ELECTRICAL CONTROLS
CAUTION
Before servicing, turn OFF all power switches.
No routine maintenance is needed for the
electrical system or controls. If the environment is
very sandy or dusty, or has many insects, be certain
to seal all holes in the electrical enclosure. Blow
the dust out of the electric panel with compressed
air. Use "Smart DC Controller Troubleshooting"
on page 99 to assess and fix error, alert, and
fault codes. If it is necessary to call a distributor
for assistance, be sure to have your model and
serial number ready. Other helpful information
includes the name of the job, approximate date of
installation, and the service record of the operator.
MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Before checking internal mechanisms of
operator, turn off all power switches.
SlideSmart mechanical maintenance is not in
depth or difficult, but should be performed on a
routine basis. Operator chassis is zinc plated, but
some environments may speed corrosion of this
plating.
Schedule regular maintenance and look for the
following:
• Verify drive belt has proper tension. Check for
drive belt wear. Fraying edges or missing teeth
indicate that drive belt needs to be replaced.
Refer to "Drive Belt Tension And Alignment"
on page 116.
• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are
found, reduce spread of corrosion by treating
areas with a rust inhibitor.
• Check motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes
which wear over time and must be replaced.
Failure to replace brushes will result in DC motor
damage. Brushes should be inspected every
year in high usage applications or every 100,000
cycles and replaced as needed.
• Replace worn-out batteries. Refer to "DC
Battery Replacement" on page 117 and "Clock
Battery Replacement" on page 118.
SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE
SDC 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 SlideSmart
gate operator in the field.
NOTICE
If the site includes a bi-parting gate system,
make sure the software version used in the
Master and Slave operators is identical.
