Installation; Installation Preparation Checklist - HySecurity StrongArm 14F Programming And Operations Manual

nstallation
1. Read all of the instructions, especially the Important Information in Section 1 at the beginning of this
manual, before you attempt installation. This section is focused upon mechanical installation.
2. Pour a concrete mounting slab that is a minimum of 20" x 20" x 20" with the electrical conduits located
correctly to enter the chassis. Keep in mind that a space of 7 X 11" just inside of the operator door is
where the conduits must enter into the operator. HySecurity recommends a slab reaches below the
local frost line. See the footprint plan and elevation view.

nstallation
1. Drill four holes for concrete anchors
The operator must be mounted with four anchor bolts. These will
be 12.5" on center with a square pattern to match the chassis base.
Line up the operator so that the end of the barrier arm is in the
intended position. Place the operator over the conduit and mark the
mounting holes. Once marked, remove the operator and drill for
½" min. anchor bolts. An earth ground refers to the grounding rod
and accompanying equipment ground which need to be installed
to safeguard against potential electrical shock and damage to
personnel and equipment.
2. Line up the operator
Set the operator over the mounting bolts, align the operator and
securely tighten the bolts.
3. Special two part operators
DC powered operators come with a separate power enclosure. This
enclosure should be mounted within 20 feet of the operator. We
recommend wall mounting or using two 4" posts, with horizontal
mounting strut to create a support for this enclosure. See also step 6
and section 8 on two part operators.
4. Electrical power Connection
This operator is intended for permanent installation, so all electrical
conduits must be properly connected to the control box. The entry
for the primary power is a ½ - ¾" knockout on the left side of our
control box next to the onoff switch. This operator was built to run on
a specific voltage and phase for line power. Make sure the available
line voltage and phase matches the nameplate on this machine. Also
be certain that the wire size of the branch circuit vs. the distance of
the run from the main panel is large enough to avoid excess voltage
drop. At a minimum, a 20 amp circuit (protected with a 20 Amp
Inverse Time Breaker) should be provided. Also be sure the operator
is electrically well grounded per NEC Article 250 and local codes.
See the Appendix section for correct wire sizes and detailed electrical wiring information.
5. Primary tap of Control Transformer (not on DC battery powered operators)
Check to make sure that the primary tap on the control transformer matches the line voltage you have
connected to the operator. Measure the line voltage carefully to distinguish between 208V and 230V
branch circuits. A label on top of the transformer identifies the various taps.
