AdvanceDrive™ Wheel System: HySecurity has developed a 6-inch

composite drive wheel and improved mounting system that is replacing the cast polyurethane wheels. For more information, refer to the Technical Bulletin on the HySecurity website. Installation Instructions are shipped with the replacement wheels. Plans are in place for 8-inch wheel availability by year end.

XtremeDrive™ Option: The XtremeDrive option for HySecurity SlideDriver operators consists of a cogged lower

wheel that engages a matching cogged rack which is mounted to the underside of the drive rail. This configuration produces better pull force for large, heavy gates and provides better traction the entire length of the drive rail. The XtremeDrive is available in 6-

and 8-inch drive wheel kits that contain installation instructions. The Rack Kit provides one 25-inch rack and the required hardware for installation. A onetime purchase of an Install Kit provides a drill jig, countersink bit, and transfer punch for easy installation.

HySecurity Upgrades

Software: The latest software release for HySecurity operators is now available at

command which eliminates unnecessary field calls. It also provides smoother acceleration and deceleration.

All 50VF2/3 SlideDrivers shipped after January 1, 2012 will have the new ModBus cable and communication protocol installed. If you need replacement parts for your existing 50VF series operators, be sure to have the serial number of the operator available when you order parts.

New SlideDriver configuration as of June 1, 2012: If you install a new 50VF2/3 operator, the speed is factory set at 2 foot per second (2 ft/s). To change the speed, you will need to access the Installer Menu. Refer to Section 3

Smart Touch Basics in the manual.

  sets the 50VF2/3 speed to approximately 2 ft/s.   sets the 50VF2/3 speed to approximately 3 ft/s.   and are not used. (The operator will not run if you change the

speed setting to 0 or 1.)

NOTE: To enable Emergency Fast Operate (EFO), you also need to set the Emergency Close Mode ( = 1). Refer to Section 3 Setting the Emergency Fast Operate. If you set the speed and receive an ERR6,

check the cable & wiring connections between the VFD and STC.

SlideDriver Quick Start

These instructions are provided as a quick reference guide for the experienced installer who is already familiar with all safety precautions and the installation of this gate operator.

CAUTION: Use this QuickStart as a guide and read and follow the information and instructions found in the other sections of this manual. DO NOT attempt to connect this operator to any voltage other than that listed on the nameplate. Be certain the labeled voltage and phase of the operator matches the available supply. For assistance, contact HySecurity Technical Support at 800-321-9947.

Refer to the Technical Drawings on pages 15 - 17 when proceeding through the following steps:

1. Mount the operator with at least four mounting bolts. The operator must be square and spaced 1¾ inches (44mm) away from the gate.

2. Attach the drive rail to every vertical member of the gate at a height 9¼ inches (24cm) above the base of the operator. Use ¼" (6mm) roll pins to splice multiple sections of rail.

3. Mount the limit switch stop ramps to the underside of the drive rail at each end (flat side up, tapered end toward the wheel) in the drive rail slot closest to the operator. Drill ⅜" (9mm) holes in a position that will allow the limit switches to be

tripped 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20cm) before full travel.

4. Connect the electrical power wires to the loose wires from the ON/OFF switch at the left corner of the control box and attach the grounding wire to the green grounding wire. Be certain the labeled voltage and phase of the operator matches the available supply.

5. Operators are shipped hydraulically configured for “right hand” operation. (From the secure side, the gate moves to right on opening). To change the handing, reconnect the hydraulic hoses at the pump in reverse order. There is a label near the hose quick disconnect fittings that describe this procedure. Connecting the hose from the top motor to the left disconnect fitting results in “left hand” operation.

6. With neither limit switch tripped, engage the release mechanism to clamp the wheels to the drive rail and verify that the red spring is compressed to 2 inches (5cm) in height.

7. Turn ON the power switch. The UL usage class [] appears on the Smart Touch Controller display after a two-second delay. The setting for the usage class must be selected before the gate can function. Press the SELECT button, then the NEXT button and select a usage class of 1 through 4 as appropriate for the site. Press the SELECT button again to lock the setting.

8. Press the NEXT button to move to the next menu item and set the gate handing. The characters [] appear on the display. Replace the 0 with [] or [] to set the gate handing by following the same button presses described in step 7.

9. Press the PROGRAM button to exit to Run Mode. One, of a possible three, operator status displays may appear: ,  or  ( or  appears if a limit switch is tripped.)

10. Test the operation of the gate. If the hoses are connected incorrectly, the gate will move the wrong direction. (See step 5.) If the gate moves in the correct direction, but triggers an  alert, the handing is set wrong. (See step 8.)

11. After normal operation has been verified, connect any required accessory device wiring. Note that the control inputs (except Fire Department Open and Emergency Close) are all one wire only to the main terminal strip while the other wire connects to the Common Bus (COM) on the nearby power supply board.

12. To access the User Menu, press the PROGRAM button while there is no active Open or Close input. The operator status displays scroll past and stop at the [] Close Timer menu item. If a Close Timer function is needed, set it in the same manner as above.

NOTE: The Close Timer display is the initial menu in the “User Menu” which contains 12 menu items. Access to the 34 items in the “Installer Menu” is also accessible from the Close Timer display by simultaneously pressing the RESET and OPEN buttons. The Usage Class [] which is the first menu item in the Installer Menu appears. Read the instructions found in this manual before attempting any adjustments!

HySecurity manufactures many hydraulic slide gate operator models to suit the desired gate panel size, weight and speed. This manual should be used for the SlideDriver operators. (The 50VF series has its own manual, D0125). Identify your operator model and note the changes in instructions and final adjustments.

*SlideDriver 50VF models use Installation and Reference Manual D0125. Download it at www.hysecurity.com.

Stopping the Gate

Most models (except SlideDriver 10 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.

This model uses a hydraulic manifold with two adjustable brake valves. The brake valves extend the maximum gate

weight capacity from 1,000 pounds to up to 4,000 pounds. Brake valves are highly recommended for heavy-duty applications.

High Speed: SlideDriver 30F 222 EX 1.7 Models (UL class III and IV only)

The AWOG Soft Starting system and brake valves are keys to safely moving gates faster than one foot per second. These devices, together with our hydraulic drive, create smooth and predictable handling for both small, lightweight to 3,000 lb. gates. The SlideDriver 30F, 30F-C, and 30F UPS models use a higher flow rate pump to achieve a speed of 20 inches per second.

High Speed, Very Heavy: SlideDriver 50VF2, 50VF2-EFO, and 50VF3

UL class III & IV only. These operators are designed for very heavy, up to 5,000 lbs gates moving at high and very high speeds.

The variable frequency drive moves very heavy gates at the following speeds: 26 inches per second, 50VF2

26 inches per second, 50VF2 – EFO (Close in 36in/s with a constantly held CLOSE command.) 36 inches per second, 50VF3

SlideDriver VF models close gates to a very precise point and are extremely easy on gate hardware. SlideDriver VF operators use a variable frequency drive, larger wheels and a higher flow rate pump to reach 26 to 36 inches per second. These operators use the same powerful HySecurity Smart Touch controller and simple and reliable hydraulics of all SlideDriver models.

For Heaviest Gate: SlideDriver 200 (444 XS) The 444 type operators are for the heaviest gates, weighing up to 20,000 lbs. They employ a much larger chassis with four drive wheels and hydraulic motors, and a five horsepower electric motor to generate up to 1200 pounds of draw bar pull.

SlideDriver, DC 24-Volt UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) (UPS) These gate operators function from 24 Volts DC Batteries all of the time to achieve a true UPS system. Our Uninterruptible Power Supply is the most certain way to know that your gate will work when the local AC power fails. This system features fully sealed maintenance free batteries in a separate insulated and ventilated enclosure and provides at least 3,000 feet of backup gate travel.

SlideDriver C, Correctional Facility (-C)

The CF models offer an extra heavy 10-gauge cover with three different locking options. Correctional Facility operators are shipped ready to interface to the many options and interlocks commonly used at correctional facilities, such as gate position outputs, interlock capability for sally ports and an interface relay to control an external solenoid lock.

SlideDriver M, Modular (-M)

This family of operators is a two part modular version of the standard SlideDriver operator. The motor, hydraulic pump and electric controls are located in a separate enclosure, often at a distance from the drive unit. This version allows for a more flexible placement of the operator, which may be required or desirable in some situations involving unique mounting, special security (including blast mitigation) or those areas requiring a very quiet operator.

The Smart Touch Controller

This is the brain of HySecurity operators. Groundbreaking technology combined with sturdy construction to reliably serve in the harshest environments. The Smart Touch Controller can quickly be configured by an installer or user to adapt to nearly any site specific functional requirement. All system settings are performed with the use of four programming buttons and an LCD display. The Smart Touch Controller has no switches to set. An RS232 port for external communication is standard. An EEPROM records date stamped system events. A log of events can be downloaded from the RS232 port to a laptop computer to evaluate abnormal gate system operation. HySecurity HY-5A vehicle detectors set a new industry standard by communicating valuable performance data to the Smart Touch controller, allowing quick and deep, user-friendly diagnostics.

Important Safety Information – Review before Installation

Automatic gate operators provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is important that all automated gate system designers, installers and end users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is only one component of the automated gate system. It is the joint responsibility of the specifier, designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the system is appropriately configured for its intended use. All parties should be informed that entrapment in a moving gate can cause serious injury or death.

Common Industry Symbols

Important Instructions for Gate System Designers & Installers:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions found in the gate operator manual and on the warning labels.

Install an Automatic Gate Operator only when:

 The entry is configured for vehicular use only. Pedestrians must be directed to a

separate walk-through entrance. The WARNING signs that have been supplied with this operator must be installed in a manner clearly visible on both sides of the gate.

 All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened, from the bottom of

the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2m) height above the ground, to prevent a sphere 2¼ inches (57mm) in diameter from passing through an opening anywhere in the gate or the portion of the adjacent fence that is covered in the open position.

 All exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded. To reduce the risk

of entrapment, the gate must also be installed so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structures both when opening and closing. Minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.

 The gate has been constructed with physical stops to prevent over-travel in both

directions and has guard posts that prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.

 You have reviewed and met all ASTM F-2200 and UL 325 automated gate system

standards.

Site, Gate, Equipment and Regulatory Requirements

 The gate moves freely in both directions. Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to

compensate for a stiff gate.

 The operator will be installed on the secured (non-public) side of the gate.  The operator will be properly grounded and the intended supply voltage matches the voltage

label on the operator.

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 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 ground rod, you risk voiding the Limited Warranty.

 The gate operation controls have been mounted far enough away from the moving gate such

that users cannot touch the gate while operating the controls. All easily accessible controls must have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.

 The operator controls will be located in line-of-sight to the gate. Radio controls and other remote

access controls must be connected only to the Remote Open input.

 Required external entrapment sensors will be installed. Be certain to carefully review the

instructions for placement, installation and adjustment of these external entrapment sensors. External entrapment sensors must function to reverse the movement of the gate in both opening and closing directions. If edge (contact) sensors are used, they are to be mounted on the leading and trailing edges of the gate, as well as post mounted on the inside and outside of the gate (See illustration on page 4). If photo eyes or other non-contact sensors are used, they are to be mounted in locations most likely to guard against entrapment. A combination of contact and non-contact sensors may be used, but all must be recognized components under the UL 325 standard. See page 32 for details on the requirements.

 If entrapment protection is provided by a continuous pressure actuation control, a placard

stating “WARNING” – “Moving Gate has the Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start Gate Unless Path is Clear” must be posted. Additionally, no other activation device shall be connected and no automatic closing device, of any kind, shall be used.

 The automatic operator is labeled as appropriate for both the type and UL usage class of the

gate. NOTE: Slide Driver 50VF2, 50VF2-EFO and 50VF3 sliding gate operators must be installed

only for Class III & IV applications. Class I: Intended to serve single to four family residential uses

Class II: Multi-family use, or any application intended to serve the general public Class III: Commercial applications not intended to serve the general public Class IV: Highest security. Security personnel prevent unauthorized access

 Sliding gate operators installed in Class III & IV applications do not have a speed restriction and

the secondary entrapment sensor requirement is met if the system is configured as described for Class I & II use, or by the following alternative means, such as:

 Employing the use of a 100dB buzzer which sounds at least 3 seconds before the gate

moves.

 Employing the use of a constant hold-type push button control.

Section 1 — Important Safety Information — READ FIRST!

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions found in this manual and on warning labels.

Save These Important Owner and User Instructions:

(Installers – be certain to instruct the owners and users about the following items.)

 Automatic gates are for vehicular use only! Provide walkways and

signs to direct pedestrians to a separate walk-through entrance. Because an automatic gate can start at any time without warning, always keep people away from the gate area. The Warning signs that have been supplied with this operator must remain installed, in manner clearly visible on both sides of the gate.

 Never allow children to use or play with the controls that operate the

gate. Keep all remote controls away from children, especially radio transmitters.

 Teach all users how to turn off the electric power source and how to release and move the

gate manually. Use the manual release only when the gate is not moving.

 Test gate operator functionality monthly. The gate MUST reverse direction of travel upon

contact with a rigid object, and/or stop upon a sensing a second sequential activation prior to reaching a full travel limit. Also test for the normal function of any non-contact sensors. If the gate system employs the use of a transmitting edge sensor, be especially certain to routinely test and replace its battery.

 KEEP AUTOMATIC GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a professional gate installer

perform routine entrapment protection sensor tests. This includes photo eyes and gate edges. Repair gate hardware when encountered to keep the gate running smoothly. Failure, to make timely repairs or adjust and test a gate operator properly, can increase the risk of injury or death.

 In addition to appropriately placed external entrapment sensors, ask your installer to reduce

the pressure relief valve setting to the lowest setting allowable that reliably operates the hydraulic gate. This valve controls the force of the operator, and the sensitivity of the inherent reversing sensor.

 Do not attempt to disable or muffle the Warn Before Operate buzzer, except in Class IV

restricted access locations. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to move.

How this hydraulic operator works

HySecurity industrial slide gate operators rotate polyurethane treaded drive wheels which grip a rigid metal drive rail and feed it right or left during the gate travel. The drive wheels are clamped above and below the drive rail and are directly coupled to powerful hydraulic motors, which easily move large gates. This simple yet durable drive system is one of the unique features giving our hydraulic operators their reputation for reliability.

Pedestrian Entrapment Protection

Before installing the gate operator, read and understand all the important information in Section 1. Be absolutely certain that the required type and quantity of entrapment protection devices have been supplied and that you understand how to install them correctly. Contact your local distributor with questions about entrapment protection.

Accessory Compatibility

HySecurity hydraulic slide gate operators are fully compatible with all standard access control devices and entrapment protection devices, some of which are listed below.

1. Read all instructions, especially the Important Information in Section 1 at the beginning of this manual, before you install the operator. This section is focused on mechanical installation. For electrical setup and use of the Smart Touch Controller, refer to Section 3.

2. Make sure the concrete pad is the recommended size and ready for operator attachment. Also, check that electrical conduits are correctly located and in proper alignment with the chassis. HySecurity recommends that the concrete pad reaches below the local frost line and extends somewhat above grade. See the footprint plan and elevation view on pages 15 and 16.

3. Make sure the gate rolls smoothly in both directions without any gate hardware binding. If the gate is warped or hard to move, stop and fix the gate before attempting to automate it.

4. Verify that you have covers for all exposed gate support wheels. These must be installed. Also, look around to identify all potential pinch points and hazardous areas and plan the best location for entrapment protection devices and warning signs. Remember you are required to advise the owner regarding potential hazards and to discuss the use of the entrapment protection sensors that you have selected and installed.

5. There are three steps to a perfect install: location, location, location.

One of the most critical installation aspects is to make sure the operator is positioned the proper distance

from the gate and the gate and operator are as parallel as possible. See Figure C below. Prepare shims to align the drive rail.

NOTE: If necessary, shim the drive rail so that it is straight ( ¼ inch) throughout the gated travel distance.

Section 2 — Installation

1. Drill four holes for concrete anchors

When you have removed the operator from its shipping container, cut out the template found on the box. Use it to trace the outside edges and anchor slots. Place the template on the concrete pad; making sure that it is parallel to and 1¾-inches from the gate. Trace the slots, remove the template, and then scribe the locations for anchor bolts. Drill holes for the anchor bolts in the center of the slots you marked so that you will have some room for adjustments. Install at least four ½-inch x 4-inch concrete anchor bolts (two bolts per side).

2. Line up the operator

Put the operator in position onto the anchor bolts. Verify that the operator is parallel (within ⅛-inch) and measure the distance between the operator and the gate. It should be 1¾-inch away from the gate on both the left and right sides. Refer to Figure A on page 9. Tighten the anchors securely.

3. Bolt the Drive Rail to the Gate Panel

Connect multiple sections of drive rail together with ¼-inch roll pins for a perfect splice. The drive rail must be bolted to each vertical member of the gate panel. This may be done with U-bolt clamps or through bolts. However, U-bolt clamps allow for easy up/down adjustment. If the gate is bent or warped, shim the drive rail so that it is straight + ¼inch throughout the travel of the gate. When the drive rail has been installed at the correct height, the top surface is 9¼-inches above the operator base. A label and notch on each side of the operator indicates the correct height. See Figure B on page 9.

Once the gate rail is straight, verify the alignment of the wheels to the rail. Place a straightedge (≥24-inch) across the face of the upper wheel, through the rail slot in the face of the operator. The straightedge should be in line with the rail and touching the aluminum rim of the wheel on across the face. The straightedge and rail should be parallel within ⅛-inch over 24-inch. If not, loosen the chassis mounting bolts and rotate the chassis until the straightedge and rail are parallel then retighten the chassis bolts.

Section 2 — Installation

4. Install Limit Ramps on Underside of Drive Rail

 Push the gate to the fully closed position and drill two

⅜-inch holes through the drive rail to mount a 12-inch plastic limit ramp under the drive rail.

 Locate drive rail so that it will trip the limit switch

approximately 6-inches before the exact spot you want the gate to stop.

 Adjust the ramp left or right to achieve exact stopping point.  Fully secure by tightening both bolts.  Adjust the lever arms on the limit switch so that the roller

clears the underside of the drive rail by at least ¼-inch.

 Push the gate fully open and repeat this procedure with the

other limit ramp.

 Refer to the drive rail drawing S22 on page 17.

5. Clamp the Drive Wheels to the Drive Rail

When the wheels are fully clamped on the drive rail, the red spring should be compressed to 2-inch in height. If adjustment is necessary, turn the nut at the bottom of the threaded rod assembly. Slightly less compression is okay for lighter gates. See Section 8 — Use and Adjustment of the Manual Release Mechanism on page 54.

6. Grounding

Make sure that the ground rod installation meets NEC, NFPA 780 and local building standards and codes. Attach a large earth ground wire (6AWG) from the grounding rod to the ground lug on the chassis. Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate operator performance and the life of its electrical components. Use sufficient wire size during installation.

7. Electrical Power Connection

This operator is intended for permanent installation. All electrical conduits must be properly connected to the control box. The entry for the primary power is a ½ - ¾-inch knockout on the left side of the control box next to the power switch. The operator is built to run on a specific voltage and phase. Make sure you have compared the available line voltage and phase with the voltage and phase listed on the nameplate on the machine. They must match! Be certain that the branch circuit wire size versus the distance of the run from the main panel is large enough to avoid excess voltage drop. At a minimum, a 20A circuit (protected with a 20A Inverse Time Breaker) should be provided. Also be sure the operator is electrically grounded per NEC Article 250 and local codes. See page 62 for correct wire sizes and detailed electrical wiring information.

8. Primary Tap of Control Transformer

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 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.

9. Electrical Power for Two Part 333-type operators

The primary AC power must be routed to the controller enclosure with the pump, but there must also be conduits between the gate operator and the controller enclosure.

NOTE: A minimum of two separate conduits must be provided, 2-inch for the hydraulic hoses and ¾-inch for the electrical interconnections. Unless there are accessories in the gate operator, the only electrical interconnection between the two enclosures will be three wires between the two terminal strips for the limits switches. AC Power is not needed in the gate operator, unless there is an optional heater. Join the hydraulic hoses by plugging the quick coupling together according to the hand of the gate. See the technical drawing on pages 59 and 60.

10. Connections for Two Part Battery Operators

The primary AC power must be routed to the DC power supply enclosure, but there must also be at least one 2” conduit 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 gauge wires to supply the motor and two 14-gauge 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 or this is a SlideDriver

30F (222 EX 1.7) – 1.7ft/sec model. Also see page 55 titled “Important: DC Powered Gate Operators" and Drawing E125.

11. Check the operator “Hand”

All slide operators must have their “handing” set

before they can function. The “handing” must be

set both by the proper hydraulic hose connection and by programming the Smart Touch Controller. The proper handing hose connection is described on a label near the hose connection point. Also, see the instructions to set handing on page 19. Operators are shipped configured for right hand operation. Handing is viewed by standing on the secure side looking out. A gate which opens to the right is a right-handed gate.

12. Replace the Shipping Plug!

Replace the red plastic shipping plug on the front side of the pump with the black breather cap.

13. Setup 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 external controls until you have reviewed Smart Touch Controller instructions and tested operator basic functions.
