IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the barrier arm. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING ARM.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The barrier arm MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. KEEP BARRIER ARM GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the installation and operating manual. Have a qualifi ed service person make repairs to gate hardware.
6. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate pathway that prevents contact with the barrier arm.
7. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
IDENTIFYING GATE OPERATOR CATEGORY AND UL 325 USAGE CLASS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY
WARNING!
This automatic gate operator is not designed nor is it intended for pedestrian traffi c. Vehicular gate operators must by their nature be powerful to function reliably. This power can cause injury or death. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian traffi c to a separate walk-through.
Install this gate operator only when:
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage Class of the gate.
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
The operator is intended for installation only on barrier arms used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons will not come in contact with the vehicular barrier arm during the entire path of travel of the barrier arm.
Permanently mounted controls intended for user activation must be located at least 1.83 m (6 ft) away from any moving part of the arm and where the user is prevented from reaching over, under, around or through the barrier arm to operate the controls.
EXCEPTION:
Emergency access controls should be only accessible by authorized personnel (e.g. fi re, police, EMS) and may be placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not cause the operator to start.
A minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed, in the area of the gate. Each placard is to be visible by persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard is installed. HySecurity provides two warning signs already applied to barrier arms and two signs for attachment to both sides of the operator chassis.
For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Photo Eye):
See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensors for each type of application.
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.
One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of obstruction exists, such as just below the barrier arm.
USE OF VEHICLE DETECTORS
Use of vehicle detectors (loop detectors) is strongly encouraged to prevent damage to vehicles caused by barrier arms closing on them. This is not considered to be a safety item as vehicle detectors cannot provide protection to pedestrians. In some situations, photoelectric devices may be used as vehicle detectors, but should be wired accordingly.
GATE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY
Gate construction plays a very important role in ensuring the safety of any automated gate system. The standard for gate construction is ASTM F2200. Below are key areas to address in gate design for safety. For complete information consult the standard. Copies of the standard are available at: https://www.astm.org/Standards/F2200.htm.
Another source of information is available from DASMA, the Door and Access System Manufacturer’s Association.
The Association publishes Technical Data Sheets, one of which concerns ASTM F2200. For more information, see: http://www.dasma.com/PDF/Publications/TechDataSheets/OperatorElectronics/TDS370.pdf.
MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020
Important Safety Instructions hysecurity.com | 800-321-9947 13
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GATE CONSTRUCTION
Gates shall be constructed in accordance with the provisions given for the appropriate gate type listed. Refer to ASTM F2200 for additional gate types.
Protrusions shall not be permitted on any gate. Consult ASTM F2200 for exceptions.
Gates shall be designed, constructed and installed such that their movement shall not be initiated by gravity when an automatic operator is disconnected.
For pedestrian access in the vicinity of an automated vehicular gate, a separate pedestrian pathway shall be provided. The pedestrian pathway shall be installed in a location such that a pedestrian shall not come in contact with a moving vehicular barrier arm.
Any non-automated gate that is to be automated shall be upgraded to conform to the provisions of this specifi cation.
This specifi cation shall not apply to gates generally used for pedestrian access and to vehicular gates not to be automated.
Any existing automated gate, when the operator requires replacement, shall be upgraded to conform to the provisions of this specifi cation in eff ect at that time.
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION SENSORS
It is highly recommended that the site designer or installer use photo eyes as the primary safety device. Edge sensors are not appropriate for barrier arms as described below.
PHOTO EYES: One or more non-contact sensor (photo eyes) shall be located where the risk of being hit exists, such as across the path below the barrier arm.
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is moving.
EDGE SENSORS: Edge sensors are not appropriate for use with a barrier arm as the contact sensor must make physical contact to function, and so cannot prevent a barrier arm from striking a person or object.
SENSOR FUNCTION and COMMUNICATION: A sensor that transmits its signal to gate operator must be located so its signal is not impeded by building structures or other obstructions. All sensors must be installed so that they function as intended for end-use conditions.
UL 325 LISTING: Barrier arms are not categorized as needing many of the requirements under UL that slide and swing gates require, but photo eyes must be tested and labeled as “Recognized Components” or otherwise certifi ed to UL 325 requirements in order to be deemed acceptable for use in a barrier arm gate operator. Study
Important Safety Instructions and consider your specifi c installation to determine where greatest risks exist.
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. Refer to UL website at www.ul.com
for most up-to-date list of gate operator safety standards (UL 325). Refer to www.astm.org
for a complete list of ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
HySecurity Vertical Barrier Arm Safety and Traffi c Control
High levels of force are generated by moving traffi c barrier arms. Ensure arm installation, warning signs and safety devices are properly installed and operated to address the following hazards:
• Pinch points
• Entrapment areas
•
Overhead power lines
•
Traffi c speed
•
Arm striking persons or vehicles
• Restriction of motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.
Refer to the list below for safety features available for the installation of a barrier arm gate system. Refer to the drawings on the next page for a visual reference of these features.
WARNING!
The primary hazard for barrier arms is the barrier arm striking a person as it is lowered, so any measures to prevent persons from entering the area under the arm will be most eff ective in ensuring safety. A non-contact photo-eye sensor
(see below) is recommended for maximum protection as it will prevent the arm lowering if the beam is interrupted by the presence of a person under the arm.
1
Non-Contact Sensor (Photo Eye)
Located directly below the arm, this sensor will minimize the potential for a barrier arm to impact a vehicle not sensed by a ground loop.
2
Loop Sensor
Loop sensors sense the prescence of moving vehicles ONLY and prevents the barrier arm from impacting vehicular traffi c. Confi guration and placement depends on application. Loops do not sense persons.
3
Traffi c Light
Traffi c lights help control traffi c fl ow through the gate.
4
Separate Pedestrian Walkway
A pedsestrian walkway separate from gate entry is REQUIRED, and serves to prevent pedestrians from coming into contact with the arm.
5
LED Lights on Barrier Arm
Arm mounted LED lights allow the arm and its position to be easily seen in dark environments.
6
Speed Bump
A speed bump may help regulate traffi c speed through the gate.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WIND LOAD FACTORS
Wind load is not as much of a factor when considering using a barrier gate for a particular site instead of a slide or swing gate. However, when installing a barrier arm gate in a high wind area, Hysecurity suggests the following:
•
Gate arms should be lowered during high wind conditions to avoid damage to the arm.
•
Metal hardware (rather than nylon) should be used to affi x the arm to the operator.
MAINTENANCE OF GATE SYSTEMS
To keep your automated gate system performing both safely and reliably it is important to ensure that the components of the system are functioning properly.
At least monthly:
Disconnect the gate operator and manually move the barrier arm through its range of travel. Note any unusual noises or areas of binding. The arm should travel smoothly and quietly throughout its range. If it does not, contact a gate professional to correct the problem.
Reconnect the gate operator and perform the following tests:
•
With the arm closing, block any photo eyes used to protect the arm lowering direction. The gate should stop and reverse direction.
•
Using a suitable obstruction in the path of the arm (a solid, immovable object), close the arm until it contacts the obstruction. The arm should stop and reverse direction.

WARNING
Before attempting a manual release, make sure the gate is not in motion and power is disconnected
(turned OFF) .
Make sure and teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the barrier arm manually.
Know the weight of the barrier arm that you are moving. Even with the proper counter weights, an excessively heavy arm can be difficult to move and may cause serious injury to those involved in moving it. Take the necessary precautions when manually moving any gate or barrier arm.
1. Press Open or Close to place the arm at a 45° angle.
2. Press Stop when the arm reaches a 45° angle.
3. Close the Needle valve. Loosen the lock nut and turn the valve CW until it stops.
4. Pull the black Manual Bypass knob out and lock it open by twisting it ¼ turn before releasing it.

Installation
i nstallation
P reParation
C heCklist
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.
i 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.
MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020
Installation hysecurity.com | 800-321-9947 23
6. Power Connection for Two Part Battery Operators
The primary AC power must be routed to the DC power supply enclosure, but there must conduits between the gate operator and the DC supply enclosure. Note: AC power is not needed in the gate operator enclosure, unless there is an optional heater. Three separate DC circuits are required between the battery supply and the gate operator. Heavy gage wires to supply the motor and two 14-gage circuits for the controls. The heavy gauge wire must be at least 6-gauge if the DC supply is within 20 feet of the operator, but must be increased to 2-gauge if the DC supply is located farther from the operator. For full details, review the section titled “Two Part Operators”.
7. Replace the Vent Plug!
Remove the ½” steel or plastic shipping plug on the pump manifold (left rear corner) and replace it with the supplied black breather cap.
8. Configuring the Smart Touch Controller
The operator controls will not allow the gate to function until the Smart Touch Controller has been configured. Wait to connect the external controls until you have reviewed the Smart Touch Controller instructions, and tested the basic functions of the operator.
Attaching Barrier Arms to the Operator
1. Bolt arm(s) to operator. The maximum length for a single wood board is 14’ length. Wood arms that are longer than 14’ must be twin arms bolted together near the tip.
2. Counterweights must be used for all arms over 18’ in length, to assure proper performance. Verify proper balance by following step #2 on StrongArm (HTG 320) adjustments page.
3. Tubular aluminum arms may be single side mounted up to 18’ in length. All arms over 18’ must be mounted into a center yoke adapter. Arms longer than 24’ are aluminum/fiberglass and include cables to make the arm more rigid, see the arm drawings for their proper location and installation.
Basic Testing
Test the operator for smooth control of the barrier arm. The arm should stop smoothly at each end of travel.
If any adjustments are necessary, carefully review the StrongArm (HTG 320) adjustments page. Do not leave the job site without correcting an operator that is stopping abruptly on its limits or damage to the mechanical drive components may occur.
If your operator is equipped with vehicle detectors, be certain that they are either unplugged or connected to a loop so that they do not cause interference with the function of the machine. If the motor turns, but nothing moves, reverse two poles of a three-phase power source, and/or verify that the bypass valve is closed. To check the bypass valve, verify that the round black knob near the hydraulic hose connection point on the pump is not toggled to the bypass position.
Install Accessory Items
1. After all basic functions are verified, and adjustments made, connect any accessory or external control wiring.
2. Vehicle detectors: If vehicle detectors are to be used, review the section pertaining to detector loop sizing and layout.
3. Button station operation: Install the push button control within sight of the gate arm. Be certain the opening is clear before closing gate. Mount a sign, which advises that the area be clear before operation, adjacent to button station.
4. Protection: Mount a photo eye below the arm and/or an edge sensor to the leading edge of gate according to its manufacturers specifications.
Install Warning Signs And Safety Information Labels
1. Be sure to install all of the warning signs or labels that were supplied with this operator. If these labels have been misplaced or lost, call your local distributor or the factory for replacements.

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.
DANGER
The potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, fences and gate operators. National Electric
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.
For earth grounding requirements in the U.S.A., refer to the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 780 - Standard for the Installation of Lightning Protection Systems. Highlights of the standard include:
• The ground rod must be UL listed copper-clad steel, solid copper, hot-dipped galvanized steel, or stainless steel. Minimum requirements: ⅝ inch (16 mm) diameter and 8 feet (244 cm) in length.
• The ground rod is driven into the earth (refer to local codes for proper depth requirements).
• The ground rod is electrically bonded to the chassis with a single length of un-spliced 6 AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91 cm) long. Due to the large concrete foundation on crash products, make the necessary adjustments to accommodate for earth ground requirements.
• Local jurisdictions may impose other requirements
above the NEC, Article 250 and NFPA 780. Consult the local codes and regulations regarding requirements in your area.

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. Refer to
Wire Sizing and Runs on page 32.
• Make sure the available power source matches the electrical requirements specified on the voltage nameplate.
WARNING
Each gate operator is built to run on a specific line power voltage and phase. Failure to ensure the source voltage, phase and frequency match what is specified for the equipment, may result is severe damage to the equipment.
• Make sure a 20-amp circuit (minimum) protected with a 20-amp Inverse Time Breaker is provided for all
AC power connections.
• Verify that the operator is electrically grounded per NFPA 780 and NEC Article 250 and local codes.
W irinG
aC P oWer
The StrongArm has separate Installation Instructions that explain how to connect to AC power. For reference purposes, the same information is provided below.
In-rush Current: The current needed to start the electric motor spinning in the proper direction (CCW). It may take as much as 6 to 9 times the in rush current to start one of the heavy duty operators.
NOTE: Use a 20A (minimum) slow kick (thermal) circuit breaker for all AC motors.
Size the primary wires. Consider the voltage, horsepower, and length of the wire run from the main power panel.
Make sure you have the proper voltage and conversion of voltage taps at the motor and transformer.

Supplying a gate operator with the correct electrical service is crucial to the performance of the operator and the life of its electrical components. If the wire size used is too small, the voltage loss, especially during motor startup, will prevent the motor from attaining its rated horsepower. The percentage of horsepower lost is far greater than the percentage of voltage loss.
A voltage loss can also cause the control components to chatter while the motor is starting, substantially reducing their life due to the resultant arcing. There is no way to restore lost performance resulting from undersized wires, except to replace them. Be sure to choose a sufficient wire size at initial installation to avoid costly rewiring.
The tables on the following page are based on copper wire and allow for a 5% voltage drop. The ampere values shown are the service factor ampere rating of the motor (maximum full load at continuous duty). At minimum, a 20A circuit (protected with a 20A Inverse time Breaker) should be provided.
Always connect electrical power and ground the operator in accordance with the NFPA 780 & NEC, Article 430 and Article 250. Research and adhere to other local codes that may apply.

4. To maintain the level position, hand-adjust the bottom nut up or down.
NOTICE: You may initially need to unscrew the bottom nut to allow the gate arm to reach a level position.
5. To lock the gate arm’s level position, tighten the top nut. Nut torque should be at least 100 ft-lbs to prevent loosening during extended operation.
6. Re-insert the top and bottom safety C-clips so a gap (less than 1/8 inch) is between the nut and C-clips.
7. Run a gate test by cycling the gate arm open and closed.
8. If the arm height needs further adjustment, repeat steps 1 through 7.
Balance: Before adjustments can be performed correctly, the operating weight of the arm must be verified to be within the proper range for this machine.
NOTE: A 9/16 -inch lock nut secures each adjustment valve; pressure relief, brake, and manual bypass. The lock nut must be loosened before you can adjust the valve. Leave the lock nuts loose until you complete all the adjustment steps.
1. Pull and twist release the manual bypass valve, then manually lift the arm from a position ten feet distant from the operator.
2. The arm should appear to weigh forty pounds, or less, regardless of the length or actual weight of the arm.
3. If the operating weight of the arm is heavier than our maximum specification, the operator is overloaded which adversely affects both automatic and manual operation.
4. The only remedy for an arm that is too heavy is to reduce the length of the arm, or add additional counterweight which is described in the next section.

1. Start with the arm in the closed position.
2. Make adjustments while the pump is operating.
NOTE: All arms longer than 18’ require counterweight. If this is a new installation using a factory supplied arm, and no additional components have been added, this test is not required because the factory has already provided the correct counterweight for the arm as ordered.
Adjust Pressure Relief Valve
1. Check that the arm is closed and loosen the lock nut on the pressure relief valve.
2. Turn the pressure relief valve CCW 3 or 4 turns.
3. Press Open and, while the pump is operating, turn the relief valve CW until arm moves smoothly through its entire length of travel.
When placing the operator into service, pressure relief valve adjustments are required! To provide instruction during installation, a cautionary yellow tag is wire tied to every pump pack. The same instructions are provided in this section.
Pressure relief valves differ depending on the model.
Tools Needed: 5/32 ” hex key, ½ ” and 9/16 ” box end wrenches.
Pressure Relief valve (Loosen
9/16 -inch lock nut, and then turn valve adjustment bolt.)
9/16 -inch lock nut
CAUTION
Never exceed the maximum psi setting.
Adjusting Brake Valve
1. Start with the arm in the down position and the limit switches set to trip approximately ten degrees before full close and ten degrees before full open:
Brake valve
Close direction a. Loosen the relief valve by turning the adjuster screw counterclockwise three turns.
Brake valve
Open direction b. Loosen the brake valves by turning each adjustment screw clockwise until it bottoms out then turn the same adjuster back counter-clockwise one full turn.
2. Gives the operator an “Open” command and slowly turn the relief valve adjuster screw clockwise until the arm begins to rise smoothly. (If the operator times out, you will need to reset and start over.) This is your relief setting; tighten the lock nut, there is no more adjustment to this valve.
3. The next valve to be adjusted is the close brake valve; which is the first valve to the left of the relief valve. At this time the arm is now in the open position.
a. To adjust the close brake valve you will first need to turn the adjuster counter clockwise to the top of its adjustment.
b. Give the operator a “Close” command and slowly begin turning the close brake valve adjuster screw clockwise until the arm begins to move smoothly at the same speed as it did when you raised it to the open position. As the arm lowers and trips the limit switch, it should smootly drift to

full close position. (You may need to turn the close brake valve clockwise later to make a smooth drift from limit contact to full position.)
4. The next vlave to be adjusted is the open brake valve; which is the second brake valve to the left of the relief valve. At this time the arm is now in the closed position.
a. To adjust the open brake valve you will first need to turn the adjuster counter clockwise to the top of its adjustment.
b. Give the operator an “Open” command and slowly begin turning the close brake valve adjuster screw clockwise until the arm begins to move open smoothly and at the same speed as it did when you lowered it to the close position. As the arm raises and trips the limit switch, it should smoothly drift to full open position. (You may need to turn it clockwise later to make a smooth drift to stop.)
5. Adjust the manual bypasss valve by raising the arm approximately 45 degrees and press the “Stop” button.
a. Turn the bypass needle valve , adjuster screw clockwise until it bottoms out.
b. Pull out on the manual by-pass knob and lock it open by twisting it 45 degrees to the right.
c. Slowly turn the needle valve adjuster screw counter clockwise until the arm begins to drift close at a smooth slow speed. Tighten the lock nut for the needle valve adjuster screw and turn the manual bypass knob 45 degrees to the left to lock it in place.
6. Cycle the operator open and close several times too verify settings and tighten the brake valve lock nuts.
NOTE: The brake valves do not control the closing of the arm when the manual bypass knob is pulled.
NOTE: Careful adjustment of the open limit switch and brake valve may be especially important in installations where there is truck traffic and the gate operator is close to the edge of the road. Be aware that the later the open limit switch trips when the gate is opening, the sooner the open circuit will be able to accept a safety reverse when the arm is closing. The best adjustment requires a rapid, but smooth, stop of the arm at the end of the open cycle.

Manual Bypass Valve
A bypass valve has been provided that can override the hydraulic lock that normally secures the arm from being lifted.
In the event of a power failure, manual operation is achieved through the following procedure.
1. Find the manual bypass valve with the black round knob, which is located on the hydraulic pump just above where the hoses connect. The barrier arm can now be manually lifted, beginning from the tip, by moving “hand over hand” while walking towards the operator. When the arm is open, be certain to close the bypass valve to prevent the arm from drifting down.
2. Press Open or Close to place the arm at a 45° angle.
3. Press Stop when the arm reaches a 45° angle.
Manual bypass valve
4. Close the Needle valve. Loosen the lock nut and turn the valve CW until it stops.
Needle valve
5. Pull the black Manual Bypass knob out and lock it open by twisting it ¼ turn before releasing it.
6. Slowly turn the Needle valve CCW until the arm lowers slowly and smoothly.
7. Twist the black Manual Bypass knob so it re-seats itself in the closed position.
Cycle Test the Arm
1. Tighten all lock nuts on the adjustor valves.
2. Cycle the arm Open and Close a few times. If adjustments are needed, follow the steps above.

The Emergency Fast Close on the 50VF-series is designed for a constant hold function, such as a push-button device that is held for the duration of gate travel. To operate properly, the device must be connected to Terminal 23 on the Smart Touch Controller and a +24VDC terminal on the Power Supply Board.
When the connections are made, the constant hold signal transmitted to the Smart Touch Controller activates the close function. The gate closes at a higher speed than usual. Photo eyes, vehicle loop inputs, and other safety devices (such as external entrapment protection sensors) are ignored.

Photo Eye Installation Tips
Underwriters Laboratories requires that any non-contact sensor used as an external entrapment protection device, must be tested to, and recognized by, the UL 325 Standard.
• There are two common types of photoelectric sensors, thru-beam and retro-reflective, and each has its advantages.
• A thru-beam sensor is generally more powerful and able to function reliably with dirty optics and in poor weather.
• A retro-reflective sensor does not require the installation and extra wiring of a separate emitter and receiver as is required in a thru-beam system, but retro-reflective eyes are generally more problematic in poor weather. Avoid using retro-reflective devices across outdoor distances greater than 24 ft (7.3m) because of performance and reliability issues.
• For pedestrian detection, mount thru-beam type photo eyes approximately 15" to 30" (4.6 to 9m) above the ground and as close to the gate as possible. A minimum of one photo eyes is required, but two is recommended, one photo eye to guard the open direction and the other for the close direction of travel, unless gate edges for entrapment protection are installed.
• Three wires to the receiver and two wires to the emitter are all that is required.
• Depending on how the photo eyes are to be wired, +24VDC or +12VDC, power is provided via spades located just to the right of the COM terminal strip near the left side of the board.
• The receiver and emitter common wires are connected to the SENSOR COM terminal at the bottom, left of the Smart Touch Controller.
• The photo eye NO or NC output wires connect to the Smart DC Controller at the Appropriate
Sensor Input (1, 2, or 3). The appropriate sensor input must be programmed for Eye Open or Eye
Close based on whether it spans the road or the "catch" area of an opening gate.
• If tripped while in motion, the standard function is to stop the gate and automatically restart again if the photo eye is clear within five seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a two second reversal of travel, or, if closing, can be programmed to reverse to full open.
NOTE: Sensor & +24V is the recommended way to connect monitored photo eyes to Smart Touch Controller.
NOTE: If photo eyes are to be used for vehicle detection and logically function the same as a vehicle detector, connect the common ires to the COM terminals on the left side of the board and wire the NO output contact to the appropriate vehicle detector input:
EXIT LOOP, IN OBS LOOP, and OUT OBS LOOP.
If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate vs. Dark Operate, select Light Operate. If the photo eye has a relay output and has both NO and NC terminals, some experimentation may be required to determine the proper connection. This is because, in the Light Operate mode, the output relay is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked. 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
MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020
Photo eye funCtion:
A tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction if the gate is stationary. If tripped while in motion, the standard function is to stop the gate motion and then automatically restart again if the photo eye is clear within five seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a two second reversal of travel.
Alignment:
Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the receiver or reflector center. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align system, especially with retroreflective photo eyes. The best way to assure true beam centering is with some trial testing where the emitter is shifted to move beam left and right and up and down until the range of the invisible cone of the infrared beam is known. 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. Set the menu item PE - PHOTO EYE ALIGN from a 0 to a 1. The buzzer chirps once when the emitter and photo eye receiver are not aligned. When the emitter and receiver are aligned, the buzzer chirps twice. If they go out of alignment again, the buzzer will chirp once. This “alignment mode” will automatically reset to 0 the next time the Close Limit Switch is triggered or the RESET key is pressed.
Notes about retro-reflective systems:
Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector is important for trouble free performance. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty optics, condensation or poor weather. If care is taken in the initial mounting and alignment of the 3-inch reflector, the chance of problems is greatly reduced. Use only through beam photo eyes for a distances greater than 24 feet because the function of a retro-reflective photo eye will be too unreliable.
Taking steps to protect the photo eye and the reflector from being exposed to fog and being absolutely certain the photo eye is perfectly aligned will greatly reduce any false triggering of the system. The ideal mounting of a retro-reflective photo eye is inside an enclosure.
The ideal reflector mounting suspends it inside a 12-inch long piece of 3-inch PVC conduit. Cut the opening of the PVC conduit at a 45-degree angle to act as a drip shield. Hold the reflector against the backside of the PVC conduit by attaching a 3-inch male connector. Do not cement the connector. This would prevent the reflector from being reached for future cleaning. To create a mounting base, attach a 3-inch aluminum flange (electric meter hub) to the connector. This whole package can be mounted to any flat surface.
Locate the reflector in the center of the invisible beam of infrared light to achieve the most sensitive alignment.
The beam center is determined by the following test: while holding the reflector in your hand, slowly raise it until the beam is no longer returned and the photo eye trips. Mark this maximum height. Now lower your hand and determine the lower limit of the infrared beam by watching for the trip point. Mark this position as well. Repeat the same procedure for left and right at the center elevation of the beam, as determined by the previous test. Once the four limits have been determined, either mount the reflector in the center of the area outlined or realign the eye for the position of the reflector. If photo eye is realigned, be sure to perform centering test again to verify that the reflector is truly in the center.

Once you have completed the installation, attached the wired accessories and turned the power ON, you’re ready to program the operator. Two different approaches exist:
• Connect a laptop computer to the serial (RS-232) port, check for the most current software version and then set the operator menu configurations via the S.T.A.R.T software.
NOTE: Use a laptop computer at your place of business to conveniently download the free START software and most current software version from www.hysecurity.com
before heading out into the field. This makes it easy to adjust settings using a laptop.
• Manually navigate through the User and Installer Menus using the STC keypad. The instructions for performing this second option are provided in this section.

The Run Mode displays appear static when the operator is ready and waiting for a run command. When the display is flashing GATE OPENING or GATE CLOSING, a command has been received and the barrier gate is in motion. The command may come from a variety of sources: a card reader, push-button remote, or recognition of a vehicle passing over a loop detector. In all cases, the operator “runs” the motor when it receives an operational command.
Three displays indicate the position or status of the gate. The keypad entry used to access the User or Installer menus, begins at one of these Run Mode displays.

Intended for highly secure facilities.
Set to 1, the operator sounds the 3-second “warn before operate” buzzer alarm and initiates a closure if the gate is forced open and the closed limit switch disengages. The motor starts to secure the gate. If the gate does not fully close within 4s, the motor turns off and the buzzer sounds for 30 seconds. The display shows ALERT 1 - FORCED OPEN.
Set to 1, the operator sounds the 3-second “warn before operate” buzzer alarm and initiates an open command if the gate is forced, or drifts, off the open limit switch. The motor starts to reopen the gate. The motor runs for a maximum of 4s and, if the gate is not fully open at the end of this period, the buzzer sounds for 10s. The display shows ALERT 2 - DRIFT CLOSED.
Set to 1, the operator serves as an aide in photo eye
transmitter/receiver alignment. See Supply Power to the Sensors on page 51 .
NOTE: If the operator doesn’t run when the power switch is initially turned ON, check the alignment of the photo eye and all the photo eye connections.
To adjust the hour, minute, day, or month to a different time zone, select 1. Use menu navigational keys to select and change the date and time. When your selections are complete, press Menu to return to

Provides the Fire Dept. Open input. When set to 1, the open signal received by the operator overrides all photoelectric eyes and edge sensors, and opens the gate. Pressing the Open or Reset button is required before the gate can be closed.
Enables the Emergency Close input. When set to 1, the constant hold close overrides vehicle detectors, photo eyes and edge sensors, and closes the gate. Pressing the
Reset button once or the Open button twice is required before the gate will open.
Adjusts the sensitivity of the inherent entrapment sensor. Available settings are
1-9 with 9 being the least sensitive.

A setting of 0, stops the gate and then reverses its direction of travel for 2 seconds.
To stop gate travel with no reversal, the optional setting 1 can be selected if the gate operator is at a Usage Class IV site and assigned a UC 4 classification.
Only appears if the gate operator is set up as a Primary or a Secondary. Available settings are 1 to 7. Each numerical increment adds ½ second, to a maximum of 3 ½ seconds time delay, before the operator activates when commanded to close.
Only appears if the gate operator is set up as a Primary or a Secondary. Available settings are 1 to 7. Each numerical increment adds
1/2 second (with a maximum of 3 1/2 seconds) time delay following a command to open before the operator activates.
Allows an optional setting of 300 seconds if changed to [RT 1] as opposed to the maximum run timer default setting of
60 seconds.
Activates the partial open input and allows an adjustable distance by setting the open duration. The available time settings are 7 to

Menu Tasks & Explanations
If the close photo eye is triggered, the default setting is non-reversal while the gate is traveling in the close direction. If the obstruction is cleared within 5 seconds, gate travel continues. If you set the gate operator to optional setting EC 1, when the close photo eye is triggered, the gate pauses and reverses it's direction for a 2-second interval, and then resumes moving in the close direction if the photo eye clears within
5 seconds. (See exception for barrier arms.)
A setting of EC 2 causes the gate to reverse and travel full open when triggered.
NOTE: In software versions h5.56 and h4.55 or higher the following changes occurred:
Swing Gates: When photo eye close is active, the open command is operational.
All Usage Class 3 or 4 gate operators: As in swing gates, an active photo eye close will no longer prevent an Open command.
If the open photo eye is triggered, the default setting is non-reversal while the gate is traveling in the open direction. When triggered, with the optional setting of EO 1, the gate pauses and reverses it's direction for a 2-second interval, and then resumes moving in the open direction if the photo eye clears within 5 seconds.
The default setting is to reopen fully if the edge sensor is triggered while closing. The optional setting of GR 1 sets the gate to a
2-second reversal if triggered while closing.

Configures the input at Terminal No. 7 on the STC to be either for the gate interlock function, or for an external time clock to open input. The default setting is (TC_1) for the interlock function.
Configures Terminal #9 input to disable either the Free Exit Detector function or, alternately, the Close Timer function.
The default setting disables the free exit detector.
NOTE: When set to 0, the free exit is disabled while the gate rests on it’s closed limit. If the closed limit is not tripped, the free exit continues to work normally.
The default (1) is for full reversal when the
Outside Obstruction Loop is triggered. A setting of 0 causes the gate to only pause when triggered. The gate closure begins as soon as the loop is clear again. *A setting of 2 is only available on CRASH barriers and provides for the most secure facilities where it is essential that the loop trigger is completely ignored and the barrier arm continues closing without pause or reversal.
The default is for full reversal when the Inside
Obstruction Loop is triggered. A setting of 0 causes the gate to only pause when triggered. Closure begins as soon as the loop is clear again. *A setting of 2 is only available on CRASH barriers and provides for the most secure facilities where it is essential that the loop trigger is completely ignored and the gate continues closing without pause or reversal.
The default allows the barrier arm to reopen if the Reset (Center) Loop detector is triggered during closure of the barrier arm.
A setting of 1 causes the barrier arm to only pause when triggered. Closure begins as soon as the loop is clear again.

The Close Timer assigns how many seconds will pass before the gate operator initiates closure of a fully opened gate after all open commands and reversing sensor inputs have ceased and loops cleared. It is recommended that every gate operator have the close timer set to a specific number of seconds (for example,
5 seconds) unless a hard-wired closing device is connected to the gate operator, such as a “hold to close” push button station.
To adjust the time (1 to 99 seconds) it takes before the operator initiates gate closure, take the following steps:
1. At a gate status display, press the Menu button twice. This accesses the User Menu and the Close
Timer display appears.
NOTE: If you want gate personnel to operate the gate with the Hold to Close feature found in some push button stations, then set the Hold to Close menu item to 1. When the Hold to Close menu item is active
(set to 1), the Close Timer menu item is unavailable.
2. Use the Select, and then Next or Previous buttons to navigate and change the number of seconds appearing on the display. Refer to
Menu Mode Navigation on page 60.
3. To exit the User Menu, press the Menu button. The gate status appears in the display indicating you have returned to Run Mode.

Complete the installation by testing the operation of the gate.
NOTE: The operator must be turned on and in Run mode. A Run mode display appears on the STC. If a Run mode status does not
how to clear the display and return to Run mode.
1. Press Open to open the gate.
2. Test the operator.
• Cycle the gate a few times by pressing the Close and Open buttons.
• If installed for emergency fast operation, test the EMERGENCY CLOSE using the constant hold device. Observe the travel speed of the gate when you press and hold the Emergency Close button. It will close a second or two faster than normal operation and ignore any photo eye, vehicle loop, or other safety sensor inputs.

HySecurity hydraulic gate operators provides a 2-wire, serial interface (RS-485 connection) which allows remote access to one or more operators. With software protocols provided by HySecurity, bi-directional status updates and control commands are easily integrated with a central controller (computer or server), which becomes the primary (master) to the connected operators. Up to 31 physical operators can be polled from the central master command station. Reset requests, gate control, gate status, and gate faults can be monitored and information can be retrieved from the central command station.
The RS-485 interface is also used to communicate with the HyNet Gateway, a web-enabled interface. To view the user guide and quick start information regarding HyNet Gateway SFP 4/1, go to the HySecurity website,

The Smart Touch Controller is able to interface with many types of external devices through the use of three user programmable output relays: two mechanical relays (User Relay 1 and User
Relay 2), and one solid state relay (User 3) which is used most often for connection to flashing devices.
All of the user relay functions identified and described in the table below are accessible in the Installer Menu
(R1 x, R2 x, R3 x) selections.
NOTE: A setting of zero disables a User Relay. The User Relays will operate normally to 18VDC. Below 18VDC, alert notification occurs. On Crash products
User 3 relay is unavailable. It is pre-wired for the LED lights.

Close limit output
Close limit pulse output
Output can be used as an interlock signal to another operator’s interlock input, or simply to indicate that the gate is secure. The relay is “off” when the gate is closed. The relay energizes when the fully-closed limit is released. (Any open command energizes the relay.)
Used in a sequenced system to command a second machine to close. Generates a brief pulsed output that occurs when the close limit is triggered.
Open limit output
Open limit pulse output
Indicates a full-open position. This output becomes active when an open-limit is triggered and deactivates when the open-limit is released or a close command is received.
Used in a sequenced gate system to command a second machine to open. Generates a brief pulsed output that occurs when the open limit is triggered.
Warn before/during operate output Controls an external warning device. This output operates at the same time as the internal warn before operate buzzer.
Gate Lock output Controls external solenoid or magnetic locks. In both directions of travel, this output is activated about 7/10ths of a second before the operator starts moving the gate and remains active while moving. Output remains active, for a few seconds, after stopping.

Bi-Parting & Dual Gate Systems
Configuring two or more operators to work together as an interlocked pair (Primary/Secondary or Sally Port) or sequenced gate system is easy to do with the Smart Touch Controller. There is no need to order a special model or any adapters. The area of the board marked Dual Gate employs a 3-wire, RS-485 serial port for communication between the operators.
NOTE: RS-485 communication is available for networked security systems. For additional information, refer to
C onneCtinG an
i nterloCked

The Smart Touch Controller (STC) provides dual gate connections and programming features to connect a pair of gate operators in a Primary/Secondary or interlocked Sally Port configuration. The software establishes the communication protocols when wiring the two gate operators. A Primary/Secondary pair of operators can be set for different open/close timing sequences and Sally Port gates are often used at correctional facilities. In
Sally Port configurations, one operator cannot open unless the other is fully closed. To learn how to connect the wiring between operators, review the wire diagram on the next page.
NOTE: Both StrongArm gate systems need to have compatible software versions installed on their Smart Touch Controllers.

Dual Gate Wiring Connections
To connect an interlocked pair of gate operators, simply follow the steps below.
1. As shown in the Wire Diagram, connect a shielded communications cable to the DUAL GATE inputs in each operator. The inputs are located near the base of the Smart Touch Controller. Be sure to connect the wires in pairs to the same terminal ports (A-A, B-B, COM-COM) on both operators.
2. Attach a ring terminal to the shield wire and connect it to the Smart Touch Controller’s convenient ground screw.
CAUTION
Connect the ground shield wire to only one operator, not both. Use only 18-20 gauge twisted and shielded wire.
To operate properly, both Smart Touch Controllers must be using the same software version.

MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020
Dual or Sequenced Gates: Power, Software & Accessory Requirements
When installing an interlocked pair, the following must be adhered to:
• An electrical conduit for interconnecting wires must span between the two operators. The interlock
(dual gate) communication wires and any low voltage control wires must be installed in a conduit that is separate from the high voltage power cables.
• Complete the installation of both operators as separate machines and verify that their basic functions are correct as solo operators before interconnecting them.
• Be sure both operators are running the same software. The software version can be viewed on the display by pressing the RESET button.
• For up-to-date features, keep the most current software loaded on both gate operators. Software downloads are available at www.hysecurity.com
. Make it part of your maintenance routine to check for and install software updates on a regular basis.
• External control inputs (vehicle detectors and external entrapment protection sensors) may be connected to either gate operator in a Primary/Secondary configuration, but in a Sally Port configuration, the external control inputs must be connected to each operator as operation commands will not be shared across the dual gate wiring. Be sure to designate Sally Port A in the dual gate menu item as 3 (DG 3) and Sally Port B as 4 (DG 4).
NOTE: If using the Hy8Relay, connect it to the dual gate spades on either controller.
Programming a Dual Gate (Interlocked Pair)
Both gate operators must be programmed so they know what function they are to perform as Primary and
Secondary or Sally Port A and Sally Port B. (Sally Port A being the first gate to open for incoming traffic.) The Installer Menu provides the Dual
Gate (DG) menu item that sets up the functionality of the gate operators. Access this menu item by taking the following steps:

Sequenced gates are slightly different than dual or interlocked gates. When two gate operators are connected as sequenced gates, a faster “Traffic Control Gate” operator (i.e. barrier arm or crash wedge) and a slower
“Security Gate” operator (slide, swing, or vertical lift gate) operate in sequence to help prevent tailgating or unauthorized entry. Both operators open (Security Gate first followed by the Traffic Control Gate) and allow a vehicle through, but the faster moving Traffic Control Gate closes quickly once its reset/center loop and all obstruction loops are cleared. Upon reaching its closed limit, the Traffic Control Gate signals the Security Gate to close. Note that all shared vehicle detector loops must be cleared before the Security Gate closes.
NOTE: An emergency open or close overrides the gate sequencing and acts upon both gates simultaneously.
The Smart Touch Controller (STC) provides the sequenced gate connections and programming features, and the STC software establishes the communication protocols when wiring the sequenced gate operators. To learn how to connect the wiring between operators, review the Wire Diagram below.
CAUTION
The operators do not have to be of the same type, but both need to have identical software versions installed on the Smart Touch Controller. For example, a StrongArmCrash M30 can be sequenced with a StrongArm to provide both personnel security and crash provisions. The inherent STC software integrates seamlessly between operators and software protocols and allows RS-485 communication for networked security systems. Refer to
Integrating with Security Systems and HyNet™ Gateway on page 77 for additional information.

To connect a sequenced pair of gate operators, follow the steps on the next page.
1. As shown in the wire diagram on page 88, connect a shielded communications cable to the DUAL
GATE inputs in each operator. The inputs are located near the base of the Smart Touch Controller. Be sure to connect the wires in pairs to the same terminal ports (A-A, B-B, COM-COM) on both operators.
2. Attach a ring terminal to the shield wire and connect it to the
Smart Touch Controller’s convenient ground screw.
NOTE: Connect the ground shield wire to only one operator, not both. Use only 18-20 gauge twisted and shielded triple wire.

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.
Vehicle detector functions (OR, IR, HD, DL ) are configurable through the
Installer Menu: Table 6 on page 66.
Anti-TailGate Mode (Closing Logic)
The Detector Logic (DL) installer menu item lets you set the anti-tailgate mode. This menu item works in conjunction with the Close Timer (CT) when the vehicle detector is triggered. If you plan to use the antitailgate feature, check the time delay aspect of the Close Timer (CL) setting.
The four selectable modes for DL are as follows:
Mode 1 (Default): An input from either the Free Exit, Outside Obstruction Loop, Inside Obstruction Loop, or the Center Loop will hold the gate open, reset the close timer, and ignore all close inputs. The close timer begins to count down only after all vehicle detectors are clear and no other open command is present.
Mode 2: The close timer does not wait for vehicle detectors to clear, but instead it starts counting down as soon as the open limit is reached.
Mode 3: When both inside and outside obstruction loops are simultaneously active, the gate will close immediately (unless another open command is present) once all vehicle detectors are no longer sensing active loops (i.e. vehicle loops are clear).
Mode 4: Full anti-tailgate logic includes Mode 3 functions. In addition, the gate will stop during the opening cycle when both OOLD & IOLD are tripped simultaneously. When the OOLD & IOLD loops are cleared, the gate closes immediately. The OOLD & IOLD can be individually set so that, if tripped while closing, the gate may either, pause only or reverse to reopen. The free exit detector input is ignored while the gate is closing.
NOTICE: Using any vehicle detector logic mode other than Mode 1 (default) requires that all the loops be placed with the geometry and spacing as shown in the loop layout drawings. The detector Modes 3 and 4 require use of separate inner and outer obstruction detectors. Mode 4 is not available in HydraWedge SM50 or gate operators functioning with HydraSupply XL.
TailGate Alert
User Relay 11 is available for notification devices. If a vehicle is tailgating, and a flasher or audio device is connected to User Relay 11, the relay will be triggered by the tailgating vehicle crossing the loops.

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.
The Hy5A detector communicates with the Smart Touch Controller microprocessor to achieve the following benefits:
• Loop frequency is automatically set and monitored by the Smart Touch Controller.
• Best operating frequency for each loop is automatically selected.
• Cross-talk between multiple loops is impossible.
• Very low power draw, which is important for maximum UPS capability during a power failure or for solar applications.
• Loop frequency and call strength can be reported on the Smart Touch Controller display.
• Loop malfunctions are stored by the Smart Touch Controller and appear in code on the display.
NOTE: It is not mandatory to use two separate vehicle detectors for inner and outer obstruction detection; however, the benefits of using the two Hy5A detectors are great. Several new features are possible, such as second vehicle tailgating detection, loitering alert, and selectable non-reversing options.

Four vehicle detector inputs (terminals: 8, 10, 11, and 12) exist on the Smart Touch Controller, as well as the four direct plug ins (FREE EXIT, INSIDE OBSTR, OUTSIDE OBSTR, SHADOW/RESET) for the Hy5A modules.
Refer to Overview of the STC and Power Supply Board on page 76.
The vehicle detector input functions are as follows:
• Free Exit Loop Detector - Opens a fully closed gate.
• Outside Obstruction Loop Detector (Out Obs Loop) - Triggered by the outside (public side) vehicle detector loop
• Inside Obstruction Loop Detector (In Obs Loop) - Triggered by the inside (secure side) vehicle detector loop
• Center/Reset/Shadow Loop Detector - On barrier arm gates, prevents closure when active. On swing gates, prevents gate from opening or closing when the vehicle detector is active.
NOTE: Use of any combination of Hy5A detectors and box detectors is acceptable. On occasion, multiple obstruction detectors may be mandatory. For example, an area greater than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of vehicle loop cannot be connected to any one detector because the sensitivity becomes inadequate.

NOTE: For illustrations and detailed instructions, refer to the literature supplied with the Hy5A vehicle detectors. The installation instructions are also available online at www.hysecurity.com
Install each Hy5A vehicle detector module, one at a time using the following steps:
1. Turn off the AC power switch on the Control Box.
2. Insert the locking end of the two white plastic standoffs into the mounting holes on the detector.
3. Plug the detector into the appropriate socket along the right edge of the Smart Touch Controller. Be careful to align the six detector pins into the socket correctly (the screws for tightening the terminals should face toward the board), and then snap the standoffs into the holes in the control box.
Squared off end of standoff
4. Route the loop wires through the holes provided in the control box and connect the loop leads to the two terminals on the
Hy5A detector. Tighten the terminal screws securely.
5. To enable the detector, turn on power. The detector will immediately tune if it is connected to a vehicle loop. Make sure no cars or other metal objects are over the loop.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for each Hy5A detector.
7. If the detector module is unplugged after it is enabled, a communications alert (ALERT 10) will be triggered. If the fault is not resolved, an error message, ERROR 3 “Detector Failed” is displayed.
NOTE: If there is any detector fault, the gate operator functions as if the detector is triggered.
Pressing the RESET button:
• Clears any errors
• Tunes the detectors on connected loops
• Un-installs any detectors that have been removed

8. The Smart Touch Controller automatically governs frequency selection for all Hy5A detector modules.
This simplifies installation and guarantees that there is no cross-talk between multiple loops. The frequency and call level can also be manually selected; if this is required, refer to the appropriate loop set
( ELD, ILD, OLD, RLD) in the
Installer Menu: Table 6 on page 66.

Rotary dial 9. Sensitivity is the only adjustment available on the detector itself.
Generally, sensitivity does not need to be increased unless the loop is large or there are multiple loops connected to one detector.
NOTE: Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of loop area to one detector. The detection height is roughly 2/3’s the size of the shortest side of the loop.
If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary dial. The factory default setting is 1.
0 = Low with boost* 4 = Low without boost
1 = Normal with boost*
2 = Medium with boost*
3 = High with boost*
5 = Normal without boost
6 = Medium without boost
7 = High without boost
NOTE: *A boost feature is applied for settings 0 through 3. Boost increases the sensitivity during a call and is useful for maintaining continuous detection if the signal becomes weak (such as with tractor-trailer trucks).
Sensitivity settings 4 through 7 are the same as 0 through 3, but without the boost feature.
10. Set the loop configurations in the Installer Menu. Display settings include, DT, OR, IR, DL.
11. Set the vehicle detector logic (DL).
View Call Level in Real Time
1. Enter the Installer Menu and access the loop menu item associated with the Hy5A detector:

2. Press SELECT and change the menu item to 2, Call Level. For example:
ILD2
CALL LEVEL
3. To exit the Installer Menu and return to Run mode, press Menu.
Knowing the strength of a vehicle detector (call level) is valuable because it provides information about how well the vehicle loop is actually “seeing” a passing vehicle. The Hy5A detector has the ability to read call levels in real time on a scale of 1 to 7. A call level of 7 indicates the loop is detecting the passing vehicle extremely well and is highly sensitive. If you receive a call level reading of 0 to 2, when a vehicle passes over the loop, you’ll want to test the loop to make sure is functioning correctly. If the test outcome is good and all the loops are operating properly, you may need to adjust the Hy5A sensitivity dial, so the call level reads in the 5 to 6 range.

If standard 11-pin box type vehicle detectors are to be used, perform the following procedure.
If there is sufficient space, install the sockets in the control box; if not, then install them in a separate external housing. Carefully consider your peripheral connections. Any peripheral device required for safe gate operation should be attached to 24VDC in case of an AC power outage.
NOTE: Box detectors with relays require five times more power than Hy5A detectors. One Hy5A detector draws about 0.005A.
Consider Hy5A vehicle detectors for DC and Solar powered sites.
1. Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Connect Pin No. 1 to a 24VAC or 24VDC terminal and Pin No. 2 to common.
2. Connect output Pin No. 6 to the Common Bus and output Pin No. 5 to one of the four detector terminal inputs (depending upon the detector function required) on the Smart Touch Controller.
If multiple detectors are used, route the power wires and common wire from socket to socket
(daisy-chaining) rather than individually running each wire to the same location. The only wires that are separate are the output wire to the
Smart Touch Controller and the detector loop input wires.
Always keep the detector loop wires well twisted beyond the area of the loop. The lead in portion sealed in a saw cut does not need to be twisted so long as the wires are encapsulated in loop sealant and cannot move.

Photo Eye Installation
A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operation of the photo eyes (and other monitored sensors) prior to each gate activation. The monitored connection prevents gate operation if an entrapment protection sensor is missing or any fault is present.
Sensors, such as gate edges and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These external entrapment protection sensors are required for the gate installation to be in compliance with the
2016, UL 325 Standard of Safety (6th Edition).
NOTICE: UL 325 Standard of Safety provides the MINIMUM safety standards. Site, gate hardware usage, and other conditions may dictate the use of additional safety designs/components. It is up to the gate system designer and installer to assess appropriate safety design and components above and beyond minimum UL 325 and ASTM F2200 Standard of Safety. Always check your local area codes and comply with all regulations.
Photo Eyes
Photo Eyes
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.
To learn more about external entrapment protection devices or to learn how to temporarily supply power to the sensors that are wired to the gate operator, review External Entrapment Protection Sensors: What the
Installer Needs to Do on page 27 and
Supply Power to the Sensors on page 51 .

Plan to integrate photo eyes (photoelectric sensors) in your site plan. Photo eyes are wired to the Controller and require low voltage conduit to the operator and power supply. Refer to External Entrapment Protection
Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators on page iii.
Understand your site requirements and use the layout diagrams available to determine the most appropriate mounting positions for additional photo eyes. The Controller has three sensor inputs.
If there are no other external entrapment protection sensors (typically an edge sensor), then for slide gates, swing gates or any site that must comply with UL 325 monitored entrapment protection regulations, it is highly recommended that at least two photo eyes are installed to serve and reverse the gate in each direction of travel (Open and Close directions).
The two common photoelectric sensor types are thru-beam and retro-reflective; each has its advantages.
• A thru-beam sensor is generally more powerful and able to function more reliably in inclement weather.
• A retro-reflective sensor (generally less reliable in inclement weather or low visibility) provides convenience due to minimal wiring.
NOTE: In an outdoor environment (because of reduced performance), avoid using a retro-reflective sensor to span a distance greater than 24 feet (7.3 meters).
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.
In addition to the table, a label containing a list of tested and approved external entrapment protection sensors (normally closed contacts) that are compatible with HySecurity gate operators is affixed to every gate operator box shipped from the factory and can be found online at the following public site: www.hysecurity.com/gatesafety
Installation
Install photo eyes according to the following steps.
1. Locate the photo eye in line of sight to the receiver or reflector that is mounted to protect zones of
potential entrapment. Refer to site layout on 99.
2. Mount the receivers on the left or right side of the gate operator.
3. Mount the emitters just beyond the travel of the gate.
NOTE: The installation locations are intended for pedestrian detection. If photo eyes are also to be used for vehicular detection, consider (in addition to the low elevation photo eye for cars) installing another photo eye at a height of about 55 inches (140 cm) to detect semi (tractor- trailer) trucks.

StrongArm Programming and Operations
MX3657-01 Rev. D ©2020
Configuration
Configure photo eyes attached to gate operators manufactured in 2016 or beyond according to Wiring
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. Review External
Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators on page iii.
If your gate operator is manufactured prior to 2016 and your gate operator is set to Build Year 1, consider the following:
NOTE: To check the Build Year for your gate operator, press the Menu button. The gate status scroll reveals the Build Year. “Build Year Pre-2016” means the gate operator is configured for Build Year 1.
1. If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate versus Dark
Operate, select Light Operate.
2. If the photo eye has a relay output and has both N.O. and N.C. terminals, some experimentation may be required to determine the proper connection because, when its in the Light Operate mode, the output relay is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked.
3. If the photo eye has a solid-state output, your must choose a sinking-type connection.
Photo Eye Connections: Smart Touch & Smart DC Controllers
CAUTION
All external entrapment protection sensors must be NC sensor outputs and wired to the SENSOR COM terminal for monitoring and powering purposes. The sensor becomes actively powered when the gate operator’s motor runs.
Connect the four wires to the receiver and two wires to the emitter according to the following procedure.
A. Supply power to the sensor.
1. Obtain the +24 Volt source power at one of the three spade-terminals on the STC Power Supply Board.
2. Obtain the 24 Volt Common from SENSOR COM on the Controller.
B. Wire connection so the controller recognizes the sensor device.
3. Obtain the COM from the STC Power Supply Board.
4. Connect the N.C. output to SENSOR 1, 2, or 3.
5. Configure the Installer Menu according to your site sensor set up. Refer to Table 4: HySecurity Gate
Operators maintaining Object Detection on page 29.
NOTE: Jumper between terminals on Photo Eye sensor so you don’t need to pull a fourth wire to the Controller terminal. For
examples of wiring diagrams, refer to page 121. To test Photo Eyes, refer to
Supply Power to the Sensors . on page 51
.
Photo Eye Function
If the gate is stationary, a tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction. If tripped while in motion, the standard function is to pause the gate motion and then automatically restart again if the photo eye is clear within five seconds. Optional settings exist in the Installer Menu. Refer to Eye Close Logic
and Eye Open Logic (EC and EO) in Installer Menu: Table 6 on page 66
for more information.

Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector is important for trouble free performance. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty optics, condensation or poor weather. If care is taken in the initial mounting and alignment of the 3-inch reflector, the chance of problems is greatly reduced.
NOTE: Use only through beam photo eyes for a distances greater than 24 feet because the function of a retro-reflective photo eye will be too unreliable.
Taking steps to protect the photo eye and the reflector from being exposed to fog and being absolutely certain the photo eye is perfectly aligned will greatly reduce any false triggering of the system. The ideal mounting of a retro-reflective photo eye is inside an enclosure.
Ideally the reflector mount suspends the reflector inside a 12-inch long piece of 3-inch PVC conduit. Cut the opening of the PVC conduit at a 45-degree angle to act as a drip shield. Hold the reflector against the backside of the PVC conduit by attaching a 3-inch male connector. DO NOT cement the connector as doing so makes it difficult to reach the reflector for future cleaning.
To create a mounting base, attach a 3-inch aluminum flange (for example, an electric meter hub) to the connector. This whole package can be mounted to any flat surface.
Locate the reflector in the center of the invisible beam of infrared light to achieve the most sensitive alignment.
The beam center is determined by the following test:
1. While holding the reflector in your hand, slowly raise it until the beam is no longer returned and the photo eye trips.
2. Mark this maximum height.
3. Lower your hand and determine the lower limit of the infrared beam by watching for the trip point.
Mark this position.
4. Repeat the same procedure for left and right at the center elevation of the beam.
When the four parameters are marked, either:
• Mount the reflector in the center of the area outlined or
• Realign the eye for the position of the reflector.
NOTE: If the photo eye is realigned, be sure to perform the centering test again to verify that the reflector is truly in the center.

Troubleshooting
The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions using three simultaneously occurring methods:
• Codes presented on its display (alert, fault or error)
• Activation of a buzzer which emits a series of chirps at defined intervals
• Stop gate travel (and/or reverse direction of travel)
Refer to Troubleshooting Codes: Table 8 on page 107 for details concerning
identification and description of Alerts, Faults and Errors.
FAULT 2
SENSOR #1
HYSECURITY
GATE STOPPED
Overriding a tripped sensor or fault condition on a HySecurity gate operator with monitored entrapment sensors requires a 2-step process:
• Press Open or Close momentarily. Audible beeps in quick succession indicate tripped sensors or fault conditions.
• Within 5 seconds of hearing the beeps, apply constant hold pressure to override the tripped sensor or fault. The gate operator runs while pressure is maintained to actuating device (examples include, Push button Open, Push button Close,
Open Partial or Keypad Open/Close), or a limit is reached, or another sensor trips.
NOTE: A qualified technician may troubleshoot the operator with the aid of the information and procedures that follow. If it is necessary to call a distributor for assistance, be sure to have the model and serial numbers available. Other helpful information is the job name, approximate installation date, and service records of any recently-performed maintenance work.
TIP: On AC-powered gate operators, the active status of each input on the Smart Touch Controller is indicated by its associated lit LED. However, an exception exists in the case of external entrapment protection sensors.
The LEDs next to the sensor connections will be lit when no power is being applied. For more information, refer to
Supply Power to the Sensors on page 51 .

A few typical problems and their associated troubleshooting procedures are provided to facilitate identification and resolution.
PROBLEM 1: Pressing the Open and Close buttons produce no response (nothing happens).
1. Verify the line voltage is present and matches the operator’s input voltage requirement + 10%.
2. Verify the control voltage is present at the Power Supply Common and 24VDC terminals. It may be necessary to reset the circuit breaker (black button) on the transformer.
3. If an external Stop button is not used, verify a jumper wire connects Common to Stop.
4. Verify there are no Faults or Errors being reported on the LCD display.
5. Jump COM to the OPEN or CLOSE INPUT and verify that the LED lights on the STC board which indicates that the input is active and working properly. To help in diagnosing the problem, take note of what other inputs light up and check the display for codes.
PROBLEM 2: Hydraulic pump is running and the hydraulic pressure is between 0 - 700 PSI, but the gate is not moving.
The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions on its LCD display and the buzzer will emit a series of chirps at defined intervals. Review the table of Alerts, Faults and Errors listed in
System Diagnostic Messages on page 105 .
To check the status of all inputs on the terminal strip, the LED tact button must be pushed.
If the power is three-phase, verify counter-clockwise Electric Motor rotation. To reverse rotational direction, switch any two AC lines.
NOTE: The VFD Motor Controller displays trip and fault codes. Check to see if any error codes appear on the VFD display. Most VFD issues are resolved through the STC software and modbus interface.
1. Check the hydraulic fluid level by removing the plug in the pump reservoir. If necessary, add fluid at this location until the level is about ½ inch below the filler hole.
2. Unplug the hydraulic hoses and run the pump; if the pressure is low, adjust the Pressure Relief Valve.
3. If the Pressure Gauge does not respond to adjustment of the Pressure Relief Valve, completely remove the valve and depress the plunger at the nose end with a blunt tool (e.g., an Allen wrench) and blow on it to remove any debris.
PROBLEM 3: The gate only opens or only closes.
1. Verify that no external device is commanding the gate to open or close by watching the LEDs associated with each input.
2. If the gate only opens, the Directional Valve is probably stuck and needs to be checked for debris and cleared.
3. If the gate only closes, the Directional Valve Coil is not being energized or is defective.
PROBLEM 4: A run command causes PEC to appear on display.
Eye Alignment Feature on page 104
and Eye Close Logic (EC) in Troubleshooting on page 105
.
2. If you have a battery-powered photo eye, check that the batteries are viable and the batteries are fresh.

The system monitors the 24V control voltage in lieu of line voltage.
Low incoming line voltage will cause low control voltage. Verify that the control transformer is connected properly, (white – not used, red for 208V, orange for 230V and blue for 460V). Refer to
Transformer Connections (Non-UPS)
on page
As the motor starts, check the line voltage with a meter that has min/max hold capability. If the line voltage drops more than 10% below nominal (187 on 208 VAC, 207 on 230 VAC, or 416 on 460
VAC) the voltage is dropping too much and must be corrected.
Generally, this requires larger wire size. On 3-Phase operators, check each leg to ground to make sure it is balanced.
3 chirps upon any operating command entry

24V AC and DC power at the power supply. Voltages less than
20V indicate an overloaded or failing transformer or power supply board. Remove the loads until the fault is found.
DC operators only. Appears when the 24 VDC power drops too low, disabling the operator which helps prevent damage to the batteries from excessive discharge. Verify the AC power is present at the charger, the charger is on and charging (Red LED is illuminated).
The charger should shut off (Green LED) when the batteries charge to 29.0 VDC. If the batteries cannot “hold a charge” replace them.
AC power is shut off at the source (breaker) or is not connected. The operator’s AC power switch is turned off or the main circuit breaker has tripped.
• Have a licensed electrician check the wiring.
• Connect AC power to the operator.
• Reset circuit breaker at the electrical panel.
• Reset the operator circuit breaker.
• Turn AC power switch on.

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.

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.

Be sure the eye “common” wire is properly connected to the
SENSOR COM terminal.
The 24V control voltage is monitored in lieu of line voltage. Low incoming line voltage will cause low control voltage. Verify that the control transformer is connected properly, (white – not used, red for
208V, orange for 230V and blue for 460V). Check the line voltage as the motor starts with a meter that has min/max hold capability. If the line voltage drops more than 10% below nominal (187 on 208VAC,
207 on 230VAC, or 416 on 460VAC) the voltage is dropping too low and must be corrected. This condition is often caused by loose connections or the wire size being too small. If the wire is too small, it must be replaced.

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 121
.
AC-Powered Gate Operators
PROBLEM 1: Pushed the OPEN and CLOSE button, but the motor is not running.
1. Verify the incoming voltage and phase at the incoming power terminals matches the voltage and phase on the nameplate of the motor. They must match!
2. Verify the 24VAC transformer has the proper connection to the incoming power (the black wire is always connected); White – 115VAC*, Red = 208VAC, Orange = 230VAC, Blue = 480VAC.
3. Verify the primary tap wires match line voltage connected to operator. Measure the line voltage carefully to distinguish between 208V and 230V branch circuits or between 390V and 460V branch circuits. A label on top of the transformer identifies the various voltage taps. This connection must match the voltage on the operator nameplate.
NOTE: Primary taps do not exist on battery operators.
4. Verify the 24VAC is present at the Red and Green wires from the control transformer to the Power Supply Board by measuring the bottom of the power supply board at the -ACC+ connectors.
5. Verify that the main power wires are at least the minimum wire size specified in
on
enough to avoid excess voltage drop.
6. Verify 24VDC power is present on the Power Supply Board between the +24VDC terminals above the terminal strip and any screw connection on the terminal strip.
7. Be sure a 20A circuit (protected with a 20A inverse time breaker) is provided.
8. Check and make sure the operator is electrically grounded per NEC Article 250 and local codes.
9. Verify the 24VDC is present at the +24VDC and common terminals located along the lower edge of the Smart
Touch Controller board. (RADIO OPTIONS, etc.)
10. Verify that the “Heart Beat” LED is blinking green.
11. Verify the display is operational on the LCD and VFD display.
12. With the knowledge that the power is correct and the electric motor runs, check the STC display. If an error, alert

Gates that run smoothly and operate well significantly improve the life of the gate operator’s motor and component parts. Refer to
Mechanical Maintenance on page 117 .
On site gate movement issues can usually be resolved in the short term by manually moving the gate open and close. Refer to
Manual Release: Manual Bypass Valve . on page 22 .

i ssues
The speed at which the operator moves the gate is determined by the size of the hydraulic pump and software settings.
CAUTION
Attempting to slow gate speed by changing a valve setting will cause inefficiency and increased heating of the hydraulic system, which will degrade system performance and also may result in premature system failure.
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. This high quality fluid, combined with other design considerations, allows HySecurity to rate its operators for service in ambient temperatures of -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
If the gate speed of your operator has been affected by cold weather, perform the following:
1. Verify the gate hardware is not impaired by ice.
2. Verify that the reservoir is filled with Uniflow fluid.
NOTE: Consider adding a heater in extreme cold weather regions. A biodegradable fluid option does exist, but it does not have the same fluid viscosity at extremely low temperatures. The biodegradable fluid option has a temperature rating between -10°F and 158°F (-23°C and 70°C).

NOTICE: 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 the Troubleshooting Codes: Table 8 on page 107
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, especially if any work has been done recently.
Clock Battery Replacement
A lithium coin battery supports the clock, so the date and time is retained even when the main power is turned off. Replace the battery about every five years (or as needed) with a DL 2025, DL 2032, or CR
2025, or CR 2032 battery.

Stopping the Gate
Most models (except StrongArm 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.
Starting the Gate
To accommodate for loads moving beyond one foot per second, it is necessary to Soft Start the load gently and stop it smoothly.
HySecurity accomplishes Soft Start with another exclusive feature we call an Accumulator With Out Gas (AWOG), which diverts some of the start-up hydraulic flow, accommodates for the load, and starts the gate smoothly, similar to letting your foot slowly off a car clutch without any lurching.
The downward facing AWOG (shown right) improves the life and performance of a gate system and never needs adjustment.
AWOG

NOTICE: Before checking the internal mechanisms of the operator, turn off all power switches.
The mechanical maintenance for the StrongArm is not in depth or difficult, but should be performed on a routine basis.
Schedule regular maintenance:
Check for signs of rust. The operator chassis is zinc plated which is corrosion-resistant, but some environments may increase the rate of corrosion. If any areas of rust are found, reduce the spread of corrosion by treating the areas with a rust inhibitor.
Grease the hydraulic cylinder every 50,000 cycles. Use NLGI #2 Grade Moly EP (Extreme Pressure) lithium base grease only and apply it with a standard grease gun. Grease other main shaft bearings every 100,000 cycles.
Check the motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes which wear over time and must be replaced.
Failure to replace the brushes will result in damage to the DC motor. 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 Clock Battery Replacement on page 116.

Fluid Level: Under normal conditions, hydraulic systems do not consume fluid. Check the system thoroughly for leaks, before adding any fluid. If fluid needs to be added:
1. Remove the metal plug from the tank.
2. Use HySecurity Uniflow hydraulic fluid; part number
MX000970. Gallon sold by our distributors.
3. Use a funnel to fill to within ½ inch of the plug level. 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.
Brake
Valves
Look for leaks: Occasionally there may be slight seeping at the fittings after some usage. Tightening of the fittings usually corrects the problem. If leaking persists, replace “O” rings, fittings or hoses, if required. No further leaks should occur.
To Change Fluid: Unlike a gas engine, the fluid inside a hydraulic system does not foul, so fluid changes do not need to occur often.
HySecurity recommends draining the reservoir and replacing the fluid at five-year intervals. Fluid breakdown caused by heat is the main concern. If the unit is subjected to high use, or you are using the HySecurity biodegradable fluid option (especially in a warm climate), change the fluid more frequently.
Solenoid
Filler
Plug
Quick
Disconnect
To change the hydraulic fluid,
1. Remove the reservoir from the pump pack.
2. Completely empty it.
3. Wipe the reservoir clean and clean the debris screen.
4. Re-assemble the pump unit and refill it with new Uniflow hydraulic fluid.
5. To avoid overfilling, slowly pour the fluid through the filler port near the reservoir’s top until the fluid is within ½ inch of the port’s opening.
6. Replace the plug and wipe up any spilled fluid. Spilled fluid dries to a sticky and messy consistency.
Cold Weather Issues:
1. Check that your reservoir is filled with our Uniflow high performance fluid.
2. Excessive ice buildup can partially or totally jam gate operation. Operate the gate manually, while clearing the ice buildup.
3. If the operator is located in an area of extreme snow conditions, regular maintenance to dig the operator out may be required. A heater option may help.
NOTE: A biodegradable fluid option does exist, but it does not have the same fluid viscosity at extremely low temperatures. Uniflow fluid temperature rating is between -40°F and 158°F (-40°C and 70°C). The biodegradable fluid has a temperature rating between -10°F and 158°F (-23°C and 70°C).

Brake Valve Adjustments
Proper adjustment of the brake valves is important for smooth operation of the gate.
See
Adjusting Brake Valve on page 44.
Pressure Relief Valve Adjustments
The Pressure Relief Valve governs the maximum system hydraulic pressure. It is located on the backside of the pump. The pressure relief valve is factory set and may need to be adjusted depending on the gate weight.
See
instructions.
Open Valve
The open valve is solenoid operated and, when energized, directs the hydraulic flow to open the gate. No adjustment of this valve is possible or necessary. The black solenoid coil mounts on its valve stem.

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. One person should easily be able to push all but the largest of gates. Damaged or warped gate panels should be straightened or replaced.
*2. Normally, drive wheel life is many years. They are designed to avoid slipping on the rail. Drive wheel life may be greatly shortened by any of these faults: clamping spring not adjusted correctly, operator or drive rail misaligned in relation to gate panel, badly warped gate panel, extremely stiff gate hardware, and/or loose wheel mounting bolts (tighten to 25 ft. lb).
*3. Verify that the red clamping spring is compressed tightly so that drive wheels apply a strong grip on drive rail. The red spring should be compressed to 2-inches in height.
*4. The limit switch and deceleration switch rollers should ride ¼ to ½-inch below the drive rail, near the center of the channel.
Maladjustment may result in false or early tripping or no limit function at the end of travel. Verify that the slow down limit ramps are tightly bolted to the drive rail.
*5. The fluid level should remain no less than one inch below the filler hole. Refer to maintenance instructions for fluid filling.
Loss of fluid is not normal and indicates a leak that must be located and repaired. Use Uniflow fluid, part MX000970, if additional fluid is required.
*6. Replace the Smart Touch Controller coin battery with DL 2025 / DL 2032 or CR 2025 / CR 2032.
*7. DC Operators use DC motors with 4 carbon brushes which wear in normal operation. Worn brushes can damage the DC motor. Under severe conditions HySecurity recommends that brushes be checked after 2 years or 250,000 cycles and the replacement interval be adjusted as necessary.

CH1 and CH2 may be programmed to the same SENSOR # TYPE on one controller, but each CH must be connected to separate SENSOR inputs. Always make sure that a gate edge is installed on each bi-parting swing gate.
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.
NOTE: Use Miller Gate Edges that have a wire marked with Blue
Tape . The Blue Tape indicates a resistor is built in. Use receivers and transmitters, labeled Version
1.02 or higher.
Miller Edge LEARN mode. Press the LEARN button on the Receiver for 2 seconds until the amber light blinks continuously. Press the Edge or Test button on the Transmitter to complete the LEARN mode process and sync the receiver and transmitter.
