Installer's Check List

Intro-6 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

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

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

AFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 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.

Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class

Revision D Safety Requirements S-1

Important Safety Instructions

NOTE

→

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

• 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.

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

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

S-2 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING

CAUTION

Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility

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.

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.

Revision D Safety Requirements S-3

Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION

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.

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

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.

Hazardous Waste Regulations

S-4 SlideSmart DC Installation and Reference Manual Revision D

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

CAUTION

ECONDARY

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.

NTRAPMENT

ROTECTION

ENSORS

PHOTOELECTRIC EYES:

obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate.

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:

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 III

Class IV

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: 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: 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

NOTE

CAUTION

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.

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 Primary Type Device Secondary Type Device

Class I, II, III A B1, B2, C, or D

Class IV A 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.

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 St op Button

NOTE

Red

Emergency Stop

MERGENCY

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.

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.

TOP

UTTON

MERGENCY

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. (

AC power off to manually push the gate.

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:

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.

) See NOTE.

1. Make sure the gate is not moving.

2. Flip the DC power switch on.

3. Clear any faults by pressing STOP or RESET.

You DO NOT need to turn

Wind Load Factors & Site Prep

CAUTION

IND

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.

OAD

ACTORS

& S

ITE

REP

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.

Pad Condition

1. Follow the local building codes to identify the frost line and determine the required depth of the concrete pad. HySecurity recommends a minimum 16-inch depth with a minimum 2-inch extension above ground level. Refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3.

2. Before pouring the pad, consider conduit placement so it fits within the confines of the 6.9 x 12-inch cutout in the SlideSmart base as shown in Figure 1-2. Run separate conduits for:

• high voltage wiring (115-230V

supply power) including equipment ground

• low voltage wiring (12V and 24V

accessory power)

• vehicle loop control wiring

• master/slave connections

•earth ground (NEC/NFPA)

3. Extend conduit height 2-inches (5cm) above the pad (4-inches (9cm) above ground level). Make sure the concrete forms are square with the gate and the pad is level. The operator footprint, with covers, is approximately an 18-inch square (4.7cm). See Figure 1-2 for the minimum pad dimensions.

1. Secure the gate to prevent movement.

2. Measure for proper chain alignment BEFORE welding the brackets to the gate. Make sure the chain will run horizontal to the ground and parallel with the gate.

3. Weld the chain bracket in two places: leading edge and trailing edge. You may need to cut the length of the bracket to achieve proper chain alignment. Gusset plates are provided and can be welded to the bracket for added support.

4. Attach the eye bolts to the brackets, and then attach the connector link between the chain and eye bolt.

5. Feed the chain around the idler wheels and over the sprocket (See Figure 1-12) and attach the chain to the bracket on the opposite end of the gate. Make sure the chain is horizontal to the ground and parallel to the gate.

6. Adjust the nuts on the eye bolt to tighten the chain (minimize sag, but avoid overtightening). Chain sag should not exceed 3 inches (76mm) from its anchor point.
