HySecurity Gate OperatOrS: uL 325 – 2016
The following bullet points highlight how your automated gate system sites can monitor external entrapment
protection using HySecurity gate operators:
• Normally Closed (NC) sensors – Before gate movement occurs, the gate operator veries that the
external entrapment protection sensor is connected and fully functional.
• Build Year (BY) – An added menu item distinguishes between pre-2016 manufacturing dates and
UL 325 - 2016 manufacturing dates. Build Year (BY) is a factory-setting. Build Year 2 (BY 2) is the default for
all HySecurity gate operators indicating a manufacturing date of 2016 in the serial number. Replacement
controller boards for existing sites allow for a Build Year setting of 1 (BY 1) (pre-2016).
• Independent Sensor Inputs – The edge, photo eye and photo eye COM inputs on the Smart Touch and
Smart DC Controllers (STC and SDC) have been re-labeled. The same wiring connections become three
independent methods for easy entrapment sensor conguration and normally closed outputs.

Table 2: HySecurity Gate Operators maintaining Object Detection
Table 2 indicates those HySecurity gate operators that may be within the exception parameters of UL 325 or
comply with standards other than UL 325, but continue to maintain object detection capabilities. HySecurity
strongly recommends that you assess every site for entrapment zones and provide the necessary protection to
guard against entrapment.

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 automatic gate operators. Hazards exist with automatic gate operators and can be reduced
with proper gate site design, installation and use. Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must
take responsibility to read and follow the safety requirements and Important Safety Information found in the
HySecurity product manuals and review all the literature that accompanies the product.
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 automatic 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 Standard of Safety, refer to www.ul.com.

impOrtant Safety infOrmatiOn
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.
9. Use monitored sensors for protection against entrapment as specied in the current UL 325 Standard of Safety.
Safety - Additional Installer Responsibility
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage label on
the junction box.
• Verify and install an automatic gate operator per its usage class and only on gate sites that comply with ASTM
F2200 Gate and Fence Standards. See Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class on page 5.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate and install sensors to monitor potential entrapment areas per UL 325
Standard of Safety, which includes:
• 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. Exposed rollers
must be capped to avoid potential entrapment.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points are eliminated or any exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are
guarded.
• External entrapment protection sensors must be used wherever the risk of entrapment exists.

Safety - Additional 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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Be located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate access controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of the gate.
NOTE: An exception for Emergency Access Control devices exists. An EAC device accessible by
authorized personnel only (e.g. re, police, EMS) may be placed at any location within the line-of-sight.
• Open and close the gate to conrm that it was properly installed and to ensure monitoring sensors are working
correctly. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Standard of Safety. 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 Standard of Safety.
• Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business les.

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

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 14.
• 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 in rush 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

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.
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 of the motor (maximum full load at continuous duty). At
minimum, a 20A circuit (protected with a 20A Inverse time Breaker) should be provided.
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.

A HySecurity 50VF-series operators 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.
www.hysecurity.com © 2017 Power MX3630-01 Rev. B 17
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 460 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 Warranty.
SlideDriver 50VF-series operators are NOT eld recongurable between 208/230VAC and 460VAC power. The
VFD Motor Controller in a 208/230VAC unit must be replaced with a VFD Motor Controller manufactured for the
higher (460VAC) voltage input.

WARNING
Connect the AC input power to the control
transformer according to the following
procedure.
1. Ensure that the primary tap on the
control transformer matches the line
voltage and frequency connected to
the gate operator.
Input taps
Blue - 460 VAC
Orange - 240 VAC
Red - 208 VAC
Black - Common
White - 120 VAC*
2. Measure the line voltage carefully to
distinguish between 208V and 230V
branch circuits.
NOTE: A label on the transformer top
identies the various voltage taps available.
* Variable Frequency (VF) or 2 hp gate operators:
connection wires match the voltage found on the operator’s nameplate.
Never connect to the white 120V wire. Make sure the
Control Transformer
3. Use wire nuts or crimp-connectors to
connect the power input conductors
to the applicable taps on the Control
Transformer.

If you have the modular unit, additional conduit is needed to house the hydraulic hoses and electrical wiring.
You need a 2-inch (5 cm) diameter conduit for hydraulic hoses and a ¾-inch (19 mm) conduit for electrical
wiring. AC input power is connected to the hydraulic pump and electrical components enclosure
(HydraSupply).
A supplemental manual, provided with the product, describes the installation overview, wiring and conduit
considerations.

If you have a gate operator with a DC Power Supply unit, you will need to
connect the primary AC input power to the DC Power Supply.
Additional ¾-inch (19 mm) conduit is needed for electrical wiring
interconnections between the gate operator and DC Power Supply
Cabinet. AC input power is connected to the electrical components in
the chassis, and additional wiring is run through conduit to the DC Power
Supply Cabinet.

Gate operators equipped with the AC Power Supply with HyInverter AC option are powered by four 12-Volt,
110Ah DC batteries which, when AC power loss occurs, maintain a true Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)
system. When the local AC power fails, the UPS back up system continues to move the gate. System features
are covered in the HyInverterAC Installation and Reference Manual shipped with the product and available
online at www.hysecurity.com.
NOTICE: The AC Power Supply with HyInverter AC option is intended for single phase (1 hp) gate operators and
single phase (2 hp) gate operators that use Variable Speed Drives (VFD).
