NOTE: This is not an exhaustive list of compatible safety devices.

Although GTO strongly recommends the use of safety devices, we do not endorse any specific brand names. Below is a
list of some products compatable with GTO operators systems, some of which require their own power supply. Check
with the individual manufacturer for specific power needs.

Only use products that are certified and listed to be in compliance with national and regional safety codes.
