HySecurity provides two warning signs already applied to barrier arms and two signs for attachment to both sides of the operator chassis.
  • Page 14 Locate photo sensors accordingly. Be certain that a suffi cient number of sensors are used so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in arm travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. Most HySecurity gate operators require external entrapment sensors that utilize Normally Closed (NC) contact means of monitoring. HySecurity gate operators utilizing the SmartCNX Controller require external entrapment sensors that have a 10k Ohm or 4-wire pulsed monitoring scheme.

  • Page 29: Power

    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.

  • Page 30: Site Considerations

    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.

  • Page 49: Entrapment Protection

    Install non-contact sensors (photo eyes) beneath the barrier arm to help prevent the barrier arm from lowering on a person if standing under the raised arm. HySecurity gates monitor normally closed (NC) sensors. Wire your NC sensors to SENSOR input terminals (SENSOR 1, SENSOR 2, or SENSOR 3) on the Smart Touch Controllers.

  • Page 50: Table 4: Hysecurity Gate Operators Maintaining Object Detection

    Table 4: HySecurity Gate Operators maintaining Object Detection Table 4 indicates those HySecurity gate operators that may be within the exception parameters of UL 325 or comply with standards other than UL 325, but continue to maintain object detection capabilities. HySecurity strongly recommends that you assess every site for entrapment zones and provide the necessary protection to guard against entrapment.

  • Page 51: Supply Power To The Sensors

    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 121. Until the gate operator receives a command to run (open or close command), the sensors are not receiving power.

  • Page 52: External Entrapment Protection

    Some manufacturers label an output as NO, when it is actually an NC contact. If the photo eye has a solid-state output you must choose a sinking type connection. StrongArm Programming and Operations hysecurity.com | 800-321-9947 MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020...

  • Page 53: Photo Eye Function

    Photo eyes usually provide alignment aid LEDs for this setup, but they can be hard to see. HySecurity provides a unique feature that turns power on to photo eyes and causes buzzer to chirp when the photo eyes enter and exit alignment.

    Vehicle Detector Installation 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 Hy5A mini-detector modules plug directly into the Smart Touch Controller, making field installation much faster and enhancing performance.

    NOTE: If there is any detector fault, the gate operator functions as if the detector is triggered.

    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.

  • Page 100: Photo Eyes (Non-Contact) Installation

    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.

  • Page 101: Configuration

    HySecurity Sensors: Smart Touch on page 121. 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.

    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.

  • Page 120: Strongarm Operator Maintenance Schedule

    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.
