GTO/PRO SW4002XLS Dual Swing Gate Opener An exciting time in the world of gate openers. GTO/PRO has released a new PRO SW4000 series of gate openers, the PRO-SW4000XLS series. The XLS series has a number of improvements over its predecessor including a 10% increase in the operating speed. The XLS series also contains a new rev-counter board with reed switch technology, which helps the gate opener determine its position. In addition, the XLS series includes an improved front mount and scraper seal design. Unfortunately, the new XLS series control boards and arms are not cross compatible with the XL series. So, if you purchase an XLS arm for your XL control board, they will not work together. The PRO SW4002XLS Dual Opener can be used in most heavy residential or light commercial applications including automating gates made of farm tubing, steel, aluminum, wood, and chain link, along with many other gate types. This opener can be set on the left or right and is used in the standard pull-to-open operation. By using the same bracket accessory the PRO SW4002XLS can be used to push the gate open away from the property with the arms still mounted on the inside. The PRO SW4002XLS Dual Opener is a low voltage system, eliminating the need to run 110 AC to your gate. Simply run 16-gauge low voltage to a household outlet within 1000' of the operator or use a solar panel. With the PRO SW4002XLS oversized control box you can house two 7 amp/hour batteries to accommodate higher opening cycle situations and extra storage for solar. (One battery included, second battery may be purchased separately) The PRO SW4002XLS single Opener is made with longevity and compatibility in mind. It can be used with GTO Inc.'s complete line of accessories including keypads, transmitters, exit wands, gate locks, solar panels, and more. The bracket options vary by application:
- Standard Bracket is for post applications on smaller, light weight gates (max weight 650 lbs. per leaf).
- Column Mount Bracket is for gates that are hinged to a column (max weight 650 lbs. per leaf).
- Heavy Duty Bracket is for larger or heavier gates (max weight 1,000 lbs. per leaf).
*In Some Situations: The bracket that comes with the PRO 4002XLS is 10" long. Depending on where you can position the brackets that are attaching the 10" bracket to the post or column and the position of the hinge a longer bracket may be needed to give the opener arm 2" of clearance in the open position. Rear face of a column: Most gates are mounted on the inside face of the column, the side facing the driveway, and then you mount your gate opener on the rear face of the column, the side facing the inside of the property. The important distance in terms of mounting your gate opener is the distance from the hinge of the gate to the back face of the column. Gate Crafters has the resources you need.
How do you use your gate opener system once you get it? Gate Crafters is the only retailer to give a real answer to this question. We have develop videos for installing many of our gate openers and products and write DIY focused manuals for most gate openers and have individual instructions for each accessory to be installed with each gate opener.
|
- Soft Start/Soft Stop -Soft start/soft stop is a feature in which the control board, during the set up process, learns where your opening and closing points are for the swing of the gate. Then during normal operation the gate operator automatically slows the motion of the gate to smoothly meet with the gates destination point. This feature can also be turned off.
- Closing Timer -Set your gate to close between 0 and 100 seconds after reaching the full open position or turn this option off to leave it open until an entry device activates closing motion.
- Learn Mode -With the GTO/PRO 4002XLS the learning process, the end points are determined by the user via remote. A simple press of the transmitter tells the opener where to stop and when the opener is set to the desired stop points, save the settings on the board.
- Oversized Control Box Housing - The GTO/PRO 4002XLS oversized control box can house (2) 7 amp/hour batteries and is rated for outdoor use (only one is included with purchase). It is resistant to high winds, sand, dust, rain, snow, sleet, and freezing water, protecting your valuable control board from the elements and your battery from corrosion.

Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony Geato | Top of Page |
"The PRO SW4002XLS has a longer arms than the GTO/Pro SW3000XLS. Featuring true soft start and stop, the PRO SW4002XLS helps to preserve the life of the gate and opener arm itself. When your gate approaches its endpoints the opener will slow the momentum of the gate to meet with the positive stops. Another advantage of the PRO SW4002XLS is the oversized control box. GTO listened attentively to the wishes of their installers and answered with their new design. Installers many times wish to use an extra battery for larger number of cycles, extra power storage for solar, or battery assistance in extreme cold weather. The new control box design has an extra storage space built in for a second battery. With GTO products you get factory support during business hours. When purchased through Gate Crafters however, you get installation or technical support 9am - 9pm, 7 days a week. Gate Crafters has years of experience with GTO Inc. openers as well as many other brands and accessories and is readily available 7 days a week.

Gate Crafters Suggested System Enhancements |
Top of Page |
|
Add: A 433 MHz Receiver and Remotes
|
|
Why: The Mighty Mule comes with a 318 MHz receiver and remote. 318 MHz has heavy interference and a range of 50 feet or many times less.
433 is a much stronger frequency and averages a 300 foot range and many time longer. The difference is being able to press your remote button and
continue to drive towards your gate vs. pressing your remote while you have already stopped next to your gate. Also with 433 MHz you may be able
to reach your gate to active it from your house if you are within 300 feet of your gate.

What to buy:
|
|
|
FAQ on enhancement:
I still have old remotes I would like to use with the Mighty Mule I am buying but I like the idea of having a few longer range remotes, can I
use both?
Yes, you will still have a 318 MHz from the gate opener purchase. You can have both the new and the old receiver wired into the board.
Does this apply to the other mighty mule accessories too like the F3100 MBC wireless intercom?
Yes, any 318 wireless will be able to work, you will simply have a second frequency available to use for more reliability for the 433 remotes
purchased.
Is it easy to wire in? Where can I find instructions and wire to do this?
It is very easy and here are the instructions on how to do so:
Use one pair of 2 conductor wire (18 - 22 gauge) from the receiver to the control board. Connect left terminal SW1 on the receiver to
terminal CYCLE on the gate opener, connect the right terminal SW1 on the receiver to terminal COMMON on the gate opener.
Use a second pair of two conductor wire from the receiver to the battery. Connect the terminal V+ on the receiver to the positive spade on
the battery, connect the terminal GND on the receiver to the negative spade of the battery.
We sell wire for this or it can be found at any home improvement store.
What other cool features am I getting because of buying this?
Glad you asked, one of our favorite features is the fact that the 433 receiver has two channels and the remotes have multiple buttons. What this
means is you can have one button open your gate and another unlock a pedestrian gate. Or buy a second receiver and have better range for your
garage door too all controlled by one remote.
Or you could program one set of remotes to channel 1 that is directly wired into the mighty
mule and another set of remotes that are programmed to channel 2 which you have wired into a timer (sold separately). You could then have one group of remotes work day and
night and another group of remotes only access the property during business hours.

Add: A Gate Crafters Automatic Gate Lock
|
|
Why: The Gate Crafters automatic gate lock is on par as the most reasonably priced gate lock on the market and it shares the same feature
as the revolutionary Estate Swing Low Impact gate lock. The lock only
requires 1 pound of force to latch the gate closed. This is a huge change from the GTO gate lock that requires nearly 10 pounds of force. With
the advent of soft stop gate openers, which this one is, the standard design of gate lock is not consistently latching to a locked position
because of lack of slamming. The Estate Swing Low Impact lock solved this issue and the Gate Crafters gate lock is designed the same as that lock,
it just comes in zinc coated silver instead of powder coated black like the Estate Swing lock.
In general a gate lock is a great accessory to add to your driveway gate opener system. The gate opener is designed to be a device to open and
close your gate. However against forced entry the gate opener is no match. If an individual intentionally and forcefully pushed on the end of the
gate they could very easily overtake and damage the gate opener motor. This is because of the leverage the individual would have on the operator
by pushing at the end of the gate. Also high winds could have the same effect. A gate lock physically locks the gate in the closed position with
1300 lbs. of resistance. It is wired to the gate opener to automatically release when the gate opener begins to open. It only requires power when
releasing so it is solar compatible and it has a key release in case of electrical failure.

FAQ on enhancement:
Can this be used in all situations, pull to open, single, dual, etc.?
Yes, there is a way to mount it for all applications.
Yes, 25 feet of wire pre-attached to the back of the lock.
Is it easy to wire in? Where can I find instructions to do this?
It is very easy and here are the instructions on how to do so:
Connect the White wire of the lock to terminal LOCK+ of the gate opener control board.
Connect the Black wire of the lock to terminal LOCK- of the gate opener control board.

Add: Gate Crafters Solar Panel
|
|
Why: Solar panels have become a commodity. They all provide the same service, producing energy from sunlight. Now it’s all about price and
warranty. And the Gate Crafters solar panel can't be beat. It is a great price and has a 10 year warranty.
|
|
What to buy:
|
|
|
FAQ on enhancement:
Does this come with a mounting stand?
Yes it does, as well as 10 feet of wire to lead from the panel to the board.
Can I extend that 10' of wire?
Yes, you can have the solar panel located up to 200' away. We encourage you to move the panel to an optimal location rather than trying to make
the 10' location work. You want a location that the solar panel can face south and receive full sun all day without shadows.
Is it easy to wire in? Where can I find instructions to do this?
It is very easy and here are the instructions on how to do so:
Connect the positive wire of the solar panel to terminal SOLAR of the gate opener control board.
Connect the negative wire of the solar panel to terminal SOLAR of the gate opener control board.

Add: A Gate Crafters Safety Infrared Photo Eye
|
|
Why: The importance of safety can never be over estimated. These are easy to install, reliable, and attractive. And best of all very cost
effective.

What to buy:

|
| Gate Crafters Safety Infrared Photo Eye|
|
FAQ on enhancement:
Doesn't this gate opener have built in safety features?
Yes, when it hits a car it will reverse. However it has to hit a car first and depending on the speed of the car, the gate may rip the gate right
off its hinges. At the very least you are looking at a probable scratch on your car.
Where do I put these?
Most people place them so the safety beam is going across the driveway right past the closed position of the gate. In this case they can
typically use the gate posts to mount the photo eyes on. Some people choose to use two sets of photo eyes however. One right past the closed
position of the gate and another set right past the open position of the gate. This would create a safety zone - a car should break the beam when
in the path of the gate from either direction. If doing this we suggest purchasing mounting posts for the second set of the photo eyes.
Is it easy to wire in? Where can I find instructions to do this?
It is very easy and here are the instructions on how to do so:
Terminal OUT of photo eye to SFTY terminal of gate opener
Terminal COM of photo eye COMMON Terminal of gate opener
Terminal + of photo eye to Battery spade positive (+) of gate opener’s battery
Terminal - of photo eye to Battery spade negative (-) of gate opener’s battery
Set jumper in photo eye to NO
Wire needed for installation: Two pairs of 2 conductor wire (18 - 22 gauge) to go from the primary photo eye to the gate opener and battery. One pair of 2 conductor wire to go under the driveway to the secondary eye.
What other cool features am I getting because of buying this?
Another use for this device is as an opening device. If you would like a low cost version of an automatic exit device this can be placed on posts further down the driveway and wired so when a car breaks the beam the gate is triggered to open. Here is how to wire it for this:
Terminal OUT of photo eye to EXIT terminal of gate opener
Terminal COM of photo eye COMMON Terminal of gate opener
Terminal + of photo eye to Battery spade positive (+) of gate opener’s battery
Terminal - of photo eye to Battery spade negative (-) of gate opener’s battery
Set jumper in photo eye to NO
One thing to note, this is not a good solution for families with children or dogs that may break the beam, open the gate, and walk out.

Add: An Estate Swing party mode button
|
|
Why: This button will override the automatic reclose on the gate for days you want to keep the gate open. More importantly hold the gate open without you having to access the control board.
|
|
What to buy:
|
|
|
FAQ on enhancement:
Where does the button go?
Many people locate it down at the gate on the bottom of the control box. Or you can run 2 conductor wire to a secure location.
Is it easy to wire in? Where can I find instructions to do this?
It is very easy and here are the instructions on how to do so:
Recommended method - for security
Connect one wire of the button to SFTY terminal of gate opener
Connect other wire of the button to COMMON terminal of gate opener
In the above method you would trigger your gate with an opening device. When the gate is fully open press the party mode button and the gate will stay open until the party mode button is pressed again. Then the gate will go closed through the auto re-close feature.
Alt method - for the button mounted in secure location
Connect one wire of the button to EXIT terminal of gate opener
Connect other wire of the button to COMMON terminal of gate opener
In the above method you would trigger your gate by pressing the party mode button and the gate will go open and stay open until the party mode button is pressed again. Then the gate will go closed through the auto re-close feature.
