     Set the Close Timer (in the User Menu), if necessary.  Check the Smart DC Controller software version. If needed, upload the latest version from www.hysecurity.com. See Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve Tool (S.T.A.R.T.).  Remove the vent plug from the gear box.

  • Page 13: Safety Requirements

    • A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment. • Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years. • Significant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation. Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for current safety standards and regulations regarding gate operators and automated gates.
  • Page 14 Important Safety Instructions • Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves freely. A gate that swings easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the opening or closing of the gate.

  • Page 15: Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility

    Important Safety Instructions Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility WARNING A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Automatic gate operators move gates with high force. Make sure gates and gate operators are installed to reduce the risks of entrapment. Verify your gate and gate operator comply with UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.

  • Page 16: Hazardous Materials And Proper Disposal

    • Observe the polarity between the batteries and charging circuit. • Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands. HySecurity strongly recommends that only sealed AGM style batteries be used. • Exercise care in handling batteries. Be aware that the metal found in rings, bracelets, and keys can conduct electricity, short the batteries, and cause potential injury.

    Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class The SwingSmart operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the Swing Gate and Vertical Barrier Arm category for gate operators. It’s usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate services. Four different vehicular usage classes are defined by UL 325: Class I Class I: Intended for use in a location of one to four single family dwellings or a...

  • Page 19: Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection

    E device is permitted as a means of secondary entrapment protection by UL 325 in Class IV applications, but it is not recommended by HySecurity because a buzzer warns, but cannot protect against possible entrapment. HySecurity highly recommends, even for Class IV use, that secondary entrapment protection (edge or photo-eye sensor) devices be installed to detect possible entrapment.

  • Page 20: Emergency Stop Button

    Emergency Stop Button MERGENCY UTTON An emergency stop button that is accessible from the outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance with UL325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop button on the SwingSmart operator is located inside a hole cutout on the cover.

  • Page 31: Installing The Linkage Arms

    Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Installing the Linkage Arms NOTE SwingSmart operators ship with a standard left-hand linkage arm. The left-hand linkage arm can be used on a right-hand operator (and vice versa) by flipping the arm. This causes the gate attachment point to be approximately 2-inches (51cm) higher which means the gate bracket needs to be positioned accordingly.

Elbow Set screw Use the set screw to fine- tune the vertical orientation of the pivot bolt and prevent the arm from locking. Pivot bolt must run Note: The elbow pivot bolt must be parallel with the vertical axis of the operator. If the pivot parallel with the vertical bolt is not vertical, binding of the arm assembly may occur during operation.

NOTE Setting the taper clamp with the gate closed impedes traffic flow. If vehicles need to pass through the gate area, delay setting the taper clamp until after the operator has been configured to run.

  • Page 38: Removing The Vent Plug

    Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Removing the Vent Plug To complete the installation, be sure to remove the small red vent plug found on top of the gear box. CAUTION Remove the red vent plug prior to leaving the installation site. Removing the red vent plug improves breathability which increases shaft seal life.

  • Page 39: Chapter 2: Power

    Code (NEC) requires a separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground. HySecurity recommends grounding the operator with a separate earth ground connected to a ground rod to assure proper operation and shield it against electromagnetism and other electrical signals that may cause erratic operation with or damage to the Smart DC Controller.
  • Page 40 Installing the Earth Ground Take the following steps to comply with NEC and NFPA 780 standards: Lug nut 1. Install a grounding rod per local building codes. See Figure 2-1. 2. Attach a large earth ground wire (6AWG) from the grounding rod to the lug nut on the base of the chassis.

    Using A Solar Powered Operator Connecting Peripherals to Solar Operators CAUTION The 24VAC power supply shown in Figure 2-7 is not to be used for peripheral connections because the 24VAC terminals are directly connected to the solar panel inputs. Any peripherals attached to the 24VAC terminals could be severely damaged due to varying voltage levels.

  • Page 49: Understanding Gate Activity Based On Solar Zones

    Sites requiring more cycles per day or those sites located in less sunny climes, need larger capacity batteries. HySecurity offers a 50Ah battery option which provides six times the storage capacity of the standard 8Ah batteries.

  • Page 50: Important Considerations For Dc-Powered Operators

    Batteries are rated to perform to capacity at certain temperatures. Variations in temperature affect performance of the batteries. An example of amp hour performance is shown in Table 2-3. HySecurity mounts the battery pack near the transformer to provide residual heat around the batteries which guards against amp hour loss in colder climates.

    An advantage of using HySecurity model HY-5A detectors is that problematic “cross talk” is not possible. 3. For greater sensitivity and less chance of false calls caused by the motion of the gate, it is better to use multiple smaller loops, connected in a series circuit, to one detector instead of a single large loop.
  • Page 105 Figure 6-6. Detector Logic HySecurity recommends that vehicle detectors be used for free open and obstruction sensing logic only. Because of their slower speeds, closing logic is a poor choice for security gate systems. Since there are several ways that the gate may be left standing open and because there is a loss of safety, our circuit has not been designed to accommodate “detect to close”...

    Photo eyes usually provide alignment aid LED's for this setup, but they can be hard to see. HySecurity has provided a unique feature that turns power on to the photo eyes and causes our buzzer to chirp when the photo eyes enter and exit alignment.
  • Page 111 Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only Notes about retro-reflective systems: Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector is important for trouble free performance. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty optics, condensation or poor weather.
