Measure and Calculate
Pay attention to gate swing (retracted or extended
cylinder) and clearance around the mounting location.
Consider right handing and left handing. Allow for
access to brake valves.
Use the charts, provided on pages 3 and 4, to
determine gate geometry and placement of the chassis
and gate mount.

Design Vehicle Loops
If automatic close is desired for a uni- or bi-directional
gate, a SHADOW and one other loop (IOLD or OOLD) is required.
Three loops are preferred: SHADOW, IOLD, OOLD (Free Exit, optional)
NOTE: Loop layout is dependent on uni- or bi-directional trafc and length of gate and width
of roadway. Vehicle must move from one loop to the next without loss of detection. The site
design shown on this page is for illustrative purposes only.
NOTE: Pay attention to
and plan for clearance
and access.

CAUTION
Remember to order hose through HySecurity!
In addition to conduit length, make sure
to measure hose requirements inside the
HydraSwing and HydraSupply. For example,
HydraSwing 80F requires about 1 ft of
additional hose length inside the operator
and another 2 or 3 ft inside the HydraSupply.
For proper sequencing of bi-parting (dual) gate systems, it is critical that the hydraulic
cylinder be fully extended. See “Determine Arm Geometry: 40 & 40F” on page 4.

are conrmed. The gate mount and cylinder need to
remain in a horizontal plane throughout gate travel.

Wiring AC Power
Power connection
Size the primary wires, appropriately.
Consider the voltage, horsepower,
and length of the wire run from the
main power panel.
Verify you have the proper input
voltage and make sure the motor
and transformer are wired correctly.
NOTE: Use a 20A (minimum) protected with
a 20A Inverse Time Breaker for all AC motor
connections.
1. Connect to Power: Three
pig tails and a ground are
available for connection to a
3 Phase power source (3Ø)
on the back of the keypad
display enclosure.
2. Connect AC Power: Wire nut
the incoming power wires to their appropriate pig tails. Attach the ground wire to the chassis. A wiring diagram is provided in the
appendix. Note that for 1Ø wiring, only the two outside connections/pig tails are used.
DANGER
Turn OFF AC power at the source (circuit breaker panel) before accessing the wires in the HydraSwing.
Follow facility Lock Out/Tag Out procedures. Make sure all power switches are in the OFF position. Follow
all electrical code standards and regulations.
Turning the Power Switch ON
The AC power disconnect switch (ON/OFF switch) is located on the same enclosure as
the STC keypad and display.
When power is turned ON, a green status
light on the Smart Touch Controller blinks.
The status light appears below the disc
battery and indicates that the processor is
receiving power.
Site Considerations
HySecurity gate operators are intended
for permanent installation. Make sure
you prepare the site with the following
considerations:
• Make sure all electrical wiring is
properly routed via conduits.
• Check the distance of the wire run
from the main panel to the gate operator. Make sure the wire size of the branch
circuit supplying power to the gate operator is large enough to avoid excess
voltage drop. Refer to Wire Sizing and Runs in the HydraSwing Programming
and Operations Manual.
• Make sure the available power source matches the electrical requirements
specied on the voltage nameplate.
Each gate operator is built to run on a specic line power voltage and phase. Failure to ensure
the source voltage, phase and frequency match, what is specied for the equipment, may result is
severe damage to the equipment.
• Make sure a 20A circuit (minimum) protected with a 20A Inverse Time Breaker is
provided.
• Verify that the operator is electrically grounded per NFPA 780 and NEC Article
250, and local codes.
NOTE: Refer to the HydraSwing Programming and Operations manual for Important Safety Instructions,
programming, troubleshooting, maintenance and general information

CAUTION
Wiring of gate operators must conform to NFPA and NEC standards and comply with all local codes.
When the installation is compliant and complete, turn on AC power at the source and at the control box.
For Variable Frequency (VF) operators, make sure the connection wires match the voltage found on the
operator’s nameplate.
In-Field Connections: HydraSwing operators are eld re-congurable for 1Ø or 3Ø, 208/230VAC input power
without changing the VFD. However, if reconguring from 208/230VAC to 460/480VAC the VFD Motor
Controller in a 208/230VAC unit must be replaced with a VFD Motor Controller manufactured for the higher
(460/480VAC) voltage input. Any electrical damage occurring to the operator will not be covered by the Warranty.
HydraSwing operators CANNOT be connected to 115/120VAC, 1Ø power or 575V, 3Ø power. If any attempts
are made to do so, serious injury and possible electrical shock may result. Any electrical damage occurring to the
operator will not be covered by the Warranty.

Replace Vent Plug with Breather Cap
Manual Hand Pump: 80F and 150 Models
.....
Failure to perform the following procedure will
cause premature pump shaft failure and void the
Warranty.
The gate operator has a vent plug that
keeps the hydraulic uid from spilling
during shipment. The vent plug must
be replaced by the breather cap before
operating the swing gate.
• Remove the vent plug and discard
it.
• Replace the vent plug with the
breather cap.
Breather cap
Vent plug
Manual Hand Pump: 40 and 40F Models
Before attempting a manual release, make sure the gate is not in motion and power is
disconnected (turned OFF).
CAUTION
Pushing the gate closed when the lever is in the released position may cause
an air pocket to form in the hydraulic cylinder and cause overow from the
reservoir. If you notice uid leakage, stop gate travel immediately and use
the hand pump.
Integrated manual release
Run mode
Brake manifold
Released position
When the hoses are installed, the gate may be opened
(cylinder retracted) manually by moving the release
lever as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: For models 80F and 150, DO NOT extend the cylinder
using the manual release lever. Refer to CAUTION below.
Outswing installation sites must pull the cylinder pin (disengages
the gate from the operator) or use the hand pump.
When the hoses are installed, a hand pump option kit can be used to manually operate the hydraulic mechanism that secures the
gate. In the event of a power failure, manual operation is achieved by accessing the hydraulics cabinet.
Follow the steps below to open or close the gate:
NOTE: An integrated manual release mechanism exists on the brake manifold assembly.
Open the Gate using the Hand Pump
1. Open the HydraSupply cabinet.
2. Turn the power switch OFF.
3. Locate the hand pump and the Knurled Knob on the Open Valve.
4. Firmly, pull and twist the knurled knob counterclockwise. Release the knob so that it
remains in the open position.
NOTE: If the valve re-seats itself, repeat the pull and twist in the opposite direction until the valve remains open.
5. Begin pumping the handle up and down. As hydraulic uid is pumped into the cylinder, it begins to move the gate.
6. Continue pumping until the gate reaches full open position.
7. Turn the knurled knob so it springs back to the closed position.
Close the Gate using the Hand Pump
1. Check that the knurled knob is in the closed position. Begin pumping the handle up and down. The gate slowly closes with
the pumping motion.
2. The gate will maintain its position whenever you stop pumping.
3. Continue pumping until the gate reaches the full closed position.
