READ THIS FIRST! Important Information – Review Before Installation Automatic gate operators provide convenience and security to users. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force it is important that all gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of the potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed or maintained systems. Keep in mind that the gate operator is only one component of the total gate operating system.
Install An Automatic Barrier Arm Gate Operator Only When: The operator will be properly electrically grounded and the intended supply voltage matches the voltage label on the operator. The controls that operate the gate have been mounted far enough away from the moving gate such that users cannot touch the gate while operating the controls. All easily accessible controls must have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
Important Information for Gate System Owners & Users WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions in the gate operator handbook and on the warning labels. Save These Important Owner and User Instructions: (Installers – be certain to instruct the owners and users about the following items) Automatic gates are for vehicular use only! Provide walkways and signs to direct pedestrians and bicycles to a separate walk-through entrance.

Installation Preparation Checklist 1. Read all of the instructions, especially the Important Information in Section 1 at the beginning of this manual, before you attempt installation. This section is focused upon mechanical installation. For electrical setup, refer to Section 3, on system configuration and use of the Smart Touch Controller. 2. Pour a concrete mounting slab that is a minimum of 20‖ x 20‖ x 20‖ with the electrical conduits located correctly to enter the chassis.
Installation 4. Electrical power Connection This operator is intended for permanent installation, so all electrical conduits must be properly connected to the control box. The entry for the primary power is a ½ - ¾‖ knockout on the left side of our control box next to the onoff switch. This operator was built to run on a specific voltage and phase for line power. Make sure the available line voltage and phase matches the nameplate on this machine. Also be certain that the wire size of the branch circuit vs.
Installation Attaching Barrier Arms to the Operator 1. Bolt arm(s) to operator. The maximum length for a single wood board is 14' length. Wood arms that are longer than 14' must be twin arms bolted together near the tip. 2. Counterweights must be used for all arms over 18' in length, to assure proper performance. Verify proper balance by following step #2 on StrongArm (HTG 320) adjustments page. 3. Tubular aluminum arms may be single side mounted up to 18’ in length.

StrongArm (HTG 320) Adjustments The StrongArm (HTG 320) gate operator is pre-adjusted at the factory to perform correctly with the barrier arm shipped. If the arm length, or weight is changed, it may be necessary to re-adjust the gate operator to perform correctly. To properly adjust the StrongArm gate operator, perform all adjustments in the sequence listed.
Brake Valves: When the limit switches are correctly set to trip a little early, the speed of the barrier arm may decelerated to allow smooth stops. The rate of deceleration is adjusted by the red colored brake valves, one for each direction of travel. The brake valve closest to the electric motor controls the close direction (see drawing HTC35 ST on page 12). The brake valve on the left controls the open direction.

Placement and Use of Secondary Pedestrian Entrapment Sensors WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, read and follow all instructions in the gate operator handbook and on the warning labels. Automatic gate operators are intended only for vehicular use and pedestrians must be routed to a separate man gate, however sensors are still required in order to provide a degree of protection should anyone happen to stray into the area of an automatic gate.
Installing Photoelectric (Non-contact) Sensors General Information: Follow the guidelines in the Entrapment Protection Schematic to plan the most appropriate mounting positions for the photo-eye sensors to be installed. If there are no other secondary external entrapment protection sensors (typically an edge sensor), at least one photoelectric sensor is required to serve to stop the gate if an obstruction is present.
Installing Photoelectric (Non-contact) Sensors (continued) Photo Eye Function: A tripped photo eye will prevent the gate from starting in either direction if the gate is stationary. 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 five seconds. An optional setting in the Installer Menu will cause a 2 second reversal of travel. See Installer menu item 12 on page 23.
Detector Loop Installation Guide Detector Basics The vehicle detector passes a small current flow through the ―loop‖ which then becomes an inductive coil. When a vehicle passes over a loop the detector senses the resultant drop in the inductance, and actuates the detector output. Loop Configurations Configurations differ depending on the application. In parking applications with the StrongArm operator, a loop may be as small as 3’ x 6’.
Detector Loop Installation Guide, continued 8. Follow this guide for the correct number of wire turns according to the perimeter size of the loop: 10 to 13 lf. = 5 turns 14 to 26 lf. = 4 turns 27 to 45 lf. = 3 turns 46 to 100 lf. = 2 turns 9. This guide is written from a design perspective, but installation workmanship practices are equally important to insure proper operation and long loop life.

Vehicle Detector Installation Options The Smart Touch Controller provides a feature rich interface to four different vehicle detector inputs. Standard box type 11 pin (24 Volt DC or 24 Volt AC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner, see page 38. HySecurity also offers a custom mini detector module that plugs directly into the Smart Touch Control board. Not only is the field installation much faster, but there is also a large performance benefit.
HySecurity HY-5A Vehicle Detector Installation 1. Insert the locking end of each of two 1‖ long white plastic standoffs into the mounting holes on the detector. 2. Plug the detector into the appropriate socket along the right side edge of the Smart Touch Controller board for the detector function that is desired. Be careful to align the six detector pins into the socket correctly, and then snap the standoffs into the holes on the right side of our control enclosure. 3.
Standard 11 Pin Box Type Vehicle Detector Installation 1. If standard 11 pin vehicle detectors are to be used, snap up to three sockets onto the aluminum DIN mounting rail, with the key in the center hole facing to the left. Mount on the shelf near the top of the operator and wire as shown below. 2. Both 24 Volts AC or DC are available, so either detector voltage may be used.
Detector & Loop Fault Diagnostics If HySecurity HY-5A mini detector modules are used, the Smart Touch Controller has ability to store and report detector and loop fault information for performance diagnostics. If The Smart Touch Controller senses a loop or detector problem, the LCD display will flash the abbreviation for the affected detector (ELd – ioLd – ooLd – rLd) then it will flash the appropriate Alert Code [ALE_] to disclose the nature of the problem and the buzzer will chirp.
24 Hr, 7 Day Timer Option This is an option you can order from HySecurity. The timer generates an open command which will hold the gate open until it is released. Instructions on how to use and program it accompany the timer.
Troubleshooting Guide, StrongArm (HTG 320) Gate Operators Important Note: If the manual bypass valve is open, the electric motor will run, but nothing will move. See the drawing on page 10 to locate the bypass valve. To close the valve, twist to allow the knob to re-engage. Electrical Problems in General: The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions on its LCD display and the buzzer will emit a series of chirps at defined intervals.
Troubleshooting The Smart Touch Controller system includes many self diagnostic capabilities. The LCD will display specific messages and the Audio Alert buzzer will sound distinctive chirps. Any Alerts, Faults or Errors are also logged into a memory and stamped with a time and date. For diagnostic purposes, these messages can be retrieved with optional WinLogger software available from HySecurity Gate.
General Maintenance Hydraulic System Fluid Level: Under normal conditions, hydraulic systems do not consume oil. Before adding any oil, check the system thoroughly for leaks. Remove the bright metal plug in the tank, fill to plug level, then replace plug. We recommend our Uniflow hydraulic oil; part number H004 1.0, which is sold in one-gallon containers by our distributors. Never use brake fluid. It will severely damage the entire hydraulic system.

IMPORTANT SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING D.C. POWERED GATE OPERATORS The on/off switch on the electric control panel of the drive unit does not disable all DC power to the operator, even if the AC power has been disabled at its source. The large rotary switch in the DC power supply enclosure must be actuated off to insure disconnect of all DC power to the drive unit. The disconnect in the power supply must be off if the AC source power will be absent for more than one week.
Wiring and Control Configuration for DC Operators If this installation is a 24-Volt DC battery type gate operator, there are a few additional steps that must be completed before the system can be functional. Review the installation instructions on page 10 and the connection diagram on page 50. Be certain the DC power disconnect switch is turned off before making any connections. 1.
