StrongArm Programming and Operations
Possible Cause & Suggested Corrective Action
Operator received command to run open, but movement is
prevented. Gate edge blocked or disconnected and causes
operator to enter SAFE mode.
Gate edge is not recognized as active.
• Replace sensor batteries
• If using Miller Monitored Edge Link, be aware. Issues with radio
interference cause false trips. Placing the antenna high and
reducing environmental "noise" is critical to proper wireless
transmission. Avoid placing the receiver sets within 100 feet of
each other as crosstalk may occur. Use receivers & transmitters
Version 1.02 or higher.
• Verify wired edges are using a gate edge converter-type module.
Miller Edges must have a wire with blue tape. The blue tape
indicates that a resistor is built in.
• Check N.C. wiring (verify wires are not disconnected or shorted)
• Review wiring diagrams. Especially path to SENSOR COM
• Make sure SENSOR settings S1, S2, and S3 are correctly assigned.
Refer to External Entrapment Protection Sensors: What the
Installer Needs to Do on page 27.
Set FA 1 in the User Menu, to enable this option. The operator
will attempt to re-close itself if forced off the close limit switch, the
buzzer sounds for 30 seconds. Check for attempted unauthorized
access, external pressure trying to open the gate or a mis-adjusted/
failed closed limit switch.
Set F0 1 in the User Menu, to enable this option. If a gate should
begin to drift closed it automatically reopens (for up to 4s) once it
leaves the full open limit. If it is not back on the open limit at the
end of 4s, an audible alert occurs. Check for mis-adjusted/failed
open limit, mis-adjusted brake valve, outside pressure (wind, fallen
trees) or cylinder leakage affecting drift issue.
Will self-clear after an open or close input.
The motor windings have exceeded a preset temperature generally
due to excessive current. Verify:
• The motor connections are correct for the supply voltage
• Running voltage is within 10% of rated
• High starting currents last 2 seconds or less; if not and voltage
during start is correct, on 1Ø units you can replace the start
switch/capacitor
• Motor running current (all phases) is at or below rated ( at normal
pressures)
• When the motor is cool, open the motor connection box,
disconnect the 2 small wires going into the motor, and use an
ohmmeter to check continuity of these wires. They should be a
short circuit; if not, replace the motor.
The STC is seeing both limits tripped at the same time. For
HydraWedge SM50, check for a stuck limit switch or debris
caught in limit switch area and repair any wiring issues. On
electromechanical gate operators and StrongArmCrash, reset the
limits through the Installer Menu item, LL Learn Limits.
Is the pump developing pressure? Are the brake valves set
properly? Is there hardware holding the gate?
• Check fluid levels and brake valve settings.
HY-5A detector has detected a frequency change outside the
normal range. Check the loops and the integrity of the loop
installation.
HY-5A detector has detected a short circuit in the loop. Temporarily
switch detector to be sure the loop is at fault and then repair it.
HY-5A detector has sensed that the loop has become an open
circuit. Check all connections and/or use an ohmmeter to find out
where the break is.
Communication issue between the HY-5A and the Smart Touch
Controller; reset and try again. Replace the HY-5A if the problem
continues.
