RB509) must be used to connect the light kit control board to the gate opener control
board.
The photocell will be mounted in the bottom of either the gate opener’s control box or the weatherproof
junction box, depending on where you installed the light kit control board.
After everything is installed, you will program the light kit control board for the length of time you wish
the lights to remain on after the gate is opened.
IMPORTANT:
16 gauge, multi-stranded, direct burial, low voltage wire (RB509) is required
to connect the lights to the digital control board (see diagram below) and in some cases small
sections will be needed to connect light kit control board to gate operator control board.
