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.

HySecurity monitors all external entrapment sensors connections by looking for NC contacts connected to input terminals. Smart touch software cycles power to device and looks for a time delay from when device powers on to when the contact closes (sensor input pulled low, meaning the sensor is not blocked/tripped).

An Edge Sensor can be either hardwired through an adapter module (Hy2NC) or a wireless transmitter receiver combo (WEL-200 or iGAZE RE). Figure below shows the wiring and dip switch settings of a WEL-200. For more information and wiring diagrams of other recommended sensors see the “HySecurity External Entrapment Sensor Wiring Guide”.
The Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) 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.
SENSOR 3 S3 SENSOR 3 NOTE: NOTE: Three inputs for external entrapment protection sensors are available on the HySecurity gate operator controller. Table 3 indicates how the edge and photo eye inputs have been renamed to generic “sensor” inputs. They are interchangeable and configurable.
Page 52
NOTE: 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 131. 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 131. Until the gate operator receives a command to run (open or close command), the sensors are not receiving power (pre-h.4.56 and h.5.57 software).

Initial Setup Once you have completed the installation of the HySecurity operator and attached the wired accessories, you’re ready to program the operator. Two different approaches exist: • Connect a laptop computer to the serial RS-232 connector and set the operator menu configurations via the S.T.A.R.T.
Initial Setup Using S.T.A.R.T. With the S.T.A.R.T. application (available online after registering at HySecurity) uploaded to your PC laptop, you can choose to set site menu configurations from the comfort of your office. Then, simply bring your PC laptop to the gate operator site, connect to the gate operator using an RS-232 to serial download cable and USB adapter, and download the configured menu settings file from your laptop to the specified gate operator.

Vehicle Detector Installation and Loop Layouts 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.

NOTE: Hy5A emulation mode does not include all the features of Hy5B. If you are replacing Hy5A detectors and updating the gate operator software, be aware Build Year 1 (BY1) or Build Year 2 (BY2) will need to be addressed.

The UL 325 Standard of Safety requires that an edge sensor be laboratory tested and “recognized” under UL 325. In order to be compatible with all HySecurity gate operators, a edge sensor must be rated to function from 24 VDC source power.
Hard-wired edge sensor adaptors (like Hy2NC) have inputs for up to two resistor terminated edges and up to two NC contact outputs. • HySecurity suggests the use of hard-wired edge sensor adaptors with an edge mounted to lead fence post to protect draw-in entrapment zone when the gate is running.

A general set of troubleshooting procedures are provided in the following paragraphs. Use a voltmeter to take the measurements described in the steps. If at any point in the process, a result different than what’s expected occurs, stop and identify the problem. Refer to Wiring HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 131. AC-Powered Gate Operators PROBLEM 1: Pushed the OPEN and CLOSE button, but the motor is not running.
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.
SSoftware Maintenance STC board software is constantly being enhanced with new features that create an easier install and improve on board diagnostic tools. Check the HySecurity website for atest version of software before heading out for field maintenance. Use S.T.A.R.T. software to download latest software version to a PC laptop and upload it to gate operator in the field.
Mechnical Controls 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 - 2016 Standard of Safety using software version h4.50 (or later).
