Welcome to HySecurity Thank you for purchasing our premium StrongArmPark DC™ Gate Operator. At HySecurity Gate, Inc., we pride ourselves on quality. All operator designs are tested for hundreds of thousands of cycles before being released to the market. Traffic barrier, slide, swing, fortified crash barrier gate and vertical lift operators have all received rigorous testing and certification.
Notices and Bulletins Installers should visit HySecurity’s online Technical Support page at www.hysecurity.com or contact HySecurity prior to installing product to make sure they have received the most up-to-date information. Supplemental Documents The product literature is comprehensive and contains information needed to plan, install, operate and maintain your gate operator. Additional general information concerning HySecurity gate operators can be obtained from the following: • HySecurity web site www.
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.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the product manuals. Have a qualified 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.
Safety - Installer’s Responsibility, continued • Open and close the gate to confirm 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 qualified technician test the gate monthly.
Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class The StrongArmPark DC operator is approved for all the following classes and, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the Slide Gate and Vertical Barrier Arm category for gate operators. Its usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate services.
Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection The site designer or installer determines which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with the StrongArmPark DC operator. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described below. For a complete listing of the requirements, see UL 325 Safety Standards. NOTICE: StrongArmPark DC is equipped with a primary, inherent entrapment sensor (IES) similar to Type A which complies with UL 325.
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.
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. Nylon bolts with steel nuts Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) The StrongArmPark DC provides an added feature in its inherent entrapment sensor (IES).
Safety Notices The following four levels of safety notices are used where applicable within this manual; each notice contains information specific to the situation. DANGER Indicates death or serious injury will occur if the hazardous situation is not avoided. WARNING Indicates death or serious injury could occur if the hazardous situation is not avoided. CAUTION Indicates mild or moderate injury could occur if the hazardous situation is not avoided.
Power 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.
Wiring AC Power The StrongArmPark DC has separate Installation Instructions that explain how to connect to AC power. For reference purposes, the same information is provided below. Size the primary wires. Consider the voltage and length of the wire run from the main power panel. Make sure you have set the voltage selector switch to the proper voltage. DANGER Turn OFF AC power at the source (circuit breaker panel) before accessing the wires in the StrongArmPark DC.
Wiring 115VAC Power LED indicator changes color: GREEN indicates AC power and RUN mode. YELLOW designates MENU mode. RED indicates Alert, Fault, or Error. For standard 115VAC power connection: INSIDE LOOP Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits. The higher voltage from the AC power supply may cause interference and anomalies in StrongArmPark DC operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same conduit.
Wiring 208/230VAC Power CAUTION All StrongArmPark DC operators are shipped from the factory as 115VAC units. When connecting to 208/230VAC power, the voltage selector switch on the AC power board must be moved to the 230V position or damage to the operator will occur and void the Limited Warranty For the 208/230VAC power connection: • Verify AC power supply wires and low voltage (12V & 24V accessory power wires) run through two separate conduits as discussed in Wiring 115VAC Power.
Connecting DC Power Red spade connector To connect the DC power: 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.

Display & Menu Options Highly sophisticated software provides three different modes of operation: run, program, and fault. How to navigate using the Smart DC Controller (SDC) keypad, interpret status display codes and program the operator is found in this section. Initial Setup Once you have completed the installation, attached accessories and turned power ON, you’re ready to program the operator.
Menu Mode In Menu Mode, the motor disengages and operator commands are ignored. Data entry, menu navigation, and menu selection can be accomplished using the buttons on the Smart DC Controller keypad. NOTE: Menu Mode automatically returns to Run Mode if no activity (i.e. key presses) occurs for two minutes. 32-character display provides codes which provide information about the menu items. Two blinking characters indicate that the display will accept changes.
Run Mode The Run Mode displays appear static when the operator is ready and waiting for a run command. When the display is flashing “GATE OPENING” or “GATE CLOSING”, a command has been received and the barrier gate is in motion. The command may come from a variety of sources: a card reader, push-button remote, or recognition of a vehicle passing over a loop detector. In all cases, the operator “runs” the motor when it receives an operational command.
User Menu The User Menu consists of several items which can be modified using the Smart DC Controller keypad. Access: Pressing the MENU button, at one of the static Run Mode displays, causes the operator status displays to scroll past, stop and display the first user menu item. When the Close Timer (or Hold to Close “HC”) display appears, it means you have accessed the User Menu. The Close Timer display is the first in a cyclical series of User Menu displays.
User Menu BF 0 (OFF) Warn Before Operate FA 0 (OFF) Forced Open Alert DA 0 (OFF) Drift Close Alert PE 0 (OFF) Photo Eye Alignment CL 0 Set Clock LD 5 LCD Contrast Setting Options Menu Tasks & Explanations 0 = off 1 = warning buzzer on throughout Gate travel 2 = warning buzzer on for 2 seconds of Gate travel Controls the warn-before-operate buzzer and can be configured three ways: Set to 0: Buzzer is disabled.

It adjusts the time delay before activation of the User Relay function.
Setting the Time and Date A feature of the Smart DC Controller is its 24-hour, 365 day clock. Make sure it is set to the appropriate time zone. An accurate time and date allows the diagnostic log to date stamp operational data which indicates when Alerts, Faults and Errors occur. The log helps in troubleshooting and can be viewed using the S.T.A.R.T. software application via a laptop connected to the USB or RS-232 port. For more information, refer to “Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve Tool (S.T.A.R.T.
Resetting Open and Close Limits Resetting the open and close limits is easily accomplished by accessing the Installer Menu. Access to the Installer Menu is through the User Menu. See the flowchart below. Status Display GATE CLOSED Press MENU twice at the Run Mode static display. User Menu CT 0 (OFF) Installer Menu LL 0 (OFF) To access the Installer Menu, press and hold RESET & OPEN, and then release them. Press Select. The “LL” characters blink.
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 SDC. 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 barrier arm. 2. Test the operator.
Setting the Close Timer As an added security measure and to make sure the barrier arm closes automatically within a reasonable time frame after all loops are cleared, you must set the Close Timer. The Close Timer assigns how many seconds will pass before the operator initiates closure of a fully opened barrier arm after all open commands and reversing sensor inputs have ceased and loops cleared.
SDC Inputs & Wiring This section provides information about the Smart DC Controller, its inputs for peripheral connections, and its monitoring capabilities. This section explains how to: • Make Connections on the Smart DC Controller • Integrate with Security Systems • Connect HY-5A Vehicle Detectors • Connect Accessory Devices Entrapment Sensor Connections Access Controls User Relays 115 1Ø SERV ICE 115 VA OUTLET C, 15A www.hysecurity.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller The Smart DC Controller uses LED’s to indicate active inputs when AC power is present. For operators that use only DC power, you can push a button to show the active inputs. This SHOW LEDS button is at the bottom left corner near the EMERG OPEN input. On a new operator no active inputs should appear until external accessories and wiring are attached. If any inputs are active before connecting external wiring, refer to Troubleshooting.
Integrating with Security Systems HySecurity gate operators provide a 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 master to the connected operators. Several physical operators (1 to 99) can be polled from the central master command station.
Smart DC Controller Inputs When using AC power, an LED lights next to active inputs. On a new operator, no active input should appear until external accessories and wiring are attached. If any inputs are active before connecting external wiring, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 5-1. 1. Test the open and close function of the barrier arm before wiring to accessory devices (external control inputs).

Connection for Photo Eye Close direction. Can be changed to a monitored Normally Closed (N.C.) contact through the Installer Menu.
Connecting Accessory Devices 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-specific 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.
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 flashing 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.
Relay No. Name Description Wire Connection 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 few seconds, after stopping. Relay 1 Gate forced open output Controls an external warning device.
Relay No. Name Flasher Relay 19 Description Wire Connection Flashes lights once per second. The relay is constantly pulsing except when the open limit switch is triggered. Relay 1 or 2* * Preferred connection is Relay 2, a solid state relay. 20 Free Exit Loop Vehicle Detector output Active when the Free Exit Loop is tripped. Relay 1 21 Inside Obstruction Vehicle Detector output Active when the Inside Obstruction loops is tripped.
Revenue Control Parking Applications Additional mechanical relay options are shown in Table 5. Any of the options can be configured through the relays on the Smart DC Controller. If you need additional mechanical relay terminals, an optional extended relay module with 8 terminals is available from HySecurity. NOTE: System baud rate: 38,400 Programmable User Relays: Table 5 StrongArmPark DC Revenue Control Parking Application Relay No. Name Description Input.
Relay No. Name Wire Connection N.O. Input. The relay outputs a 250ms pulse and decrements the tenant counter when the SPECIAL USER input is activated and IALD, then CLD, are tripped and released. This activity signals a customer has exited the facility. R1, R3 through R10SPECIAL USER Set aside for Factory Use HySecurity Testing Only Do not use 38 39 Description Outbound Special Output Extended Relay Module Option The extended relay module provides 8 numbered mechanical relays.
Vehicle Detector Logic Mode Selection The Detector Logic (DL) menu item, found in the Installer Menu, 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, re-check the the Close Timer (CT) setting to make sure it’s compatible. The two selectable modes for DL are as follows: Mode 1 (Default): The default setting 1 causes the Close Timer to start when the Center Loop is clear.
The vehicle detector input functions are as follows: • Free Exit Loop Detector - Opens a fully closed gate. • Inside Obstruction Loop Detector (IOLD) - Triggered by the inside (secure side) vehicle detector loop • Outside Obstruction Loop Detector (OOLD) - Triggered by the outside (public side) vehicle detector loop • Center/Reset/Shadow Loop Detector (CLD) - On barrier arm gates, prevents closure when active. On swing gates, prevents gate from opening or closing when the vehicle detector is active.
Sensitivity dial 70 1 4 5 6 9. Sensitivity is the only adjustment available on the detector itself. Generally, sensitivity does not need to be increased unless the loop is large or there are multiple loops connected to one detector. 23 “Installer Menu: Table 2.” on page 3-7. For example, CLD0 RUN MODE CENTER LOOP SET controls the center loop detector. NOTE: Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of loop area to one detector.
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.
Configuration Configure 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.
Troubleshooting The Smart DC 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 defined interval • Gate travel stops !ACTION BLOCKED PHOTO EYE CLOSE Refer to Table 3, “Troubleshooting Codes” on page 5-2, for details concerning identification and description of Alerts, Faults and Errors.
Troubleshooting Codes Table 3: Troubleshooting Codes Alert/Fault/Error Display Type Buzzer Possible Cause ENTRAPMENT MODE ALERT 4 to 5 chirps/s for 5 minutes or until cleared Occurs when the inherent sensor is tripped when the gate is already in Safe Mode.
