Important safetY InformatIon
WARNING
Read all the product safety information prior to installation. Automatic gate operators move the gate with high
force and can cause serious injury and death! Make sure the automatic gate operator is installed to reduce the
risks of entrapment. Verify the gate operator is installed to comply with all safety standards and local and federal
regulations.
Understand that you as the site designer, installer, maintenance crew, or owner/user must consider the risks
associated with gate operators. Be sure to take responsibility, read, and follow the Important Safety Information
in this manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use. Installers,
maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety requirements found in the HySecurity
product manuals.
It is important that only qualied installers handle the installation of the HySecurity equipment and gate operator.
A “qualied” installer has one of the following:
• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment
• Proof of attending a HySecurity Technical Training seminar within the past three years
• Signicant manufacturer endorsements of technical aptitude in gate operator installation and operation
Underwriter Laboratories (UL) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are responsible for
current safety standards and regulations regarding automatic vehicular gate operators. To pass certication, all
aspects of gate operator and gate installation must comply with the appropriate safety standards.
For the most up-to-date ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards, refer to www.astm.org.
For UL 325 Safety Standards, refer to www.ul.com.
www.hysecurity.com Safety D0559 Rev. A 3
WARNING
A moving gate or barrier arm, bollard, or wedge can cause serious injury or death.
To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Read the gate operator’s product manual and review all the
product labels and literature prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the automatic gate operator.
2. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio
transmitters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate or gate operators.
3. Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE
MOVING GATE. Start the gate operator only when a gate’s travel path is clear.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an
object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate
operator. Perform routine tests of the entrapment protection sensors, such as photo eyes and gate edges.
Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
5. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the product manuals. Have a qualied service person make
repairs to gate hardware and replace batteries in accessory or entrapment sensory devices on a regular
basis.
7. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance. Make sure a
separate walk-through entrance is nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is designated and signs
direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate.
8. Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate or barrier gate/operator so they
are clearly visible from both the secure and public sides. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325
compliance.
Safety - Additional Installer Responsibility
• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. For all gate operators other than Crash-rated, refer to
Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class in this product manual. Install the operator only
when the gate operator class is correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the junction box.
• Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards which include:
All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate’s base support to a minimum
height of 6 feet (183 cm) above the ground. This must prevent a sphere of 2¼-inches (57 mm) in
diameter from passing through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the
gate’s open position.
Physical stops must exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and, for
slide gates, guard posts must be installed to prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller
failure.
4 D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
Safety - Installer’s Responsibility, continued
• Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate or barrier gate in both directions. Make sure it
is level and moves freely. A gate or barrier gate that moves easily reduces strain on operator components.
Gravity should play no part in the opening or closing of a slide gate.
• Never over-tighten a clutch or pressure relief valve to compensate for a stiff or damaged gate.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.
• Reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path by making sure the gate is installed in a
location which ensures the required clearance between the gate and adjacent structures when opening
or closing. On slide gates, minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
• Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate. Note that swing gates cannot open
into public areas.
• Install external entrapment protection sensors so pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both
directions of gate travel and all hazard areas are fully protected. On hydraulic gates, set the pressure
relief valve at the lowest allowable setting that will reliably operate the gate. The pressure relief valve
controls the applied force of the operator and the sensitivity of the inherent entrapment sensor (IES).
Note that no IES exists in the StrongArm operator.
• Never disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer. This buzzer provides an alert that the gate is about to
move.
• Mount access control devices beyond reach of the gate. The control devices that operate the gate must:
Be located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of the gate.
Be mounted beyond 6 feet (183 cm) of the gate, to prevent users from touching or accessing the gate
while operating the controls. People attempting to access the controls by reaching through or around
the gate can be seriously injured or killed by the moving gate.
Incorporate a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
Connect radio and other remote access (non-resetting controls) to the RADIO OPTIONS terminal.
• Open and close the gate to conrm that it was properly installed and to ensure reduced risk of
entrapment. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety Standards.
Have a qualied technician test the gate monthly.
• When you complete the installation, demonstrate the safety features and operation of the gate operator
to the end user:
Clearly explain and demonstrate the consequences of removing or defeating any of the safety
features.
Remove the operator cover(s), and then turn the power on and off.
Manually release the gate. (Use the manual release only when the gate is NOT moving.)
Use the Emergency Stop Button. (If an emergency stop button is not available, show the user where
the Stop button is located on the gate operator.)
NOTE: Gate operator instructions must be given to the owner per UL 325 Safety Standards.
Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business les.

Safety - Owner/User Responsibility
CAUTION
As the owner/user, you are responsible for the correct and safe installation, operation and maintenance of the
SlideDriver gate operator. It is of the utmost importance that you read and follow the specic instructions and
precautions found in the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION addressed in this manual. In addition, you must
adhere to the safety standards of applicable federal, state, and local safety regulations, industry standards, and/
or procedures.
NOTICE: For installations outside the United States, make sure that you follow the applicable international,
regional, and local safety standards.
• Automatic gates are for vehicular use only; provide and maintain walkways and signs to direct pedestrians
to a separate walk-through entrance.
• An automatic gate can start at any time without warning; always keep people away from the gate area.
• Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep all remote controls, especially radio
transmitters, away from children. Do not allow children to play on or around the gate, gate area, or
gate operators.
• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually operate the gate.
• WARNING signs supplied with the gate operator must remain installed and clearly visible on both sides
of the gate. The signs are required to maintain UL 325 compliance.
• Do not physically disable the warning buzzer and NEVER disconnect or cut its wires. The buzzer provides
compliance with the Manual on Uniform Trafc Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. Disabling the
warning buzzer may increase the risk of death or serious injury.
• Do not remove entrapment devices or any other safety features.
• Have a professional gate installer routinely inspect the gate hardware and test the entrapment protection
sensors and overall gate operation. Have a qualied service person make repairs to gate hardware and
equipment to keep the gate running smoothly.
Hazardous materIals and proper dIsposal
Be aware of the international, federal, and local codes in your area and how best to handle hazardous waste
materials.
The pump pack uid, found in all hydraulic HySecurity operators, can be recycled. Gear oil, found in HySecurity
electromechanical gate operators, can also be recycled. If the uids are mixed or contaminated with any solvents
or other chemicals, they become hazardous waste. Hazardous waste requirements for storage and disposal must
be followed.
If the gate operator has a battery backup system, the batteries contain materials that are considered hazardous
to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. In the U.S.A., refer to federal EPA
guidelines for proper hazardous waste disposal.
6 D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
IdentIfYIng gate operator CategorY and usage Class
The SlideDriver operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the horizontal slide, vertical lift and
vertical pivot category for gate operators. Its usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate
services.
Four different vehicular usage classes are dened by UL 325:
Class I
Class I: Intended for use in garages or parking areas associated with a residence
of one to four single families.
Class II
Class II: Intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multifamily housing units (ve or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores
or other buildings accessible by or intended to service the general public.
Class III
Class IV
Class III: Intended for use in an industrial location or building such as a factory
or loading dock or other locations NOT accessible by or intended to service the
general public.
Class IV: Intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building such as an
airport security area or other restricted access locations, not servicing the general
public, in which unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security
personnel.

CHoosIng seCondarY entrapment proteCtIon
CAUTION
The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with
the SlideDriver operator to meet UL compliance. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described
below. For a complete listing of the requirements, refer to UL 325 Safety Standards.
NOTICE: SlideDriver is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES) that complies with
UL 325. Any impediment to gate travel causes the gate to stop and reverse.
Usage Class Primary Type Device Secondary Type Device
Class I, II, III A B1, B2, C, or D
Class IV A B1, B2, C, D, or E
To comply with UL 325, refer to the chart and take the following steps:
1. Select the Usage Class according to the gate’s locale and purpose.
2. The required UL 325 primary Type A sensor is an integral part of the SlideDriver system.
3. Based on the gate’s usage class, choose Secondary Type Devices: B1, B2, C, D, or E.
• To comply using B1 - install non-contact sensors (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent).
• To comply using B2 - install contact sensors (edge sensor device or the equivalent).
• To comply using a Type D device requires a CONSTANT HOLD push-button station. This CONSTANT
HOLD push-button station must be the only device that opens and closes the gate. It can only be used
where the gate and push button station will be monitored by personnel 24 hours a day in full view of
the gate area. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) must not
be employed. A Warning placard stating, “WARNING - Moving Gate has the Potential of Inicting
Injury or Death - Do Not Start the Gate Unless the Path is Clear” must be placed adjacent to the gate
operator controls.
While compliance is possible with Type C, which is a low force limiting clutch, the SlideDriver operator does not
utilize a clutch, therefore this option is not available.
Similar compliance issues exist with a Type E device (audio warn before operate alarm). A Type E device is
permitted as a means of secondary entrapment protection by UL 325 in Class IV applications, but it is not
recommended by HySecurity because a buzzer warns, but cannot protect against possible entrapment.
HySecurity highly recommends, even for Class IV use, that secondary entrapment protection (edge or photoeye sensor) devices be installed to detect possible entrapment.

Two truss head screws secure each limit ramp to the drive rail. The bolts
are spaced about 4 inches (10 cm) apart.
The limit switch must be set ⅜-inch (9 mm) from the base of the drive
rail. A screw on the limit switch allows for slight adjustments in height. If
XtremeDrive wheels are used, you will need to raise the drive rail
¼ to ½ inch (3 to 13 mm) along the gate uprights and the entire
drive rail path. The limit switch placement will need to be adjusted
accordingly.
All the limit ramps are the same length.
NOTE: For a 50VF-series SlideDriver, you will need to order four (4)
Slow Down Limit Ramp Kits.
Be sure to securely fasten all limit ramps to the underside of the
drive rail when installing a 50VF-series operator.

DANGER
How to wire the operator is presented in the Installation Instructions, but detailed information about the earth
and equipment ground, wiring to AC power and the availability of UPS systems are described in this section.
Supplemental documents to this section include:
• DC Power Supply supplemental manual
InstallIng tHe eartH ground
An earth ground refers to the grounding rod and accompanying equipment ground which need to be installed to
safeguard against potential electrical shock and damage to personnel and equipment.
The potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, fences and gate operators. National Electric
Code (NEC) - Article 250 requires a separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.
HySecurity recommends grounding the operator with a separate earth ground rod (or a similar device
in the case of crash products) to shield the operator against electromagnetism and other electrical signals that
may cause, erratic operation with, or damage to, the Smart Touch Controller and other electrical parts.
For earth grounding requirements in the U.S.A.,
refer to the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) 780 - Standard for the Installation of
Lightning Protection Systems. Highlights of the
standard include:
• The ground rod must be UL listed copperclad steel, solid copper, hot-dipped
galvanized steel, or stainless steel. Minimum
requirements: ½ inch (13 mm) diameter and
8 feet (244 cm) in length.
• The ground rod is driven into the earth
(refer to local codes for proper depth
requirements).
• The ground rod is electrically bonded to the
chassis with a single length of un-spliced
6AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91 cm)
long. Due to the large concrete foundation
on crash products, make the necessary
adjustments to accommodate for earth
ground requirements.
• Local jurisdictions may impose other
requirements above the NEC, Article 250 and NFPA 780. Consult
the local codes and regulations regarding requirements in your area.

Site Considerations
WARNING
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 wiring 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” on page 16.
• 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 20-amp circuit (minimum) protected with a 20-amp Inverse Time Breaker is provided for all
AC power connections.
• Verify that the operator is electrically grounded per NFPA 780 and NEC Article 250, and local codes.
wIrIng aC power
The SlideDriver has separate Installation Instructions that explain how to connect to AC power. For reference
purposes, the same information is provided below.
In-rush Current: The current needed to start the electric motor spinning in the proper direction (CCW). It may
take as much as 6 to 9 times the run current to start one of the heavy duty operators.
NOTE: Use a 20A (minimum) slow kick (thermal) circuit breaker for all AC motors.
Size the primary wires. Consider the voltage, horsepower, and length of the wire run from the main power panel.
Make sure you have the proper voltage and conversion of voltage taps at the motor and transformer.
DANGER
Turn OFF AC power at the source (circuit breaker panel) before accessing the wires in the SlideDriver.
Follow facility Lock Out/Tag Out procedures. Make sure all power switches are in the OFF position. Follow
all electrical code standards and regulations.

wIre sIzIng and runs
Supplying a gate operator with the correct electrical service is crucial to the performance of the operator and
the life of its electrical components. If the wire size used is too small, the voltage loss, especially during motor
startup, will prevent the motor from attaining its rated horsepower. The percentage of horsepower lost is far
greater than the percentage of voltage loss.
A voltage loss can 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 lost performance resulting from undersized wires,
except to replace them. Be sure to choose a sufcient wire size at initial installation to avoid costly rewiring. Refer
to “Wire Sizing and Runs” on page 16.
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. A 20A circuit
(protected with a 20A Inverse Time Breaker) should be provided, at minimum.
Always connect electrical power and ground the operator in accordance with the NFPA 780 & NEC, Article 430
and Article 250. Research and adhere to other local codes that may apply.

Performance of 50VF-series Operators on 1 and 3 Phase, 50 or 60Hz
A HySecurity 50VF2, 50VF-EFO, or 50VF3 operator can operate on a wide variety of incoming power.
• 50Hz/60Hz operation with no changes or reconnection
• 1Ø or 3Ø operation by eld rewiring and reconnection
• The incoming voltage must match the operator nameplate. Although the electric motor can be
reconnected, a different VFD (motor controller inside the grey control box) is required between 460V and
208V/230V.
• Any AC powered peripherals such as locks, card readers and other devices need to be checked for
compatibility.
• The electric motors in all VF2 and VF3 operators are 3Ø/60Hz motors and are connected for the voltage
shown on the operator’s nameplate. (208V/230V or 460V)
www.hysecurity.com Power D0559 Rev. A 19
How is this done?
WARNING
WARNING
• The VF controller in the operator is rated to operate on input frequencies ranging from 48Hz through
62Hz on 1Ø or 3Ø power (a jumper connection is required for phase change) but only on either 460VAC
or 208V/230V. (A change between 460V and 230V, either direction, requires replacing the VF controller).
• The control transformer in the operator is tapped for multiple voltages and rated for 50/60Hz operation.
• The VF controller rst recties and lters the incoming power to DC, which has no frequency or phase. It
then creates 3Ø variable voltage/variable frequency AC for the motor from the DC.
• Depending on the model, the VF controller ramps the motor voltage and frequency from 0V@0Hz at
start, to either 208/230 or 480 VAC @ 60Hz for full speed. This allows use of 60Hz motors regardless of the
incoming frequency.
• Since the input voltage/frequency is converted to DC to begin with, there is absolutely no relationship
between the input frequency/phase and frequency/phase of the power supplied to the motor. The input
could be 1Ø or 3Ø, 48Hz or 62Hz and the controller/motor combination wouldn’t care. It will create the
ramped 3Ø voltage and frequency for which it is programmed.
NOTE: SlideDriver 50VF operators connected for 1Ø operation will draw more current because the utility power
to run the machine will be carried to the operator on two wires instead of the three used for 3Ø operators. Be
sure to allow for this difference when specifying wire size.
In-Field Connections
SlideDriver 50VF-series operators are eld re-connectable for 1Ø or 3Ø, 208/230VAC input power without
changing the VFD.
SlideDriver 50VF-series operators CANNOT be connected to 120V, 1Ø power or 575V, 3Ø power. If any attempts
are made to do so, serious injury, electrical shock, or death may result. Any electrical damage occurring to the
operator will not be covered by the Limited Warranty.
SlideDriver 50VF-series operators are NOT eld recongurable between 208/230VAC and 480VAC power. The
VFD Motor Controller in a 208/230VAC unit must be replaced with a VFD Motor Controller manufactured for the
higher (480VAC) voltage input.

When placing the operator into service, pressure relief valve
adjustments are required! To provide instruction during
installation, a cautionary yellow tag is wire tied to every pump
pack. The same instructions are provided in this section.
Pressure relief valves differ depending on the model.
Tools Needed: 5/32 " hex key, ½" and 9/16 " box end wrenches.
NOTICE: Pressure relief valve adjustments establish the threshold for the inherent entrapment sensor (IES). The
optimal pressure setting produces uniform gate travel and trips the IES when the gate encounters an obstruction.

Make sure the gate is properly installed and aligned before performing the following steps. Take precautionary
measures to keep the gate’s travel path clear. The gate will be moving while you adjust the pressure relief valve.
DO NOT attempt to adjust the pressure relief valve unless you are an experienced hydraulic gate
operator installer. Incorrect pressure settings can cause injury and even death!
1. Expose several threads on the Pressure Relief Valve by loosening the locknut with a 9/1 6" box end wrench.
2. Depending on the model, insert a 5/3 2" hex key or use a ½" box end wrench to turn the Adjustment Screw.
3. Use the keypad to cycle the gate open or close and, while the motor is running, turn the Adjustment
Screw clockwise (CW) to raise the pressure. The motor runs for a few seconds, stops, and then enters safe
mode. SAFE appears on the display.
4. Press RESET and repeat step 3 until gate travel is reliably consistent without entering SAFE mode.
5. To lock in the pressure setting, hold the Adjustment Screw with a hex key or wrench and tighten the
locknut.

tHe InHerent entrapment sensor (Ies)
The IES on HySecurity hydraulic operators is a primary entrapment device that is required by UL 325 as a type “A”
detection device. It is tripped through software programming OR hydraulic pressure settings. It does not function
solely on its own accord and must be connected to the Smart Touch Controller. The sensitivity and response of
the IES when tripped is factory set, but can be adjusted through the Installer Menu items:
• SE (Inherent Sensor sensitivity)
• SS (Inherent Sensor function)
• SR (IES reverse to open)

Description
Adjusts the sensitivity of the internal inherent entrapment sensor (IES).
Available settings are 1 to 9 with 9 being the least sensitive. HySecurity
strongly recommends that you avoid setting the IES sensitivity higher
than 6.
Note: Adjust pressure relief valve on hydraulic operators for security
and gate impact purposes prior to changing IES sensitivity. Refer to
the operator’s manual for steps involved in adjusting the pressure relief
valve setting.

SR 0 (FULL OPEN)
REVERSAL LOGIC
0 = stop, reverse for 2s
1 = stop only
0 = IES reverses full open
1 = 2 second reversal only
In a Usage Class IV environment, the operator can be set to stop the
gate and not reverse gate travel after and IES trip.
The default setting is a 2-second duration reversal if the inherent sensor
is triggered. The optional setting of 0 will cause the gate to reopen fully
if triggered while closing.
Manufacturer’s responsibility
• Build into the gate operator a means of detecting an obstruction or an inherent entrapment detection
device (UL 325 30A.1.1)
• Accept input from external entrapment detection devices
• Provide warning signs and an installation manual which, if followed, will result in a UL 325 compliant
installation
Pressure Relief Valve – All Hydraulic Operators:
• Limits hydraulic system pressure
• By-passes uid to tank when set-point exceeded
• By-passed uid triggers the IES
NOTICE: Pressure relief valve adjustments establish the threshold for the Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES). The
optimal pressure setting produces uniform gate travel and trips the IES when the gate encounters an obstruction.

modBus rtu In slIdedrIver 50vf-serIes
In the 50VF series SlideDriver™, a communication protocol allows the Smart Touch
Controller to constantly monitor the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and record
events in the STC history log. The history log is easily accessible using the HySecurity
S.T.A.R.T. program and a PC laptop computer.
With the ModBus RTU:
• Reduction in eld calls is likely because the STC resets VFD faults or error
codes upon receiving a new command.
• Quality issues with the site power are controlled better which results in less
intermittent operator problems.
• Smoother operator acceleration and deceleration enhances gate travel.
All 50VF2-3 series SlideDrivers shipped after January 1, 2012 have the new ModBus
cable and RTU communication protocol installed. If you need replacement parts for
your existing 50VF series operators, be sure to have the serial number of the
operator available when you order parts.
If you install a new 50VF2/3 operator, the speed is factory set at 2 foot per second (2 ft/s).
To change the speed, you will need to access the Installer Menu.
• SP 2 sets the 50VF2/3 speed to approximately 2 ft/s.
• SP 3 sets the 50VF2/3 speed to approximately 3 ft/s.
Refer to “Emergency Fast Operate (EFO) in
SlideDriver 50VF-series” on page 28.
• SP 0 and SP 1 are not used. (If you change the setting to 0 or 1, the operator will
not run.)

the display which indicates you have accessed the Installer Menu.
4. Press Next until the Emergency Close (OC 0)appears on the display.
5. Press Select and OC starts blinking, which indicates the display can be
changed.
6. Press Next or Previous to change the display to OC 1.
7. Press Select to accept the entry. (The display characters stop blinking.)
8. Press Program to exit programming mode and return to Run mode.
A Run mode gate status appears (example, GATE OPEN).
Installing a Push-Button Device for EFC
The Emergency Fast Close on the 50VF-series is designed for a
constant hold function, such as a push-button device that is held
for the duration of gate travel. To operate properly, the device must
be connected to Terminal 23 on the Smart Touch Controller and a
+24VDC terminal on the Power Module.
When the connections are made, a constant hold signal transmitted
to the Smart Touch Controller causes the Emergency Fast Close
function to close the gate at a higher speed than usual, and photo
eyes, vehicle loop inputs, and other safety devices are ignored.

HYSECURITY
GATE STOPPED
Highly sophisticated software provides three different modes of operation: run, program, and fault. How to
navigate using the Smart Touch Controller (STC) keypad, interpret status display codes and program the
operator is found in this section.
CAUTION
Keep your operator current with the latest software version. Use of HyNet™ and other accessories requires
software version h4.35 or higher.
InItIal setup
Once you have completed the installation, attached the wired accessories and turned the power ON, you’re
ready to program the operator. Two different approaches exist:
• Connect a laptop computer to the serial (RS-232) port, check for
the most current software version and then set the operator menu
congurations via the START software.
NOTE: Use a laptop computer at your place of business to conveniently
download the free START software and most current software version
from www.hysecurity.com before heading out into the eld. This makes
it easy to adjust settings using a laptop.
• Manually navigate through the User and Installer Menus using the
STC keypad. The instructions for performing this second option are
provided in this section.
understandIng tHe dIsplaY and KeYpad
The STC display and keypad provide access to the operator’s sophisticated
software and functionality.
Three different operational modes exist:
• Run Mode - gate is operational, awaiting commands.
• Program Mode - motor disengages and operator commands are
ignored. Data entry, menu navigation, and menu selection can be
accomplished via the keypad or through a START software connection
using the RS-232 port.
• Fault Mode - alerts, faults, or errors appear on the display. Some errors
or faults can be reset with the Reset button while more serious faults
require additional troubleshooting. Faults indicate a need for diagnosis
and resolution. Refer to Troubleshooting on page 73.
The keypad lets you navigate, change, or clear the information in the display
menus. The singular use of these keys is dependent on the operator mode.The
buttons with text above and below have two functions. Use these buttons to enter
operating commands or navigate through the User and Installer Menus.

This menu item only appears if the operator is DC
powered. The setting congures how the gate
functions when AC power fails. For more information,
refer to the supplement provided with the DC Power
Supply operator.
A setting of zero, congures radio input for open
only. Setting 1 adds the capability for radio input to
close the gate, but only when it is fully open.
Controls the warn-before-operate buzzer and can be
congured three ways:
Set to 0: Buzzer is disabled. The buzzer will still beep
if alerts, faults, errors, or entrapment occur.
Set to 1: Buzzer beeps for 3 seconds before gate
moves and continues through entire length of travel.
Set to 2: Buzzer beeps for 3s before gate moves and
continues for 2s of travel.
Set to 3: Available on barrier operators only.
Buzzer beeps when gate starts to move and
continues throughout gate travel.
Intended for highly secure facilities.
Set to 1, the operator sounds the 3-second “warn
before operate” buzzer alarm and initiates a closure
if the gate is forced open and the closed limit switch
disengages. The motor starts to secure the gate. If
the gate does not fully close within 4s, the motor
turns off and the buzzer sounds for 30 seconds. The
display shows ALERT 1 - FORCED OPEN.
Set to 1, the operator sounds the 3-second “warn
before operate” buzzer algate and initiates an open
command if the gate is forced, or drifts, off the open
limit switch. The motor starts to reopen the gate. The
motor runs for a maximum of 4s and, if the gate is
not fully open at the end of this period, the buzzer
sounds for 10s. The display shows ALERT 2 - DRIFT
CLOSED.
Set to 1, the operator serves as an aide in photo
eye transmitter/receiver alignment. The buzzer
chirps once when the emitter and receiver are not
aligned. When the emitter and receiver are aligned,
the buzzer chirps twice. If they go out of alignment
again, the buzzer will chirp once. The Alignment
Mode is reset with a close-limit input or by pressing
the Reset button.
NOTE: If the operator doesn’t run when the power
switch is initially turned ON, check the alignment of
the photo eye and all the photo eye connections.
To adjust the hour, minute, day, or month to a
different time zone, select 1. Once the clock is set,
the display returns to the 0 setting. It is important
to adjust the clock for the operator’s time zone,
because signicant events are time and date
stamped which provides historical operation data
retrievable through S.T.A.R.T. and a PC laptop.

settIng tHe Close tImer
As an added security measure, set the Close Timer. This ensures that the Security gate closes automatically within
a reasonable time frame, after all loops are cleared.
The Close Timer assigns how many seconds will pass before the gate operator initiates closure of a fully opened
gate after all open commands and reversing sensor inputs have ceased and loops cleared. Every gate operator
needs to have the close timer set to a specic number of seconds (for example, 5 seconds) unless a hard-wired
closing device is connected to the unit, such as a “hold to close” push button station.
To adjust the time (1 to 99 seconds) it takes before the operator initiates gate closure, take the following steps:
1. At a gate status display, press the Menu button twice. This accesses the User Menu and the Close Timer
display appears.
NOTE: If you want gate personnel to operate the gate with the Hold to Close feature found in some push
button stations, then set the Hold to Close menu item to 1. When the Hold to Close menu item is active
(set to 1), the Close Timer menu item is unavailable.
2. Use the Select, and then Next or Previous buttons to navigate and change the number of seconds
appearing on the display. Refer to Menu Mode Navigation on page 36.
3. To exit the User Menu, press the Menu button. The gate status appears in the display indicating you have
returned to Run Mode.
www.hysecurity.com Display & Menu Options D0559 Rev. A 47
test tHe operator
Complete the installation by testing the operation of the gate.
NOTE: The operator must be turned on and in Run mode. A Run mode display appears on the STC. If a Run
mode status does not appear on the display, press Reset. If an error, alert, or fault appears on the display, refer to
the Troubleshooting section to learn how to clear the display and return to Run mode.
1. Press Open to open the gate.
2. Test the operator.
Cycle the gate a few times by pressing the Close and Open buttons.
If installed for emergency fast operation, test the EMERGENCY CLOSE using the constant hold
device. Observe the travel speed of the gate when you press and hold the Emergency Close button.
It will close a second or two faster than normal operation and ignore any photo eye, vehicle loop, or
other safety device inputs.
NOTE: If additional accessories are to be added, read about STC Inputs & Wiring on page 49.

HySecurity hydraulic gate operators provides a 2-wire, serial interface (RS-485 connection) which allows remote
access to one or more operators. With software protocols provided by HySecurity, bi-directional status updates
and control commands are easily integrated with a central controller (computer or server), which becomes the
primary (master) to the connected operators. Up to 31 physical operators can be polled from the central master
command station. Reset requests, gate control, gate status, and gate faults can be monitored and information
can be retrieved from the central command station.

user relaYs – programmIng proCedure
The Smart Touch Controller is able to interface with many types of
external devices through the use of three user programmable output
relays: two mechanical relays (User 1 and User 2), and one solid state
relay (User 3) which is used most often for connection to ashing
devices.
All of the user relay functions identied and described in the table
below are accessible in the Installer Menu
(R1 x, R2 x, R3 x) selections.
NOTE: A setting of zero disables a User Relay. The User Relays will operate normally to 18VDC. Below 18VDC,
alert notication occurs. On Crash products User 3 relay is unavailable. It is pre-wired for the LED lights.
Use the STC buttons to program the user relays according to the following steps:
1. Select the relay you wish to use through the Installer
Menu: Table 2 on page 42. For example:
R1 13 (RELAY LOGIC 1) or R2 15 (RELAY LOGIC 2).
2. Select the appropriate function (1 through 28) by
changing the display to the associated number listed in

1 Close limit output Output can be used as an interlock signal to another
operator’s interlock input, or simply to indicate that the gate
is secure. The relay is “off” when the gate is closed. The relay
energizes when the fully-closed limit is released. (Any open
command energizes the relay.)
2 Close limit pulse output Used in a sequenced system to command a second machine
to close. Generates a brief pulsed output that occurs when
the close limit is triggered.
3 Open limit output Indicates a full-open position. This output becomes active
when an open-limit is triggered and deactivates when the
open-limit is released or a close command is received.
4 Open limit pulse output Used in a sequenced gate system to command a second
machine to open. Generates a brief pulsed output that
occurs when the open limit is triggered.
5 Warn before/during operate output Controls an external warning device. This output operates at
the same time as the internal warn before operate buzzer.
6 Gate Lock output Controls external solenoid or magnetic locks. In both
directions of travel, this output is activated about 7/10ths of
a second before the operator starts moving the gate and
remains active while moving. Output remains active, for a

veHICle deteCtor logIC
HySecurity recommends that vehicle detectors be used for free exit and obstruction sensing logic only. The
exception is in parking or barrier arm applications where detectors may also be used to close the gate. In
applications employing our swing, vertical lift, or sliding gate operators, closing logic cannot be used except
when the anti-tailgate logic is employed.
Vehicle detector functions (OR IR, HD, DL ) are congurable through the Installer Menu: Table 2 on page 42.
TailGate Alert
User Relay 11 is available for notication devices. If a vehicle is tailgating, and a asher or audio device is
connected to User Relay 11, the relay will be triggered by the tailgating vehicle crossing the loops.
Anti-TailGate Mode Selection
The Detector Logic (DL) menu item, found in the Installer Menu: Table 2 on page 42, lets you set the anti-
tailgate mode. This menu item works in conjunction with the Close Timer (CT) when the vehicle detector is
triggered. If you plan to use the anti-tailgate feature, check the time delay aspect of the Close Timer (CL) setting.
The four selectable modes for DL are as follows:
Mode 1 (Default): An input from either the Free Exit, Outside Obstruction Loop, Inside Obstruction Loop, or the
Center Loop will hold the gate open, reset the close timer, and ignore all close inputs. The close timer begins to
count down only after all vehicle detectors are clear and no other open command is present.
Mode 2: The close timer does not wait for vehicle detectors to clear, but instead it starts counting down as soon
as the open limit is reached.
Mode 3: When both inside and outside obstruction loops are simultaneously active, the gate will close
immediately once all vehicle detectors are no longer triggered (vehicle loops clear) unless another open
command is present.
Mode 4: Full anti-tailgate logic includes Mode 3 functions. In addition, the gate will stop during the opening
cycle when both OOLD & IOLD are tripped simultaneously. When the OOLD & IOLD loops are cleared, the gate
closes immediately. The OOLD & IOLD can be individually set so that, if tripped while closing, the gate may
either, pause only or reverse to reopen. The free exit detector input is ignored while the gate is closing.
NOTICE: Using any vehicle detector logic mode other than Mode 1 (default) requires that all the loops be placed
with the geometry and spacing as shown in the layout drawings on page 70 and 71. The detector Modes 3
and 4 require use of separate inner and outer obstruction detectors.

veHICle deteCtor InstallatIon: HY-5a
The Smart Touch Controller provides an interface for up to four different vehicle detector functions.
Standard box type 11 pin (24 VDC or 24 VAC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner, but
HySecurity HY-5A mini-detector modules plug directly into the Smart Touch Controller, making eld installation
much faster and enhancing performance. The detector communicates with the Smart Touch Controller
microprocessor to achieve the following benets:
• Loop frequency is automatically set and monitored by the Smart Touch Controller.
• Best operating frequency for each loop is automatically selected.
• Cross-talk between multiple loops is impossible.
• Very low power draw, which is important for maximum UPS capability during a power failure or for solar
applications.
• Loop frequency and call strength can be reported on the Smart Touch Controller display.
• Loop malfunctions are stored by the Smart Touch Controller and appear in code on the display.
NOTE: It is not mandatory to use two separate vehicle detectors for inner and outer obstruction detection;
however, the benets of using the two HY-5A detectors are great. Several new features are possible, such as
second vehicle tailgating detection, loitering alert, and selectable non-reversing options.

HY-5A Vehicle Detector Module
www.hysecurity.com STC Inputs & Wiring D0559 Rev. A 59
Four vehicle detector inputs (terminals: 8, 10, 11, and 12) exist on the Smart Touch Controller, as well as the four
direct plug ins for the HY-5A modules. Refer to Overview of the STC and Power Module on page 50.
The vehicle detector input functions are as follows:
• Free Exit Loop Detector - Opens a fully closed gate.
• Outside Obstruction Loop Detector (Out Obs Loop) - Triggered by the outside (public side) vehicle
detector loop
• Inside Obstruction Loop Detector (In Obs Loop) - Triggered by the inside (secure side) vehicle detector
loop
• Center/Reset/Shadow Loop Detector - On barrier arm gates, prevents closure when active. On swing
gates, prevents gate from opening or closing when the vehicle detector is active.
NOTE: Use of any combination of HY-5A detectors and box detectors is acceptable. On occasion, multiple
obstruction detectors may be mandatory. For example, an area greater than 200 square feet (61 square meters)
of vehicle loop cannot be connected to any one detector because the sensitivity becomes inadequate.
ConneCtIng HY-5a veHICle deteCtors
NOTE: Refer to the installation instructions provided with the HY-5A vehicle detectors. It provides detailed
illustrations and instructions that are not found in the steps below.
A quick overview on how to install the HY-5A Vehicle Detector modules, one at a time, follows:
1. Turn off the AC power switch on the Control Box.
Squared off end of
standoff
2. Insert the locking end of the two white plastic standoffs into the
mounting holes on the detector.
3. Plug the detector into the appropriate socket along the right
edge of the Smart Touch Controller. Be careful to align the six
detector pins into the socket correctly (the screws for tightening
the terminals should face toward the board), and then snap the
standoffs into the holes in the control box.
4. Route the loop wires through the holes provided in the control
box and connect the loop leads to the two terminals on the HY-5A
detector. Tighten the terminal screws securely.
5. To enable the detector, turn on power. The detector will
immediately tune if it is connected to a vehicle loop. Make sure no
cars or other metal objects are over the loop.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for each HY-5A detector.
7. If the detector module is unplugged after it is enabled, a communications alert (ALERT 10) will be
triggered. If the fault is not resolved, an error message, ERROR 3 “Detector Failed” is displayed.
NOTE: If there is any detector fault, the gate operator functions as if the detector is triggered.

8. The Smart Touch Controller automatically governs frequency selection for all HY-5A detector modules.
This simplies installation and guarantees that there is no cross-talk between multiple loops. The

increased unless the loop is large or there are multiple loops connected to one detector.
NOTE: Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of loop area to one detector.
If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary dial.

pHoto eYes (non-ContaCt) InstallatIon
Plan to integrate photo eyes (photoelectric sensors) in your site plan. Photo eyes are wired to the STC and
require low voltage conduit to the operator and power supply. If your site conditions require a battery-powered
transmitter, it can be ordered through your distributor.
Understand your site requirements and use the layout diagrams available in the appendix to determine the most
appropriate mounting positions for any additional photo eyes. The Smart Touch Controller has two photoelectric
sensor inputs (Photo eye open and Photo eye close).
If there are no other secondary external entrapment protection sensors (typically an edge sensor), then for slide
gates, swing gates or any site that must comply with UL 325 regulations, at least two photo eyes are required to
serve and reverse the gate in each direction of travel.
The two common photoelectric sensor types are thru-beam and retro-reective; each has its advantages. A
thru-beam sensor is generally more powerful and able to function reliably with dirty optics and in poor weather.
www.hysecurity.com STC Inputs & Wiring D0559 Rev. A 61
A retro-reective 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 less reliable in poor weather.
NOTE: In an outdoor environment because of reduced performance, avoid using a retro-reective device to span
a distance greater than 24 feet (7.3 meters).
Compatibility
The UL 325 standard requires that a photoelectric sensor be laboratory tested and “recognized” under UL 325.
In order to be compatible with all HySecurity operators, a photo eye must be rated to function from 24 VDC
source power.
Installation
Install additional photo eyes according to the following steps.
1. Locate the photo eye approximately 15 to 30 inches (38 to 76 cm) above the ground and as close to the
gate as possible. Refer to site layout below.
2. Mount the receivers on the left or right side of the gate operator.
3. Mount the emitters just beyond the travel of the gate in the fully-closed position.
NOTE: The installation locations 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) installing another photo eye
at a height of about 55 inches (140 cm) to detect semi (tractor- trailer) trucks.

Congure the photo eyes according to the following procedure.
1. If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate versus Dark Operate, select Light
Operate.
2. 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 because, when its in the Light Operate mode, the output
relay is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked.
NOTE: Some manufacturers label an output as NO (normally open), when it is actually an NC (normally closed)
contact.
If the photo eye has a solid-state output, you must choose a sinking-type connection.
Photo Eye Connections
Connect the three wires to the receiver and two wires
to the emitter according to the following procedure.
1. Obtain the +24 Volt source power at one of the
three spade-terminals on the power module.
2. Obtain the 24 Volt Common from screwterminals 14 or 15 (which are labeled Photo
Eye Power Common) on the Smart Touch
Controller.
Power Module
NOTE: The -24 Volt Photo Eye Power also
supplies the photo eye output Common.
Additional photo eye
3. Perform the following, as applicable:
connections
If the photo eye spans the road, connect
the NO or NC output to Terminal No. 19
on the Smart Touch Controller.
If the photo eye spans the gate’s open
storage area as in a slide gate scenario,
connect the NO or NC output to Terminal
No. 17 on the Smart Touch Controller. (Not
used on StrongArm M30/M50.)

Photo Eye Alignment
Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the center of the receiver
or reector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system, especially with retroreective photoelectric sensors. To that end, HySecurity has provided a unique feature that turns power on to the
photo eyes and causes a buzzer to chirp when the photo eye enters and exits alignment. Align the photo eyes
using this feature by taking the following steps:
1. Move the gate off (away from) the close limit.
2. Access the User Menu and select PE. Refer to User Menu: Table 1 on page 39.
3. Set the menu item PE 0 to PE 1.
4. More the photo eyes to align the emitter beam. The buzzer will chirp twice when the beam is broken and
once when remade.
5. When the buzzer chirps once, indicating the photo eyes are aligned, close the gate. When the close limit
is triggered, the menu item PE resets to 0.
Monitored Connection
A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operation of the photo eye prior to each gate
activation and prevents gate operation if any fault is present. The Installer Menu item PC 0 must be changed to
PC 1 to enable this feature.
Photo Eye Function
If the gate is stationary, a tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction. 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 ve seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a 2 second reversal of travel. Refer
to EC and EO in Installer Menu: Table 2 on page 42.

Dual Gate Systems
Conguring two or more operators to work together as an interlocked pair (Primary/Secondary or Sally Port) or
sequenced gate system is easy to do with the Smart Touch Controller. There is no need to order a special model
or any adapters. The area of the board marked Dual Gate employs a 3-wire RS-485 serial port for communication
between the operators.
ConneCtIng an InterloCKed paIr (dual gate)
The Smart Touch Controller (STC) provides dual gate connections and programming features to connect a pair
of gate operators in a Primary/Secondary or interlocked Sally Port conguration. The STC software establishes
the communication protocols when wiring the two gate operators. A Primary/Secondary pair of operators can be
set for different open/close timing sequences and Sally Port gates are often used at correctional facilities. In Sally
Port congurations, one operator cannot open unless the other is fully closed. To learn how to connect the wiring
between operators, review the wire diagram on the next page.
NOTE: The operators do not have to be of the same type, but both need to have the most current and up-todate software version installed on the Smart Touch Controller. A StrongArm M30/M50 can be interlocked with
a SlideDriver to provide both crash and personnel security. The STC software integrates seamlessly between
operators.
RS-485 communication is available for networked security systems. Refer to Integrating with Security Systems on
page 51 for additional information.
www.hysecurity.com Dual Gate Systems D0559 Rev. A 65
Dual Gate Wiring Connections
CAUTION
To connect an interlocked pair of gate operators, simply follow the steps below.
1. As shown in the Wire Diagram, connect a shielded communications cable to the DUAL GATE inputs in
each operator. The inputs are located near the base of the Smart Touch Controller. Be sure to connect the
wires in pairs to the same terminal ports (A-A, B-B, COM-COM) on both operators.
2. Attach a ring terminal to the shield wire and connect it to the Smart Touch Controller’s convenient ground
screw.
Connect the ground shield wire to only one operator, not both. Use only 18-20 gauge twisted and shielded triple
wire. To operate properly, both Smart Touch Controllers must be using the same software version.

Wire Diagram: Interlocked Pair of Operators using DUAL GATE Wiring
66 D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
Dual or Sequenced Gates: Power, Software & Accessory Requirements
When installing an interlocked pair, the following must be adhered to:
• An electrical conduit for interconnecting wires must span between the two operators. The interlock
(dual gate) communication wires and any low voltage control wires must be installed in a conduit that is
separate from the high voltage power cables.
• Complete the installation of both operators as separate machines and verify that their basic functions are
correct as solo operators before interconnecting them.
• Be sure both operators are running the same software. The software version can be viewed on the display
by pressing the RESET button.
• Keep the most current software loaded. It is available at http://www.hysecurity.com. Make it part of your
maintenance routine to check for and install software updates on a regular basis.
• External control inputs (vehicle detectors and entrapment protection sensors) may be connected to
either gate operator in a Primary/Secondary conguration, but in a Sally Port conguration, the external
control inputs must be connected to Sally Port A. (Sally Port A being the rst gate to open for incoming
trafc. Be sure to designate Sally Port A in the dual gate menu item as 3 (DG 3) and Sally Port B as
4 (DG 4).
Programming a Dual Gate (Interlocked Pair)
Both gate operators must be programmed so they know what function they are to perform as Primary and
Secondary or Sally Port A and Sally Port B. (Sally Port A being the rst
gate to open for incoming trafc.) The Installer Menu provides the Dual
Gate (DG) menu item that sets up the functionality of the gate operators.

ConneCtIng sequenCed gates
CAUTION
Sequenced gates are slightly different than dual or interlocked gates. When two gate operators are connected as
sequenced gates, a faster “Trafc Control Gate” operator (i.e. barrier arm or crash wedge) and a slower “Security
Gate” operator (slide, swing, or vertical lift gate) operate in sequence to help prevent tailgating by unauthorized
vehicles. Both operators open (Security Gate rst followed by the Trafc Control Gate) and allow a vehicle
through, but the faster moving Trafc Control Gate closes quickly once its reset/center loop and all obstruction
loops are cleared. Upon reaching its closed limit, the Trafc Control Gate signals the Security Gate to close. Note
that all shared vehicle detector loops must be cleared before the Security Gate closes.
NOTE: An emergency open or close overrides the gate sequencing and acts upon both gates simultaneously.
The Smart Touch Controller (STC) provides the sequenced gate connections and programming features, and the
STC software establishes the communication protocols when wiring the sequenced gate operators. To learn how
to connect the wiring between operators, review the Wire Diagram below.
The operators do not have to be of the same type, but both need to have the most current and up-to-date
software version installed on the Smart Touch Controller. A StrongArm M30/M50 can be sequenced with a
SlideDriver to provide both crash and personnel security. The inherent STC software integrates seamlessly
between operators and software protocols and allows RS-485 communication for networked security systems.
Refer to Integrating with Security Systems on page 51 for additional information.
To connect a sequenced pair of gate operators, follow the steps on the next page.

Troubleshooting
The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions using three simultaneously occurring methods:
• Codes presented on its display (alert, fault or error)
• Activation of a buzzer which emits a series of chirps at dened intervals
• Stop gate travel
Refer to Troubleshooting Codes: Table 3 on page 74 for details concerning
identication and description of Alerts, Faults and Errors.
To help in diagnosing a controller board problem, the active status of each
input on the Smart Touch Controller is indicated by its associated LED.
• On AC-powered gate Operators: Active-input LEDs are always
illuminated.
• On DC-powered gate Operators (with AC input OFF): Press and hold
the Tact button to illuminate the active-input LEDs.
NOTE: A qualied technician may troubleshoot the operator with the aid of the information and procedures
that follow. If it is necessary to call a distributor for assistance, be sure to have the model and serial numbers
available. Other helpful information is the job name, approximate installation date, and service records of any
recently-performed maintenance work.

The system monitors the 24V control voltage in lieu of line
voltage. Low incoming line voltage will cause low control
voltage. Verify that the control transformer is connected
properly, (white – not used, red for 208V, orange for 230V and
blue for 460 V). Refer to Control Transformer Connections (Non-
UPS) on page 21. Check the line voltage, as the motor starts,
with a meter that has min/max hold capability. If the line voltage
drops more than 10% below nominal (187 on 208 VAC, 207 on
230 VAC, or 416 on 460 VAC) the voltage is dropping too much
and must be corrected. Generally, this requires larger wire size.
On 3-Phase operators, check each leg of to ground to make
sure it is balanced.
If the line voltage is not dropping below these limits, check the
24V AC and DC power at the power supply. Voltages less than
20V indicate an overloaded or failing transformer or power
supply board. Remove the loads until the fault is found.
DC operators only. Appears when the 24 VDC power drops too
low, disabling the operator to prevent damage to the batteries
from excessive discharge. Verify the AC power is present at the
charger, the charger is on and charging (Red LED is illuminated).
The charger should shut off (Green LED) when the batteries
charge to 29.0 VDC. If the batteries will not “hold a charge”
replace them.
AC power is shut off at the source (breaker) or is not connected.
The AC power switch on the operator (lower rocker switch) is
turned off, or the circuit breaker on the operator has tripped.
• Have a licened electrician check the wiring.
• Connect AC power to the operator.
• Reset circuit breaker at the electrical panel.
• Reset the operator circuit breaker.
• Turn AC power switch on.
Set FA 1 in the User Menu, to enable this option. The operator
will attempt to re-close itself if forced off the close limit switch,
the buzzer sounds for 30 seconds. Check for attempted

eleCtrICal Issues
A general set of troubleshooting procedures are provided in the following paragraphs. Use a voltmeter to take
the measurements described in the steps. If at any point in the process, a result different than what’s expected
occurs, stop and identify the problem.
AC-Powered Gate Operators
PROBLEM 1: Pushed the OPEN and CLOSE button, but the motor is not running.
1. Verify the incoming voltage and phase at the incoming power terminals matches the voltage and phase on the
nameplate of the motor. They must match!
2. Verify the 24VAC transformer has the proper connection to the incoming power (the black wire is always connected);
White – 115VAC*, Red = 208VAC, Orange = 230VAC, Blue = 480VAC.
*NOTE: The white transformer wire is not used on SlideDriver 50VF-series operator.
3. Verify the primary tap wires match line voltage connected to operator. Measure the line voltage carefully to
distinguish between 208V and 230V branch circuits or between 390V and 460V branch circuits. A label on top of the
transformer identies the various voltage taps. This connection must match the voltage on the operator nameplate.
NOTE: Primary taps do not exist on battery operators.
4. Verify the 24VAC is present at the Red and Green wires from the control transformer to the Power Module by
measuring the bottom of the power supply board at the -ACC+ connectors.
5. Verify that the main power wires are at least the minimum wire size specied in the Wire Sizing and Runs on
page 16. Be certain that the branch circuit wire size versus the distance of the run from the main panel is large
enough to avoid excess voltage drop.
6. Verify 24VDC power is present on the Power Module between the +24VDC terminals above the terminal strip and
any screw connection on the terminal strip.
7. Be sure a 20A circuit (protected with a 20A inverse time breaker) is provided.
8. Check and make sure the operator is electrically grounded per NEC Article 250 and local codes.
9. Verify the 24VDC is present at the +24VDC and common terminals located along the lower edge of the Smart Touch
Controller board. (RADIO OPTIONS, etc.)
10. Verify that the “Heart Beat” LED is blinking green.
11. Verify the display is operational on the LCD and VFD display.
12. With the knowledge that the power is correct and the electric motor runs, check the STC display. If an error, alert or
fault code appears, refer to Troubleshooting Codes: Table 3 on page 74 to determine possible resolutions.

meCHanICal Issues
CAUTION
General problems concerning gate movement can usually be resolved by using the hand pump and manually
moving the gate open and close.
General maintenance recommends scheduled inspection of all fasteners to make sure they are tightened securely
and torqued to proper specications. For torque specs, refer to General Maintenance.
HYdraulIC Issues
The speed at which the operator moves the gate is determined by the size of the hydraulic pump and software
settings.
Attempting to slow gate speed by changing a valve setting will cause inefciency and increased heating of the
hydraulic system, which will degrade system performance and also may result in premature system failure.
NOTE: If the gate speed must be changed, contact your HySecurity distributor or HySecurity Tech Support.
Extremely cold weather is unlikely to seriously affect the gate speed because HySecurity employs a special grade
of hydraulic uid (Uniow), which maintains a linear viscosity over a broad temperature range. This high quality
uid, combined with other design considerations, allows HySecurity to rate its operators for service in ambient
temperatures of -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C).
If the gate speed of your operator has been affected by cold weather, perform the following:
1. Verify the gate hardware is not impaired by ice.
2. Verify that the reservoir is lled with Uniow uid.
NOTE: Consider adding a heater in extreme cold weather regions. A biodegradable uid option does exist, but
it does not have the same uid viscosity at extremely low temperatures. The biodegradable uid option has a
temperature rating between -10°F and 158°F (-23°C and 70°C).

A few typical problems and their associated troubleshooting procedures are provided to facilitate identication
and resolution.
PROBLEM 1: Pressing the Open and Close buttons produce no response (nothing happens).
1. Verify the line voltage is present and matches the operator’s input voltage requirement + 10%.
2. Verify the 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.
3. If an external Stop button is not used, verify a jumper wire connects Common to Stop.
4. Verify there are no Faults or Errors being reported on the LCD display.
5. Jump COM to the OPEN or CLOSE INPUT and verify that the LED lights on the STC board which indicates that the
input is active and working properly. To help in diagnosing the problem, take note of what other inputs light up and
check the display for codes.
PROBLEM 2: Hydraulic pump is running and the hydraulic pressure is between 0 - 700 PSI, but the gate is not moving.
The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions on its LCD display and the buzzer will emit a series of chirps at
dened intervals. Review the table of Alerts, Faults and Errors listed in System Diagnostic Messages on page 73. To
check the status of all inputs on the terminal strip, the LED tact button must be pushed.
If the power is three-phase, verify counter-clockwise Electric Motor rotation. To reverse rotational direction, switch any
two AC lines.
NOTE: The VFD Motor Controller displays trip and fault codes. Check to see if any error codes appear on the VFD
display. Most VFD issues are resolved through the STC software and modbus interface.
1. Check the hydraulic uid level by removing the plug in the pump reservoir. If necessary, add uid at this location
until the level is about ½ inch below the ller hole.
2. Unplug the hydraulic hoses and run the pump; if the pressure is low, adjust the Pressure Relief Valve.
3. If the Pressure Gauge does not respond to adjustment of the Pressure Relief Valve, completely remove the valve and
depress the plunger at the nose end with a blunt tool (e.g., an Allen wrench) and blow on it to remove any debris.
PROBLEM 3: The gate only opens or only closes.
1. Verify that no external device is commanding the gate to open or close by watching the LEDs associated with each
input.
2. If the gate only opens, the Directional Valve is probably stuck and needs to be checked for dbris and cleared.
3. If the gate only closes, the Directional Valve Coil is not being energized or is defective.
PROBLEM 4: A run command causes PEC to appear on display.
1. Check that the photo eye is not blocked. If it is, remove the blockage and realign the photo eye. Refer to Photo Eye
Alignment on page 64.
2. If you have a battery-powered photo eye, check that the batteries are viable and the batteries are fresh.
3. If needed, realign the photo eye. Refer to Photo Eye Alignment on page 64.

Stopping the Gate
Most models (except SlideDriver 15 and 40) employ a time delay Soft Stop system.
Additionally, brake valves are used to control the stopping of heavy or fast moving
gates. These valves are exclusive to HySecurity operators. They are independently
adjustable to allow the gate to stop predictably and without banging.
Starting the Gate
To accommodate for loads moving beyond one foot per second, it is necessary to Soft
Start the load gently and stop it smoothly. HySecurity accomplishes Soft Start with
another exclusive feature we call an Accumulator With Out Gas (AWOG), which diverts
some of the start-up hydraulic ow, accommodates for the load, and starts the gate

corrosion by treating the areas with a rust inhibitor.
9 Grease the hydraulic cylinder every 50,000 cycles. Use NLGI #2 Grade Moly EP lithium base grease only
and apply it with a standard grease gun. Grease other bearings every 100,000 cycles.
9 Check the motor. DC motors contain carbon brushes which wear over time and must be replaced. Failure
to replace the brushes will result in damage to the DC motor. Brushes should be inspected every year in
high usage applications or every 100,000 cycles and replaced as needed.
9 Replace worn-out batteries. Refer to Clock Battery Replacement on page 85.
Drive Rail
Verify that the drive rail does not move more than 1-inch up and down or ¼-inch side-to-side throughout the
entire horizontal travel of the gate. Re-alignment is simple if the rail is mounted with U bolts. Adjusting the rail for
side-to-side movements requires inserting shims between the rail and the gate where necessary. To adjust sideto-side movements, loosen the U bolts and add or remove shim stock. To adjust up or down, loosen the U bolts
and simply tap the rail with a hammer until the
correct height is reached.
The height of the drive rail needs to be set
between 9½ to 10 inches (24 to 25 cm) from base
of SlideDriver chassis if using XtremeDrive™
wheels. For site planning, see “SlideDriver/
SlideDriver 50VF Site Installation Overview” on

Drive Wheel Spring Tension (Adjustment of Manual Release)
WARNING
All SlideDriver operators come equipped with a toggle handle manual release mechanism to disengage the drive
wheels from the drive rail.
During shipment, a piece of Styrofoam is placed between the coupling nut and the chassis. If the packaging is
still in place, discard it.
When releasing the handle inside the chassis, be careful as the mechanism is spring-loaded and drops rapidly.
Hold the toggle handle appropriately so your ngers do not get pinched, hit, or crushed.
To disengage the drive wheels, simply pull the aluminum toggle handle down. As the lower drive wheel drops
and disengages from the drive rail, it causes the coupling nut on the threaded rod to drop to its lowest position
and push on the base of the operator. This causes the upper drive wheel to lift and disengage from the drive rail.
The coupling nut must be adjusted correctly so the wheels provide a strong clamping force on the drive rail. The
red spring should measure 2 to 2⅛-inch (5 to 5.5cm) in height when under the correct compression.
NOTE: If the drive rail is installed at the correct height to the chassis, the toggle release mechanism spreads both
wheels equally in relation to the drive rail. If the drive rail has been mounted higher than specied, it may be
necessary to use an additional coupling nut and ⅜” bolt which can extend beyond the all thread and create
additional lift clearance for the upper drive wheel when the toggle handle is released. If this extension method is
used, adjust the ⅜” bolt so the drive wheels spread equally when they are fully disengaged.

Grooved Drive Rail
The grooved drive rail has become the standard for all new SlideDriver gate operator installations.
In this manual, several illustrations show the non-grooved, anged drive rail which is no longer available unless a
Solenoid Lock option is installed.
The grooved drive rail replaces the non-grooved, anged drive rail.
A section of the two different drive rails is shown in the illustration.
Standard grooved drive rail Non-grooved, flanged drive rail
No anges
Grooves on the underside
NOTE: Solenoid Lock option
requires anged drive rail
Grooved versus non-grooved, flanged drive rail
The small grooves on the underside of the new drive rail improve traction in slick or wet conditions and provide
more pulling and stopping power in SlideDriver installations. The three underside anges have been eliminated
which reduces drive wheel wear and drag in misaligned gate installations. Additionally, the no-ange drive rail
stacks better for shipping which reduces the likelihood of freight damage.
NOTE: The grooved drive rail is standard and will be on your order unless you specify otherwise. The nongrooved, anged drive rail is still available for use with the Solenoid Lock option. The Solenoid Lock option
requires an outer edge ange and therefore must be installed with the non-grooved, anged drive rail.

Fluid Level: Under normal conditions, hydraulic systems do not consume uid. Check the system thoroughly for
leaks, before adding any uid. If uid needs to be added:
1. Remove the metal plug from the tank.
2. Use HySecurity Uniow hydraulic uid; part number
Brake Valves
MX000970. Gallon sold by our distributors.
3. Fill to within ½ inch of the plug level, and then replace plug.
NOTICE: Never use brake uid. It will severely damage the hydraulic
system. Use of any uid other than uid recommended by HySecurity
may void the operator warranty.
Brake Valves
Look for leaks: Occasionally there may be slight seeping at the
ttings after some usage. Tightening of the ttings usually corrects
the problem. If leaking persists, replace “O” rings, ttings or hoses,
if required. No further leaks should occur.
Quick
Disconnect
To Change Fluid: Unlike a gas engine, the uid inside a hydraulic
system does not foul, so uid changes do not need to occur often.
HySecurity recommends draining the reservoir and replacing the
uid at ve-year intervals. Fluid breakdown caused by heat is the
Pump
pack
main concern. If the unit is subjected to high use, or you are using
the HySecurity biodegradable uid option (especially in a wgate climate), change
the uid more frequently.
To change the hydraulic uid,
1. Remove the reservoir from the pump pack.
2. Completely empty it.

3. Wipe the reservoir clean and clean the derby screen.
4. Re-assemble the pump unit and rell it with new Uniow hydraulic uid.

5. To avoid overlling, slowly pour the uid through the ller port near the
reservoir’s top until the uid is within one inch of the port’s opening.

6. Replace the plug and wipe up any spilled uid. Spilled uid dries to a
sticky and messy consistency.
Cold Weather Issues:
1. Check that your reservoir is lled with our Uniow high performance uid.
2. Excessive ice buildup can partially or totally jam gate operation. Operate the gate manually, while clearing
the ice buildup.
3. If the operator is located in an area of extreme snow conditions, regular maintenance to dig the operator
out may be required. A heater option may help.
NOTE: A biodegradable uid option does exist, but it does not have the same uid viscosity at extremely low
temperatures. Uniow uid temperature rating is between -40°F and 158°F (-40°C and 70°C). The biodegradable
uid has a temperature rating between -10°F and 158°F (-23°C and 70°C).

Brake Valve Adjustments
Proper adjustment of the brake valves is important for smooth operation
of the gate. The position and placement of the limit ramps on the drive rail
plays an important part on how the brake valves work.
In order for the brake valves to have time to function, the limit ramp must
trigger the limit switch at least two inches before the point at when you
want the gate to stop.
Adjustment of the brake valves, one for each direction of travel, will
determine how quickly the gate actually stops. If adjustment is needed,
loosen the 9/16-inch lock nut on the top of the brake valve and make
¼-inch incremental turns on the adjustment stem with a hex key.
Note that the adjustment screw varies depending on model type.
The adjustment is counter-intuitive.
A counter-clockwise adjustment stops the gate more rapidly. If the
adjustment is set too loose, the limit ramps will bang into the drive wheels.
If the adjustment is set too tight, the system pressure will increase, the
gate speed may decrease and the gate will jerk to a stop.

Locknut
Brake valves are factory-set to midpoint, two turns. This should be sufcient for most applications. If the limit
switch triggers and the drive rail stops more than two inches into the limit ramp, increase braking. When the
adjustment is complete, retighten the locking nut to hold the setting.
Pressure Relief Valve Adjustments
The Pressure Relief Valve governs the maximum system hydraulic pressure. It is located on the backside of the
pump. The pressure relief valve is factory set and may need to be adjusted depending on the gate weight. See
“Adjusting the Pressure Relief Valve” on page 24 or refer to the yellow tag wire tied to the unit and follow the
instructions.
Open Valve
The open valve is solenoid operated and, when energized, directs the hydraulic ow to open the gate. No
adjustment of this valve is possible or necessary. The black solenoid coil mounts on its valve stem.

Name of part What to do Check at these recommended monthly intervals
1 3 6 12 24
Gate and hardware Check for damage and wear *1 X
Drive wheels Check for tightnes and wear *2 X
Wheel clamp spring Check for clamping tension *3 X
Stop limit switches Check for adjustment *4 X
Deceleration switches Check for adjustment *4 X
Anchor bolts Check for tightness X
Fluid level Check for loss of uid *5 X
Hydraulic uid Drain and replace uid X
Clock battery Replace *6 X
Motor Brushes (DC Only) Replace *7 X
Special Notes:
*1. Your gate and gate hardware will require more maintenance than your HySecurity operator. A damaged gate or worn hardware
may cause slow or erratic operation and will result in excess drive wheel wear. Lubricate gate hardware more frequently and
check for smooth operation by opening the toggle clamping mechanism and then pushing the gate manually. One person
should easily be able to push all but the largest of gates. Damaged or warped gate panels should be straightened or replaced.
*2. Normally, drive wheel life is many years. They are designed to avoid slipping on the rail. Wheels may be greatly shortened by
any of these faults: clamping spring not adjusted correctly, operator misaligned in relation to gate panel, badly warped gate
panel, extremely stiff gate hardware, and/or loose wheel mounting bolts (tighten to 25 ft. lb).
*3. Verify that the red clamping spring is compressed tightly so that drive wheels apply a strong grip on drive rail. The red spring
should normally be compressed to 2-inches in height. See 87.
*4. The limit switch and deceleration switch rollers should ride ¼ to ½-inch below the drive rail, near the center of the channel.
Maladjustment may result in false or early tripping or no limit function at the end of travel. Verify that the limit trip ramps are
tightly bolted to the drive rail.
*5. The uid level should remain no less than one inch below the ller hole. Refer to maintenance instructions for uid lling. Loss
of uid is not normal and indicates a leak that must be located and repaired. Use Uniow uid, part MX000970, if additional
uid is required.
*6. Replace the Smart Touch Controller coin battery with DL 2025 / DL 2032 or CR 2025 / CR 2032.
*7. DC Operators use DC motors with 4 carbon brushes which wear in normal operation. Worn brushes can damage the DC
motor. Under severe conditions HySecurity recommends that brushes be checked after 2 years or 250,000 cycles and the
replacement interval be adjusted as necessary.
