CAUTION
• Use the chassis template as a guide to drill anchor holes. Mounting holes cannot be drilled through chassis.
• Secure chassis template with temporary concrete screws while drilling holes for wedge base.
• DRILL 7/8” anchor bracket holes (chassis template) first BEFORE the remaining 9/16” anchor holes.
Use a ¼” bit to hammer drill a pilot hole, centered in each of the two 7/8" chassis template’s anchor bracket holes
(used for ¾" anchors). If the drill bit hits rebar before reaching the required 6¼” minimum depth, shift both the
wedge plate and chassis template positions to find obstruction free concrete.
• If the drill hits rebar, use one of the other 9/16" chassis template anchor holes provided.
• Use epoxy and anchor bolts on all mounting locations AFTER setting chassis and properly aligning holes.

WedgeSmart DC: Attach Chain & Arm
1
Attach the Wedge Plate Chain
A counter balance spring is used to assist the motor when lifting the wedge plate from the
Open (down) position. The spring is shipped extended (unloaded). To lower and attach
the plate side chain you must use the manual hand wheel to compress the spring.
• Verify both the AC & DC power is OFF
• Pull the manual override pin allowing the hand crank to
drop down and engage the square output shaft on the
gearbox.
NOTE: Removing the pin opens the stop switch which sends a
stop command to the ST Controller to prevent the operator
from running.
• Turn the hand wheel to lower the chain. Continue turning
until ball swivel reaches the wedge plate connection
point.
NOTE: Turning the hand wheel will grow more difcult as the
chain wraps the sprocket and compresses the spring.
• Attach chain with aluminum bolt. Use washers to align
chain with the gear box pulley. Tighten securely. (Snug
with additional 1/4 turn.)
NOTE: This aluminum bolt serves as a shearing connection if the
wedge plate is ever struck from the opposite direction. Using a
steel bolt at this connection may damage the gearbox and chassis
and void the HySecurity warranty.
• Turn the manual override hand wheel in the opposite
direction to lift the wedge plate. The anchor strap will limit
travel of the plate at 45 degrees.
• Turn the manual override to lower the plate. Verify the
anchor strap folds in the correct direction.
• Attach the two inside covers and the anchor strap cover.
• Lift the manual override hand wheel to align the holes and insert the manual override pin.
• Verify the end of the pull pin trips the STOP switch.

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 copper-clad 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 unspliced 6AWG copper wire less than 3 feet (91cm) long. Due to the large concrete
foundation, make the necessary adjustments to accommodate for earth ground
requirements.
• Local jurisdictions may impose additional or different requirements above
the NEC and NFPA 780. Consult the local codes and regulations regarding
requirements in your area.
NOTICE: Properly grounding the gate operator is critical to gate operator
performance and personnel safety. Equipment containing electronics may
benet when the earth ground discharges excessive voltage. Use sufcient
wire size during installation. If you do not ground the operator with a separate
earth ground rod, you risk voiding the Warranty.
1. Install the grounding rod per local building codes.
2. Attach a large earth ground wire (6AWG) from the grounding rod to the
lug nut on the chassis. Feed the 6AWG wire from the chassis to the earth
ground rod.
DANGER
The potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, barrier arms,
fences, and gate operators. National Electric Code (NEC) requires a
separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.
NOT TO SCALE
TRAFFIC LIGHT OPTION
An additional trafc light can be mounted on the chassis and is
useful in bi-directional trafc situations. The packaged option kit
