The Smart Touch Controller (Standard)
This is the brain of the all Hy-Security’s automatic operators. Truly high technology, but is also very
rugged to reliably serve in the harsh environments that exist in the real world. The Smart Touch Controller
is also very smart and can quickly be configured by an installer or user to adapt to about any functional
requirement of 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 is for external communication is standard. The system also has a real time clock and an EEPROM to
record system events. The log of events can be downloaded from the RS232 port with a PC computer or a
PDA with the Palm OS. Our optional vehicle detector modules set a new industry standard by
communicating a host of valuable performance data to the microprocessor in the Smart Touch Controller
via a serial data stream, allowing user-friendly diagnostics.
DC 24-Volt UPS Operators (Optional Version)
These gate operators function from 24 Volts DC 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 AC
power fails. This system features fully sealed maintenance free batteries in a separate insulated and
ventilated enclosure.

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:
YThe entry is configured for vehicular use only. Pedestrians must be directed to a
separate walk-through entrance.
YThe 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.
YAll exposed pinch points, 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.
YThe 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.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Install An Automatic Swing Gate Operator Only When:
YThe gate moves freely in both directions. Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief
valve to compensate for a stiff moving gate.
Y The operator will not swing the gate into a public access area.
Y The operator will be properly electrically grounded and the intended supply voltage matches
the voltage label on the operator.
YThe 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.
YThe 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 located on the inside and outside leading edge of the swing gate and along the bottom
edge of a swing gate that is greater than 6” above the ground. If photo eyes or other noncontact 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 32 and 33 for details on
the requirements.
YIf the Entrapment protection is provided by a continuous pressure actuation control, a
placard must be installed next to the control station 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.
YThe automatic operator is labeled as appropriate for both the type and UL usage class of
the gate.
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

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)
YAutomatic 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.
YThe Warning signs that have been supplied with this operator must remain installed, in a
manner clearly visible, in the area of both sides of the gate.
YNever allow children to use or play with controls that operate the gate. Keep all remote
controls, especially radio transmitters, away from children.
YTeach 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.
YTest 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
activation prior to reaching a full travel limit. Also test for the normal function of any noncontact 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.
YKEEP 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.
YIn 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.
YDo not attempt to disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer, except in Class IV
restricted access locations. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to
move.

Scope and Planning of Swing Gate Installations
Putting it all together: sample plans
The type and location of sensors needed for proper swing gate operation depends primarily on whether
the gate opens perpendicular to a wall (Fig. C) or opens to an open space (Fig. D)
Fig. C A swing gate that opens parallel to a wall or building.
This figure illustrates a sample plan for a gate, incorporating the elements described below.
1. The swing gate operator automates the gate. May be ordered for left hand or right hand as shown.
2. The weather resistant NEMA 3R controller box houses the Smart Touch control and hydraulic pump.
3. An entrance control opens the gate for entry.
4. Shadow loop prevents the gate from closing on a car. This loop is active only when the gate is open.
5. Obstruction loops (Located inside and outside the swing arc of the gate)
6. Optional free exit loop
7. Photo eyes stop the gate to help prevent vehicular or personal entrapment.
8. Safety mesh on the gate panel prevents reaching through the gate panel.
9. Warning signs alert users to the danger of entrapment when using automatic gate operators.
10. Sensing edges on the bottom of the gate and inside and the outside leading edge of the gate panel
send a signal to operator to stop and reverse when an obstruction is encountered.
11. The physical clearances must be configured to stop the gate panel 16 inches away from the wall to
protect someone from being crushed.
12. A warning buzzer sounds an alert when an obstruction is sensed and can warn before gate motion.

Installation Preparation Checklist
1. Read all of the instructions, especially the
Important Information at the beginning of this
manual, before you attempt installation. This
section is focused upon mechanical installation.
For electrical setup, skip to the section on
system configuration and use of the Smart
Touch Controller.
2. Check to see that the mounting slab is
the right size and ready to have an
operator attached. Also check that
electrical conduits are correctly located
to enter the operator base. Hy-Security
recommends the slab reaches below the
local frost line and is poured together
with supporting post or pilaster.
NOTE: The backing post/column, (provided by
others) must accommodate all of the "tip
over" loads imposed by the gate panel.
Installation Process Overview
• Mount the control box and connect all
conduit fittings.
• Mount the operator post.
• Install all accessories such as: vehicle
sensing loops, access control devices,
gate edge sensors or photo eyes.
• Pull all wires and hoses into conduits.
Note: HRG 220 comes with up to 40’ of
hose for the HRG 222 with up to 100’ of
hose, however, you must advise the
factory on the accurate amount of hose
desired or it will not be shipped with the
operator.
• Test the basic operator functions.
• Mount the gate panel and make fine
adjustments.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Field Hose Measurements for HRG Operators
Note: HRG operators are usually shipped without the hoses needed to complete the system.
Hy-Security will make these hoses in custom lengths as required, attach the quick disconnect fittings and
pre-charge the hoses with hydraulic fluid. The use of pre-charged hoses is important to avoid the
introduction of air into the system.
When field measuring for the necessary hose length to order, the following may be helpful:
1. There is little room in the base of the HRG operator post and limited room in the control/power panel,
therefore, your field measurements must be very accurate when calculating the length of the
necessary hydraulic hoses. If your dimensions are too little, you will not reach the connections, if
your measurements are too long, you will have trouble finding space for the excess hose.
2. Remember that two hoses are needed for each cylinder. This means that you need four hoses when
you are installing a HRG 222 (pair) operator.
1) Be sure to measure accurately the following distances: (the best way is to pull a cord through the
conduit, mark it, and then measure it.)
a) The bottom of the pump/control panel to the bottom of the trench, plus 24”
b) The total distance across the trench.
c) The distance back up to the bottom of the operator, plus 6”
1) The part number for the hoses is:
1/4" hose for HRG: HSFHO 004 SW
The HRG 220 includes up to 40’ total length for the two hoses required.
The HRG 222 includes up to 100’ total length for the four hoses required.
For assistance call your distributor.

Detailed Installation Instructions for HRG Swing Gate Operator
1) Mount control box and connect all conduit fittings.
a) Mount controller box within 100’ of the gate operator, preferably within 20’. If installing the DC
version of the operator, mount the battery power supply very near the controller enclosure
because of the high current demand by the DC motor – See the Two Part operator section.
b) Attach all electrical conduits as required, note the diagram below and see step number 3.
2) Mount operator post
a) Using 5/8" – 3/4” anchor bolts, mount the 12”
square operator base with 1” clearance between
the base and the backing post or wall. The gap
between the operator post and the backing post
will be 3 1/2”. It is important that the finished
installation be plumb and true. Use shims if
necessary to level the operator base.
b) Attach the top of the operator to the backing post
or supporting wall, using the bracket provided.
The attaching bracket "sleeves" inside the top of
the operator post. Note! The backing
post/column, (provided by others) must
accommodate all of the "tip over" loads
imposed by the gate panel.
15
Page 22
Installation and Maintenance Manual
3) Typical conduits required at the control panel
a) High voltage wires: (120, 208, 240) single
phase or (208, 240, 480) three phase
Note: 120 VAC not available on 2HP models
b) 2” conduit to the hydraulic post(s) for hoses.
c) 3/4” conduit to the post(s) for limit switches.
d) Access control wires (Keypads, telephone
entry systems or any access control devices)
e) Loop wires for vehicle detectors
f) Other accessories such as warning lights etc.
4) Mount or install all control wiring such as
loops, access control, and entrapment
protection sensors. See detailed instructions
5) Pull and connect all wires and hydraulic hoses
a) Pull four wires, 18 gage minimum, for the limit switches from control panel to
junction area in the base of the operator post(s). This may be either by
underground conduit or by a seal-tight conduit into the side of the base.
b) Remove the lower cover (at 2’ height) on the post(s) to expose the limit
switches and connect the limit switch wires. The open limit switch is on the
left and lower than the close limit. Connect these wires to the control box at
the five pole terminal strip marked open limit and close limit.
c) HRG operators normally do not ship with the hydraulic hoses included, until
Access panel at
operator base
the exact length is specified by the installer. See page 14 and verify the
correct length before ordering.
d) For protection, tape the ends and pull the hoses through the 2" conduit from
each post to the controller box. Connect the hoses to the couplings, being
certain to match the color coded ends. Also be certain that the connectors
are firmly snapped together.
e) Remove the blue plastic shipping plug on the pump and replace it with the
vent cap that is provided.
f) Connect the electrical power wiring to the loose wires from the On/Off
switch and a grounding wire to the lower left corner of the electrical panel.
limit switches
Be certain to the labeled voltage and phase of the operator matches the
available supply. Also be certain to oversize the branch circuit wires to allow for voltage drop,
especially for single-phase machines. See the wire size schedules in the appendix. Machines to
operate on high voltages (above 120 VAC) do not need a neutral wire.
g) Verify that the primary tap of the control transformer is connected to match the supplied voltage.
It is especially important to distinguish between 208 and 230 volt supplies. The various voltage
taps are identified by a label on the transformer.
6) Test and Adjust the Operator (See Smart Touch Setup First)
a) Test basic functions of the operator first, before connecting any external control wiring. If your
operator is equipped with vehicle detectors, be certain that they are connected to a loop or
unplugged so that they do not cause interference with the function of the machine. If the motor
turns, but nothing moves, reverse two poles of a three phase power source. Also check that the
by-pass valve is closed. Push in the round black knob that is located on the right side of the pump
manifold. Also be certain that the hose quick connectors are firmly engaged.
b) After testing the basic functions, add accessories and external control wiring. Fully test the
operator functions again.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Mounting the Gate Panel, Index Arm, and Lock Pin Assembly
1) Mount the gate panel with at least six 3/8” bolts (not provided) through both sides of the 11” hinge.
Be certain to provide the correct clearance between the gate and the road surface. Allow 3”
clearance at the far end of the gate panel. See drawings for gate panel clearance dimensions.
2) Clamp the index arm mounting bracket near the bottom of a vertical member of the gate. The best
attachment point is at the one-third to one-half of the gate length from the gate hinge.
3) Cut the index arm to the correct length and drill a 1/2” hole through the 2 x 2 tube where it will attach
to the swing gate post. Connect the threaded rod end of the Index arm to the mounting bracket on
the gate panel and bolt the cut end of the index arm between the tabs on the operator post assembly.
4) Mount the locking pin mechanism on the lower corner of the free end of the gate panel in such a
position that the pin penetrates 2" into a lock receptacle when the gate is fully closed.
5) Bury the receptacle tube in the roadway to act as a
socket for the locking pin. If the assembly provided by
Hy-Security is not used, the tube should have an
angular cut on the tip and project about two inches
above the grade to act as a "catch" for the locking pin.
Use a 3-1/2" x 1-1/2” tube of appropriate length for this
purpose. Use blacktop or grout to create a mound
around the exposed tube, so passing vehicles encounter
a smooth bump.
17
Page 24
Installation and Maintenance Manual
6) Adjust the threaded end of the index arm to place the free end of the gate in an exact position for the
locking pin to strike and slide down into the receptacle as the gate closes. The most reliable index
arm adjustment will allow the gate to swing slightly past center so that the lock pin strikes the back of
the receptacle. Tighten all parts of the index arm assembly firmly for trouble free operation.
Lock Pin Assembly
NOTICE: If the locking pin mechanism is not used, security of
this system is adversely affected and the operator drive shaft
may be exposed to high stresses by wind loading or vandals. If
the lock pin receptacle is not built or installed to create a strike
stop for the gate, the lock pin may not always align with the
receptacle.
Adjustment of the Flow Control Regulating Valve
HRG Swing gate operators employ the use of a flow control
valve to control the closing speed of the gate. The flow
control valve is the small rectangular brass device with the
knurled adjusting knob, located just above the red quickdisconnect fitting for the hydraulic hose.
To adjust the close flow control valve correctly, pre-set the
valve set such that only two of the color bands (red & blue)
below the adjusting knob are exposed. Run the gate in the
close direction and turn the flow control valve clockwise until
you have achieved a good control of the gate in the closed
direction. The most crucial part of the closing of the swing
gate is when the lock pin strikes its receptacle. The flow control valve adjustment is most helpful for
maintaining control at this point of operation. (Other important adjustments are necessary for correct
locking. See separate instructions on "Adjustment of Indexing Arm")
Caution: Over-tightening of the flow control valve will cause the operator to draw more motor
horsepower than necessary or desirable, and cause additional stress on the hydraulic power unit.
Be sure to tighten the set screw on the adjusting knob to lock your adjustment.

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, has been selected. See the next page for
instructions on how make this setting.
1. There are five buttons on the membrane switch pad that provide
control of everything. The Open, Close and Stop 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 or 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 25 & 26, 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
program 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. Verify system status by pressing the LED button to disclose
any active inputs. There also must not be any Alerts, Faults or Errors. Press the Reset
button to clear the system if necessary.

b. Press the Program Menu button and watch the LCD scroll the system data, or press the
Program Menu key a 2
nd
time to skip the scroll. The scrolled data displays the information
in the table on page 25.
c. The LCD display scroll will stop at the menu item for the auto 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
Installer 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
Basic Configuration and Setting of the Usage Class
1. The hydraulic hoses must be connected to the quick couplers by matching the color coded ends
to configure the correct directional control of the gate. 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 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.
4. Once the usage class is set, 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 the UL
usage class [uC __] has been entered.
Test for normal function of the gate operator by running it both open and closed from the pushbuttons on
the membrane switch pad. It is best to verify normal function before the gate panel has been mounted.

Connecting a Master / Slave Pair
The HRG 222 is automatically programmed to operate as a master slave set. If you are installing
two HRG 220’s to operate as a Master/Slave pair, the process is very simple. There is no need to
order a special model or any adapters. The area of the board marked Dual Gate employs a 3-wire
RS485 serial port for communication between Master & Slave operators.
1. An electrical conduit for the interconnecting wires must span between the two operators.
2. Complete the installation of both of the HRG 220 operators as separate machines and verify that
their basic functions are correct as solo operators before interconnecting them.
3. The two gate operators should be supplied by home runs from separate 20 Ampere circuit
breakers in the main panel, but if there is only one circuit, be absolutely certain that the breaker
and wire size is sufficient for the load of two motors. See Appendix 9.
4. External control inputs, vehicle detectors and entrapment protection sensors may be connected
to either gate operator without regard to preference.
5. To interconnect the two operators, route a shielded twisted pair with an internal ground wire
between the electric control boxes and connect to the RS485 Dual Gate terminals, in matching
order on both machines: In the RS 485 shaded area connect the terminals for Master Com to
Slave Com with the ground shield trace wire, and connect the Master A to Slave A and the
Master B to Slave B using the insulated twisted pair of wires.
6. The Installer Menu in each machine must be set as a Master or a Slave under menu item [dg__].
Set one operator as a Slave [dg_1] and the other as a Master [dg_2]. If the function of any
external input is to be different than the factory default, configure for the desired function on the
operator where that input is connected. Internal functions, such as the close timer or reversal
distance, are controlled by the Master operator regardless of the settings in the Slave.
7. Once set as a Master or a Slave the operators will be in constant communication with each other.
If that communication stops because the wires become severed or one operator is turned off,
both machines will cease functioning and the LCD will display Err4, which is a Master/Slave
communication error. This error cannot be reset until both machines are functional and
communicating properly again.

User 4 [AP 0] Power loss function: This menu item only appears if the operator is a DC battery
powered version. This item is to configure what gate function will occur when the AC power fails. See
page 55 for more detailed information on DC operators.
User 5 [ro 0] Radio control option: This menu item is to configure whether a radio input can open
only (default) or if set to 1, also has the ability to close the gate when it is fully open.
User 6 [bF 2] Warn before operate: This menu item controls the warn before operate buzzer and
can be configured three ways. Setting the menu item to zero turns the buzzer off, but we strongly advise
leaving this valuable warning feature active to alert prior to gate motion. Never cut the wires to the buzzer or unplug it. Set to 1 and the buzzer will sound three seconds before motion and the entire time
during gate motion. Set to 2 (default) and the buzzer will sound three seconds before motion and for the
first two seconds of motion.
User 7 [FA 0] Forced open Alert and automatic gate reposition: This function is intended for highly
secure facilities. If it is enabled, by setting the selection to 1, it will reinitiate a closure if a gate is
somehow forced to open far enough that the close limit switch releases. The Alert buzzer will sound
immediately, even if it had been turned off, and the motor will restart to secure the gate fully closed. If
the gate is not fully closed within four seconds the motor turns off and the alert buzzer sounds an intruder
alert for thirty seconds. The LCD display reads ALE1.
User 8 [dA 0] Drift Closed Alert and automatic gate reposition: If it is enabled, by setting the
selection to 1, it will restore a gate to back its fully open position if it drifts closed for any reason. The
buzzer will sound a warn before operate alert, even if it had been turned off, and the motor will restart to
reopen the gate. The motor will run for a maximum of four seconds and if the gate is not fully open in
this period, the buzzer sounds for ten seconds and the LCD display reads ALE2.
User 9 [PE 0] PE Alignment Mode: This feature may be activated as an aide to photo-eye emitter /
receiver alignment. The buzzer chirps once as the photo eye is triggered or twice when the photo eye is
released. The Alignment Mode is cancelled with any close limit input or reset input.
User 10 [CL 0] Clock and date set: The Smart Touch Controller is equipped with a 24 hour 365 day
clock, so that events of significance can be logged and stamped with the time and date. This feature is
useful to record historical operation data, which can be accessed via the RS232 port. To set or adjust
the hour, minute, day or month, see page 32.
User 11 [Ld 5] LCD Contrast set: Under some extreme high or low temperature conditions, it may be
necessary to adjust the contrast of the LCD display. The display is adjustable from 0-9 with a factory
default setting of 5.

Correctional Facility – User Optional Wiring
A special terminal strip has been pre-wired in Correctional facilities models to the three user relay
outputs for easy field wiring of the common interconnect options. If alternate output functions are
required, see page 30, titled Options for User Programmable Output Relays 1-3.
Connecting an Interlocked Pair:
An interlocked pair of operators is not a Master/Slave system, but is simply two gate operators
interlocked such that the one cannot open unless the other is fully closed. This connection is used
frequently at correctional facilities for Sally Port gates. The Smart Touch Controller provides both an
interlock input (#7) and the interlock output contact that is required.
1. User relay 1 on the Smart Touch Board has been set by the factory to provide the necessary
interlock function. Connect a total of four wires between operator #1 and operator #2 as follows:
One wire to the Common buss of each operator to the User 1 relay COM terminal of the other
operator. Then, connect wires from the User 1 relay NC terminal to the Interlock input (#7) of the
other operator.
2. If User relay 1 has already been used for a different function, then one of the other relays User 2
or User 3 must be wired as described above and set to output function 1. The user relays are
configured in the Installer Menu as item [r1__], [r2__] or [r3__] according to the definitions
described on page 31.
3. The interlock input, terminal #7, is convertible to alternately be a time clock input, so it is possible
that it may need to be switched back for the interlock function. If this alteration is needed, go to
the Installer Menu, and set item [tC _] to be [tC_1].
Connecting to an External Lock Mechanism:
An external solenoid lock or maglock can be controlled by the Smart Touch Controller to unlock just
before gate motion begins.
1. User relay 2 has been set by the factory to provide the necessary output for a solenoid lock.
Connect the voltage matching the lock solenoid to User 2 COM and connect a solenoid coil to
User 2 NO (connect a maglock coil to User 2 NC). The un-switched solenoid or maglock wire
connects directly to its supply voltage common conductor.
2. If User relay 2 has already been used for a different function, then one of the other relays User 1
or User 3 must be wired as described above and set to output function 6. The user relays are
configured in the Installer Menu as item [r1__], [r2__] or [r3__] according to the definitions
described on page 31.
Connecting the Gate Secure Position Indicator Output:
An external device can be signaled by the Smart Touch Controller to indicate the gate is secure.
1. User relay 3 has been set by the factory to provide the necessary output for position indication.
Connect the voltage matching the indicator light to User 3 COM and connect the gate secure light
to User 3 NC. The other indicator light wire connects directly to the voltage common conductor.
If an unsecured light is required, connect it to User 3 NO.
2. If User relay 3 has already been used for a different function, then one of the other relays User 1
or User 2 must be wired as described above and set to output function 1. The user relays are
configured in the Installer Menu as item [r1__], [r2__] or [r3__] according to the definitions
described on page 31.

Options for User Programmable Output Relays 1-3
The Smart Touch Controller can be set to interface to many types of external devices through the use of its
programmable output relays. All of the output functions listed below are accessible in the Installer Menu
under the selection [r1 __], [r2 __] and [r3 __]. Select which relay you wish to use and enter the appropriate
function by the numbers as listed below.
1. Close Limit output: This output can also be used to create an interlock signal to another operators interlock
input, or simply to indicate that the gate is secure. The relay is released at full closure.
2. Close limit pulse output: This output may be used in a sequenced system to command a 2
close. Generates a brief pulsed output that occurs when the close limit is triggered.
3. Open limit output: This output is used to indicate a full open position indication. This output becomes active
when to open limit is triggered and releases when the open limit is released.
4. Open limit pulse output: This output may be used to trip a sequenced barrier arm gate operator to open.
Generates a brief pulsed output occurs when the open limit is triggered. An additional pulse is also generated
with any new open command even when the gate is already fully open.
5. Warn before/during operate output: This output may be used to control an external warning device. This
output will operate at the same time as the internal warn before operate buzzer.
nd
machine to
6. Gate Lock output: This output may be used to control external solenoid locks or magnetic locks. In both
directions of travel, this output will be activated about 7/10
th
of a second before the operator starts moving the
gate, and remains active while moving and for a few seconds after stopping.
7. Gate forced open output: Alarms if the gate is forced off the closed limit switch, and operator is not able to
restore the gate to full closed within four seconds. This alarm resets itself in 30 seconds.
8. Gate open too long output: Activates when the gate has been open longer than a user-selected period of
time. Adjustable from 0 delay, then 15 seconds delay to 135 seconds delay in 30-second time increments.
9. Safety Mode Alert output: Activated when system is in the Safety Mode or the Entrapment Mode. Safety
Mode occurs upon an impact with an obstruction. Entrapment Mode means the gate is stopped and occurs if
the internal inherent sensor triggers while the system is in the Safety Mode.
10. Entrapment Mode Alert output: Activated only when system is in the Entrapment Mode.
11. Unauthorized Vehicle Entry output: Activated when a 2
nd
vehicle enters from the outside, without a valid
input from an access control device. This output releases when an access control input signals open or the
gate reaches the close limit position.
12. Outside Obstruction Vehicle Detector output: This output may be used to interlock to an entry device to
prevent pedestrian use. This output is active whenever the OOLD is tripped.
13. Special output from “OOLD” only when gate is closed: Used to annunciate a vehicle or to indicate loitering.
Adjustable from 0 delay, then 15 to 135 seconds delay in 30-second time intervals.
14. Gate nearing full travel output: For operators with RPM sensors only. This output is activated when the gate
is three feet from full travel in both the open and close directions. This output can be used to reduce the
sensitivity of a proximity sensor near the ends of gate travel.
15. Gate Failure output: This output is activated to report that a problem has occurred. Indicates that system in
an Error Mode, Fault Mode or Entrapment Mode. If active, the gate is disabled.
16. Motor Running output: This output is active when the motor is running and the gate is in motion.
17. AC Power Failure output: This relay is normally energized, but drops with loss of AC power. This output is
also active on DC machines when the battery charger is off.
18. DC Power Failure output: This output is activated when the battery power is very low, but the output ceases
when the battery is dead. The relay is triggered when the battery is less than 20 Volts.
19. Flasher Relay: This output is intended to control flashing lights that pulse once per second. The relay is
activated all the time, except when the open limit switch is triggered.

Clock Functions
Setting the time and Date
The Smart Touch Controller is equipped with a 24 hour (military time), 365 day clock, so that events of
significance can be logged and stamped with both the time and the date. This feature is useful to record
key historical operational data and a log of Alerts, Faults and Errors, all of which can be accessed from
the RS232 port with a PC computer or a PDA using the Palm OS. Optional Hy-Security supplied
software and cables are required in order to read this data.
1. To set or adjust the time or date, go the User menu item [CL_0] and then push the Select button
so that [CL_0] blinks. Press the Next button to change the setting from [CL_0] to 1, 2, 3 or 4
depending upon which setting is to be altered. 1 = minutes / 2 = hours / 3 = days / 4 = months.
2. Once you have selected a blinking setting [CL 1-4], push the Select button (Note: you must push
the Program Menu button for software versions prior to h3.01) to change the display to a blinking
(adjustable) value. The following letters will be displayed on the left side to aid in knowing which
setting is being made:
a. Setting [CL 1] = minutes – display [ni 0–59]
b. Setting [CL 2] = hours –--- display [hr 0–23]
c. Setting [CL 3] = days –---- display [dA 1-31]
d. Setting [CL 4] = months – display [no 1-12]
3. Make any required change to the hour, minute, day or month in the typical manner by using the
Next or Previous buttons, then press the Select button to enter the change, just as typical for
all of our other menu settings.
4. When done, you may have to restore the setting to [CL 0] because the Menu button may
not function to allow the user to exit the clock setting mode until the user has changed the
setting back to [CL 0], which places the clock in its normal display mode.
5. A lithium disk battery supports the clock so that the time is not lost when the main power is off.
This battery should be replaced about every five years. Use a DL 2025 / DL 2032 or CR 2025 /
2032 battery.

Placement and Use of Secondary Pedestrian Entrapment Sensors
WARNING:
gate operator handbook and on the warning labels.
Automatic gate operators are intended only for vehicular use and pedestrians must be routed to a
separate man gate, however sensors are still required in order to provide a degree of protection should
anyone happen to stray into the area of an automatic gate. Generally there are two types of external
sensors that may be used: Contact type sensors, such as an edge sensor, and non-contact sensors,
such as photoelectric eyes. Current industry standards require the use of either type or both of these
sensors, as a secondary device, in Class I and Class II automatic sliding gate installations, because the
general public is likely to be present. Although there are alternatives for Class III and IV installations, we
highly recommend the use of external sensors for all automatic gate applications.
The specifier or installer may choose either photoelectric eyes or edge sensors, or use these devices in
combination, but both the open and closing directions of gate travel must be guarded. The UL 325
standard for automatic sliding gates specifically requires the following:
• One or more non-contact sensors (photoelectric eyes) shall be located where the risk of
• One or more contact sensors (edge sensors) shall be located at the leading edge, and bottom
• A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and it’s wiring arranged so that the communication
• A contact sensor that transmits its signal to the gate operator shall be located such that the signal
• The contact and non-contact sensors must be tested and labeled as “Recognized Components”
Study the entrapment protection schematic and consider your specific installation to determine
where the greatest risk of entrapment exists. Locate the edge sensors and/or the photoelectric
sensors accordingly. Be certain that a sufficient number of sensors are used so that both
directions of gate travel are guarded.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions in the
entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate.

between the sensor and the gate is not subjected to mechanical damage.
is not impeded by building structures or other obstructions and shall function under its intended
end-use conditions.
under the UL 325 standard in order to be deemed acceptable for use in this application.
1. Follow the guidelines in the Entrapment Protection Schematic to plan the most appropriate
mounting positions for the edge sensors to be installed. For swinging gates. one or more contact
sensors (edge sensors) shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge, and on the
bottom edge of a swinging gate that has more than 6” clearance to the road. A requirement of
the UL 325 standard is that an edge sensor be laboratory tested and “recognized” under UL 325.
2. Drill holes through the edge’s mounting channel and through the surface that each gate edge is to
be mounted. Securely fasten every edge sensor. Vertically mounted edge sensors should all be
placed not higher than 6” above the ground.
3. Edge sensors that are not attached to the moving gate, such as post mounted sensors are wired
in parallel and directly connected to the gate operator:
a. If the gate is swinging open to a wall with less than 16” clearance, mount a gate edge to
the wall that aligns with the gate when it is in the open position.
b. Always route the leads of the edge sensors to the gate operator so that they are protected
from physical damage.
c. Connect one edge sensor lead to our common buss on the power supply board and the
other to terminal #13, which is labeled Edge Sensor input.
4. Edge sensors may be used with an edge transmitter and a receiver in order to transmit to the
gate operator. We do not recommend the use of retractable cord reels or curl cords because of
durability problems with these devices in outdoor environments.
a. Mount gate edge sensors to the leading edge and bottom edge of the gate so that
entrapment protection is provided in both directions of travel.
b. Mount one or two edge transmitters (Linear Model #3022 or equivalent) onto the gate
panel near the upper corner of the leading edge of the gate. All gate edges will function
correctly if only one transmitter is used, but wiring multiple edges to a single transmitter
may be impractical or displeasing visually.
c. Connect the edge(s) to the terminals in the edge transmitter and set the DIP switches of
the transmitter to match the setting in the receiver to be used.
5. Mount a commercial style radio receiver* (external antenna type) on the inside of the operator,
below the electrical box. Knock out the smallest hole in the lower right corner of the electrical box
and route the wires to the area marked Radio Options. Only three wire connections are needed
because the 24-Volt supply and the radio output share a wire. Being certain to observe polarity,
crimp the black radio power wire together with one of the radio output wires into a .25” spade
connector and connect to the COM terminal. Connect the red wire to the +24V terminal and
connect the other radio output contact wire to the spade marked EDGE. Note that this terminal is
the same as the #13 input terminal labeled Edge Sensor on the main control board.
a. Mount an external antenna onto the top of a fixed post of the fence near the operator.
b. Connect the antenna into the socket on the radio receiver.
c. Set the DIP switches in the receiver to match the same code used in the transmitter.
6. Test the operation of the reversing edge to make sure that it is functions correctly. Advise the
user of the gate to be certain to retest this vital function weekly.
* If there is also to be a radio receiver for a hand held transmitter to operate the gate, be certain to
use a two channel commercial receiver. Remember that the transmitter and receiver must have their
codes set the same or they will not function.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Installing Photoelectric (Non-contact) Sensors
General Information:
Follow the guidelines in the Entrapment Protection Schematic to plan the most appropriate mounting
positions for the photo-eye sensors to be installed. If there are no other secondary external entrapment
protection sensors (typically an edge sensor), at least two photoelectric sensors are required to serve to
reverse the gate in each direction of travel. The Smart Touch Controller has two photoelectric sensor
inputs (Photo eye open and Photo eye close).
There are two common types of photoelectric sensors, thru beam and retro-reflective, each has some
advantages. A thru beam sensor is generally more powerful and able to function reliably with dirty optics
and in poor weather. A retro-reflective sensor has the convenience of not requiring the installation and
electrical wiring of the remote emitter required in a thru beam system, but is generally more problematic
in poor weather. Avoid use of a retro-reflective device to span a distance greater than 24 feet in an
outdoor environment or performance will probably be unsatisfactory.
Compatibility:
A requirement of the UL 325 standard is that a photoelectric sensor be laboratory tested and
“recognized” under UL 325. In order to be compatible with a Hy-Security operator, a photo eye must be
rated to function from 24 Volts DC source power.
Installation:
Mount the photo eyes approximately 15” to 30” above the ground and as close to the gate as possible.
Unless there are also gate edges for entrapment protection, a minimum of two photo eyes will be
required to function for both the open and closing directions of travel. Mount the receivers on the left and
right sides of the gate operator and the emitters just beyond the travel of the gate in both the full open
and full closed positions of travel. In some situations, an additional photo eye should be installed on the
public side of the gate. The installation locations described above are intended for pedestrian detection,
if photo eyes are also to be used for vehicular detection, consider, in addition to the low elevation photo
eye for cars, another photo eye at a height of about 55” to detect semi-trucks.
Configuration:
If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate vs. Dark Operate, select Light Operate.
If the photo eye has a relay output and has both NO and NC terminals, some experimentation may be
required to determine the proper connection. This is because in the Light Operate mode the output relay
is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked. Some manufacturers label an output as
NO, when it is actually an NC contact. If the photo eye has a solid-state output and provides the option
of a sinking or sourcing connection, choose the sinking connection.
Connection:
Three wires to the receiver and two wires to the emitter are all that is required.
a. The +24 Volt source power is obtained from our power supply board.
b. The –24 Volt source power is obtained from our terminals #14 or 15, labeled (Photo Eye
Power) on the Smart Touch Controller board.
Note: The –24 Volt Photo Eye Power also supplies the photo eye Common.
c. The photo eye NO or NC output connects to the Smart Touch Controller board at terminal
#19 if the photo eye spans the road, or at terminal #17 if the photo eye spans the gate’s
open position storage area.
If the photo eye being installed has a true NC output (one that is NC when the photo eye is powered,
aligned and set for Light Operate) then a supervised connection is recommended. A supervised
connection will signal a system Fault and prevent gate operation if either the open or close photo eye
connection ever becomes an open circuit or a short circuit. The Installer Menu item [PC_0] must be
changed to [PC_1] to enable this feature. See Installer menu 16 on page 29.
Photo Eye Function:
A tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction if the gate is stationary. If
tripped while in motion, the standard function is to pause the gate motion and then automatically restart
again if the photo eye is clear within five seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a
2 second reversal of travel. See Installer menu items 12 & 13.
Alignment:
Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the center of the
receiver or reflector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system,
especially with retro-reflective photo eyes. The best way to assure true centering of the beam is with
some trial testing where the emitter is shifted to move the beam left and right and up and down until the
range of the invisible cone of the infrared beam is known. Photo eyes usually provide alignment aid
LED’s for this setup, but they can be hard to see. Hy-Security has provided a unique feature that causes
our buzzer to chirp when the photo eye enters and exits alignment. See User menu 9. Set the Installer
menu item [PE_0] to [PE_1] and the buzzer will provide an audible indication both when the beam is
broken and remade.
Notes about retro-reflective systems:
Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector is important for a trouble free
installation. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty
optics, condensation or poor weather. If care is taken in the initial mounting and alignment of the 3-inch
reflector, the chance of problems is greatly reduced.
Taking steps to protect the photo eye and the reflector from being exposed to fog and being absolutely certain
the photo eye is perfectly aligned will greatly reduce any false triggering of the system. The ideal mounting of
a retro-reflective photo eye is inside and enclosure of some sort.
The ideal mounting for the reflector is suspended inside a twelve-inch long piece of 3-inch PVC conduit. Cut
the opening of the PVC conduit at a 45-degree angle to act as a drip shield. Hold the reflector against the
backside of the PVC conduit by attaching a 3-inch male connector. Do not cement the connector, so that the
reflector can be reached for future cleaning. To create a mounting base, attach a 3-inch aluminum flange
(electric meter hub) to the connector. This whole package can be mounted to any flat surface.
Locate the reflector in the center of the invisible beam of infrared light to achieve the most sensitive alignment.
The beam center is determined by the following test: while holding the reflector in your hand, slowly raise it
until the beam is no longer returned, and the photo eye trips. Mark this maximum height. Now lower your hand
and determine the lower limit of the infrared beam by watching for the trip point. Mark this position as well.
Repeat the same procedure for left and right at the center elevation of the beam, as determined by the
previous test. Once the four limits have been determined, either mount the reflector in the center of the area
outlined or realign the eye for the position of the reflector. If the photo eye is realigned, be sure to perform the
centering test again to verify that the reflector is truly in the center.
A last tip – if you coat the reflector with common dishwashing detergent, or some other anti-fogging
compound, it will reduce fogging from atmospheric moisture.

Detector Installation Guide
Detector Basics
The vehicle detector passes a small current flow through the “loop” which then becomes an inductive
coil. When a vehicle passes over a loop the detector senses the resultant drop in the inductance, and
actuates the detector output.
Loop Configurations
Configurations differ depending on the application. In parking applications with our HTG 320 operator, a
loop may be as small as 3’ x 6’. In traffic applications employing one of our sliding gate operators, or
swing gate operators, the smallest loop should not be less than six feet square.
Rules to Follow for Security Gate Applications
1. The side of the loop closest to the gate shall be located at least four (4) feet distant from its line of
travel.
2. The shortest side of the loop shall be between six (6) and eight (8) feet in length. The longest side of
the loop shall be between six (6) and twenty (20) feet in length. For applications that need to span a
wide area, use several smaller loops. Do not exceed a maximum of 200 square feet of loop area to
only one detector.
1. In applications with multiple loops, keep each loop at least six feet apart. This avoids “cross talk”. It
is possible to have loops closer together by selecting different frequencies. An advantage of using
Hy-Security model HY-5A detectors is that problematic “cross talk” is not possible.
3. For greater sensitivity and less chance of false calls caused by the motion of the gate, it is better to
use two smaller loops, connected in a series circuit, to one detector instead of one large, single loop.
4. To avoid interference, keep loops at least two (2) inches above any reinforcing steel. Do not route
loop wires with, or in close proximity to, any other conductors, including other loop leads, unless
shielded lead-in cable is used.
5. Loop and lead-in wire should be one continuous piece. Avoid splices, if possible. If a splice is
necessary for any reason, “pot” the splice in epoxy or use heat shrink to ensure that the quality of the
splice covering is the same as the original wire jacket.
6. Use only 14, 16 or 18 gauge stranded wire with a direct burial jacket. Cross linked polyethylene
insulation types, such as, XLPE or XHHW, will last much longer and are less prone to damage during
installation than conventional insulation types. Preformed loops can be used before road surfacing or
under pavers.
7. Twist loose tails of lead-in wires tightly, approximately ten times per foot.
39
Page 46
Installation and Maintenance Manual
Detector Installation Guide, continued
8. Follow this guide for the correct number of wire turns according to the perimeter size of the loop:
10 to 13 lf. = 5 turns 14 to 26 lf. = 4 turns 27 to 45 lf. = 3 turns 46 to 100 lf. = 2 turns
9. This guide is written from a design perspective, but installation workmanship practices are equally
important to insure proper operation and long loop life. The best way to insure a quality installation is
to employ a professional installer experienced with detector loops. A few important practices are:
S The slot in the surface should be cut ¼” wide x 1 ½” deep.
S The corners of the cut must be at an angle or core drilled to relieve stress on the wires.
S After the wire is installed, the slot must be completely backfilled with a non-hardening sealer.
Note that if the loop wires are able to move in the slot after the sealer has set, the detector may
give false calls.
Detector Logic
Hy-Security Gate Operators recommends that vehicle detectors be used for free open and obstruction
sensing logic only. The exception is in parking applications with our HTG320 operator where detectors
may be also used to close the gate. In applications employing our swing, vertical lift, or sliding gate
operators, closing logic cannot be used. Because of their slower speeds, closing logic is a poor choice
for security gate systems. Since there are several ways that the gate may be left standing open and
because there is a loss of safety. Our circuit has not been designed to accommodate “detect to close”
logic.
Loop Diagnostics
The following tests cannot guarantee a functioning loop, but failure of either test means that the loop is
definitely suspect, even though it may still be functioning at the time.
Test #1:
Resistance of the loop and lead-in wire should not exceed 4.0 Ohms.
Test #2:
The resistance to earth, as measured with a 500V “Megger”, should be 100 Megohms or more. Loops
may function at 10 Megohms or less but will not be reliable (e.g. when the ground is wet from rainfall).
Low resistance indicates broken or moisture saturated insulation. This is common if inappropriate wire
insulation has been used.
Also see section titled “Detector & Loop Fault Diagnostics” on page 46, for additional tests that may be
performed with Hy-Security HY-5A mini detector modules.

Vehicle Detector Installation Options
The Smart Touch Controller provides a feature rich interface to four different vehicle detector inputs.
Standard box type 11 pin (24 Volt DC or 24 Volt AC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the
traditional manner, see page 45. Hy-Security also offers a custom mini detector module that plugs
directly into the Smart Touch Control board. Not only is the field installation much faster, but there is also
a large performance benefit. The Hy-Security HY-5A detector is controlled by the Smart Touch
microprocessor to achieve many benefits over common box type detectors*
a. Loop frequency is automatically set and monitored
by the Smart Touch Controller
b. Cross talk between multiple loops is impossible
c. The best operating frequency for each loop is
automatically chosen
d. Smart Touch can report the both loop frequency and
call strength on its LCD display
e. Smart Touch will report loop malfunctions and store
this data in its EEprom memory
f. Most detector or loop faults that could occur are
reported and displayed on the LCD display
There are four vehicle detector inputs available both on the main terminal strip and as direct plug in
modules. The vehicle detector inputs are for the following functions:
1. Free Exit Loop Detector – “ELD”
2. Outside Obstruction Loop Detector – “OOLD” (this is the outside reversing loop)
3. Inside Obstruction Loop Detector – “IOLD” (this is the inside reversing loop)
4. Shadow Loop Detector – “SLD” (this is for swing gates only)
*A combination of HY-5A detectors and standard box detectors is acceptable
It is not mandatory to use two separate detectors for inner and outer obstruction detection,
however the benefits of using this additional detector are great. Several new features are possible, such
nd
vehicle intrusion detection, a loitering alert and selectable non-reversing. Multiple obstruction
as 2
detectors may be mandatory because not more than 200 sq-ft of loop area may be connected to any one
detector or the sensitivity becomes inadequate.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
Hy-Security Hy-5A Vehicle Detector Installation
1. Insert the locking end of each of two 1” long white plastic standoffs into the mounting holes on the
detector.
2. Plug the detector into the appropriate socket along the right side edge of the Smart Touch
Controller board for the detector function that is desired. Be careful to align the six detector pins
into the socket correctly, and then snap the standoffs into the holes on the right side of our control
enclosure.
3. Route the loop wires through the wire clips provided, and connect the loop leads to the two
terminals directly on the detector. Tighten the terminal screws securely.
4. When the power is turned on, the detectors will immediately tune themselves.
5. Once enabled, if the detector module is unplugged, a communications alert [AL10] will be
triggered, then if the fault continues, [Err3] “detector failed” is displayed. The operator will also
run as if the affected detector is triggered. The [Err3] can only be cleared by pressing the Reset
button, which electronically uninstalls the detector. See Detector & Loop Diagnostics on page 46.
6. The Smart Touch Controller automatically governs frequency selection of all Hy-5A detector
modules. This simplifies installation and guarantees that there is no cross talk between multiple
loops. The frequency can also be manually selected if needed, see the installer menu options.
7. Sensitivity is the only adjustment on the detector itself. Generally sensitivity does not need to be
increased unless the loop is large loop or there are multiple loops connected to one detector. Do
not exceed more than 200 sq/ft of loop area to one detector.
The rotary switch for sensitivity has eight settings, which are as follows:
0 = Low, 1 = Normal, 2 = Medium, 3 = High (0-3 with the boost feature*)
4 = Low, 5 = Normal, 6 = Medium, 7 = High (4-7 no boost feature*)
*Boost increases the sensitivity during a call and is very useful for maintaining continuous
detection when the signal may become weak, such as semi-trucks.
8. Vehicle detector functions are configurable in the Installer Menu as shown below.
Installer Menu Options Default Description
I19

The outside and inside Obstruction Loop Detectors “OOLD” or “IOLD” are factory configured to fully reopen the gate as a default setting. In the Installer menu, each detector can individually be set so that
when the gate is closing there is only a pause if triggered. To change the IOLD setting, go to the menu
item [ir__] and set to 0. For the OOLD, go to the menu item [or__] and set to 0.

Standard 11 Pin Box Type Vehicle Detector Installation
1. If standard 11 pin vehicle detectors are to be used, snap up to three sockets onto the aluminum
DIN mounting rail, with the key in the center hole facing to the left.
2. Both 24 Volts AC or DC are available, so either detector voltage may be used. (24 VAC is not
available if the operator is a battery type) 24 VAC is available at the spade terminals on the lower
left corner of our power supply (marked ACC). 24 VDC is available from the Common Buss and
the +24 V spade terminals next to the common Buss.
3. Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Polarity does not matter if the detector is a 24 AC model.
If a DC detector is used, pin #1 is (+) on a DC detector and pin #2 is ( - ).
4. Connect the output pin #6 to the common Buss on the power supply and the output pin #5 to one
of the four detector inputs (depending upon the detector function required) on the Smart Touch
Controller terminal strip.
5. If multiple detectors are used, join the wires from socket to socket rather than run each to the
same location separately. The only wire that must be separate is the output wire to the Smart
Touch Controller as well as the loop input wires.
6. Always keep the loop wires well twisted at all places beyond the area of the loop. The lead in
portion sealed in a saw cut does not need to be twisted so long as the wires are encapsulated in
loop sealant and cannot move.

Detector & Loop Fault Diagnostics
If Hy-Security HY-5A mini detector modules are used, the Smart Touch Controller has ability to store and
report detector and loop fault information for performance diagnostics. If The Smart Touch Controller
senses a loop or detector problem, the LCD display will flash the abbreviation for the affected detector
(ELd – ioLd – ooLd – SLd) then it will flash the appropriate Alert Code [ALE_] to disclose the nature of
the problem and the buzzer will chirp.
Loop abnormal freq change alert ALE7 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop shorted to ground alert ALE8 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop disconnected alert ALE9 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop detector active >5 minutes AL12 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop detector comm. alert AL10 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop detector function alert AL11 2 chirps/sec every 15 seconds
Loop detector failed Err3 3 chirps/sec once per minute
Even if the loop problem self heals, historical data about detector/loop performance and a log of Alerts,
Faults and Errors can be retrieved from the Smart Touch Controller by downloading from the RS232
communications port. This requires optional Hy-Security software and cables, and a PC computer or a
PDA using the Palm OS, in order to read this data.
Frequency:
Knowing the exact frequency of a loop can be useful as a diagnostic tool and verifying that the loop
frequency is stable is also very valuable information. To view the actual loop frequency of a specific
vehicle detector, go to the setting for that detector, then change the selection to a flashing 1 and then
press the Select button. The display will flash between [F_xx] which are the high digits, then the low
digits of the loop frequency counter. For example: [F_05] + [3413] would represent a frequency of
53,413 Hertz. The highest digit will probably be only a single digit because loop frequency is usually a
five-digit number, between 20,000 to 80,000 Hertz.
Changing the Loop Frequency:
HY-5A detectors can never cross talk, but if for any reason, you want to manually change the loop
frequency, change the menu selection to a flashing 4 and then press the Select button. Each detector
has a choice of four frequencies. To exit, press the Menu button and the controller will perform a reset
and tune to the new frequency setting.
Call Strength Level:
Knowing the strength level of a detector call is valuable because it provides information about how well
the loop is actually “seeing” a specific vehicle. For example, it may be useful to check to see if the loop
is easily detecting the middle of a high bed semi-truck. The strength of a detector call can be displayed
in real time, on a scale of 1-7. As indicated in the table below, when a detector’s menu setting is set to 2,
and the Select button is pressed, the LCD display will read [LE_x]. If the call strength islevel 4 or
less, consider increasing the sensitivity level, by adjusting the rotary switch on the HY-5A detector.

Connecting a Radio Receiver
Mount a commercial style 24 Volt radio receiver (external antenna type) on the inside of the operator,
below the electrical box. Knock out the smallest hole in the lower right corner of the electrical box and
route the wires to the area marked Radio Options. Only three wire connections are needed because the
24-Volt supply and the radio output share a wire. Being certain to observe polarity, crimp the black radio
power wire together with one of the radio output wires into a .25” spade connector and connect to the
COM terminal. Connect the red wire to the +24V terminal and connect the other radio output contact
wire to the spade marked OPEN. Note that this terminal is the same as the #4 input terminal labeled
Edge Sensor on the main control board.
Mount an external antenna onto the top of a fixed post of the fence near the operator.
Connect the antenna into the socket on the radio receiver.
Set the DIP switches in the receiver to match the same code used in the transmitter.
If there is also to be an edge sensor transmitter to reverse the gate, be certain to use a two channel
commercial receiver. Remember that each transmitter and receiver must have their codes set the same
or they will not function.

Troubleshooting
Trouble With Gate Movement in General:
1. Review the HRG index arm adjustment and the flow control valve adjustment on page18.
2. Inspect the operator for hydraulic leaks both in the control panel and the base of the operator
post, insure there is sufficient fluid in the reservoir, if not refill it to within 1” of the fill plug.
3. During operation listen for unusual sounds and investigate the source.
Electrical Problems in General:
The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions on its LCD display and the buzzer will emit a
series of chirps at defined intervals. Review the matrix of Alerts, Faults and Errors listed on the next
page. To disclose the status of all inputs on the terminal strip, the LED tact button must be pushed. This
button is in the upper left corner near the Stop input.
Specific Types of Problems:"I pushed the open and close buttons, but nothing runs."
1. Verify that the line voltage is present and matches the operator voltage +
2. In three phase applications insure that all three legs of line voltage pass though the power
disconnect switch to the motor contactor, in case one of the lines is dropped somewhere.
3. Verify that control voltage is present at the power supply Common and 24VDC terminals. It may
be necessary to reset the circuit breaker (black button) on the transformer.
4. Verify a jumper wire joins Common to Stop, if an external stop button is not used.
5. Verify there are no Faults or Errors reported on the LCD display. See table on the next page.
6. If the motor contactor chatters, voltage drop due to undersized wires is the likely cause. Check
Appendix 9 for maximum allowable length of wiring runs vs. wire size.
"The pump is running but the gate panels don’t move."
(Hydraulic pressure is between 0 - 700 PSI on the gauge)
1. If the power is three-phase, verify CCW motor rotation and reverse any two AC lines if needed.
2. Check the level of the hydraulic oil by removing the plug in the reservoir. If necessary, add oil at
this location to within one inch of the filler hole.
3. Unplug the hoses and run the pump, look at the pressure gauge to confirm the system pressure
reaches 1350 PSI. Re-attach the hoses when complete.
4. If relief pressure is not attained, remove the relief valve entirely and depress the plunger at the
nose end with a blunt tool (large Allen wrench) and blow it to remove any debris. Return the valve
to the power unit once cleaned.
“Hydraulic pressure is above 700 PSI”
1. Verify that the quick connectors at the hose ends are fully seated when connected.
2. Check the flow control valve, it must not be turned too far clock-wise. See adjustment instructions
on page 17.
"The gate panels move in the wrong direction."
1. Check hose connections to verify the correct order red to red and brass to brass.
2. With the system engaged to open, verify that the Open Valve coil develops a strong pull. (This

GATE SPEED: The speed in which a hydraulic operator moves a gate is determined by the size of the
pump and the size of the actuator components. Just like a gear box, this speed is not adjustable.
Attempting to slow a gate by changing any valve setting will cause a great deal of inefficiency and heat. If
the speed of a gate must be changed, contact your Hy-Security distributor. Extremely cold weather is
unlikely to seriously affect the speed of the gate, because Hy-Security employs a special grade of
hydraulic oil that we call UNIFLOW oil, which maintains a very linear viscosity over a broad range of
temperatures. Because of this high quality oil and other design considerations, we rate our operators for
service in ambient temperatures of –40F degrees to 130F degrees. If the speed of your operator has
been affected by cold weather, verify that the gate hardware s not impaired by ice and verify that the
reservoir it is filled with UNIFLOW oil. In severe conditions, consider adding a heater.

Installation and Maintenance Manual
General Maintenance
Operator Post
The Hy-Security Swing Gate Operator is designed to require a minimum amount of maintenance.
There is no lubrication required for any part of the operator, including the cam followers located at the
center of the operator. The cam followers are permanently lubricated at the factory.
Inspect the white UHMW plastic bearings at inside top & bottom of the 7" square post. If the gap between
the bearing and the 5-1/2" round post exceeds 3/8", replace the bearing.
Inspect the open and close operation of the gate for speed and travel. If adjustment is necessary, refer
to the information on adjustment of the flow control valve on page18.
The adjustment of the indexing arm may have to be altered to hold the gate in the correct position and
allow alignment of the locking pin with its receptacle. Adjustment is usually required only after the gate
has been hit by a vehicle or otherwise been damaged. To adjust, unbolt the tension where it attaches to
the gate and screw the adjuster, in or out as needed. See page17 for more information.
The most reliable operation occurs when the indexing arm is adjusted to slightly "over close" the gate.
The goal is to have the locking pin strike its receptacle firmly then the closing tension will aid in keeping
the locking pin aligned into the receptacle.
For assistance, contact your distributor.
Hydraulic System
Fluid Level: Under normal conditions, hydraulic systems do not consume oil. Before adding any oil,
check the system thoroughly for leaks. Remove the bright metal plug in the tank, fill to plug level, then
replace plug. We recommend our Uniflow hydraulic oil; part number H004 1.0, which is sold in one-gallon
containers by our distributors. Automatic transmission fluid may be used, although its performance in
cold weather will be sluggish unless the operator is well heated. Never use brake fluid. It will severely
damage the entire hydraulic system.
Look for leaks:
Occasionally there may be slight seeping at the fittings after some usage. Tightening of
the fittings will usually correct the problem. If the leaking persists, replace "O" rings, fittings or hoses, if
required. No further leaks should occur.
Oil Change:
A hydraulic system does not foul its oil, unlike a gas engine, so oil changes do not need to
be frequent. Oil breakdown caused by heat is the main concern. If the unit is subjected to high use,
especially in a warm climate, change the oil more frequently. In general, we recommend draining the
reservoir and replacing the oil at five-year intervals.
To change the hydraulic oil, remove the reservoir from the pump unit and completely, empty it. Wipe the
reservoir can clean and clean any debris from the pickup screen before re-assembling. Refill with new
Uniflow hydraulic oil (available from your distributor). To avoid overfilling, fill only through removable plug
near the top of the tank. Slowly pour the oil into the tank until the oil is within one inch of the filler port.
Replace the plug and wipe up any spilled oil. If any oil is allowed to remain, it will dry to a very sticky and
messy consistency.
Cold Weather:
1. Check that your reservoir is filled with our Uniflow high performance oil, which is rated to -40°F.
2. Ice can partly or totally jam gate operation. In severe weather inspect the gate for excessive buildups of snow and Ice.

General Maintenance
Electrical Controls
No routine maintenance is needed for the electrical system or controls. If the environment is very sandy
or dusty, or has many insects be certain to seal all holes in the electrical enclosure. Blow the dust out of
the electric panel with compressed air. A qualified technician may troubleshoot with the aid of the
troubleshooting guide in this appendix. If it is necessary to call a distributor for assistance, be sure to
have your model and serial number ready. Other helpful information would include the name of the job,
approximate date of installation, and the service record of the operator, especially any work that has
been done recently.
Before servicing, turn off power disconnect switch
Pressure Relief Valves Adjustment Procedures
To check your relief valve setting, first disconnect the hoses. Run the operator either open or closed (the
gate will not move with the hose disconnected. The relief valve is found on the rear of the hydraulic
power unit. It has an adjusting head and lock nut. To adjust, loosen the lock nut and screw the threaded
bolt clockwise for increased pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
There is only limited value in using the relief valve as an entrapment protection device. Photo Eyes or
gate edges are the best methods to protect pedestrians and maintain reserve power to reliably drive the
gate.

Maintenance Schedule
Swing Gate Operator Maintenance Schedule
Name of part What to do Check at these recommended monthly intervals
1 3 6 12 60
Gate and Hardware Check for damage *1 X
Gate post Check for excessive wear *2 X
Anchor bolts Check for tightness *3 X
Support post Check for movement *4 X
Limit Switches Check normal function *5 X
Fluid level Check for loss of fluid *6 X
Hydraulic fluid Drain and replace fluid *7 X
Special Notes:
*1 Your gate will usually require more maintenance than the Hy-Security operator that is moving the
gate. Damaged or warped gate panels are signs that a vehicle may have hit the gate. Verify that the
actuator post is not also damaged.
*2 Normally, with correct operator speed, the actuator post should need very little attention. If your gate
panel is very heavy or in high wind area locations the six-month inspection should include a look into the
post itself. Check the mounting base inspection cover you should find it clean. If there is any sign that
the brass bushings have deteriorated or there is wear in the UHMW bearings at the top and bottom of the
square post (a gap of more than 3/8”around the inner tube) further inspection is appropriate.
*3 The anchor bolts at the base of the post should remain tight. If the bolts are loose, there may be an
issue where the supporting post has issues or may be out of plum or the gate may be have been forced.
*4 The support post is the most critical support structure. If there is a problem with the support post, the
gate panel will sag and the mounting base will be shouldering too much of the load. Correct this problem
immediately.
*5 During this inspection you will need to open the limit switch cover, and check that the limit switches
are clean, tight and that the lever arms moves freely without feeling gummy. (The open limit switch is on
the left, close limit on the right)
*6 The oil level should remain approximately one inch below the filler hole. See maintenance instructions
for oil filling. Loss of fluid is not normal and indicates a leak that must be located and repaired. Use
“Uniflow” fluid, part H 004 1.0, if additional fluid is required.

IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING
D.C. POWERED GATE OPERATORS
The on/off switch on the electric control panel of the drive unit does not disable all DC power to the
operator, even if the AC power has been disabled at its source. The large rotary switch in the DC power
supply enclosure must be actuated off to insure disconnect of all DC power to the drive unit.
The disconnect in the power supply must be off if the AC source power will be absent for more than one
week. This avoids slowly discharging the batteries into the battery charger. Batteries will self-discharge
and therefore the DC power supply must not be stored for a period longer than 6 months without
recharging the batteries.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid. If batteries are dropped or damaged, be cautious not to get acid in the
eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Be certain to observe polarity when connecting the batteries, or adding accessories. Reversed polarity
may result in a non-functional operator or possibly damage a component. Red is (+) positive, and black
is (-) negative.
Since the electrical current under load is very high, be certain that the minimum conductor size, specified
in the installation instructions, is used for the connection between the battery pack and the operator. If
the battery pack is more than 20 feet from the operator, use a larger wire size, according to the distance
between the operator and the batteries.
If shorted, batteries will generate a very high current. Observe special care when connecting the cables
to the batteries that the polarity is correct. The batteries are connected in a series circuit: join the positive
(+) terminal from one battery to the negative (-) terminal of the next battery.
Since this operator is intended to run on batteries, control of the load is important. Easier moving gates
will drain less energy from the battery, preserving capacity for more cycles during a power failure.
Hy-Security uses a permanently sealed type battery, which needs no maintenance over its life span. A
low voltage-sensing circuit protects the batteries from damage which could be caused by over-discharge.
The charger automatically regulates its output to allow high output when the battery is partially
discharged. The output will automatically be reduced to zero as the batteries become fully charged.
Batteries have a finite life. As the batteries age they will lose some of their capacity to store energy. If the
total amount of back up capacity is critical, plan to replace the batteries after 5 years of use. Properly
dispose of or recycle used batteries.
Batteries are rated to perform to capacity at a temperature of 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Below 77 degrees,
the "amp hour" capacity is temporarily reduced. For example, at freezing, the capacity is 75%, at 10
degrees Fahrenheit, the capacity is 50%. Hy-Security insulates the battery pack to guard against this
loss. Do not remove any insulation or the performance of the system may be adversely affected.
Batteries can be damaged by excessive heat, which may shorten their life span. Therefore, do not paint
the battery enclosure a dark color that could cause it to absorb a lot of heat from sunlight.

Wiring and Control Configuration for DC Operators
If this installation is a 24-Volt DC battery type gate operator, there are a few additional steps that must be
completed before the system can be functional. Review the installation instructions below and the
connection diagram on page 56. Be certain the DC power disconnect switch is turned off before making any connections.
1. Connect the heavy gage wires between the battery enclosure and the gate operator as follows:
Be certain to observe polarity carefully!
a. From the battery enclosure the (+) lead connects to the lug on the large rotary power
disconnect switch. The (-) lead connects to the lug on the circuit breaker. At the gate
operator the (+) lead connects directly to the lug on the top of the DC electric motor. The
(-) lead connects to the bottom lug on the contactor mounted alongside the DC motor. All
lug connections must be tightened very securely since they pass high current to the gate
operator.
2. Connect two separate 14-gage circuits between the battery enclosure and the gate operator.
One circuit provides the 24 VDC to the gate operator controls and the second circuit is required
so that the Smart Touch Controller knows that the battery charger is operating normally on AC
power. Be certain to observe polarity carefully!
a. Connect four wires to the terminal strip in the battery supply labeled: (+)24, (-)24, COM,
#21. The 24 Volt (+) and (-) terminals connect to the red (+) and black (-) wires at the
on/off power switch in the gate operator.
b. The COM and #21 terminals connect to the Common Buss and to terminal #21 (Charger
AC power loss) on the Smart Touch Controller.
3. The Smart Touch Controller User Menu (U4) provides four optional system configurations for 24Volt DC battery type gate operators. Since this is an uninterruptible power supply system, the
installer must decide, depending upon customer preference, what is to happen when the AC line
power fails. There are four functional choices provided in the User Menu, item [AP__].
Setting 0 (Type A): The operator functions normally until the batteries drop to 20 Volts, then auto open and
lock until the battery voltage recovers to 23.5 Volts. The gate can still be manually closed only by a Close
Pushbutton or an Emergency Close input and will then re-open by any open command until the battery
voltage drops to 17 Volts at which time the gate is absolutely locked open.
Setting 1 (Type B): The operator functions normally until the batteries drop to 20 Volts, then auto close and
lock closed until battery voltage recovers to 23.5 Volts. The gate can only be opened by a special
combination of a Stop Pushbutton input, then within 1 second, an Open Pushbutton input. The Fire
Department open input can open the gate without the special PBS enabling pre-input. The gate can be reclosed only by Close Pushbutton and the Emergency Close inputs. When the battery voltage drops to 17
Volts, the gate completes its final cycle and stays in the full open or full closed position, depending upon
which cycle was last.
Setting 2 (Type C): The operator automatically opens five seconds after loss of AC power and locks open,
until AC power is restored. The gate can still be manually closed only by a Close Pushbutton or an
Emergency Close input and will then re-open by any open command until the battery voltage drops to 17
Volts at which time the gate is absolutely locked open.
Setting 3 (Type D): Same as type C, except the operator initially does nothing after loss of AC power, but
then locks open after the next open command of any type.

For
Supplying a gate operator with the right electrical service is crucial to the way the performance of the
operator the life of its electrical components. If the wire size used is too small, the voltage loss—
especially during motor starting—will prevent the motor from attaining its rated horsepower. The percent
of horsepower lost is far greater than the percentage of the voltage loss. A voltage loss could also cause
the control components to chatter while the motor is starting, substantially reducing their life due to the
resultant arcing. There is no way to restore the lost performance resulting from undersized wires, except
to replace them; therefore it is much more economical to choose a sufficient wire size at the initial
installation.
The tables on the following page are based on copper wire and allow for a 5% voltage drop. The
ampere values shown are the service factor ampere rating (maximum full load at continuous duty) of the
motor.
Always connect in accordance with the National Electrical Code, article 430, and other local codes that
may apply.
The maximum distance shown is from the gate operator to the power source; assuming that source
power is from a panel box with adequate capacity to support the addition of this motor load. The values
are for one operator, with no other loads applied to the branch circuit. Avoid placing more than one gate
operator to a circuit, but if you must be certain to reduce the maximum allowed distance by half.
