Important Safety Instructions

Safety Requirements

Automatic gate operators provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is imperative that gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. The gate operator is only one component of the total gate operating system. It is the joint responsibility of the architect, site designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is appropriately configured for its intended use. Additionally, certain municipalities have established licensing, codes or regulations that regulate automated gate system design and installation. Consult local government agencies for up-to-date rules and regulations prior to gate system design or installation.

MPORTANT

AFETY

NSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Start the gate operator only when the gate’s travel path is clear.

Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use.

Installers, maintenance crew, and owners/users must read and follow the Important Safety Instructions in this

manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified installers handle the installation of the SlideSmart gate operator. A “qualified” installer has one of the following:

• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment.

• Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years.

• Significant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation.

Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for current safety standards and regulations regarding gate operators and automated gates. All aspects of gate installation must comply with the appropriate safety standard. For the most up-to-date ASTM F2200 Gate and

Fence Standards, refer to www.astm.org

. For UL 325 Safety Standard, refer to www.ul.com.

Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility

• Study the entire contents of this manual prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the SlideSmart gate operator. Taking extra time to align the gate operator and verify a fully functional installation will reduce maintenance, guarantee longest system life, and ensure customer satisfaction.

• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. Refer to

Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class

in this manual. Install SlideSmart only when the gate operator class is correct for the site and type of gate.

• Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.

Screen or enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards.

→

All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate’s base support to a minimum height of 6 feet (183cm) above the ground. The screen mesh must prevent a sphere of 2¼-inches

(57mm) in diameter from passing through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the gate’s open position.

Revision D Safety Requirements S-1

Important Safety Instructions

→

Physical stops exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and guard posts prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.

• Before attaching the operator to the gate, slide the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves freely. A gate that slides easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the opening or closing of the gate.

• In the case of hydraulic operators, never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.

• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.

• To reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path, make sure the gate is installed in a location so enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or closing.

Minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.

• Make sure a separate walk-through entrance is nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is designated and signs direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. No one should cross the path of a moving gate.

• Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/

Reset) where a user will have a clear view of the gate.

• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate must be:

• Located in a clear line of sight to the gate.

• Mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm) of the gate, to prevent users from touching or accessing the gate while operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching through or around the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.

• Incorporate a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage label on the junction box.

• Install enough external entrapment protection sensors so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both directions of the gate travel and all hazard areas and possible pinch points are fully protected. Review

the information found in Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

• Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate so they are clearly visible from both sides of the gate. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.

• Connect radio and other remote access (non-resetting controls) to the RADIO OPTIONS terminals.

• Open and close the gate to confirm that it was properly installed and to ensure reduced risk of entrapment.

Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety Standards. Have a qualified gate technician test the gate monthly.

• When you complete the installation, show the end user how to:

→

Remove the cover. Turn the power off and on to demonstrate relearn limits after DC/AC cycles.

→

Turn the DC power switch off, which disengages the motor, and manually push the gate.

→

Use the Emergency Stop Button located on the side of the control box. It can be accessed through a hole in the cover.

NOTE

Gate operator instructions must be given to the owner per UL 325 Safety Standards.

S-2 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Important Safety Instructions

Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility

WARNING

A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Automatic gate operators move gates with high force. Make sure gates and gate operators are installed to reduce the risks of entrapment. Verify your gate and gate operator comply with UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM F2200 Gate and

Fence Standards. Ask for a copy of the gate operator’s product literature and review it. You are responsible for educating all gate system users about proper use of the automated gate system.

• Automatic gates are for vehicular use only; provide and maintain walkways and signs to direct pedestrians to a separate walk-through entrance.

• An automatic gate can start at any time without warning; always keep people away from the gate area.

• Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio transmitters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate, gate area, or gate operators.

• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually release the gate.

CAUTION

Before attempting a manual release, make sure the gate is not moving.

• WARNING signs supplied with the gate operator must remain installed and clearly visible on both sides of the gate. The signs are required to maintain UL 325 compliance.

• Do not physically disable the warning buzzer and NEVER disconnect or cut its wires. The buzzer is required to function in the event of entrapment, regardless of UL 325 gate usage class. It provides an alert that the gate is about to move. Disabling the warning buzzer may increase the risk or extent of injury if entrapment occurs.

• Test the gate operator monthly. Specifically, test the primary Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) and secondary entrapment protection sensors. The gate must reverse its direction of travel upon contact with a rigid object and/or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and test the gate operator on a regularly maintained schedule can increase the risk of injury or death.

• Have a professional gate installer routinely test the entire gate operator and entrapment protection sensors.

Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware to keep the gate running smoothly.

Important Safety Instructions

Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal

SlideSmart uses sealed, state-of-the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and highly recommends replacing used batteries with new AGM-type batteries.

CAUTION

The batteries used with the SlideSmart gate operator contain materials that are considered hazardous to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. Refer to federal guidelines found in Hazardous Waste Regulations .

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons:

• Observe the polarity between the batteries and charging circuit.

• Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands. The charging circuit on HySecurity DC operators is designed for

AGM-type batteries, not lead acid-type batteries. HySecurity strongly recommends that only sealed AGM style batteries be used.

• Exercise care in handling batteries. Be aware that the metal found in rings, bracelets, and keys can conduct electricity, short the batteries, and cause potential injury.

• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Battery cells contain corrosive materials which may cause burns and other injuries. The material within batteries is toxic.

• Always dispose of batteries properly. Do NOT place batteries in fire. The battery cells may explode. Follow federal guidelines for proper disposal of hazardous waste.

•

Replace batteries according to the instructions found in DC Battery Replacement.

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

ECONDARY

NTRAPMENT

ROTECTION

ENSORS

SlideSmart is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES). UL 325 Safety Standard compliance requires installation of secondary entrapment protection sensors, the number of which, depends on the entrapment hazards that exist at each particular installation.

To comply with UL 325, the following external sensors may be used:

• Contact sensors, such as edge sensors

• Non-contact sensors, such as photoelectric eyes

The site designer or installer can choose either photoelectric eyes or edge sensors or use these devices in combination. Whatever devices are used, protection in both the opening and closing directions of gate travel must be provided.

The UL 325 Safety Standard for automatic sliding gates specifically requires that edge sensors or photoelectric eyes or a combination of both devices be installed to protect against pedestrian entrapment in BOTH directions of the gate travel and where an entrapment hazard exists.

PHOTOELECTRIC EYES: One or more photoelectric eyes shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate.

CAUTION

A photoelectric eye or contact sensor is also required to protect against possible entrapment if the gate opens to a position less than 16 inches from any object, such as a post or wall.

EDGE SENSORS: One or more edge sensors shall be located on the leading and trailing edges of a slide gate where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. One or more contact sensors (edge sensors) shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post-mounted, both inside and outside of a sliding gate.

SENSOR SECURITY: A hard-wired sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that communication between the sensor and gate is not subjected to mechanical damage.

SENSOR FUNCTION and COMMUNICATION: A sensor that transmits its signal to the 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 the end-use conditions.

UL 325 LISTING: The edge sensors and photo electric eyes must be tested and labeled as “Recognized

Components” under UL 325 in order to be deemed acceptable for use in a gate operator. Study the

Important

Safety Instructions

and consider your specific installation to determine where the greatest entrapment risks exist.

Locate edge sensors and/or photoelectric sensors accordingly. Be certain that a sufficient number of sensors are used so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both directions of the gate travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. Refer to the UL website at www.ul.com

for the 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.

Revision D Safety Requirements S-5

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class

The SlideSmart operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the Slide Gate and Vertical Barrier

Arm category for gate operators. Its usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate services.

Four different vehicular usage classes are defined by UL 325:

Class I

Class I: Intended for use in a location of one to four single family dwellings or a parking area associated with one to four single family dwellings.

Class II

Class II: Intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multifamily housing units (five or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores or other buildings servicing the general public.

Class III

Class III: Intended for use in an industrial location or building such as factories or loading docks or other locations not intended to service the general public.

Class IV

Class IV: Intended for use in guarded industrial locations or buildings such as an airport security area or other restricted access location, not servicing the general public, in which access is monitored by security personnel or via closed circuitry.

S-6 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection

The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with the SlideSmart operator to meet UL compliance. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described below. For a complete listing of the requirements, see UL 325 Safety Standards.

NOTE

SlideSmart is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES) that complies with UL 325. Any impediment to gate travel causes the gate to stop and reverse.

Usage Class

Class I, II, III

Class IV

Primary Type Device

Secondary Type Device

B1, B2, C, or D

B1, B2, C, D, or E

To comply with UL 325, refer to the chart and take the following steps:

1) Select the Usage Class according to the gate’s locale and purpose.

2) The required UL 325 primary Type A sensor is an integral part of the SlideSmart system.

3) Based on the gate’s usage class, choose Secondary Type Devices: B1, B2, C, D, or E.

• To comply using B1 - install non-contact sensors (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent).

• To comply using B2 - install contact sensors (edge sensor device or the equivalent).

• To comply using a Type D device requires a CONSTANT HOLD push-button station. This CONSTANT

HOLD push-button station must be the only device that opens and closes the gate. It can only be used where the gate and push button station will be monitored by personnel 24 hours a day in full view of the gate area.

An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) must not be employed. A Warning placard stating, “WARNING - Moving Gate has the Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start the

Gate Unless the Path is Clear” must be placed adjacent to the gate operator controls.

CAUTION

While compliance is possible with Type C, which is a low force limiting clutch, the SlideSmart operator does not utilize a clutch, therefore this option is not available.

Similar compliance issues exist with a Type E device (audio warn before operate alarm). A Type

E device is permitted as a means of secondary entrapment protection by UL 325 in Class IV applications, but it is not recommended by HySecurity because a buzzer warns, but cannot protect against possible entrapment. HySecurity highly recommends, even for Class IV use, that secondary entrapment protection (edge or photo-eye sensor) devices be installed to detect possible entrapment.

Revision D Safety Requirements S-7

Emergency Stop Button

MERGENCY

TOP

UTTON

An emergency stop button that is accessible from the outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance with UL 325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop button is located inside a hole cutout on the SlideSmart cover.

Red

Emergency Stop

Pressing the emergency stop button while the gate is opening or closing disables the automatic close timer and stops gate travel. The gate travel remains stopped until the operator receives an open or close signal.

Make sure all users of the gate know where the emergency stop button is located.

A screwdriver or hex key can be used to press lightly on the switch to activate it.

MERGENCY

ELEASE

Make sure and teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the gate manually. SlideSmart allows a gate to be pushed manually when the operator’s DC power is turned off. ( You DO NOT need to turn

AC power off to manually push the gate.

) See NOTE.

When you turn DC power off, the following occurs:

• The motor disengages which makes it easier to push the gate open (or close)

• The GATE NO LOAD (FAULT 4) appears on the display

• The position sensor is active and established limits are remembered

To turn DC power on, take the following steps:

1. Make sure the gate is not moving.

2. Flip the DC power switch on.

3. Clear any faults by pressing STOP or RESET.

NOTE

If you turn OFF both power switches (AC and DC) and manually move the gate, the operator will search for the target to re-establish its limits. When you turn AC & DC power back ON, the operator will cycle the gate and search for the target magnet (its “home” position).

An operator with the DC power switch ON and the AC power switch OFF still functions normally, but “NO AC” flashes in the display. If you “push” the gate, it will push back because the position sensor is active and the motor is engaged.

Wind Load Factors & Site Prep

IND

OAD

ACTORS

& S

ITE

REP

Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. Solid gate panels produce a larger wind load than gates with slats or open decorative features. If you are installing a gate operator in high wind areas, the gate design will affect the load on the gate operator. Because wind force acts the same as an obstruction, it is important that gates be designed to present a relatively low surface area for the wind to push on the gate panel.

If the gate is heavy and near the weight capacity of what the gate operator can handle (see specifications for

SlideSmartDC on the back cover), make sure it has an open design that allows wind to flow through it. A solid or semi-solid gate design under certain wind load conditions may cause damage to the gate operator and is not covered by the HySecurity Limited Warranty.

Several factors play into the calculations of the wind load on a gate panel. To find out the maximum wind speed in areas around the United States, search for US government wind speed maps on the internet. If you don’t know how to calculate for wind load, ask a mechanical engineer or site architect for assistance prior to installing the gate operator and gate panels.

SlideSmartDC incorporates a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) into its design per UL 325

Safety Standards. (More information about adjusting the adaptive IES software can be found in this manual under, Adjusting the IES Sensitivity.) When the IES trips, it sends a signal to the gate operator to stop and reverse direction. This feature may be falsely triggered in excessively windy conditions because the wind itself, acting over the surface area of the gate panel, can provide the necessary force to trigger the IES.

CAUTION

Do not adjust IES sensitivity to accommodate for inappropriately designed gate panels. Loss of

IES sensitivity increases mechanical wear on the gate hardware and the gate operator. It may also pose a safety hazard. Compensating for wind loads by adjusting the IES may set the IES sensitivity to a level which, when encountering an obstruction, ignores the obstruction and fails to reverse direction. For more information, refer to Adjusting the IES Sensitivity.

The LEARN LIMITS display automatically appears after you set the gate weight. To set the open and close limits, take the following steps:

1. Hold the OPEN button until the gate slides to full open.

Release the OPEN button. Note that if you go too far, you can press CLOSE to reverse direction. Press STOP twice to store the open stop location in memory.

Note: Do not set limits at the physical OPEN and CLOSE stops.

Leave a 1 to 2-inch (2.5 - 5cm) gap to allow some slack and give in the chain. This will help prevent chain wear and avoid stress on gear hardware.

2. Hold the CLOSE button until the gate slides to full close.

Release the CLOSE button and press STOP twice. The full close stop is retained in memory.

Note: Pressing OPEN will reverse direction.

3. GATE CLOSED appears on the display and ALERT 15 flashes until the target magnet is installed and its location

Chapter 2 NSTALLING THE

ARTH

ROUND

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) requires a separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.

HySecurity recommends grounding the operator with a separate earth ground rod to shield the operator against electromagnetism and other electrical signals that may cause erratic operation with or damage to the

Smart DC Controller.

NOTE

If you do not ground the operator with a separate earth ground rod, you risk voiding the

Limited Warranty.

For earth grounding requirements, 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 is a solid copper rod: minimum requirements: ⅝" (16mm) diameter and 10 feet (3m) 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 6AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91cm) long.

• Local jurisdictions may impose additional requirements above the NEC and NFPA 780. Consult the local codes and regulations regarding requirements in your area.

Revision D Power 2-1

Installing the Earth Ground

Take the following steps to comply with NEC and NFPA

780 standards:

1. Install a grounding rod per local building codes. See

Figure 2-1.

2. Attach a large earth ground wire (6AWG) from the grounding rod to the lug nut on the base of the chassis.

• New site : Run the 6AWG wire through the concrete base and into the cutout on the chassis base.

• Existing site : Run the 6AWG wire beneath the rear cover.

Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate operator performance and the life of its electrical components. Use sufficient wire size during installation.

Using A Solar Powered Operator

SING

A S

OLAR

OWERED

PERATOR

HySecurity offers a solar version of the SlideSmart operator in 1ft/s or 2ft/s models. The solar models have different internal wiring and include software programmed for solar use. The Smart DC Controller has a builtin charger which allows a 24V solar panel (or two 12V panels) a direct connection to the SlideSmart operator with no additional electronic devices required.

NOTE

Solar panels are NOT included in the purchase of the SlideSmart DCS 15 and 10F operators.

Also, adapting a standard SlideSmart DC operator to a solar application is not recommended.

For ease of installation and proper functionality, be sure to order a solar model, SlideSmart

DCS, for a solar-powered site.

To plan a solar-powered site, read through this entire section. Keep in mind that the solar

SlideSmart DCS operator does not have the following components:

• Transformer

• AC power supply board

• AC service outlet

• Various wiring adaptations that are standard in a SlideSmart DC operator

Design Requirements & Considerations

Two standard 8Ah batteries are supplied with SlideSmart DCS and nominally support up to 1,500 feet of gate travel per day based on the following:

•

Battery storage capacity based on 4 solar hours per day. See Figure 2-6.

•

20WATT solar panel system (minimum requirement). See Figure 2-4.

• A gate weight of 1000lbs (454kg), gate length of 30ft (9m), and gate speed of 1ft/s (30.5cm/s)

• Connection to two HY-5A and one multi-code radio receiver. Note that if connected properly, photo eyes are not considered in the power load because the Smart DC Controller only powers the photo eyes when

the motor engages. Refer to Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only

NOTE

The available 50Ah battery option supports up to 9,000 feet of gate travel per day.

The design of the solar-powered site is important in maintaining the highest gate cycle capacity and extending the life of the batteries. The construction of a solar-powered gate and its cycle capacity is significantly affected by the following:

• Energy demand of the peripheral devices. The more energy efficient the device the less power draw occurs to the batteries.

• Sun hours at the site. “Sun hours” relate to the amount of energy delivered by the sun and absorbed by the

solar panels. It is NOT the same as the number of daylight hours available at the site. See Figure 2-7.

• Design considerations must use calculations that are figured for the darkest months of the year (typically

December/January). Higher wattage panels may be required.

• Impediments to the sun’s rays reaching the solar panels. Elements such as, shade, improper alignment, or dirty panels will reduce the amount of power available.

2-6 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Using A Solar Powered Operator

NOTE

Solar panels must not be shaded (not even partially) or the output power will be significantly reduced. Panels must be kept clean as small areas of sunlight blockage cause a large reduction in output power. Alignment is also critical because the rated wattage output is based on the solar panels being mounted perpendicular to the angle of the sun’s rays midday on winter solstice

(December 21st).

• Extreme temperatures affect battery life. Keep the batteries away from temperatures above 90°F (32°C).

See

Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators .

• Good gate hardware and smooth, unobstructed gate travel lowers the operator’s power draw and serves to extend battery life.

NOTE

Any solar systems that are designed close to the minimum margins will stress and shorten the battery life and risk unreliable operation, especially in periods of inclement weather.

Connecting the SlideSmart DCS to Solar Power

1. Use 14 gauge wire or larger to connect the solar panel(s) within 100ft of the operator. Check NEC and local regulations if other distances apply.

2. Use one 24VDC solar panel or two 12VDC solar panels in series with a total capacity of at least 20W.

Mount them according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.

3. Make sure both DC power switches on the SlideSmart control box are in the OFF position, and then remove the two Phillips head screws that secure the 24VDC cover to the junction box.

4. Wire nut or crimp bond the solar panel wires to the black and red input wires.

5. Wire nut or crimp bond the equipment ground wire to the green ground wire in the junction box.

To connect any peripheral devices to a solar operator, use the 24VDC or 12VDC terminals. Because a solar operator gets its energy from the sun and stores the energy produced by the solar panels in batteries that are constantly discharging, it is important to use peripheral devices that draw and consume as little power as possible.

When you attach photo eyes for entrapment protection, you have the option to wire the photo eyes to the EYE COM and +24VDC. When wired to these connections, the photo eyes only draw power when the motor engages, thereby extending battery life. The same can be said for HY-5A vehicle detectors which draw a minimal 0.005A per detector; compared to box detectors which usually draw, at minimum, 0.009A. For more information on photo eyes,

refer to the section titled Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only

. To review

information about vehicle detectors, refer to Vehicle Detector Installation Options .

Understanding Gate Activity based on Solar Zones

Use the solar maps to determine the number of solar hours per day that can be reasonably expected in a particular zone. The number of solar hours per day affects the amount of gate travel for a free-rolling gate powered by the SlideSmart solar operator.

NOTE

Remember, the sun is the only source of energy. If you need to increase the amount of gate travel per day (i.e. feet of gate travel), additional solar panels may be required. Also, the greater the battery capacity, the longer the operator can cycle the gate on cloudy days without the recharge provided by the solar panels. Sites requiring more than 1, 500 feet of gate travel per day or those sites located in less sunny climes, need larger capacity batteries. HySecurity offers a

50Ah battery option which provides six times the storage capacity of the standard 8Ah batteries.

Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators

MPORTANT

ONSIDERATIONS FOR

DC-

POWERED

PERATORS

• Since the operator is intended to run on batteries, control of the load is important. Gates that move easily and do not bind will drain less energy from the battery, preserving capacity for more cycles during a power failure.

• Be certain to observe polarity when connecting the batteries or adding accessories. Reversed polarity may result in a non-functional operator or damage to a component. Red (+) is positive and black (-) is negative.

If shorted, the batteries will generate a very high current. The batteries are connected in a series circuit:

Join the positive (+) terminal from one battery to the negative (-) terminal of the next battery.

• Batteries have a finite life and age more quickly when exposed to temperatures above 80°F (27°C). Battery temperatures above 104°F (40°C) are damaging and significantly shorten battery life.

• As the batteries age, they will progressively lose their capacity to store energy. If the total amount of back up capacity is critical, plan to replace the batteries after two years of use especially in hot climates. Properly

discard used batteries. Refer to Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal

WARNING

Batteries contain sulfuric acid. Acid in your eyes, on your skin, or on your clothing can cause injury and severe burns. If batteries are dropped or damaged dispose of them properly.

• Batteries are rated to perform to capacity at certain temperatures. Variations in temperature affect

performance of the batteries. An example of amp hour performance is shown in Table 2-3. HySecurity

mounts the battery pack near the transformer to provide residual heat around the batteries which guards against amp hour loss.

Table 2-3.

• HySecurity uses a permanently sealed AGM-type battery which last much longer than wet cell batteries and needs no maintenance over its life span. Batteries are protected from over discharge by a low voltage sensing circuit. The charger circuit regulates to allow high charger output when the battery is partially discharged. The charger circuit automatically reduces the output to near zero as the batteries become fully charged.

NOTE

The SlideSmart operator stores all User and Installer Menu settings in non-volatile memory

(EEPROM). Configurations are saved if a power loss occurs, and reinstated once power is restored.

ODE

Gate status displays appear when the operator is ready and waiting for a gate operation command. When the menu display is flashing “GATE OPENING” or “GATE CLOSING” a command has been received which starts the motor and drives the gate. The command may come from a variety of sources: a card reader, pushbutton remote, or recognition of a vehicle passing over a free exit loop detector. In all cases, the operator “runs” the motor when it receives a gate operation command.

Adjusting the IES Sensitivity

SlideSmart uses a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) per UL325 Safety Standards. A solid immovable object blocking the gate will trip the IES and cause the operator to stop and reverse (for two seconds) and enter safe mode.

The adaptive IES software monitors the average running motor current while the gate is in motion and reverses the gate when the current exceeds an automatically self-adapting average.

SE 2

IES SENSITIVITY

The IES display, accessed through the Installer Menu, allows you to input a number between 0 and 9. The settings (0 through 6) allow an increasingly higher threshold (amount of headroom) above the average current draw before tripping. For IES settings 7 through 9, the current limit is a fixed relatively high value before the IES will be tripped. The factory setting is 2, which is adequate for most sites.

OPEN CLOSE STOP MENU RESET

PREV NEXT SELECT

CAUTION

Avoid setting the IES sensitivity to a fixed level (7 - 9 setting). The high motor current required for the IES to trip could cause severe injury or death to people caught in the moving gate.

For IES settings (0 through

6), the motor current is continually being measured and the IES threshold automatically set to trip at the average current plus the additional “headroom” provided by the IES setting selected.

When changing the IES setting, consider the site design and vehicular gate traffic. It is recommended that you use the most sensitive setting while still allowing for reliable gate operation.

Examples of conditions which affect IES sensitivity include:

1. Start at a gate status display.

HYSECURITY

Gate condition - If the gate environment is near salty sea air, rusty wheels or chains might impede gate travel over time. Additionally, gates that are hit and bent may have very stiff areas during travel that cause a large variation in motor current.

Revision D Smart DC Controller 4-3

Overview of the Smart DC Controller

Vehicle Detector Installation Options

The Smart DC Controller provides a feature-rich interface to four different vehicle detector inputs.

NOTE

Standard box type 11 pin (24 Volt DC or 24 Volt AC) vehicle detectors may be connected in

the traditional manner as described in Installing Standard 11-Pin Box Type Vehicle Detectors .

HySecurity’s custom HY-5A mini-detector module (Figure 4-3) plugs directly into the Smart DC Controller board

making field installation much faster plus providing a large performance benefit. The detector communicates with the Smart DC Controller microprocessor to achieve the following benefits over common box type detectors:

• Loop frequency is automatically set and monitored by the Smart DC Controller

• Very low power draw, which is important for maximum UPS capability during a power failure and for solar applications.

• Cross-talk between multiple loops is impossible.

• Best operating frequency for each loop is automatically selected.

• Loop frequency and call strength can be reported on the Smart DC Controller display.

• Loop malfunctions are reported and stored by the Smart DC Controller.

• Most detector or loop faults that can occur are reported and presented on the Smart DC Controller display.

It is not mandatory to use two separate detectors for inner and outer obstruction detection, but the benefits in using an additional detector provide second vehicle tailgating detection, loitering alert, and selectable nonreversing options.

Overview of the Smart DC Controller

There are four vehicle detector inputs available on the Smart DC Controller:

• Free Exit Loop Detector - This opens a fully closed gate or reopens a closing gate.

• Outside Obstruction Loop Detector (Out Obs Loop) - Reversing loop on public side

• Inside Obstruction Loop Detector (In Obs Loop) - Reversing loop on secure side

• Center Loop Detector - Not used for slide gates.

NOTE

Use of any combination of HY-5A 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 loop cannot be connected to any one detector because the sensitivity becomes inadequate. Refer to

Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops .

ONNECTING

HY-5A V

EHICLE

ETECTORS

Install the HY-5A Vehicle Detector modules according to the following procedure:

1. Turn off both AC and DC power switches.

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 DC Controller board.

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.

4. Route the loop wires through the holes provided in the control box and connect the loop leads to the two terminals on the HY-5A detector. Tighten the terminal screws securely.

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for each HY-5A detector.

6. To enable the detectors, turn on power. The detectors will immediately tune if they are connected to loops.

Make sure no cars or other metal objects are over the loops.

7. If the detector module is unplugged after it is enabled, a communications alert (ALERT 10) will be triggered; if the fault continues 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 DC Controller automatically governs frequency selection for all HY-5A detector modules. This simplifies installation and guarantees that there is no cross-talk between multiple loops. The frequency can also be manually selected; if this is required, refer to the

Table 3-2 "Smart DC Controller - Installer Menu

Functions" on page 3-22

Revision D Smart DC Controller 4-5

Overview of the Smart DC Controller

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.

If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary switch which has the following eight settings:

• 0 = Low with boost (See NOTE.)

• 1 = Normal with boost (See NOTE.)

• 2 = Medium with boost (See NOTE.)

• 3 = High with boost (See NOTE.)

• 4 = Low without 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. Vehicle detector functions are configurable through the Installer Menu as described in Table 4-2.

NOTE

If photo eyes are used to monitor vehicle traffic instead of loop detectors, connect the photos eyes using the same steps. See

Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection

Only

If standard 11-pin box type vehicle detectors are to be used, perform the following procedure.

1. If there is sufficient space, install the sockets in the control box; if not, then install them in a separate

external housing. Figure 4-4 is for general reference only.

NOTE

Carefully consider your peripheral connections. Any peripheral device required for safe gate operation should be attached 24VDC in case of an AC power outage. Additionally, box detectors with relays require five times more power than HY-5A detectors. UPS battery life will be extended if you use HY-5A detectors instead.

2. Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Connect Pin No. 1 to a 24VAC or 24VDC terminal and Pin No. 2 to common.

3. 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 DC Controller.

4. 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. See Figure 4-4. The only wires

that are separate are the output wire to the Smart DC Controller and the detector loop input wires.

NOTE

Always keep the detector loop wires well twisted at all places 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 encapsu-

lated in loop sealant and cannot move. Refer to Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops .

The Standard Quick Close modes are selectable in the Installer Menu. Refer to Table 3-2 on page 3-22 .

The four selectable modes are described 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 block all close inputs.

Mode 2

Same function as Mode 1, except the close timer can count to zero even with the Free Exit, Outside

Obstruction Loop, Inside Obstruction Loop or the Center Loop detector inputs active. If the close timer has counted to zero, the gate will close when all detector inputs are clear.

Mode 3

Same function as Mode 1. However, the close timer is forced to zero when both the OOLD & IOLD are tripped simultaneously. Additionally, all other close inputs are memorized and the gate closes immediately when all open commands and vehicle detector inputs 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 pause only or reverse to reopen. The free exit detector input is blocked while the gate is closing.

User Relays - Programming Procedure

The Smart DC Controller is able to interface with many types of external devices through the use of two user-

programmable output relays. All of the user relay functions identified and described in Table 4-3 are accessible

in the Installer Menu.

NOTE

The User Relays will operate normally to less than 18VDC. The USER 2 RELAY is rated for

DC only up to 48V and does not have a N.C. (normally closed) connection.

Use the Smart DC Controller buttons to program the user relays according to the following steps:

1. Select and connect to the relay you wish to use on the Smart DC Controller board.

2. Access the Installer Menu and RL 1 or RL 2 display (depending on the relay you have connected).

3. Enter the appropriate function using the associated number (1 through 24) listed in the table.

Creates an interlock signal to another operator’s interlock input, or simply to indicate that the gate is secure. The relay is released when the fully-closed limit switch is tripped. The relay is energized 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.

Indicates a full-open position. This output becomes active when an open-limit is triggered and releases when the open-limit is released.

Trips a sequenced barrier arm gate operator to open. Generates a brief pulsed-output when the open-limit is triggered. An additional pulse is also generated with any new open command even when the gate is already fully-opened.

Controls an external warning device. This output operates at the same time as the internal warn before operate buzzer.

Controls external solenoid locks or magnetic locks. In both directions of travel, this output is activated about 7/10 ths

of a second before the operator starts moving the gate and remains active while moving as well as for a few seconds after stopping.

Activated if the gate is forced off the closed limit switch and operator is not able to restore the gate to full closed within four seconds. This alarm resets itself in 30 seconds.

Activates when the gate is open longer than a user-selected period of time. Adjustable from 0 delay to 135 seconds delay in 30-second time increments.

Note: TL - OPEN TIME ALERT adjustments can be made in the Installer Menu.

Safety Mode Alert output Activated when system is in Safe Mode or entrapment mode.

Entrapment Mode Alert output Activated only when system is in the Entrapment Mode.

Unauthorized Vehicle Entry output

EQUIREMENTS

When installing a dual-operator system, the following must be adhered to:

• An electrical conduit for interconnecting wires must span between the two operators. The master-slave communication wires and any low voltage control wires must be installed in a conduit that is separate from

the high voltage power wires. See Figure 5-2.

• Complete the installation of both operators as separate machines and verify that their basic functions are correct as solo operators before interconnecting them.

• External control inputs, vehicle detectors and entrapment protection sensors may be connected to either gate operator without regard to preference.

• Be sure both operators are running the same software version. The software version is available on the display by pressing the RESET button on the operator. The software version appears beneath the word

HYSECURITY. Keep the most current software loaded. It is available at www.hysecurity.com. Make it part of your maintenance routine to check for software upgrades on a regular basis.

• Both operators can be connected to the same 20A circuit breaker in the main panel. The wire size affects operator performance. Use the following chart as a guideline to size wire for the given distance from the power source to BOTH operators.

• Determine the electrical power requirements of your lock (maglock or solenoid lock). Electronic board and peripheral connections differ between high voltage and lower voltage gate operators.

• Determine the current required. A total combined current draw of 1 amp is available from the 24VDC,

24VAC, or 12VDC power supply. If the peripherals attached to the terminals need more than 1 amp, a separate

power supply is required. Refer to Overview of the Smart DC Controller and Figure 4-2.

Revision D Reference 6-5

Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops

NSTALLING

EHICLE

ETECTORS AND

OOPS

A vehicle detector passes a small current flow through the “loop” which then becomes an inductive coil. When a vehicle passes over the loop, the detector senses the resultant drop in the inductance and actuates the detector output.

Loop Configurations:

Configurations differ depending on the application. In parking applications, a loop may be as small as

4 x 6 foot (122 x 183cm). In traffic applications employing one of our swing or slide gate operators, the smallest loop should not be less than 6 x 6 foot (183 x 183cm) in order to detect high bed vehicles.

Rules to Follow for Security Gate Applications:

The side of the loop closest to the gate must be located at least 4 ft from the line of travel.

1. The shortest side of the loop should be between 6 and 8 feet (1.8m and 2.4m) in length. The longest side of the loop should be between 6 and 20 feet (1.8m and 6.1m) in length. For applications that need to span a wide area, use several smaller loops. Do not connect more than 200 square feet (18.6sq. m) of loop area to a single detector.

2. In applications with multiple loops, keep each loop at least 6 feet (1.8m) apart. This avoids “cross talk”. It is possible to have loops closer together by selecting different frequencies. An advantage of using

HySecurity model HY-5A detectors is that problematic “cross talk” is not possible.

3. For greater sensitivity and less chance of false calls caused by the motion of the gate, it is better to use multiple smaller loops, connected in a series circuit, to one detector instead of a single large loop.

4. To avoid interference, keep loops at least 2-inches (5cm) above any reinforcing steel. Do not route loop wires with, or in close proximity to, any other conductors, including other loop leads, unless shielded leadin cable is used. Never route high voltage circuits in PVC conduit near a loop.

5. Loop and lead-in wire should be one continuous piece. Avoid splices, if possible. If a splice is necessary for any reason, “pot” the splice in epoxy or use heat shrink to ensure that the quality of the splice covering is the same as the original wire jacket.

6. Use only 14, 16, or 18 gauge stranded wire with a direct burial jacket. Cross linked polyethylene insulation types, such as, XLPE or XHHW, will last much longer and are less prone to damage during installation than conventional insulation types. Preformed loops can be used before road surfacing or under pavers.

7. Twist loose tails of lead-in wires tightly, approximately ten times per foot. See Figure 6-5.

8. Follow this guide for the correct number of turns in the loop;

12 to 20 sq. ft = 5 turns; 20 to 60 sq. ft. = 4 turns; 60 to 240 sq. ft. = 3 turns

3.7 to 6.1sq. m = 5 turns; 6.1 to 18.3 sq. m = 4 turns; 18.3 to 73.1sq. m = 3 turns

Twist Like This Twist lead-in at least 10 turns per foot

Figure 6-5.

SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops

9. This guide is written from a design perspective, but installation workmanship practices are equally important to insure proper operation and long loop life. The best way to insure a quality installation is to employ a professional installer experienced with detector loops. A few important practices are:

• The slot in the surface of the road should be cut ¼-inch wide x 1½-inch deep (6.3mm x 38.1mm).

• The corners of the cut must be at an angle or core drilled to relieve stress on the wires.

• After the wire is installed, the slot must be completely backfilled with a non-hardening sealer. If the loop wires are able to move in the slot after the sealer has set, the detector may give false calls.

Figure 6-6.

Detector Logic

HySecurity recommends that vehicle detectors be used for free open and obstruction sensing logic only.

Because of their slower speeds, closing logic is a poor choice for security gate systems. Since there are several ways that the gate may be left standing open and because there is a loss of safety, our circuit has not been designed to accommodate “detect to close” logic.

Loop Diagnostics

The following tests cannot guarantee a functioning loop, but failure of either test means that the loop is definitely suspect, even though it may still be functioning at the time.

1. Test the resistance of the loop and lead-in wire. It should not exceed 4 Ohms.

2. Test the resistance between the loop and earth ground with a 500V Megohm meter. It should be 100

Megohms or more. Loops may function at 100 Megohms or less but will not be reliable (e.g. when the ground is wet from rainfall). Low resistance indicates broken or moisture saturated insulation. This is common if inappropriate wire insulation has been used.

A schematic for a slide gate loop layout is shown in Figure 6-7.

If no other secondary external entrapment protection devices (like edge sensors) are installed, then at least two photoelectric sensors are required to guard the gate in each direction of travel. If the photo eyes are tripped, the operator will temporarily stop the gate.

Consult a photoelectric sensor manual for wiring details. Make all electrical connections to Smart DC

Controller as shown in Figure 6-9.

• A photo eye trip does not reverse gate.

• The Smart DC Controller software is factory set to stop upon photo eye trip.

• Software is configurable to stop and reverse two seconds upon photo eye trip.

• If the photo eye is cleared within five seconds, the gate will proceed in the direction of travel.

The Smart DC Controller has two photoelectric sensor inputs (EYE OPEN and EYE CLOSE). See

Figure 6-9. 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.

Revision D Reference 6-9

Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only

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 thrubeam system, but retro-reflective eyes are generally more problematic in poor weather.

Avoid using retro-reflective devices across outdoor distances greater than 24 feet (7.3m) because of performance and reliability issues.

Mount thru-beam type photo eyes approximately

A minimum of two photo eyes are required, 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. Mount the emitters and the receivers just beyond the travel of the gate in both the full open and full closed positions of travel. The installation locations described above are intended for pedestrian detection. If photo eyes are to be used for vehicular detection, install a low elevation photo eye for cars and another photo eye at a height of about 55" (140cm) to detect semi-trucks.

Note: EYE COM & +24V is the recommended way to connect standard photo eyes to Smart DC Controller.

Other options include:

• Photo eye ON continuously: COM & +24VDC or +24VAC (if the photo eye uses 24VAC).

• Photo eye ON continuously with anti-fog feature:

COM & +24VAC (connecting to DC will negatively affect battery charging).

• Photo eye and peripherals draw more than 1A off one power supply: Requires a separate power supply connected to the service outlet.

NOTE

If photo eyes are to be used for vehicle detection and logically function the same as a vehicle detector, connect the common wires 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.

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, +24VAC, +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 EYE COM terminal at the bottom, left of the Smart DC Controller. (See NOTE.)

NOTE

This connection REQUIRES that both the Eye Open and Eye Closed inputs be connected to photoelectric eyes.

If two photo eyes are being installed and both have true NC output (one that is NC when the photo eye is powered, aligned and set for Light Operate), then a supervised connection is recommended. A supervised connection will signal a system Fault and prevent gate operation if either the open or close photo eye connection ever becomes an open circuit or a short circuit. The Installer Menu item PC - Photo Eye Output must be changed from a 0 to a 1 to enable this feature.

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 center of the receiver or reflector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system, especially with retroreflective photo eyes. The best way to assure true centering of the beam is with some trial testing where the emitter is shifted to move the 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 LED's for this setup, but they can be hard to see. HySecurity has provided a unique feature that turns power on to the photo eyes and causes our buzzer to

chirp when the photo eyes enter and exit alignment. See Table 3-1 "Smart DC Controller - User Menu

Functions" on page 3-12

to enable this feature. 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.

Revision D Reference 6-11

Using Photoelectric Sensors Instead of Vehicle Loops

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 the photo eye is realigned, be sure to perform the centering test again to verify that the reflector is truly in the center.

Refer to Figure 6-12 to help plan the most appropriate placement of the edge sensors being installed. For

sliding gates, one or more contact sensors (edge sensors) must be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and post-mounted both inside and outside of the sliding gate. Three-sided detectors are ideal for slide gates. If the clearance of the gate is 6" (15cm) or more above the road, then an edge sensor must be mounted on the bottom edge. Underwriters Laboratories requires that any contact sensor used as an external entrapment protection device, must be laboratory tested to, and recognized by, the UL 325 Standard.

Drill holes through the edge's mounting channel and through the surface that each gate edge is to be mounted.

Securely fasten every edge sensor. Make sure sensors extend to within 6" (15cm) of the pavement on the leading edge of the gate.

6-14 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Installing Gate Edge Sensors

Edge sensors that are not attached to the moving gate, such as post mounted sensors, must be wired in parallel and directly connected to the gate operator:

• If the gate is sliding open to a wall with less than 16" (41cm) of clearance, mount an edge sensor to the wall that aligns with the gate when it is in the open position.

Always route the leads from the edge sensors to the gate operator so that they are protected from physical damage.

• The preferred receiver connections are

shown in Figure 6-13. An optional

method is to connect one edge sensor lead to a COM terminal at the top, left side of the Smart DC Controller, and the other lead to the EDGE terminal, at the bottom, left side of the controller.

• Mount gate edge sensors to the leading edge and bottom edge of the gate so that entrapment protection is provided in both directions of travel.

• Mount one or two edge transmitters onto the gate panel near the upper corner of the leading edge of the gate. All edge sensors will function correctly if only one transmitter is used, but wiring multiple edges to a single transmitter may be impractical or displeasing visually.

• Connect the edges to the terminals in the edge transmitter and set the “dip” switches of the transmitter to

match the setting in the receiver to be used. Refer to Figure 6-13.

Revision D Reference 6-15

Smart DC Controller Troubleshooting

Mount a commercial style radio receiver* (external antenna type) in the channel of the chassis on either side of the operator. Knock out the nearest hole in the bottom of the control box, and route the wires to the area labeled RADIO OPTIONS. Only three wire connections are needed because the common wire and one radio output wire connect to the same terminal. Being certain to observe polarity, crimp together the black radio common wire and one of the radio output wires using a 0.25-inch spade connector, and fasten the wires to the

COM terminal. Connect the red wire to the +24V terminal and connect the other radio output contact wire to the spade marked EDGE (this is the same as the EDGE input on the terminal strip near the left side of the board).

• Mount an external antenna onto the top of a fixed post of the fence near the operator.

• Connect the antenna into the socket on the radio receiver.

• Set the “DIP” switches in the receiver to match the same code used in the transmitter.

Test the operation of the reversing edge to make sure that it functions correctly. Advise the gate user that they must retest this vital function weekly.

* If there is also to be a radio receiver for a hand held transmitter to operate the gate, be certain to use a two channel commercial receiver. The edge and hand held transmitters must have their codes set to match the receiver or they will not function.

Revision D Reference 6-23

Smart DC Controller Troubleshooting

Even if the loop problem self heals, historical data about detector/loop performance and a log of Alerts, Faults and Errors can be retrieved from the Smart DC Controller by downloading from the RS232 communications port or the USB port. HySecurity's free START software, a laptop computer, and a special download cable or

USB cable are required to retrieve and read this data.

Frequency:

Knowing the exact frequency of a loop can be useful as a diagnostic tool, and verifying the stability of the loop frequency is valuable information. To view the actual loop frequency of a specific vehicle detector, go to the setting for that detector in the Installer Menu, switch the selection from 0 to 1, and press the Select button.

The display will show the loop frequency. The frequency is usually between 20,000 to 80,000 Hertz.

Changing the Loop Frequency:

HY-5A detectors can never crosstalk. If for any reason, you want to manually change the loop frequency, change the Installer Menu option for the desired loop from 0 to 3, and then press the Select button. Each detector has a choice of four frequencies. Press the Select button when the desired frequency setting is found, and the controller will perform a reset and tune to the new frequency setting.

Call Strength Level:

Knowing the call strength of a detector is valuable because it provides information about how well the loop is actually “seeing” a specific vehicle. For example, it may be useful to check to see if the loop is easily detecting the middle of a high bed semi-truck. The strength of a detector call can be displayed in real time, on a scale of

0 to 7. As indicated in the table below, when the Installer Menu setting for a given detector is set to 2, and the

Menu button is pressed, the LCD display will read Level 0 - 7 Call Level. If the call strength on the display appears as a level 4 or less, consider increasing the sensitivity level by adjusting the rotary switch on the HY-5A detector.

Mechanical Maintenance

CAUTION

Before checking the internal mechanisms of the operator, turn off all power switches.

The SlideSmart mechanical maintenance is not in depth or difficult, but should be performed on a routine basis. The operator chassis is zinc plated, but some environments may speed corrosion of this plating.

Schedule regular maintenance and look for the following:

• Verify the drive belt has the proper tension. Check for drive belt wear. Fraying edges or missing teeth

indicate that the drive belt needs to be replaced. Refer to Drive Belt Tension and Alignment

• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are found, reduce the spread of corrosion by treating the areas with a rust inhibitor.

• 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

DC Battery Replacement

and

Clock Battery Replacement .

Software Maintenance

The software on the SDC board is constantly being enhanced with new features that create an easier install and improve the on board diagnostic tools. Be sure to check the HySecurity website for the latest version of software before heading out for field maintenance.

Use S.T.A.R.T. software to download the latest software version to a PC laptop and upload it to the SlideSmart gate operator in the field.

LIMITED WARRANTY

1. Warranty.

Hy-Security Gate, Inc. (“HySecurity”) warrants that at the time of sale each of its products will, in all material respects, conform to its then applicable specification and will be free from defects in material and manufacture. This warranty does not extend to items listed as “accessories” in HySecurity’s price list, when those items carry another manufacturer’s name plate and they are not a part of the base model. HySecurity disclaims all warranties for such accessory components, which carry only the original warranty, if any, of their original manufacturer. HySecurity hereby assigns its rights under such manufacturer warranties—to the extent that such rights are assignable—to

Buyer. The following additional durational warranties apply to HySecurity’s products.

The term of these additional warranties is determined by whether (1) the product is purchased through an authorized HySecurity distributor and (2) whether a timely and complete warranty registration is submitted to HySecurity. It is therefore important that you register your product with HySecurity within the 60 day period described below.

1(a) Warranty Items (Registered Gate Operators Purchased from Authorized Distributors)

For any gate operator product that is purchased from an authorized HySecurity distributor (this excludes product purchased through internet resellers or any distributor not authorized by HySecurity), if the online Warranty registration is completed at www.hysecurity.com/warranty within 60 days of the date of purchase by the dealer/installer and returned to HySecurity within the same 60-day period, the following Warranty terms will apply. HySecurity will warrant that the product will remain serviceable for the following periods: a. Hydraulic Gate Operators: Five Years or 500,000 gate cycles (whichever occurs first) after the date of installation, or b.

Electromechanical Barrier Arm Operators: Two Years or 1,000,000 gate cycles

(whichever occurs first) after the date of installation, or c.

Electromechanical Slide and Swing operators: Five Years after the date of installation—unless installed in a single family residential application, in which case the warranty term shall be Seven Years after the date the product is shipped from HySecurity; provided that the Five Year warranty period will not extend beyond Seven Years from the date that the product was shipped from

HySecurity. This warranty does not apply to the components described below, which have the shorter warranty period indicated: d.

Hydraulic Gate Operator Drive Wheels including XtremeDrive™ wheels and rack:

Two Years from date of installation.

Batteries used in all D.C. operators, inverters or other battery powered devices:

One Year from date of shipment from HySecurity.

f. Items subject to normal wear including, but not limited to, chains, belts, idler wheels, sprockets, fuses and motor brushes: One Year from date of installation.

1(b) Warranty Items (Operators Not Purchased from an

Authorized Distributor or Registered within 60 Days)

For any gate operator product that is not purchased from an authorized HySecurity distributor or for which the online Warranty registration or warranty registration form sent with every HySecurity operator was not filled out completely or not returned to

HySecurity within 60 days of the date of purchase by the dealer/installer, the following

One-Year Warranty will apply to that product: HySecurity warrants that the product will remain serviceable for the following periods, which begin on the date that the product was shipped from HySecurity: a.

All Gate Operators: One Year or 100,000 gate cycles whichever comes first.

Hydraulic Gate Operator Drive Wheels: One Year

1(c) Replacement Parts

HySecurity warrants that replacement parts (whether new or reconditioned) will remain serviceable for One Year from the date that the product was shipped from HySecurity.

1(d) Limitations and Exclusions Applicable to Each of the

Preceding Warranties

The preceding warranties shall not apply to equipment that has been (1) installed or maintained improperly or contrary to instructions; (2) subjected to negligence, accident, vandalism, or damaged by severe weather, wind, flood, fire, or war; or www.hysecurity.com © 2014 800-321-9947

(3) damaged through improper operation, maintenance, storage or abnormal or extraordinary use or abuse. Any modification made to products will void the warranty unless the modifications are approved in writing by HySecurity, in advance of the change (this exclusion does not apply to normal installation of approved accessories and/or protective devices or sensors). It is the responsibility of the distributor, installer, or End User to ensure the software version in the operator is maintained to the latest revision level.

THESE ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES GIVEN BY HYSECURITY

AND ARE IN PLACE OF ALL OTHERS.

These warranties extend to HySecurity’s Distributors, to the Dealer/Installer, and to the End User of the product following installation. They do not extend to subsequent purchasers. Dealer/Installers or End Users may receive a replacement HySecurity

Warranty form by calling HySecurity at 800-321-9947.

2. Exclusion of Other Warranties.

The warranties contained in Section 1 are the exclusive warranties given by HySecurity and supersede any prior, contrary or additional representations, whether oral or written. Any prior or extrinsic representations or agreements are discharged or nullified.

HYSECURITY HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ALL OTHER WARRANTIES—

WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY—INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY

OF MERCHANTABILITY, ANY WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OTHERWISE ARISING FROM

COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

3. Buyer’s Exclusive Remedies for Any Nonconformity.

If a HySecurity product fails to conform to the warranties in Section 1, Buyer must notify and order replacement parts from the Distributor through which the product was purchased within a reasonable time and in no event more than thirty (30) days after the discovery of the nonconformity. HySecurity will investigate and, in the event of a breach, will provide, within a reasonable period of time, one of the following: (1) repair or replacement of any nonconforming products or components or (2) refund of the price upon return of the nonconforming items. Replacement goods will conform to this warranty for the unexpired duration of the warranty period for the original, nonconforming product. HySecurity reserves the right to supply used or reconditioned material for all warranty claims. This warranty does not cover or extend to any incidental expenses, including labor, shipping, travel time or standby time, that are incurred for inspection or replacement of any nonconforming items. As a condition of warranty coverage, warranty claims must be submitted in accordance with the following paragraph.

THE REMEDY SELECTED BY HYSECURITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS

PARAGRAPH SHALL BE THE EXCLUSIVE AND SOLE REMEDY OF BUYER

FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL HYSECURITY BE

OBLIGATED TO INDEMNIFY BUYER FOR ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY.

For warranty coverage, you must follow the procedures described on HySecurity’s form,

“RMA Procedures.” A current version of the form is available from HySecurity.

4. Exclusion of Consequential and Incidental Damages.

IN NO EVENT SHALL HYSECURITY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,

INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER RESULTING FROM

NONDELIVERY OR FROM THE USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE

PRODUCT OR FROM DEFECTS IN THE PRODUCT OR FROM HYSECURITY’S

OWN NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT.

This exclusion applies regardless of whether such damages are sought for breach of warranty, breach of contract, negligence, or strict liability in tort or under any other legal theory. This exclusion does not apply to claims for bodily injury or death.

5. Severability.

If any provision of this warranty is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder shall have full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be partially enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law to effectuate the purpose of the agreement.

6. Applicable Law.

This Warranty will be interpreted, construed, and enforced in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, without reference to its choice of law principles. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to this Warranty.
