Important Safety Information found in the HySecurity product manuals and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified installers handle the installation of the HySecurity equipment and gate operator. A “qualified” installer has one of the following: •...
Be aware of the international, federal, and local codes in your area and how best to handle hazardous waste materials. The pump pack fluid, found in all hydraulic HySecurity operators, can be recycled. Gear oil, found in HySecurity electromechanical gate operators, can also be recycled. If the fluids are mixed or contaminated with any solvents or other chemicals, they become hazardous waste.
Code (NEC) - Article 250 requires a separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground. HySecurity recommends grounding the operator with a separate earth ground rod (or a similar device in the case of crash products) to shield the operator against electromagnetism and other electrical signals that may cause, erratic operation with, or damage to, the Smart Touch Controller and other electrical parts.
Site Considerations HySecurity gate operators are intended for permanent installation. Make sure you prepare the site with the following considerations: • Make sure all electrical wiring is properly routed via conduits. • Check the distance of the wiring run from the main panel to the gate operator. Make sure the wire size of the branch circuit supplying power to the gate operator is large enough to avoid excess voltage drop.

UL 325 - 2016 manufacturing dates. Build Year (BY) is a factory-setting. Build Year 2 (BY 2) is the default for all HySecurity gate operators indicating a manufacturing date of 2016 in the serial number. Replacement controller boards for existing sites allow for a Build Year setting of 1 (BY 1, pre-2016).
The IES on HySecurity gate operators is an entrapment sensor that is required by UL 325 as a Type “A” detection sensor. It is tripped through software programming OR hydraulic pressure settings. It does not function solely on its own accord and must be connected to the Smart Touch Controller. The sensitivity and response of the IES when tripped is factory set, but can be adjusted through the Installer Menu items: •...
NOTE: All HySecurity gate operators, indicating a manufacturing date of 2016 in the serial number, will have the Build Year set to 2. A Build Year of 2 (BY 2) indicates that your gate operator is prepared to monitor for external entrapment protection sensors.

NOTE: When installing wired edge sensors, the wired edge must be connected to an interface module with an NC output. See Wiring HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 109. For wireless edge sensors, no interface module is required. Wireless edge sensors need the wireless gate links which include a transmitter and receiver.
All external entrapment protection sensors must be wired to the SENSOR COM terminal for monitoring purposes. Review sensor wiring diagrams found in Wiring HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 109. Until the gate operator receives a command to run (open or close command), the sensors are not receiving power.

Vehicle Detector Installation and Logic HySecurity recommends that vehicle detectors be used for free exit and obstruction sensing logic only. The exception is in parking or barrier arm applications where detectors may also be used to close the gate. In applications employing our swing, vertical lift, or sliding gate operators, closing logic cannot be used except when the anti-tailgate logic is employed.
The Smart Touch Controller provides an interface for up to four different vehicle detector functions. NOTE: Standard box type 11 pin (24 VDC or 24 VAC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner, but HySecurity HY-5A mini-detector modules plug directly into the Smart Touch Controller, making field installation much faster and enhancing performance.
NOTE: For illustrations and detailed instructions, refer to the literature supplied with the HY-5A vehicle detectors. The installation instructions are also available online at www.hysecurity.com Install each HY-5A vehicle detector module, one at a time using the following steps: 1. Turn off the AC power switch on the Control Box.

NOTE: To enable fully automatic operation, this gate operator requires a MINIMUM of one external entrapment protection sensor to monitor potential entrapment zones in either the open or close direction of travel. Visit www.hysecurity.com/gatesafety for more information on UL 325 standards and gate safety.
Compatibility The UL 325 standard requires that a photoelectric sensor be laboratory tested and “recognized” under UL 325. In order to be compatible with all HySecurity operators, a photo eye must be rated to function from 24 VDC source power.
HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 109. NOTE: HySecurity gate operators, manufactured with 2016 (or later) in the serial number, require Normally Closed output sensors. Some manufacturers label an output as N.O. (normally open), when it is actually an N.C. (normally closed) contact. Review Table 3:...
UL 325 Standard of Safety for “monitored” external entrapment protection. To understand external SENSOR 1 entrapment protection and how HySecurity equipment Photo Eye sensor terminal connections when monitors sensors, refer to the section titled Entrapment PE sensors used in place of vehicle loops Protection on page 29.
Refer to Table 3: External Entrapment Protection Sensors Approved for Use with HySecurity Gate Operators on page iii. To enable fully automatic operation, this gate operator requires a MINIMUM of one external entrapment protection sensor to monitor potential entrapment zones in either the open or close direction of travel.
The UL 325 standard requires that a gate edge sensor be laboratory tested and “recognized” under UL 325. In order to be compatible with all HySecurity operators, a gate edge sensor must be rated to function from 24 VDC source power. For a list of compatible sensors, see Table 3 on page iii.

Check the wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram associated with the attached sensor. See Wiring HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 109. Be sure the eye “common” wire is wired properly to the SENSOR COM terminal.
NOTE: If the gate speed must be changed, contact your HySecurity distributor or HySecurity Tech Support. Extremely cold weather is unlikely to seriously affect the gate speed because HySecurity employs a special grade of hydraulic fluid (Uniflow), which maintains a linear viscosity over a broad temperature range.
With S.T.A.R.T. software loaded on your laptop computer, you have an invaluable management tool for all HySecurity operators. The RS-232 serial port (found on the Smart Touch Controller), allows you to download system diagnostics and upload system configurations using the S.T.A.R.T. software. The free S.T.A.R.T. software is conveniently located at www.hysecurity.com.
The software on the STC board is periodically being enhanced with new features that create an easier install and improve the on-board diagnostic tools. Be sure to check the HySecurity website for the latest version of software and operator code before heading out for field maintenance.
OntrOLS Stopping the Gate Most models (except SlideDriver 15 and 40) employ a time delay Soft Stop system. Additionally, brake valves are used to control the stopping of heavy or fast moving gates. These valves are exclusive to HySecurity operators. They are independently adjustable to allow the gate to stop predictably and without banging.
Drive wheel assembly tasks are slightly different depending on the type: AdvanceDrive™ or XtremeDrive™. NOTE: Installation instructions are provided with the replacement drive wheels and are accessible online at www.hysecurity.com. A quick look at the drive wheel assembly is shown below. Tighten drive wheel mounting bolts to 25 ft lb.
3. Fill to within ½ inch of the plug level, and then replace plug. NOTICE: Never use brake fluid. It will severely damage the hydraulic system. Use of any fluid other than fluid recommended by HySecurity may void the operator warranty. Solenoid Look for leaks: Occasionally there may be slight seeping at the fittings after some usage.
Special Notes: *1. Your gate and gate hardware will require more maintenance than your HySecurity operator. A damaged gate or worn hardware may cause slow or erratic operation and will result in excess drive wheel wear. Lubricate gate hardware more frequently and check for smooth operation by opening the toggle clamping mechanism and then pushing the gate manually.
Wiring diagrams are provided on the following pages. The diagrams illustrate how to connect sensors and program the gate operator. HySecurity Smart Touch gate operators can monitor entrapment protection sensors per UL 325 - 2015 Standard of Safety using software version h4.50 (or higher).
Use receivers & transmitters Version 1.02 or higher. OUTPUT DIP switches for CH1 and CH2. Verify dip switch is set to “R” for each channel used. HySecurity uses NC SELECT "Relay" sensors. Do NOT select "P" as the output. P = "Pulse" device.
HeckLiSt This check list is provided by HySecurity and is to be used after installing a SlideDriver gate operator. 1. Before checking the items in this list, make sure power is turned OFF at the main power disconnect and the operator’s control box power switch is also in the OFF position.
