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 qualied installers handle the installation of the HySecurity equipment and gate operator. A “qualied” 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

• Signicant 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 certication, 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.

A moving gate or barrier arm, bollard, or wedge can cause serious injury or death. In the following safety information, the term “gate” refers to the hardware that the automatic gate operator is moving: gate, barrier arm, bollard, or wedge.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Important safetY InformatIon

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 qualied 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 specied in the current UL 325 Standard of Safety.

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 the 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 (57mm) 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.

• 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• 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 or Crash products.

• 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 conrm 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 qualied

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. (Manually 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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Important safetY InformatIon

Safety - Owner/User Responsibility

As the owner/user, you are responsible for the correct and safe installation, operation and maintenance of the StrongArmPark DC gate operator. It is of the utmost importance that you read and follow the specic

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 barrier arm, gate area, or gate operators.

• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually operate the barrier arm.

• 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 Trafc Control Devices (MUTCD) standards. Disabling the warning buzzer may increase the risk of

death or serious injury.

• Be aware of the length of the barrier arm. Safeguard against any possible contact between the barrier arm and overhead power or utility cables and wires.

Be aware of the barrier arm length. To reduce the risk of electrocution, maintain a minimum 10 foot (3 m) clearance between the barrier arm and all electrical utility lines and equipment.

• 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 qualied service person make repairs to gate

hardware and equipment to keep the gate running smoothly.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IdentIfYIng gate operator CategorY and usage Class

Gate operators are given a usage class according to UL 325 Standard of Safety. The usage class is determined

by the area that the vehicular gate operator services.

Four different vehicular usage classes are dened 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 unit (ve or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores

or other buildings accessible by or servicing 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 area 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.

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 veries 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 protection sensor conguration and normally closed outputs.

External Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators

Any external entrapment protection sensor may be monitored by HySecurity gate operators, provided the

following requirements are met:

• Sensor is marked as certied to UL 325 Standard of Safety by a Nationally Recognized Test laboratory,

such as UL or ETL.

• If the sensor only has a normally open (NO) output with a 8.2KΩ or 10KΩ resistor, such as an edge sensor, then a conversion device must be used to convert the NO resistor output to an NC output.

Example of two different installation methods:

• Method A - Wired

Connect the edge sensor to a NC conversion module (GEM-104 or GEM-204) and connect the module to the operator controls according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Method B - Wireless

Connect the edge sensor to a UL 325 certied wireless edge transmitter and connect a matching receiver to the operator controls according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

A resource list is available from the drop down Gate Safety menu on the HySecurity website. The HySecurity

recommended list shows examples of external entrapment protection sensors available for NC monitoring of automatic gate operators. All HySecurity gate operators manufactured after January 1, 2016 using software versions h4.50 or h5.50 (or later) comply with UL 325 Standard of Safety for monitoring entrapment protection

sensors using normally closed contacts.

The site designer or installer must determine which external entrapment protection sensors will be installed with the gate operator to create a UL 325 compliant automatic gate operator site.

The UL 325 Standard of Safety and ASTM F2200 dene the MINIMUM gate site requirements. Gate site,

gate hardware, gate usage and other conditions may dictate the use of additional entrapment protection sensors. It is up to the gate system designer and installer to assess appropriate gate safety design and install

the components required to protect all potential entrapment zones. Always check your local area codes and

comply with all standards and regulations.

CAUTION

Temperatures and environmental conditions affect proper operation of external entrapment protection sensors.

Always check the manufacturer’s specications shipped with the sensors. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions

for correct wiring connections, hardware installation and proper operation.

WInd load faCtors & sIte prep

Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. Solid gate panels

produce a larger wind load than gates with slats or open decorative features. If you are installing a gate operator in high wind areas, the gate design may affect the load on the gate operator. Because wind force acts the same as an obstruction, it is important that gates be designed to present a relatively low surface area for the wind to push on the gate panel.

In the case of the StrongArmPark DC, it is always advisable to remove the barrier arm altogether when high winds are anticipated. Another option is to install a catch post to keep the barrier arm from bending in the wind.

NOTICE: Under certain wind load conditions, damage to the barrier arm or gate operator may occur and is not covered by the HySecurity Warranty.

StrongArmPark DC incorporates a dynamic reversing sensor into its design. More information about adjusting

the sensitivity can be found in this manual under, Adjusting the Dynamic Reversing Sensor on page 66.

When the barrier arm encounters an impediment, it sends a signal to the gate operator to stop and reverse direction. This feature may be falsely triggered in excessively windy conditions.

manual release

NOTICE: Before attempting a manual release, make sure the barrier arm is not in motion.

Make sure and instruct all users how to move the gate manually. Use the Hold Open toggle switch to raise the barrier arm or, in the case of complete AC & DC power

loss, turn off both AC and DC power switches and lift the barrier arm to open it.

BreakaWaY arm feature

Every StrongArmPark DC operator comes equipped with a breakaway arm bracket, which lessens damage to the operator and reduces the cost of arm replacement due to vehicle hits.

For more information about installing the breakaway arm bracket, review the

StrongArmPark DC Installation Instructions.

How to wire the operator is presented in the Installation Instructions, but detailed information about the earth and equipment ground, wiring to AC power, DC power considerations and changing the batteries are described in this section.

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 DC 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 (91cm) 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.

Consult local codes for required depth

NOTICE: Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate operator performance and the life of its

electrical components. Use sufcient wire size during installation. If you do not ground the operator with a

separate earth ground, you risk voiding the HySecurity Warranty.

1. Turn off the DC and AC power switches.

2. Slide the plastic cover off the control box.

3. Attach the red spade connector to the battery terminal on the DC power switch.

Status light

Turning the Power Switch ON

When both DC and AC power switches are turned ON:

• The barrier arm travels open and initiates a target search. StrongArmPark DC senses the arm position and establishes its open and close limits. No physical limit switches exist. Limits are automatically learned and remain intact even if AC power is lost and the batteries are fully drained. The only exception occurs when factory defaults are reinstated, or the Smart DC Controller is replaced. For more information about Learn Limits and Menu modes, refer to Display & Menu Options on page 19.

• A green status LED appears on the Smart DC Controller and remains static. The status light appears above the display and indicates that the processor is receiving power.

NOTE: The Smart DC Controller can be powered when either switch is turned on. However, the operator is a DC-powered unit and runs on its batteries. If the DC power switch is off, the operator will not function (even though the AC power switch is on). When the operator is connected to AC power and the both AC and DC power switches are turned on, the charge level of the battery is being monitored and maintained. On a solar-powered operator, the AC power switch connects and disconnects the DC power from the

solar panels.

The ashing red indicator light next to the OPEN button on the Smart DC Controller is considered the heart

beat of the system. It indicates that the electronics board is receiving power. When AC power is lost, the rate of

ashing slows down. Another indicator light, above the display, is multi-colored and corresponds to the action

that the operator is performing:

• Green - the operator is stopped.

The default setting is a ½-second duration reversal if the dynamic reversing sensor is triggered. The optional setting of 0 will cause the gate to reopen fully if triggered while closing.

The default setting is photo eyes with Normally Open outputs. Setting 1 requires a Normally Closed (NC) output which requires both a

photo EYE OPEN and a photo EYE CLOSE

are connected. If set for NC, the connection is supervised and any open or short circuit

fault will generate a FAULT 2 which requires a

STOP button reset to re-enable any functions triggered.

The default setting is edge sensor with Normally Open (NO) output. The optional setting of 1 requires an (NC) output.

Congures the BLOCK EXIT input to disable either the Free Exit Detector function or,

alternately, the Timer To Close function. The default setting disables the free exit detector. NOTE: The free exit is disabled when the gate is at its closed limit. If the closed limit is not tripped, the free exit continues to work normally.

The default is for full reversal when the loop is

triggered. A setting of 0 causes the barrier arm

to only pause when triggered. Closure begins

as soon as the loop is clear again. A setting

of 2 is provided for the most secure facilities where it is essential that the loop trigger is completely ignored and the barrier arm continues closing without pause or reversal.

HySecurity gate operators provide 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. Several physical operators (1 to 99) 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.

Devices, such as gate edge sensors and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These secondary entrapment protection devices are required for the gate installation to be in compliance with

UL 325 Safety Standards. Most Crash gates are site-specic when it comes to safety standard compliance, and

power requirements fall under UL 508A. Always check your local area codes and comply with all regulations.

Standard accessory (entrapment and loop wire) connections are shown in the following illustration. All accessories require a minimum of two connections:

• a device input

user relaYs - programmIng proCedure

The Smart DC Controller is able to interface with many types of external devices through the use of programmable output relays: one mechanical relay (User 1) and one solid state relay (User 2) which is used

most often for connection to ashing devices.

NOTE: For StrongArmPark DC, an extended relay module option provides 8 additional mechanical relay connections. In the chart below, you use Relay 3 Logic through Relay 10 Logic for wire connections.

All of the user relay functions identied and described in the table below are accessible in the Installer Menu

selections.

NOTE: A setting of zero disables a user relay. The user relays will operate normally to 18VDC. Below 18VDC, alert notication

occurs. On StrongArmPark DC the R2 RELAY 2 LOGIC is recommended for LED arm lights.

Use the SDC buttons to program the user relays according to the following steps:

1. Select the relay you wish to use through the Table 4: Installer Menu on page 25.

Vehicle Detector Installation

and Loop Layouts

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 congurable through the Table 4: Installer Menu on page 25.

NOTE: For in-depth information regarding Hy5B vehicle detectors, click Tech Support on the HySecurity website and follow the link to Installation Manuals.

Anti-TailGate Mode (Closing Logic)

The Detector Logic (DL) installer menu item 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 antitailgate 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 (OOLD), Inside Obstruction Loop (IOLD), or the Center Loop (CLD/RESET/Shadow) 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 (unless another open command is present) once all vehicle detectors are no longer sensing active loops (i.e. vehicle loops are clear).

Mode 4: Full anti-tailgate logic includes Mode 3 functions. In addition, the gate will stop during the opening cycle when both OOLD & IOLD (reversing loops) 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 loop layout drawings. The detector Modes 3 and 4 require use of separate inner and outer obstruction detectors. Mode 4 is not available in HydraWedge SM50 or gate operators functioning with HydraSupply XL.

TailGate Alert

User Relay 11 is available for notication 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. Refer to User Relays - Programming Procedure on page 39.

veHICle deteCtors and tHe smart dC Controller

The Smart DC Controller provides an interface for up to four different vehicle detector functions.

NOTE: Standard box type 11 pin (24 VDC or 24 VAC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner to the

controller, but HySecurity Hy5B mini-detector modules plug directly into the board, making eld installation much faster and

enhancing performance.

The Hy5B detector communicates with the Smart DC Controller microprocessor to achieve the following

benets:

• Automatic Sensitivity – The Hy5B monitors vehicle trafc over the loop and automatically adjusts the loop sensitivity based on vehicle type and volume.

• Automatic Gate Compensation – The Hy5B discerns gate travel over the loop and automatically compensates for its effect. The compensation allows the Hy5B to operate with a higher sensitivity which provides better detection capability.

• No Loop Crosstalk – Exclusive use of Hy5B vehicle detectors in HySecurity gate operators, completely eliminates crosstalk and the need to set frequency levels.

• Vehicle Counting – Hy5B detects passenger vehicles and motorcycles.

• Automatic Lightning Suppression - Where lightning strikes occur often, connecting to the ground terminal minimizes the chance of activation or lock-up.

• Health Scores for Loop – Hy5B monitors the loop for changes that are indicative of possible problems. A score is accessible through the event log, LG menu item.

• Automatic Hy5A emulation mode for backward compatibility.

Hy5B Installation

To install an Hy5B vehicle detector, you will need to take the following steps:

• Test the vehicle loop

• To use all the features of Hy5B, update the software version on the gate operator to the latest version using S.T.A.R.T. and a PC laptop. Access free software updates from the HySecurity website:

www.hysecurity.com

• Install the Hy5B vehicle detector

• Fully cycle the gate at least 2 times to allow the detector to adjust to the effects of the gate during travel. Drive a test vehicle over the loops.

Hy5B Vehicle Detector – front view

Test the Vehicle Loop

Run diagnostic tests on the vehicle loops before installing Hy5B vehicle detectors to ensure the loops are in good working condition. The following tests cannot guarantee a functioning loop, but failure of either test means that the loop may be damaged or need to be replaced.

1. Test – Measure the resistance of the loop and lead-in wire. It should not exceed 4.0 ohms.

2. Test – Measure the resistance to earth ground with a Megohmeter (Megger). It should be 100 Megohms or more. Below 50 mega-ohms, install a new loop.

NOTE: Loops may function at 100 Megohms or less, but will not be reliable (for example, when the ground is wet from rainfall). A low megohm reading on the resistance to earth ground usually occurs due to broken or moisture saturated insulation. Be sure to use wire with a direct burial jacket such as XLPE or XHHW wire. Do NOT use THHN wire.

Check the Version of Software

1. In the eld, open the gate operator’s Control Box.

2. To view the software version, press the RESET key. To use Hy5B features, the software version must be h4.55 or h5.56 (or later). Otherwise, the Hy5B reverts to Hy5A emulation mode.

3. If you wish to update the software, download the current S.T.A.R.T. software to your PC laptop, and then load the gate operator code to the controller board before installing Hy5B vehicle detectors. See www.hysecurity.com for updates.

NOTE: Hy5A emulation mode does not include all the features of Hy5B. If you are replacing Hy5A detectors and updating the gate operator software, be aware Build Year 1 (BY1) or Build Year 2 (BY2) will need to be addressed. BY2 requires monitoring of external entrapment protection sensors per UL 325 - 2016 Standard of Safety. If the gate operator was installed prior to 2016, BY1 may be used. For more information, refer to the gate operator’s product manual.

Install Hy5B Vehicle Detectors

Install one Hy5B detector at a time. Each vehicle detector socket is labeled.

1. Turn power OFF in control box.

2. Insert the squared-off end of the plastic standoff through the hole in the Hy5B detector.

NOTE: The plastic standoff “squared-off end” does not t

into the mounting holes of the control box. Double check the orientation of squared-off ends.

Power switches Turn off both the DC and AC switches.

4. Secure the Hy5B by inserting each plastic standoff into the chassis.

5. Place the two wires from the loop into the push terminals of the Hy5B. For ease of installation, the wire gauge should be 20 - 14 AWG. Refer to Vehicle Loop Sets on page 46.

NOTE: If you have more Hy5B detectors, repeat the steps 2 through 4 for each additional Hy5B detector.

8. Press the Reset button. * When you press Reset, the following occurs:

• Checks Hy5B loop connections and re-tunes Hy5B to prevent crosstalk

• Un-installs memory of vehicle detectors physically removed

• Clears alerts

NOTE: If the Hy5B is unplugged after it is initialized, an alert appears on the display, ALERT 10. If the issue is not resolved, ERROR 3 appears. When faults of this nature occur, the gate operator functions as if the Hy5B is

triggered.

NOTE: * Best Practice: When “re-tuning” Hy5B vehicle detectors, verify that the loops are clear before pressing the Reset button.

Do not connect Free Exit loop wires to the same Hy5B detector co@ntaining obstruction loop wires (reversing loops). You cannot combine Free Exit vehicle detection with reversing loop detection. If you attempt to do so, vehicles crossing over the Free Exit will not be detected.

InstallIng standard 11-pIn Box tYpe veHICle deteCtors

If standard 11-pin box type vehicle detectors are to be used, perform the following procedure.

If there is sufcient space, install the sockets in the control box; if not, then install them in a separate external

housing. Carefully consider your peripheral connections. Any peripheral device required for safe gate operation should be attached to 24VDC in case of an AC power outage.

NOTE: Box detectors with relays require ve times more power than Hy5x detectors. One Hy5x detector draws about 0.005A.

Consider Hy5x vehicle detectors for DC and Solar powered sites.

1. Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Connect Pin No. 1 to a 24VAC or 24VDC terminal and Pin No. 2 to common.

2. Connect output Pin No. 6 to the Common Bus and output Pin No. 5 to one of the four detector terminal inputs (depending upon the detector function required) on the Smart DC Controller.

If multiple detectors are used, route the power wires and common wire from socket to socket (daisy-chaining) rather than individually running each wire to the same location. The only wires that are separate are the output wire to the Smart DC Controller and the detector loop input wires.

Always keep the detector loop wires well twisted beyond the area of the loop. The lead in portion sealed in a saw cut does not need to be twisted so long as the wires are encapsulated in loop sealant and cannot move.

CAUTION

Match detector connection to its voltage rating (24VAC or 24VDC).

A monitored connection tests for the presence and correct operation of the photo eyes (and other monitored sensors) prior to each gate activation. The monitored connection prevents gate operation if an entrapment protection sensor is missing or any fault is present.

Sensors, such as gate edges and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These external entrapment protection sensors are required for the gate installation to be in compliance with the 2016, UL 325 Standard of Safety (6th Edition).

NOTICE: UL 325 Standard of Safety provides the MINIMUM safety standards. Site, gate hardware usage, and other conditions may dictate the use of additional safety designs/components. It is up to the gate system designer and installer to assess appropriate safety design and components above and beyond minimum UL 325 and ASTM F2200 Standard of Safety. Always check your local area codes and comply with all regulations.

NOTE: Visit www.hysecurity.com/gatesafety for more information on UL 325 standards and gate safety.

To learn more about external entrapment protection devices or to learn how to temporarily supply power to the sensors that are wired to the gate operator, review External Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators on page 9 .

For barrier arm gates, see Table 2: HySecurity Gate Operators maintaining Object Detection on page 8.

pHoto eYes (non-ContaCt) InstallatIon

Plan to integrate photo eyes (photoelectric sensors) in your site plan. Photo eyes are wired to the Controller and require low voltage conduit to the operator and power supply. Refer to External Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators on page 9.

Understand your site requirements and use the layout diagrams available to determine the most appropriate mounting positions for additional photo eyes. The Controller has three sensor inputs.

If there are no other external entrapment protection sensors, then for slide gates, swing gates or any site that must comply with UL 325 monitored entrapment protection regulations, it is highly recommended that at least two photo eyes are installed to serve and reverse the gate in each direction of travel (Open and Close directions).

The two common photoelectric sensor types are thru-beam and retro-reective; each has its advantages.

• A thru-beam sensor is generally more powerful and able to function more reliably in inclement weather.

• A retro-reective sensor (generally less reliable in inclement weather or low visibility) provides convenience due to minimal wiring.

NOTE: In an outdoor environment (because of reduced performance), avoid using a retro-reective sensor 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.

A list of tested and approved external entrapment protection sensors (normally closed contacts) that are compatible with HySecurity gate operators can be found online at the following public site: Gate Safety for

HySecurity Gate Operators.

Installation

Install photo eyes according to the following steps.

1. Locate the photo eye in line of sight to the receiver or reector that is mounted to protect zones of potential entrapment.

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.

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.

Configuration

CAUTION

Congure photo eyes attached to gate operators manufactured in 2016 or beyond according to UL 325 –

Monitored Entrapment Wiring Diagrams.

NOTE: HySecurity gate operators, manufactured with 2016 (or later) in the serial number, require Normally Closed output sensors. Some manufacturers label an output as N.O. (normally open), when it is actually an N.C. (normally closed) contact. Review External Entrapment Protection Sensors monitored by HySecurity Gate Operators on page 9.

If your gate operator is manufactured prior to 2016 and/or your gate operator is set to Build Year 1, consider the following:

NOTE: To check the Build Year for your gate operator, press the Menu button. The gate status scroll reveals

the Build Year. “Build Year Pre-2016” means the gate operator is congured for Build Year 1.

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 N.O. and N.C. 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.

3. If the photo eye has a solid-state output, your must choose a sinking-type connection.

Photo Eye Connections: Smart Touch & Smart DC Controllers

All external entrapment protection sensors must be NC sensor outputs and wired to the SENSOR COM terminal for monitoring and powering purposes. The sensor becomes actively powered when the gate operator’s motor runs.

Connect the four wires to the receiver and two wires to the emitter according to the following procedure.

A. Supply power to the sensor.

1. Find the +24V spade-terminals inside the inputs edge or use +24V from RADIO OPTIONS located at the base of the SDC Controller. (If connecting to STC, obtain the +24 Volt source power at one of the three spade-terminals on the STC Power Supply Board. )

2. Obtain the 24 Volt Common from SENSOR COM on the Controller.

B. Wire connection so the controller recognizes the sensor device.

3. For the relay output, obtain the COM along the SDC inputs edge (or from the STC Power Supply Board on an STC).

4. Connect the N.C. output to SENSOR 1, 2, or 3.

5. Congure the Installer Menu according to your site device set up. Refer to UL 325 – 2016, Monitored

Entrapment Wiring Diagrams.

NOTE: Jumper between terminals on Photo Eye sensor so you don’t need to pull a fourth wire to the Controller terminal.

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. Optional settings exist in the Installer Menu. Refer to Eye Close Logic

and Eye Open Logic (EC and EO) in Table 4: Installer Menu on page 25 for more information.

retro-refleCtIVe PHoto eye SyStemS

Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reective photo eye and its reector is important for trouble free

performance. Any system operating at a range greater than 16 feet is more prone to false triggering due to dirty optics, condensation or poor weather. If care is taken in the initial mounting and alignment of the 3-inch

reector, the chance of problems is greatly reduced.

NOTE: Use only through beam photo eyes for a distances greater than 24 feet because the function of a retro-reective photo eye

will be too unreliable.

Taking steps to protect the photo eye and the reector from being exposed to fog and being absolutely

certain the photo eye is perfectly aligned will greatly reduce any false triggering of the system. The ideal

mounting of a retro-reective photo eye is inside an enclosure.

Ideally the reector mount suspends the reector inside a 12-inch long piece of 3-inch PVC conduit. Cut the opening of the PVC conduit at a 45-degree angle to act as a drip shield. Hold the reector against the

backside of the PVC conduit by attaching a 3-inch male connector.

it difcult to reach the reector for future cleaning.

To create a mounting base, attach a 3-inch aluminum ange (for example, an electric meter hub) to the connector. This whole package can be mounted to any at surface.

Locate the reector in the center of the invisible beam of infrared light to achieve the most sensitive alignment.

DO NOT cement the connector as doing so makes

The beam center is determined by the following test:

1. While holding the reector in your hand, slowly raise it until the beam is no longer returned and the photo eye trips.

2. Mark this maximum height.

3. Lower your hand and determine the lower limit of the infrared beam by watching for the trip point. Mark this position.

4. Repeat the same procedure for left and right at the center elevation of the beam.

When the four parameters are marked, either:

• Mount the reector in the center of the area outlined

• Realign the eye for the position of the reector.

NOTE: If the photo eye is realigned, be sure to perform the centering test again to verify that the reector is truly in the center.

pHoto eYe alIgnment feature

Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to the center of the

receiver or reector. In order to avoid false triggering, it is important to carefully align the system.

Align the photo eyes using this feature by taking the following steps:

1. Access the User Menu and select PE. To access the User Menu, press the Menu button twice. For a refresher on using the Menu Mode navigational buttons, refer to the chart below.

The software on the SDC board is periodically being enhanced with new features that create an easier install and improve the on board diagnostic tools. Be sure to check the HySecurity website for the latest version of

software and operator code before heading out for eld maintenance.

eleCtrICal Controls

Before servicing, turn off all power switches.

No routine maintenance is needed for the electrical system or controls. If the environment is very sandy or dusty, or has many insects, be certain to seal all holes in the electrical enclosure. Blow the dust out of the electric panel with compressed air. Use the Table 8: Troubleshooting Codes on page 60 to assess and x error, alert, and fault codes. If it is necessary to call a distributor for assistance, be sure to have your model and serial number ready. Other helpful information includes the name of the job, approximate date of installation, software version, and the service record of the operator, especially if any work has been done recently.

Clock Battery Replacement

A lithium coin battery supports the clock, so the date and time is retained even when the main power is turned off. Replace the battery about every two years (or as needed) with a DL 2025, DL 2032, or CR 2025, or CR 2032 battery.

Battery

Fuse Replacement

A 35A fuse is located next to the 24VDC power supply inputs on the SDC. It requires no maintenance, but if it were blown due to a power surge or other unusual circumstance, it must be swapped out with a new fuse. The symptoms of a blown fuse appear as a control system malfunction (i.e. all control systems may not work properly).

CAUTION

Before checking the internal mechanisms of the operator, turn off all power switches.

The StrongArmPark DC mechanical maintenance is not in depth or difcult, but should be performed on a

routine basis. The operator chassis is zinc plated, but some environments may speed corrosion of this plating.

Schedule regular maintenance and look for the following:

• Assess that the drive belt has the proper tension. Check for drive belt wear. Fraying edges or missing teeth indicate that the drive belt needs to be replaced.

• Check for signs of rust. If any areas of rust are found, reduce the spread of corrosion by treating the areas with a rust inhibitor.

• Replace worn-out batteries.

• On the StrongArmPark DC 14 spring assembly, apply grease to zerk tting and upper rod end.

drIve Belt tensIon and alIgnment

Proper drive belt tension is important for prolonging the life of the drive belt and maintaining the superior

performance of the operator. To check the drive belt tension, take the following steps:

1. Remove the Front Access Panel.

2. Turn off the AC and DC power switches.

3. Remove the StrongArmPark DC top cover and drive belt cover.

4. Check to make sure the pulleys are aligned vertically.

5. With your nger, apply light outward pressure to the drive belt. If it is properly tensioned, it should only move about Z\zn to Z\,-inch (1.6 to

3.2 cm).

6. To replace or re-tension the drive belt. Loosen the four motor bracket nuts and move the motor accordingly.

7. Retighten the motor bracket nuts.

to the rst End User of the product following installation. They do not extend to

subsequent purchasers.

perform due to conditions beyond its reasonable control, including any force majeure.
