Smart DC Controller Installation Instructions
The following instructions are intended to assist the user in replacing the Smart DC Controller (SDC) in HySecurity
electromechanical gate operators. Please read all assembly instructions before installing the kit.
REQUIRED TOOLS
Phillips head screwdriver
Needle nose pliers
Always ensure operator rmware is updated to
latest available version. The latest available version
is at www.hysecurity.com/contact-us/technical-
support/operator-software/ or by naviagting the
HySecurity website by clicking:
TechSupport Resources Operator Software
Current Operator Software Versions
UL 325 - 2018 requires that gate operators monitor
external entrapment protection sensors. Affects
all HySecurity gate operators manufactured
beginning in 2016.
CAUTION
Remember the operator may have unique user
& installer menu settings on the existing board.
Prior to replacing the SDC board, compare
the programmed settings that appear in the
existing board’s display to the default settings
shown in the "Smart DC Controller Worksheet"
on page 2 and note any changes. If you have
a bi-parting gate system, be sure the software
version in both operators is identical.
COPY USER & INSTALLER MENU SETTINGS
Examples of the settings that need to be
reprogrammed when you replace an SDC board
include: Build Year, Operator Type, Usage Class,
Gate Handing and Learn Limits. Other settings
may include Gate Weight, Close Timer, and
accessory congurations. The operator can be
reprogrammed on site by entering the User or
Installer Menu via the Menu buttons or using
S.T.A.R.T. software and a laptop PC to save/load
existing settings. If you need more information,
see "Technical Support" on page 1.
Create a backup copy of the gate operator
congurations, using one of two methods:
z Use a PC laptop and S.T.A.R.T. with a USB cable
(Type A to Type B).
z Use the "Smart DC Controller Worksheet" on
page 2. Go through each menu item and
write the number that appears in the display
into the chart’s column titled, “Display Setting.”
TWO METHODS TO RECORD USER &
INSTALLER MENU SETTINGS
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
For technical support, call your installer or
authorized HySecurity distributor. Obtain the serial
number of your operator before calling. For the
name of a distributor near you, contact HySecurity

REPLACING THE SMART DC CONTROLLER
To replace a SDC board, take the following steps:
1. Back up (make a copy) of the existing board’s menu
settings. See "www.hysecurity.com/gatesafety" on
page 1 and "Smart DC Controller Worksheet"
on page 2.
2. Turn OFF power to the Control Box (both AC & DC
switches).See Figure 3.
3. Use tape to identify the various accessory
connections and then disconnect all accessory
cables attached to the board. See Figure 4.
4. Disconnect all harness connectors and any
HY-5A or HY-5B vehicle loop detectors. Use
needle nose pliers to crimp the HY-5A or HY-5B
standoffs and then push the standoff through
the mounting hole. See Figure 4.
5. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the
seven screws from the board and three screws
at the top of the control box. Set the Smart
DC Controller board and the ten screws aside.
See Figure 4.
6. Note the orientation of the replacement
board and align the holes with the mounting
standoffs. Secure the board using the screws
removed in Step 5.
NOTICE
Tighten the three screws on top of the control
box rst, then tighten the remaining screws
that secure the board.
7. Reattach all accessories, harness connectors,
and HY-5A or HY-5B vehicle detectors to their
proper locations on the replacement Smart
DC Controller board. Make sure all jumpers
are wired correctly. See Figure 4.

DANGER
Failure to select the correct operator type
(OT) can result in gate operator malfunction
which has the potential to cause serious injury
or death due to the improper operation of
the gate.
