Intelligent Features: Smart DC ControllerTM

Introducing SwingSmart DC

Thank you for purchasing our premium SwingSmart DC™ 20 swing gate operator. At HySecurity® Gate, Inc., we pride ourselves on quality and a number of unparalleled user benefits:

Robust - An especially strong twin channel steel chassis and adjustable taper clutch greatly improves the ability for SwingSmart to resist damage from vehicle hits on the gate. The components on the Smart DC Controller are protected by opto-isolators which shield them from power surges and lightning strikes.

Power - A variable speed control board supplies a powerful, continuous 24V DC motor which drives a 600:1 gearbox providing variable speeds. The electronics, motor and gear box are rated to operate in very broad temperatures that range from -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C). SwingSmart DC is rated for gates up to 20 feet long and 1,300 pounds.

Finesse - A variable rate of gate acceleration and deceleration, dependent upon gate weight and length, assures very smooth handling.

Adaptable - The design incorporates left and right gate arms to assure aesthetic functionality. An articulating arm is an available option which also provides adaptability to a variety of site situations.

UPS backup and Solar ready - Two 12V, 8 amp hour (Ah) batteries will provide a fully functional gate operator (up to 300 gate cycles) when AC power is unavailable. Four user-selectable UPS modes are available. 12VDC and 24VDC are available to power access controls. The unit’s design also incorporates space for optional 50Ah batteries to support solar applications or usage during extended power outages.

NTELLIGENT

Automatic adjustment and synchronization of bi-parting gates - The Smart DC Controller automatically adjusts the gate speed to synchronize the left and right gates so that they reach the open and close positions at the same time. Independent leaf delay adjustment for bi-parting gates is selectable in ½ second increments.

Menus and User relays - The Smart DC Controller has 48 menu items to allow installer configuration of gate function and two user relays, which can be configured for 22 different functions.

Independent adjustment for open and close gate speeds - An easy-to-use menu on the Smart DC Controller allows the installer to vary the open and close speed settings in a range between 10 and 15 seconds.

Intelligent Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) - Any impediment to gate travel is sensed by the system, stopping gate movement per UL 325 Safety Standards. The intelligent system monitors gate power then adapts the IES to trip at an adjustable threshold above normal power.

Improved Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) - A 32-character LCD provides increased readability for programming and troubleshooting.

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. S.T.A.R.T. 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 crews, and owners/users must read and follow the manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified installer’s handle the installation of the SwingSmart 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. To pass UL certification, all aspects of gate installation must comply with the appropriate safety standards. 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.

Important Safety Instructions

Safety Standards - Installer's Responsibility

• Study the entire contents of this manual prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the SwingSmart 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

for gate classifications. Install SwingSmart only when the gate operator class is correct for the site, size, and

Revision E Safety Requirements S-1

Important Safety Instructions

NOTE

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

• Make sure there is a separate walk-through entrance 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. Note that swing gates cannot open into public areas. Locate controls (OPEN, STOP, CLOSE) 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 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.

• Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user will have a clear view of the gate. Refer to the

Emergency Stop Button

OPEN terminal.

• 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 technician test the gate monthly.

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

• Remove the operator covers and turn the power off and on.

• Turn the DC power switch off, which disengages the motor.

• Loosen the taper clamp and manually push the gate(s) open & close.

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. Failure to adjust and test the gate operator on a regularly maintained schedule can increase the risk of injury or death.

• 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 S.T.A.R.T. 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.

• Never disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer and NEVER disconnect or cut its wires. The buzzer

provides an alert that the gate is about to move and it must be functional in the event of entrapment regardless of UL 325 gate usage class. 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.

CAUTION

Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal

SwingSmart 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 SwingSmart 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. 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

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

CAUTION

ECONDARY

SwingSmart 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 swinging 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 (40.6cm) from any object, such as a post or wall.

EDGE SENSORS:

gate where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. If the bottom edge of the swing gate is situated more than 6-inches (152 mm) above ground level at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors must be located on the bottom edge, as well.

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors

Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class

The SwingSmart operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the Swing Gate and Vertical Barrier Arm category for gate operators. It’s 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 SwingSmart DC Installation and Refer ence Manual Revision E

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 SwingSmart 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.

SwingSmart 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 SwingSmart 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 S.T.A.R.T. 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 SwingSmart operator develops more gate actuation force than is permitted under the UL 325 Safety Standards and, therefore, its clutch cannot be considered an entrapment protection device.

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 E Safety Requirements S-7

Emergency St op Button

Red Emergency Stop button

MERGENCY

An emergency stop button that is accessible from the outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance with UL325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop button on the SwingSmart operator is located inside a hole cutout on the 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 any 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 to teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the gate manually. SwingSmart allows a gate to be pushed manually when the taper clamp is loosened. It is recommended that you turn off DC power which disengages the motor allowing you to easily move the gate.

When you turn DC power off, the following occurs:

• The motor disengages which keeps it from running should any relay or open/close leaf functions be set.

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 SwingSmartDC 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.

SwingSmartDC incorporates a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) into its design per UL 325 Safety Standards. (More information about adjusting the adapative IES software can be found in this manual under, 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.

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

CAUTION

Using an Existing Pad

In many applications, SwingSmart may be a replacement operator for an existing gate system. Make sure the pad is level and inspect the pad for:

• Compliance with local building codes.

• Appropriate distance from the gate. Refer to Figure 1-3.

• Appropriate dimensions for SwingSmart installation.

• Durability.

To use an existing pad, take the following steps:

1. Remove any existing equipment from the pad.

2. Measure the pad to ensure it is sized properly for SwingSmart.

3. Mark the center shaft location.

4. Follow the steps in

Consider positioning the operator so existing conduit exits through the cutout in the SwingSmart base plate. Cutting small holes in the base plate for pre-existing conduit is permissible, but not recommended because it can impair the strength of the chassis and void the Limited Warra nty.
