Depending on the type of gate and fence post, you may need some additional materials/hardware. Some of these
items can be found in the GTO/PRO Accessory Catalog.
•
Low voltage wire may be needed. Length depends upon the distance between the transformer power supply
and the control box. See page 22, Powering the System and the Accessory Catalog for wire and solar
charging panels.
•
If the gate is more than 1000' away from an AC power source you will need to use at least one GTO Solar
Panel to trickle charge the battery. See the Accessory Catalog.
•
The diameter of the fence post should be at least 8" (round) or 6" (square) in order to mount the post bracket
(see page 13).
•
Depending upon the diameter of the fence post, you may need longer carriage bolts than those provided.
Bolts should be at least 1" longer than the diameter of the fence post (see page 13).
•
A horizontal or vertical cross member or mounting plate may be needed to mount the operator to the gate.
See page 12.
