Step 23:
Feed the low voltage wires upward through the strain relief on the
control box. Pull 6" to 8" of wire into the control box and tighten the
screw on the side of the strain relief to secure wires.
Step 22:
Install low voltage wire (see Accessory Catalog) to connect the control
box to the transformer. This wire should be buried in a trench. Wires
coming from the ground to the control box should be run through PVC
conduit to protect them from lawn mowers, weed eaters and grazing
animals. Do not use telephone wire or any solid core wire. Never
splice wires together!
This table and map illustrates the maximum
number of cycles per day to be expected in a
particular area, using GTO’s 10 watt solar panels
(see Accessory Catalog). Figures are shown for
winter (minimum sunlight) and do not account for
use of any accessory items. Accessories will draw
additional power from the battery.

Important Information About Low voltage Wire
The only wire acceptable for use with GTO products is 16 gauge (minimum) multi-stranded, low voltage, PVC
sheathed wire. This particular gauge enables the transformer to provide an adequate charge through the control
board to the battery at distances up to 1000 ft.
DO NOT use telephone wire or solid core wire. Unlike multi-stranded wire, these types of wire are inadequate for
use with your gate opener system. Telephone wire and solid core wire do not deliver enough voltage for your gate
operator to function and will cause the system to go into a condition known as "low voltage lockout."
Never splice wires together. Splicing permits corrosion and seriously degrades the wire's ability to carry an
adequate current.
