    • 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 → Physical stops exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and guard posts prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure. • Before attaching the operator to the gate, slide the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves freely.

  • 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. The charging circuit on HySecurity DC operators is designed for AGM-type batteries, not lead acid-type batteries. HySecurity strongly recommends that only sealed AGM style batteries be used.

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 42: Wiring 115Vac Power

    Wiring AC Power Wiring 115VAC Power For standard 115VAC power connection: • Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits. The higher voltage from the AC power supply may cause interference and anomalies in SlideSmart operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same conduit.
  • Page 43 Wiring AC Power For the 208/230VAC power connection: • Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits as discussed in Wiring 115VAC Power. • Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5 Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is recommended).

  • Page 44: Usinga Solar Powered Operator

    OWERED PERATOR HySecurity offers a solar version of the SlideSmart operator in 1ft/s or 2ft/s models. The solar models have different internal wiring and include software programmed for solar use. The Smart DC Controller has a built- in charger which allows a 24V solar panel (or two 12V panels) a direct connection to the SlideSmart operator with no additional electronic devices required.

  • Page 45: Connecting The Slidesmart Dcs To Solar Power

    Using A Solar Powered Operator NOTE Solar panels must not be shaded (not even partially) or the output power will be significantly reduced. Panels must be kept clean as small areas of sunlight blockage cause a large reduction in output power. Alignment is also critical because the rated wattage output is based on the solar panels being mounted perpendicular to the angle of the sun’s rays midday on winter solstice (December 21st).
  • Page 46 Using A Solar Powered Operator NOTE For extended battery backup installation instructions, refer to Installing the Extended Battery Backup Kit. 6. Slide the plastic cover off the control box and attach the red spade connector to the battery terminal on the upper DC power switch.

  • Page 47: Connecting Peripherals To Solar Operators

    Using A Solar Powered Operator Connecting Peripherals to Solar Operators CAUTION The 24VAC power supply shown in Figure 2-6 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 48: Understanding Gate Activity Based On Solar Zones

    Sites requiring more than 1, 500 feet of gate travel 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 49: 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.

    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”...

    Using Photoelectric Sensors Instead of Vehicle Loops The ideal reflector mounting suspends it inside a 12-inch long piece of 3-inch PVC conduit. Cut the opening of the PVC conduit at a 45-degree angle to act as a drip shield. Hold the reflector against the backside of the PVC conduit by attaching a 3-inch male connector.
