Installation and Maintenance Manual
SlideDriver Quick Start
These instructions are provided as a quick reference guide to the experienced installer that is already familiar with
all safety precautions and the installation of this gate operator. Do not attempt to install from this guide if you are
inexperienced with this product.
1. Mount the operator with at least four mounting bolts. The operator must be square and spaced 1¾” away
from the gate.
2. Attach the drive rail to every vertical member of the gate at a height 9 1/4“ above the base of the operator.
Use ¼” roll pins to splice multiple sections of rail.
3. Mount the limit switch trip ramps to the underside of the drive rail at each end. Drill 3/8” holes in a position
that will allow the limit switches to be tripped 6-8” before full travel.
4. Connect the electrical power and grounding wire to the loose wires from the On/Off switch at the left corner
of the control box. Be certain the labeled voltage and phase of the operator matches the available supply.
5. Operators are shipped 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 connection point describing this procedure. Connecting the hose from the
top motor to the left disconnect 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” in height.
7. Turn on the power switch. The Smart Touch LCD display should show, after a 2 second delay, the
characters [uC_0]. This is a setting for the UL user class that must be made before any gate function will
be possible. Press the Select button, then the Next button and change the 0 to be class 1-4 as
appropriate for the site. Press the Select button again to lock the setting.
8. Press the Next button to go to the setting for the gate hand. The LCD display should now show [Sh_0].
The 0 must be replaced by an [Sh L] or [Sh r] before any gate function will be possible.
9. Press the Menu button and the display will jump to the close timer setting [Ct_0]. If a close timer function
is needed, set in the same manner as above. Press the Menu button again to exit to the Run Mode. The
LCD display should now read StoP, but may read oPEn or CloS if any limit switch is tripped.
10. Test the normal operation of the gate. If the hoses are connected incorrectly, the gate will move the wrong
direction. (see step 5). If the gate moves the correct direction, but triggers an Err1 alert, the handing is set
wrong. (see step 8).
11. After normal function 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 Buss on the nearby power supply board.
12. To access the User menu in the Smart Touch Controller, press the Menu button while there is no active
Open or Close input. The display will scroll system values and stop at the [Ct__] close timer setting.
There are 11 menu items in the User Menu. To reach the more detailed Installer menu, the system must
be in the User Menu first, then simultaneously press Open and Reset. The display will go to [uC__] which
is the first of 34 items in the Installer Menu. Read the instructions before attempting any adjustments!

Stopping the Gate
All models 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
When starting very heavy gates beyond one foot per second, it is necessary to
Soft Start the load gently, in addition to stopping 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 and
thereby allows the gate to accelerate over a period of about 2 seconds. This is
much like letting your foot slowly off a car clutch – no lurching when the gate starts.
The downward facing AWOG (shown right) improves the life and performance of a
gate system and never needs adjustment.
NOTE: Operators purchased prior to May 2008 may be equipped with an upward facing AWOG
hose which may periodically require “bleeding” the air pockets from the hose.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Descriptions for Various Models Derived from SlideDriver 10
For Heavy Gates: SlideDriver 40 222 E Models (UL class I, II, III, and IV)
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 heavyduty 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, 50VF3 222 X2, X3 Model (UL class III and IV only)
SlideDriver 50VF operators use a variable frequency drive, larger wheels and a higher flow rate pump to reach
36” per second. These operators are designed for very heavy, up to 5,000 lb. gates moving at very high speed.
The Variable Frequency Drive moves very heavy gates at speeds to up to 36 inches per second (50VF3).
SlideDriver 50VF models close gates to a very precise point and are extremely easy on gate hardware. These
operators use the same powerful Smart Touch controller and simple, reliable HySecurity hydraulics as all
SlideDriver models. Note: SlideDriver 50VF models use Installation and Reference Manual D0125.
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. Type C 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 requiring a very quiet
operator.
SlideDriver S, Solar (-S)
Most SlideDriver operators are available in a DC drive, solar powered version. Call 1-800-321-9947 or visit our
website at www.hysecurity.com for more information.
The Smart Touch Controller
This is the brain of HySecurity’s automatic operators. Groundbreaking technology built sturdy 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 functional requirement for a specific site and comes standard on all HySecurity gate operators. All
system settings are performed with the use of just four programming buttons and an LCD display. The Smart
Touch Controller has no switches to set. An RS232 port for external communication is standard. A real time clock
and an EEPROM record 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 indepth, user-friendly diagnostics.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
READ FIRST!
Important Information – Review before Installation
Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can
produce high levels of force it is important that all gate operator 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 total gate operating system. It is the joint
responsibility of the specifier, designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is
appropriately configured for its intended use. All parties should be informed that entrapment in a moving gate
could cause serious injury or death.

Important Instructions for Gate System Designers & Installers:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions in the gate
operator handbook 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 (1.2 m) height above the ground, to
prevent a sphere 2 ¼ inches (57 mm) 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.
Review and meet all ASTM F-2200 and UL 325 automated gate system
standards.

4 D0119, Rev. F
Installation and Maintenance Manual
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 electrically grounded and the intended supply voltage matches the
voltage label on the operator.
The controls that operate the gate 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 a clear line-of-sight to the gate. Radio controls and other
remote access controls must be connected only to the Remote Open input.
The 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 the 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 figure 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 noncontact sensors may be used, but all must be recognized components under the UL 325 standard.
See pages 31 and 32 for details on the requirements.
If the 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 an automatic closing device of any kind shall not be used.
The automatic operator is labeled as appropriate for both the type and UL usage class of the gate.
Note: Sliding gate operators installed in Class I & II applications must not move the gate faster
than one foot per second.
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 alternate means: Employ the use of a 100dB buzzer, which
sounds at least 3 seconds before the gate moves, and/or functions only by use of a constant
hold type push button control.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Important Information for Gate System Owners & Users
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all
instructions in the gate operator handbook and on the 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 area of the gate. 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 controls that operate the
gate. Keep all remote controls, especially radio transmitters,
away from children.
Teach all users how to turn off the electric power and how to
release and move the gate manually. Use the manual release
only when the gate is not moving.
Test the function of the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse its direction of travel
upon contact with a rigid object, and/or stop upon a sensing a 2
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 test and
replace its battery on a routine basis.
KEEP AUTOMATIC GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Have a professional gate installer
perform routine tests of the entrapment protection sensors, such as photo eyes and gate edges.
Also, make all necessary repairs to the gate hardware to keep the gate running smoothly.
Failure to 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
setting of the pressure relief valve to the lowest setting allowable that reliably operates the gate.
This valve controls the force of the operator, and the sensitivity of the inherent reversing sensor.
Do not physically disable the Warning Buzzer and never disconnect or cut its wires. The
buzzer is required to function in event of entrapment, regardless of UL 325 classification. If
modification of the buzzer function is required, the operational modes for the buzzer (warn before
operate, etc.) can be selected within the Smart Touch menu settings.

Getting Started
• 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 can easily move large gates.
This simple yet durable drive system is one of the unique
features giving our hydraulic operators their reputation for
reliability.
• Accessory Compatibility
HySecurity’s Hydraulic Slide Operators are fully compatible with all standard access control devices and
entrapment protection devices, some of which are listed below.
• Pedestrian Entrapment Protection
Read and understand all the Important Information in Section 1, the Entrapment Protection Schematic on page
4 and the UL requirements on page 3 before beginning the installation. 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.

Installation Preparation Checklist
1. Read all of the instructions, especially the
Important Information in Section 1 at the
beginning of this manual, before you attempt
installation. This section is focused upon
mechanical installation. For electrical setup,
refer to Section 3, on system configuration
and use of the Smart Touch Controller.
2. Check to see that the mounting slab is the
recommended size and ready to have an
operator attached. Also check that electrical
conduits are correctly located to enter the
chassis. HySecurity recommends a slab
reaches below the local frost line and
extends somewhat above grade. See the
footprint plan and elevation view on pages
14 and 15.
3. Make sure the gate rolls smoothly in both

directions, without any binding of the gate
hardware. If the gate is warped or hard to move, stop and fix the gate before attempting to automate.
4. Verify that you have covers for all exposed gate support
Figure B
wheels. These must be installed. Also, look around to
identify all of the potential pinch points and hazardous areas,
and plan the best location for the entrapment protection
devices and warning signs. Remember that you are required
to advise the owner regarding the potential hazards of an
automatic gate and about the function of the entrapment
protection sensors that you have selected and installed.
5. There are 3 steps to a perfect install: location, location, location. One of the most critical adjustments in
installation will be to make sure the operator is located the proper distance from the gate, and that the gate
and operator are as parallel as possible. See Figure C below. Prepare some shims for aligning the drive rail.

Installation
1. Drill four holes for concrete anchors
A paper template can be made by setting the operator on a large sheet of paper and
tracing the outside edges and anchor slots. Place the template or operator on the
slab; making sure that it is parallel to and 1 3/4" from the gate face. Trace the slots,
remove the template, and then scribe the locations for your anchor bolts. Drill holes
for the anchor bolts in the center of at least 2 slots per side so that you will have
some room for adjustment. Install at least four ½" x 6" concrete anchor bolts, using
at least two per side.
2. Line up the operator
Put the operator in position onto the anchor bolts. Verify that the operator is
parallel and 1 3/4" away from the gate. Tighten the anchors securely.
Two part Operators (DC models and 333 modular models)
3.
These two part operators come with a separate enclosure, which
should be mounted between 10 and 100 feet of the operator. We
recommend wall mounting or using two 4” posts, with horizontal
mounting strut to create a support for this enclosure.

4. Bolt the Drive Rail to the Gate Panel
Connect multiple sections of drive rail together with ¼” 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 +
throughout the travel of the gate. When the drive rail has been installed at the correct height, the top surface is 9 ¼”
above the operator base. A label and notch on each side of the operator indicates the correct height.
5. Install Limit Ramps on Underside of Drive Rail
Push the gate to the fully closed position and drill two 3/8” holes
through the drive rail to mount a 12” plastic limit ramp under the
drive rail, in the wheel channel. Locate drive rail so that it will trip the
limit switch approx. 6” 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 1/4 inch. Push the gate fully open and repeat this
procedure with the other limit ramp. See the Drive Rail drawing
S22 on page 16.

6. 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” 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 Use of Manual Release on page 54
7. Electrical Power Connection
This operator is intended for permanent installation, so all
electrical conduits must be properly connected to the control
box. The entry for the primary power is a ½ - ¾” knockout
on the left side of our control box next to the on-off switch.
When this operator was manufactured, it was built to run on
a specific voltage and phase for line power. Make sure you
have compared the line voltage and phase available with the
nameplate on this machine. They must match! Be certain
that the wire size of the branch circuit that will supply the
operator vs. the distance of the run from the main panel is
large enough to avoid excess voltage drop. At a minimum, a
20 amp circuit (protected with a 20 Amp Inverse Time
Breaker) should be provided. Also be sure the operator is
electrically well grounded per NEC Article 250 and local
codes. See pages 61 and 62 for correct wire sizes and
detailed electrical wiring information.
8. Primary Tap of Control Transformer
(not on battery operators)
Check to make sure that the primary tap on the control
transformer matches the line voltage you have connected to
the operator. Measure the line voltage carefully to
distinguish between 208V and 230V branch circuits. A label
on top of the transformer identifies the various voltage taps.
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: AC power is not needed in the gate operator, unless there is an optional heater. A minimum of two
separate conduits must be provided, 2” for the hydraulic hoses and ¾” 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 limit switches. Join the hydraulic
hoses by plugging the quick coupling together according to the hand of the gate. See the on page 59.

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 56 titled “Wiring and Control Configuration for DC Operators"
and Drawing E125 on page 58.

12. Replace the Shipping Plug!
Replace the ½” steel or red plastic shipping plug on the front side of the pump with the black breather cap.
Failure to do so may contribute to premature shaft seal failure.
13. Setup 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.

can function. The “handing” must be set both by
the proper hydraulic hose connection and
electrically. The hose connection for proper
handing is described on a label near the hose
connection point. Also, see the instructions to set
handing on page 18 “Installation Configuration for
Smart Touch Controller.” Handing is viewed by
standing in the middle of the road on the secure
side looking out. A gate which opens to the right is
a right handed gate. A gate which opens to the left
is a left handed gate.

Mechanical and Hydraulic Adjustments
1. Drive Wheel Spring Tension
When the drive wheels are fully clamped on the rail, the red spring should be compressed to 2” in height. Turn
the nut at the bottom of the threaded rod assembly to adjust. Slightly less compression is okay for lighter gates.
(See Figure on page 11)
2. Drive Rail
With wheels unclamped and manually moving the gate, verify that the drive rail does not vary more than 1” up
and down, or ¼” in and out throughout the entire horizontal travel of the gate. Re-alignment is simple if the rail is
mounted with U bolts. To adjust in and out, loosen the U bolts and add or remove shim stock. To adjust up or
down, loosen the U bolts and simply tap the rail with a hammer until the correct height is reached. Adjusting the
rail in or out requires inserting shims between the rail and the gate where necessary.
3. Brake Valves SlideDriver 40 & 30F (222 E & EX 1.7) models only
If your operator is equipped with brake valves, their proper adjustment
is important for smooth operation of the gate. In order for the brake
valves to have time to function, the limit ramp must trigger the limit
switch at least six inches before the point at when you want the gate to
stop. Adjustment of the brake valves, one for each direction of travel,
will determine how quickly the gate actually stops. If adjustment is
needed, loosen the 9/16” lock nut on the top of the brake valve and turn
the adjustment stem, in about ¼ turn increments, with an Allen wrench.
The adjustment works opposite of typical, a counter-clockwise
adjustment will stop the gate more rapidly. If the adjustment is set too
loose, the limit ramps will bang into the drive wheels. If the adjustment
is set too tight, the system pressure will increase, the gate speed may
decrease and the gate will jerk to a stop. Set the brake valves to
achieve a controlled smooth stop, with the limit ramp 1.5” to 3” from the
wheels, then retighten the locking nut to hold the setting.
4. Pressure Relief Valve
The operating pressure limit is factory preset to a level that will
operate most gates well. A gate may require pressure relief
valve adjustment on install. To provide maximum entrapment
protection, do not set the pressure limit higher than necessary
for good operation (see procedure and maximum settings on
page 52). This valve, which governs the maximum system
hydraulic pressure, is located on the backside of the pump,
above the AWOG on SlideDriver 40 and on the same manifold
but facing the operator chassis on other operator models.
Reduce the relief valve setting to the lowest pressure that will
reliably operate the gate. A lower
Open Valve Unloader
Valve
setting reduces the operator’s
maximum force.
5. Open and Unloader Valves
These two valves are solenoid operated. The Open valve is below the motor near
the front of the pump and energizes in order to direct the hydraulic flow to open the
gate. The Unloader valve, which is near the back of the pump energizes at the
beginning of a cycle to allow no load motor starts and at the end of each cycle to
aid in decelerating the gate. No adjustment of these valves is possible or
necessary. Valves are wrapped with black plastic valve coils.

Smart Touch Basics
Read this page if you are unfamiliar with using the Smart Touch Controller.
You must learn to navigate and change menu settings with the Smart Touch Controller before an installation
can be completed or any control settings or function changes can be made.
Until a new operator has been configured, the controls are not functional and the display is locked in
the menu mode until the User Class 1-4, and Left or Right hand use have been selected. See the next
page for instructions on how make these settings.
1. There are five buttons on the membrane switch pad that
provide total operator control. The Open, Close and Stop
buttons serve as a three-button control station, but in Menu
Mode, they become Previous, Next and Select buttons. The
Program Menu button is used to both enter and exit Menu
Mode. The Reset button clears all Errors and Faults and
returns the operator to its normal functioning state.
2. When in a Menu Mode, changes to be made to a Menu setting
are accomplished by pressing the Previous, Next and Select
buttons in the following sequence:
a. Press the Next button to move forward through the list
of available menu items, as shown on pages 22 and
23, or press the Previous button to move back an item.
b. Press the Select button to select a menu item to
change. The menu item will flash to indicate that its
setting is ready to be changed.
c.
Press Next to move forward or Previous to go back through available settings.
d.
When you have located the new setting that you want to use, press the Select button and the
program accepts the change and stops blinking.
e.
The Program Menu button does not allow an Exit to Run while a selection is still blinking. Press
the Select button to confirm the new setting and stop the blinking. Then exit to Run Mode.
f.
Pressing the Next or Previous buttons when the menu item is not blinking moves to the next or
previous menu item.
g. When done, press Program Menu to exit to Run Mode.
3. Once configured, the operator is in the Run Mode. To gain access to the User Menu or the Installer
Menu from the Run mode, follow these steps:
a. Press the Program Menu button and watch the LCD scroll the system data, or press the Program
Menu key a 2

to the Run Mode.
Installation Configuration for Smart Touch Controller
Setting Operator Handing and Usage Class
1. Connect the hydraulic hoses to the quick couplers on the pump in order to configure left or right hand
opening function (as viewed from the secured side of the gate). There is a label near the connection
point describing this procedure. Also see the illustration on page 12. If the hoses are connected
incorrectly, the gate will run backwards (close when open button is activated) and this may trigger an
error [Err 1] on the LCD display. If an error occurs, reverse the hoses to the correct position and press
the Reset button to clear the error.
2. Turn on the power switch and observe that the LCD will first show the software version, and then stop at
a steady display within two seconds. If the display reads [uC 0] go to step 3. If the operator has
previously been configured, the Installer Menu must be accessed in order to reach the system
configuration menu items: See step #3d at the top of this page.
3. When turning on the power for a new machine, the LCD display directly enters the Installer Menu at the
[uC __] menu item, which is for selecting the user class as defined by UL. Select [uC 1] - [uC 2] - [uC
3] or [uC 4] depending upon the use application. See page 31 for UL usage class definitions.
4. To set the operator handing, use the “Next” button and move one click down the menu to item [Sh __]
Enter r for right hand or L for a gate that opens to the left. Never alter the limit switch mounting or
change the order of their connection to the controller board. At this point you should exit the Installer
Menu, by pressing the Program Menu button. The LCD display jumps to the close timer [Ct__] setting in
the User menu, which may now be set. Either press the Program Menu button again to exit to normal
run mode or set the close timer by the same programming sequence described at the previous page.
5. Note that the Installer menu cannot be exited by any means until the selection for UL usage class
[uC __] and the selection for gate handing [Sh __] have been entered.
6. Test for normal function of the gate operator, with the wheels unclamped, by running it both open and
closed from the pushbuttons on the membrane switch pad. Neither limit switch should be triggered at
the start of this test or an alert [ALE6] may trigger because the control did not sense gate motion. If this
occurs a new input will restart the motor.
