Installation and Maintenance Manual
Available Models and Features
Hy-Security manufacturers eighteen different models of hydraulic slide gate operators to suit the
size, weight and desired speed of the gate panel. All of the operator models are derived from the
standard 222 SS, upon which this manual is designed. Take a moment to identify the operator
model you have and note there are some changes in the instructions, especially in regards to final
adjustments. The following chart shows the differences at a glance:
2 drivefor heavygatesfor very heavy
wheelsgates2 foot/secgates
Stopping the Gate
All models employ a time delay Soft Stop system. Additionally,
optional brake valves (shown at right) are used to control the
stopping of heavy or fast moving gates. These valves are exclusive to Hy-Security operators. They are independently adjustable
to allow the gate to stop predictably and without banging.
Starting the Gate
When starting very heavy gates to accelerate faster than one foot
per second, it is necessary to Soft Start the load gently, in addition
to stopping it smoothly. Hy-Security accomplishes Soft Start with
another exclusive feature we call an 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
AWOG definitely improves the life and performance of a gate
system and never needs adjustment.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Available Models and Features
Operators for Heavy Gates: E Models
Models 222 E, 333 E, 222 CE and 222 DE differ from the base model only by the addition of a
hydraulic manifold with two adjustable brake valves, shown on the previous page. The brake valves
extend the maximum weight capacity from 1,000 pounds to up to a 4,000-pound gate. Brake valves
are highly recommended for heavy-duty applications.
High Speed Operators: EX Modes (UL class III and IV only)
The AWOG soft starting system and the brake valves are keys to smoothly moving gates faster than
one foot per second. These devices, together with our hydraulic drive, create smooth and predictable handling for both small lightweight or large heavy gates. The 222 EX, CX, and DX models also
employ larger drive wheels and a higher flow rate pump to achieve a speed of 2.0 feet per second.
DC 24-Volt UPS (Un-interruptible Power Supply) Operators
These gate operators function from 24 Volts DC Batteries all of the time to achieve a true UPS
system. Our Un-interruptible 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. A two-battery version provides at least 3,000 feet of
backup gate travel. A four-battery version provides at least 8,000 feet of backup travel during local
power loss.
“CF” Correctional Facility Operators
The CF models offer an extra heavy 10-gage cover with three different locking options. Type CF
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.
333 Modular Operators
The family of 333 type operators is a two part modular version of the standard 222 operator. The
motor, hydraulic pump and electric controls are located in a separate enclosure 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 or those wanting a very quiet operator. (When the hydraulic controller is mounted at a distance)
444 Super Powerful Operators
The 444 type operators are for heavier 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.
The Smart Touch Controller
This is the brain of Hy-Security’s automatic operators. Truly high technology, but also very rugged to
reliably serve in the harshest environments. The Smart Touch Controller can quickly be configured
by an installer or user to adapt to about any functional requirement for a specific site. All system
settings are performed with the use of just four programming buttons and an LCD display. The
Smart Touch Controller has no switches of any type to set. An RS232 port for external communication is standard. A real time clock and an EEPROM record system events. With optional software, a
log of events can be downloaded from the RS232 port. Vehicle detector modules will set a new
industry standard by communicating a host of valuable performance data to the main Smart Touch
controller via a serial data stream, allowing user-friendly diagnostics.

READ THIS 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 manner clearly
visible, in the area of 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 1/4 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.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Install An Automatic Sliding Gate Operator Only When:
•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 edge, trailing edge 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
non-contact 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.” 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, in the area of 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 2nd 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 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 attempt 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.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Getting Started with an Automated Gate System
• How our hydraulic operator works
Hy-Security 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 huge gates.
This simple yet durable drive system is one of the
unique features giving our hydraulic operators their
reputation for reliability.
• Accessory Compatibility
Hy-Security’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 31 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
safety mesh to prevent
reach-through
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. Hy-Security recommends a slab
reaches below the local frost line and extends somewhat above grade. See the footprint plan and elevation
view on pages 14 & 15.

4. Verify that you have covers for all exposed gate support
wheels. These must be installed. Also, look around to
identify all of the potential pinch points and hazardous areas,
Figure B
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 inst all: 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
Each operator comes with a paper template with the anchor
slots. Place the template on the slab; making sure that it is
parallel to and 1 3/4" from the gate. 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 the slots you
marked, so that you will have some room for adjustment. There
are six mounting slots in the chassis, install at least four 1/2 “ x
4” concrete anchor bolts, using 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 on both the left
and right sides, and then tighten the anchors securely.

should be mounted within 10 feet of the operator, but not more
than 100 feet. 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 1/4" 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 ± 1/4" throughout the travel of the gate. When the
drive rail has been installed at the correct height, the top surface is 9 3/4" above the operator base.
A label 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 a 3/8" hole in
through the drive rail to mount a 12" plastic limit ramp under the
drive rail, in the wheel channel, at a location that will trip the
limit switch approx. 6" before the exact spot you want the gate
to stop. 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. Install Grip Tape to Underside of Drive Rail
Two pieces of grip tape have been provided that should be installed on the underside of the drive
rail. Place the tape on the first and last 2 ft. of travel, just in front of each limit ramp. Be certain the
drive rail is clean and dry, and then peel off just a bit of the backing to expose only about 2" of the
adhesive. Attach the tape to the underside of the drive rail, within 1" of the front of the limit ramp.
Now that the tape is lined up, peel the remainder of the backing away and attach the full length of
the tape. Repeat this procedure for the other end of the drive rail.
7. 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
8. 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 1/2 - 3/4"
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. Also be sure the operator
is electrically well grounded. See the Appendix, page 63 for
correct wire sizes and detailed electrical wiring information.
9. 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.

10. 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 3/4" 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 drawing in Section 8, page 60.
11
Installation and Maintenance Manual
Installation
11. 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 a 1" 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 gage wires to supply
the motor and two 14-gage circuits for the controls. The heavy gage wire must be at least 6-gage if
the DC supply is within 20 feet of the operator, but must be increased to 2-gage if the DC supply is
located farther from the operator, or the this is an EX - 2'/sec model. Also see page 56 titled “Wiring and Control Configuration for DC Operators” and Drawing E125 in Section 8, page 58.
12. Check the “Hand” of the Operator
All slide operators must have their “hand” set
before they 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 inside looking out.

13. Replace the Blue Plug!
Replace the blue plastic shipping plug on the front side of the pump with the black breather cap.
14. 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 the external controls until you have reviewed the Smart Touch Controller instructions and tested the basic functions.
Note: Hy-Security has an installation CD available free of charge to installers. Call a Hy-Security

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. If adjustment is necessary, turn the nut at the bottom of the threaded rod assembly. Slightly
less compression is okay for lighter gates. (See Figure on page 11, and full details on page 54).
2. Drive Rail
Verify that the drive rail does not vary more than 1" up and down, or 1/4" 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 (suffix E, EX 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 1/4 turn increments, with an Allen wrench. The adjustment works opposite
of typical, such that 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 valve to achieve a controlled smooth stop, and then
retighten the locking nut to hold the setting.
4. Pressure Relief Valve
This valve, which governs the maximum system hydraulic pressure available, is located on the
backside of the pump, just above the limit switch. Installers are encouraged to reduce the relief
valve setting to the lowest pressure that will reliably operate the gate. A lower setting reduces the
maximum force that the gate operator can exert. If adjustment is needed, loosen the 9/16" lock nut
and turn the adjustment stem with a wrench. Lower pressure (force) is achieved by turning the
adjuster stem counter-clockwise. The only way to display the actual relief valve setting is to unplug
the hydraulic hoses from the quick disconnect fittings. Be certain to retighten the locking nut to
hold the desired setting and reconnect the hoses correctly. Also see the drawing in Section 7, page
52 for the location and a schedule of factory pressure relief settings.
5. Directional and Quick Stop Valves
These two valves are solenoid operated. The directional 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 quick stop 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 ever needed.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Basics of Using the Smart Touch Controller System
Read this page if you are unfamiliar with using the Smart Touch Controller.
You must learn to navigate and change menu settings within 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
control of everything. The Open, Close and S top buttons serve as a
three-button control station, but in the Menu Mode, they become Previous, Next and Select buttons. The Program Menu button is used to
both enter and exit the Menu Mode. The Reset button clears all Errors
and Faults that may occur and returns the control 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 menu
items that are available, as shown on pages 22 and 23, or press
the Previous button to move back to an item that you recently passed.
b. Press the Select button if you wish to make a setting change to a menu item. 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 to an earlier setting choice.
d. When you have located the setting that you want to use, press the Select button and the pro-
gram will accept the change and stop blinking.
e. The Program Menu button does not allow an exit to Run Mode while a selection is still blinking.
Press the Select button to stop the blinking, then you may exit to Run Mode.
f. Pressing the Next or Previous buttons when the menu item is not blinking will move to the next or
previous menu item.
g. When done, press Program Menu to exit to the Run Mode.
3. Once configured, the operator will be in the Run Mode. From the Run Mode, to gain access the
User Menu or the Installer Menu, follow these steps:
a. Note that the Program Menu button will not function unless the gate is at rest and no open or
close inputs are active. V erify system status by pressing the LED button to disclose any active
inputs. There also must not be any Alert s, Fault s or Errors. Press the Reset button to clear the
system if necessary .

Installation and Maintenance Manual
b. Press the Program Menu button and watch the LCD scroll the system data, or press the Pro-
gram Menu key a 2nd time to skip the scroll. The scrolled data displays the information in the
table on page 22.
c. The LCD display scroll will stop at the menu item for the automatic close timer setting [Ct __].
This is the first item in the User Menu.
d. To access the more detailed Installer Menu, the system must first be in the User Menu, and then
simultaneously press the Reset button and the Open button. The LCD will change to display the
UL usage class menu item [uC __] This is the first item in the Inst aller Menu.
4. Pressing the Program Menu button when the User or Installer Menu is not blinking will return the
system 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 p age 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. (The Reset button must be pushed if this happens).
2. Turn on the power switch and observe that the LCD will first show the sof tware 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 Section 4, page on 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 .
