Installer's Check List INSTALLER'S CHECK LIST The following list provides a high level overview of the tasks involved in installing the SwingSmart DC gate operator. Take a moment to review the list and check off the items as you complete the install. ? ? Site Prep - concrete pad location/dimensions/distance from gate, conduits and vehicle detector loops properly installed, gate bracket and linkage arm mounting considerations.
Important Safety Instructions Safety Requirements Automatic gate operators provide user convenience and security. However, because these machines can produce high levels of force, it is imperative that gate operator system designers, installers and end users be aware of potential hazards associated with improperly designed, installed, or maintained systems. The gate operator is only one component of the total gate operating system.
Important Safety Instructions • • • • • • • • • • • Before attaching the operator to the gate, move the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves freely. A gate that swings easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the opening or closing of the gate. Make sure there is a separate walk-through entrance nearby. Make certain a clear pedestrian path is designated and signs direct pedestrians to the walk-through gate.
Important Safety Instructions Safety Standards - Owner/User Responsibility ! WARNING A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Automatic gate operators move gates with high force. Make sure gates and gate operators are installed to reduce the risks of entrapment. Verify your gate and gate operator comply with UL 325 Safety Standards and ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards. Ask for a copy of the gate operator’s product literature and review it.
Important Safety Instructions Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal SwingSmart uses sealed, state-of-the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and highly recommends replacing used batteries with new AGM-type batteries. ! CAUTION The batteries used with the SwingSmart gate operator contain materials that are considered hazardous to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. Refer to federal guidelines found in Hazardous Waste Regulations.
Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION SENSORS SwingSmart is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES). UL 325 Safety Standard compliance requires installation of secondary entrapment protection sensors, the number of which, depends on the entrapment hazards that exist at each particular installation.
Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class The SwingSmart operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the Swing Gate and Vertical Barrier Arm category for gate operators. It’s usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate services.
Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors Choosing Secondary Entrapment Protection The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with the SwingSmart operator to meet UL compliance. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described below. For a complete listing of the requirements, see UL 325 Safety Standards. NOTE SwingSmart is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES) that complies with UL 325.
Emergency Stop Button EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON An emergency stop button that is accessible from the outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance with UL325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop button on the SwingSmart operator is located inside a hole cutout on the cover. Pressing the emergency stop button while the gate is opening or closing disables the automatic close timer and stops gate travel. The gate travel remains stopped until the operator receives any open or close signal.
Wind Load Factors & Site Prep 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 will affect the load on the gate operator.
Safety Notices 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.
Site Overview & Planning Installation Chapter 1 SITE OVERVIEW & PLANNING Public Side Keypad or Card Reader Mount access control devices at least 6ft (1.8m) beyond gate. Pedestrian gate Make sure a separate walkthrough entrance is available and its pedestrian path is clearly designated. CL Wind Load Factors Design gate panels to accommodate for wind loads.
Pad Condition PAD CONDITION Pouring the Concrete 1. Follow the local building codes to identify the frost line and determine the required depth of the concrete pad. HySecurity recommends a minimum 16-inch (40.6cm) depth with a minimum 2-inch (51cm) extension above ground level. Refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3. 2. Before pouring the pad, consider conduit placement so it fits within the confines of the cutout in the SwingSmart base plate as shown in Figure 1-3.

Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Tapped hole used for linkage arm adjustments. Elbow Set screw Use the set screw to finetune the vertical orientation of the pivot bolt and prevent the arm from locking. Over-extension stop Pivot bolt must run parallel with the vertical axis of the operator. Note: The elbow pivot bolt must be parallel with the vertical axis of the operator. If the pivot bolt is not vertical, binding of the arm assembly may occur during operation. Figure 1-10.
Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Adjusting the Limit Switches PUBLIC SIDE Left hand OPEN Right hand OPEN SECURE SIDE Figure 1-12. 1. Determine whether the gate operator is a right-hand operator or left-hand operator. See Figure 1-12. Stand on the secure side of the gate. If the gate opens to the right, it is a right-hand operator.
Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Completing Gate Arm Installation To weld the linkage arms: Weld a 1/8-inch fillet around the tubing joint. 1B To use fasteners: Drill holes with a 17/64-inch drill bit and connect arms with 1/4 - 20 UNC fasteners. WELD 1/8" 1A DRILL & BOLT (2x) 1/8" Figure 1-14. 1. To determine whether you should drill & bolt or weld the linkage arms, you should take into consideration site planning and future impact to gate arm installation. Check whether fire bans exist at your site.

Cover fastener Over-extension stop Cut excess Top cover Elbow joint Bottom cover Cover fastener Figure 1-15. NOTE The two elbow joint cover fasteners are shipped with the covers. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Saw the excess from the over-extension stop. Be careful not to cut the linkage arms or pivot bolt fasteners. Place the covers over the elbow joint.
Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Articulating Arm Option The articulating arm assembly uses a spherical rod end at the elbow and at the bracket mount. Situations where you might use this option include: • The operator pad or gate is not level. The spherical rod ends on the articulating arm forgive minor discrepancies where the hardware may not be perfectly plumb. • The gate arm is not horizontal.
Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Setting the Taper Clamp Loosen Taper handle 45° angle Tighten Simulate a gate strike with ~ 100 lbs. of force. Retract Figure 1-16. NOTE Setting the taper clamp with the gate closed impedes traffic flow. If vehicles need to pass through the gate area, delay setting the taper clamp until after the operator has been configured to run. Refer to Chapter 3, Configuring the Setup Menu. The taper clamp is made of two pieces: a cone-shaped hub fits into a taper clamp assembly.
Gate Bracket and Linkage Arms Locking the Gate Arm at Secure Facilities The purpose in leaving the gate arm with a slight bend in it (i.e. turning the set screw to offset the over travel stop) is to lessen the transference of energy along the gate arm during gate strikes. With the gate arm bent at a slight angle, it can absorb more of the impact and possibly cause less damage to the gear box in the SwingSmartDC operator.
Installing the Earth Ground Power Chapter 2 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. ! DANGER The potential for lightning discharge exists with all gates, fences and gate operators. National Electric Code (NEC) requires a separate earth ground in addition to the required equipment ground.
Installing the Earth Ground Take the following steps to comply with NEC and NFPA 780 standards: 1. Install a grounding rod per local building codes. See Figure 2-1. 2. Attach a large earth ground wire (6AWG) from the grounding rod to the lug nut on the base of the chassis. • New site: Run the 6AWG wire through the concrete base and into the cutout on the chassis base. • Existing site: Run the 6AWG wire beneath the rear cover. Make sure the covers align and side latches lock properly.
Wiring AC Power WIRING AC POWER ! DANGER Turn off AC power at the source (circuit breaker panel) before accessing the wires in the SwingSmart junction box. Follow facility Lock Out/Tag Out procedures. Make sure both the DC and AC power switches, on the side of the SwingSmart control box are in the off position. See Figure 2-2. ! CAUTION Wiring of gate operators must conform to the NEC standards and comply with all local codes. If you plan to connect to 208/230VAC power, read the WARNING in Figure 2-2.
Wiring AC Power Wiring 115VAC Power For standard 115VAC power connection: • 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 SwingSmart operation if the high and low voltage wires are routed through the same conduit. • Maximum gate operator current draw is 3 Amps on a dedicated 115VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is recommended).
Wiring AC Power 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. • Maximum gate operator current draw is 1.5 Amps on a dedicated 208/230VAC circuit (20A dedicated circuit is recommended). • Make sure proper wiring is being used. Refer to the following table: Table 2-2.
Connecting DC Power CONNECTING DC POWER 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. See Figure 2-4. Note: For extended battery backup installation, refer to the Installing the Extended Battery Backup Kit instructions. Red spade connector USING A SOLAR POWERED OPERATOR Figure 2-4.
Using A Solar Powered Operator Design Requirements & Considerations Two standard 8Ah batteries are supplied with SwingSmart DCS 20 and nominally support up to 100 cycles per day based on the following: • Battery storage capacity based on 5 solar hours per day. See Figure 2-7. • 20WATT solar panel system (minimum requirement). See Figure 2-5. • A gate weight of 750lbs (340kg) and gate length of 12ft (3.7m) • Connection to two HY-5A and one multi-code radio receiver.
Using A Solar Powered Operator Connecting the SwingSmart DCS 20 to Solar Power Panels 1. Use 14 gauge wire or larger to connect the solar panel(s) within 100ft (30.5m) of the operator. Check NEC and local regulations if other distances apply. 2. Use one 24VDC solar panel or two 12VDC solar panels in series with a total capacity of at least 20W. Mount them according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. 3.
Using A Solar Powered Operator . Control Box DC Battery & Motor switch (OFF) Red spade connector DC Solar Panel switch (OFF) Input & ground wires Figure 2-6.
Using A Solar Powered Operator Connecting Peripherals to Solar Operators CAUTION The 24VAC power supply shown in Figure 2-7 is not to be used for peripheral connections because the 24VAC terminals are directly connected to the solar panel inputs. Any peripherals attached to the 24VAC terminals could be severely damaged due to varying voltage levels.
Using A Solar Powered Operator For example, the Smart DC Controller has specific connections for photo eyes. When you attach photo eyes for entrapment protection, you have the option to wire the photo eyes to the EYE COM and +24VDC. When wired to these connections, the photo eyes only draw power when the motor engages, thereby extending battery life. The same can be said for HY-5A vehicle detectors which draw a minimal 0.005A per detector; compared to box detectors which usually draw, at minimum, 0.009A.
Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR DC-POWERED OPERATORS • • • • Since the operator is intended to run on batteries, control of the load is important. Gates that move easily and do not bind will drain less energy from the battery, preserving capacity for more cycles during a power failure. Be certain to observe polarity when connecting the batteries or adding accessories. Reversed polarity may result in a non-functional operator or damage to a component.
Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators Installing the Extended Battery Backup Kit DC power switch in the off position AC power switch in the off position Battery 50 Ah Battery 50 Ah Accessory tray Figure 2-9. HySecurity offers extended DC power back up option with two 50Ah batteries. Contact HySecurity parts department to order extended battery backup kit (P/N MX001810). To install the extended battery backup kit: 1. Turn off the DC and AC power switches. Loosen tray 2.
Important Considerations for DC-powered Operators 7. Place the 50Ah battery tray between the chassis posts and secure it using the four fasteners provided in the kit. See Figure 2-11. 8. Situate the two 50Ah batteries on the tray. 9. Attach the blue wire from the red terminal on one 50Ah battery to the black terminal on other 50Ah battery. 10. Run the 8Ah wire harness through hole in the 8Ah battery support tray. 11.
Initial Setup Display and Menu Options Chapter 3 This section of the manual provides information about the display and menu options. It includes how to: • Turn both AC and DC power switches on.
Initial Setup Turning Both Power Switches On One AC and one DC rocker power switch are located on the outside edge of the control box. Refer to Figure 3-1. 1. Turn both power switches ON. An audible beep occurs and a red light pulsates next to the OPEN button on the Smart DC Controller which indicates the system is functioning. Note:If AC power is lost, the rate of flashing slows down. Other indicator lights are described below. DC Power Switch 2.
Initial Setup Using the Smart DC Controller Buttons In Menu Mode The buttons on the Smart DC Controller let you navigate, change, or clear the information in the display menus. Refer to Figure 3-2. The buttons with text above and below are variable function keys (VFK). Use these buttons to enter or change operational data and navigate through the User and Installer Menus. The singular use of a variable function key is dependent on operator mode.
Initial Setup Configuring the Setup Menu The USAGE CLASS display appears the first time power is supplied. See Figure 3-3. Note:If a gate status display appears, the Setup Menu has already been configured. Refer to Understanding Gate Status Displays. Four sequential displays present information which must be configured before SwingSmart will function. Once the configuration is complete, the information is retained even when a power loss occurs.
Run Mode RUN MODE Gate status displays appear when the operator is ready and waiting for a gate operation command. When the menu display is flashing “GATE OPENING” or “GATE CLOSING” a command has been received and the operator is responding appropriately. The command may come from a variety of sources: a card reader, pushbutton remote, or recognition of a vehicle passing over a loop detector. In all cases, the operator “runs” the motor when it receives a gate operation command.
Run Mode Using the Smart DC Controller Buttons In RUN Mode The Run Mode buttons are distinguished by the fact that their name appears above each button. The buttons with text above and below are variable function keys (VFK) and function differently depending on the mode of the operator. Three different modes exist: • Run Mode - gate is operational awaiting commands. • Menu Mode - motor disengages and operator commands are ignored.
Run Mode Viewing Operator Status Displays Eight operator status displays appear in two second intervals and show pertinent information which provides a quick overview of the operator’s status or configurations. Refer to Figure 3-6. NOTE Items shown inside the brackets < > are variables that may change depending on operator configurations. The examples shown in Figure 3-6 may appear differently on your operator. Variables Description SOFTWARE VERSION H5.
User Menu USER MENU The User Menu consists of twelve functions which can be modified using the Smart DC Controller buttons. Refer to Using the Smart DC Controller Buttons In Menu Mode. To access the User Menu, take the following steps: 1. At a gate status display, press the MENU button. Eight operator status displays scroll past and the CLOSE TIMER display appears. Note:To access the User Menu, the operator must be in Run Mode. The motor cannot be engaged and the gate cannot be moving. 2.
User Menu Adjusting the Close Timer The close timer assigns how many seconds will pass before the operator initiates closure of a fully opened gate after all open commands and reversing sensor inputs have ceased. Every gate operator needs to have the close timer set to a specific number of seconds unless a hard-wired closing device is connected to the unit such as a push-button station. To adjust the time (1 to 99 seconds) it takes before the operator initiates gate closure, take the following steps: 1.
User Menu 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 via a laptop connected to the USB or RS232 port. For more information, refer to Smart DC Controller Troubleshooting.
User Menu Setting AC Power Loss Gate Function The setting in the AC LOSS display determines what action the operator performs during an AC power loss. The settings help reduce drain on the battery. You can choose between four settings depending on customer preferences. NOTE DC Solar Powered units can only be set for AP0 or AP1. AP 0 AC LOSS UPS FAIL OPEN AP 1 AC LOSS UPS FAIL CLOSE Normal gate functions continue until the system detects a battery voltage drop below 21V.
User Menu Adjusting the Display Contrast The display contrast can be adjusted from 1 to 9 to increase visibility and ease of use. It is set at the factory to level 5. The text becomes darker as you go up the scale. To adjust the contrast (1 to 9), take the following steps: 1. At a gate status display, press the MENU button twice. This accesses the User Menu and the CLOSE TIMER display appears. 2. Press NEXT until the LCD CONTRAST display appears. 3.

Installer Menu INSTALLER MENU The Installer Menu consists of several functions which can be modified using the Smart DC Controller buttons or configured through the use of a laptop computer and the S.T.A.R.T. software available from the HySecurity website. The Installer Menu options provide more advanced configurations for the SwingSmart operator. Access to the Installer Menu is through the User Menu. The navigational buttons are the same in both menu modes.
Installer Menu Adjusting the Gate Speed The gate speed designates how quickly the gate opens and closes. The available range from 1 to 10 varies the speed of the motor and the gate speed increases as you go up the number scale. The adjustable speed range is approximately 15 seconds to 10 seconds. NOTE Two displays, one for OPEN SPEED the other for CLOSE SPEED, exist in the Smart DC Controller. The steps involved in changing the open speed are shown below.
Installer Menu Adjusting the IES Sensitivity SwingSmart uses a primary Type-A inherent entrapment sensor (IES) per UL325 Safety Standards. A solid immovable object blocking the gate will trip the IES and cause the operator to stop and reverse (for two seconds) and enter safe mode. The adaptive IES software monitors the average running motor current while the gate is in motion and reverses the gate when the current exceeds an SE 2 automatically self-adapting average.
Installer Menu NOTE When changing the IES setting, consider the site design and vehicular gate traffic. It is recommended that you use the most sensitive setting while still allowing for reliable gate operation. Examples of conditions which affect IES sensitivity include:. Gate design - Do not use a solid panel gate design in areas of high wind. Though a higher IES setting may compensate for a minimal amount of wind load, do not use it to compensate for poor site planning and gate design.
Installer Menu Reinstating Factory Defaults Twelve menu configurations are available in the User Menu. Another 32 items in the Installer Menu let you customize the operator depending on the number of attached accessories and your customer’s needs. CAUTION Reinstating factory default clears ALL menu display settings stored in the operator and returns them to factory defaults. It is recommended that you save the menu settings before reinstating factory defaults.
Installer Menu Enabling the Fire Department Override Many counties and cities require a Fire Department override system for gate operators. The fire department’s alert system is a separate unit that must be connected to the SwingSmart DC Controller. The FIRE DEPARTMENT OPEN option must be properly configured through the Installer Menu before the operator will recognize the alert system. To enable the Fire Department Override, take the following steps: 1.

Smart DC Controller Chapter 4 This section provides information about the Smart DC Controller board; its inputs for peripheral connections and its monitoring capabilities. This section explains how to: 1. Review the connections on the Smart DC Controller 2. Perform a Preliminary Test of the components 3. Connect Vehicle Detectors 4. Connect Accessory Devices • Entrapment Sensor Connections • Access Controls • Manual Push-button Station • User Relays Figure 4-1.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller 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 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.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller Preliminary Testing All the control device inputs listed in Table 4-1 are shown as a single input. The second wire is connected to a Common Terminal Bus (1 - 8) on the Smart DC Controller board. The Fire Department Open input is an exception and requires a +24 Volt input as well as activation in the Installer Menu. For convenience a +24V terminal is located next to the EMERG OPEN terminal. Refer to Figure 4-2. Table 4-1. Smart DC Controller Board Inputs Terminal No.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller Vehicle Detector Installation Options The Smart DC Controller provides a feature-rich interface to four different vehicle detector inputs. NOTE Standard box type 11 pin (24 Volt DC or 24 Volt AC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner as described in Installing Standard 11-Pin Box Type Vehicle Detectors.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller There are four vehicle detector inputs available on the Smart DC Controller as well as via the direct plug in modules. The vehicle detector input functions are as follows: • • • • Free Exit Loop Detector - This opens a fully closed gate.
Overview of the Smart DC Controller 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. NOTE Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of loop area to one detector. • • • • • • • • If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary switch which has the following eight settings: 0 = Low with boost (See NOTE.

Connecting Accessory Devices CONNECTING ACCESSORY DEVICES All accessories require a minimum of two connections on the Smart DC Controller.: • a device input • a Common Bus Terminal (COM) Devices, such as gate edge sensors and photoelectric beams, must be installed to protect against entrapment. These secondary entrapment protection devices are required so the gate installation is in compliance with UL 325 Safety Standards.
Connecting Accessory Devices Manual Push-button Station A manual push-button station controls the gate operator and opens, stops, and closes the gate. It is most often used by a guard in a 24-hour guard station. An example of the push-button station connections on SwingSmart is shown in Figure 4-6. ! CAUTION Make sure the manual push-button station in within site of the gate, a distance (six foot, 1.8m minimum) away from the gate’s moving parts, and out of reach of children.
Connecting Accessory Devices User Relays - Programming Procedure The Smart DC Controller is able to interface with many types of external devices through the use of two userprogrammable output relays. All of the user relay functions identified and described in Table 4-3 are accessible in the Installer Menu. NOTE The User Relays will operate normally to less than 18VDC. The USER 2 RELAY is rated for DC only up to 48V and does not have an N.C. (normally closed) connection.

Power Requirements Bi-parting Gate Systems Chapter 5 Configuring two operators to be a Master and Slave pair is easy with the Smart DC Controller. There is no need to order a special model or any adapters. The area of the board marked Dual Gate employs a 3-wire RS-485 serial port for communication between master and slave operators. .
Master and Slave Wiring Connections • Complete the installation of both operators as separate machines and verify that their basic functions are correct as solo operators before interconnecting them. • External control inputs, vehicle detectors and entrapment protection sensors may be connected to either gate operator without regard to preference. • Be sure both operators are running the same software version.
Master and Slave Wiring Connections 1. As shown in Figure 5-2, connect a shielded communications cable to the DUAL GATE inputs in each unit. The inputs are located near the base of the Smart DC Controller. Be sure to connect the wires in pairs to the same terminal ports (A-A, B-B, and COM to COM) on both units. See Master Slave Connections on SDC Boards Table 5-2. Table 5-2. Master Slave Connections on SDC Boards Slave Master A A COM COM B B Shield wire to Ground* * Only ground to one unit.
Master and Slave Menu Setup MASTER AND SLAVE MENU SETUP Determine which unit will be set up as the Master. The other unit will be set up as the Slave. It doesn’t matter which unit is which, but you must identify the Master and Slave operators by taking the following steps: S.T.A.R.T. by configuring the MASTER unit. 1. At a gate status display, press the MENU button twice. This accesses the User Menu and the CLOSE TIMER display appears. 2.
Connecting a Radio Receiver for Remote Open Reference Chapter 6 This section of the manual provides information which may be useful when installing SwingSmart operators.
Connecting a Radio Receiver for Remote Open Note:This terminal is the same as the input terminal labeled RADIO OPEN along the left edge of the Smart DC Controller. 6. Mount an external antenna onto the top of a fixed fence post near the operator. 7. Connect the antenna into the socket on the radio receiver. 8. Set the “DIP” switches in the receiver to match the same code used in the transmitter.
Installing a MagLock or Solenoid Lock INSTALLING A MAGLOCK OR SOLENOID LOCK To provide additional gate security, a maglock or a solenoid lock can be used and connected to the Smart DC Controller. The Smart DC Controller releases the gate prior to initiating gate movement. Before installing the lock, be sure to: • Determine the electrical power requirements of your lock (maglock or solenoid lock). Electronic board and peripheral connections differ between high voltage and lower voltage gate operators.
Installing a MagLock or Solenoid Lock Installing a Lock on 24VAC Systems 1. Connect a wire from COM on USER 1 RELAY and one 24VAC power spade. See Figure 6-3 24VDC COM 24VDC COM COM 24VAC COM 24VAC COM 12VDC COM 12VDC 2 COM Note:Connect to NO on USER 1 RELAY if installing a Solenoid lock. 4.

Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops INSTALLING VEHICLE DETECTORS AND LOOPS A vehicle detector passes a small current flow through the “loop” which then becomes an inductive coil. When a vehicle passes over the 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, a loop may be as small as 4 x 6 foot (122 x 183cm).
Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops 9. This guide is written from a design perspective, but installation workmanship practices are equally important to insure proper operation and long loop life. The best way to insure a quality installation is to employ a professional installer experienced with detector loops. A few important practices are: • The slot in the surface of the road should be cut ¼-inch wide x 1½-inch deep 6.3 x 38.1mm).
Installing Vehicle Detectors and Loops PUBLIC SIDE This layout illustrates a bi-direc onal traffic system with controlled access entry (card reader, radio control, etc.) and a free exit gate.

Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only INSTALLING PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS FOR SECONDARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION ONLY Emitter Receiver Vehicle Loop (Center Loop) Reflector Entrapment area between open gate and wall Figure 6-9. Refer to Figure 6-9 to help plan the most appropriate placement for the photo eyes being installed as secondary entrapment protection devices.
Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only OPERATION NOTES: • • • • A photo eye trip does not reverse gate. The Smart DC Controller software is factory set to stop upon photo eye trip. Software is configurable to stop and reverse two seconds upon photo eye trip. If the photo eye is cleared within five seconds, the gate will proceed in the direction of travel. There are two common types of photoelectric sensors, thru-beam and retro-reflective, and each has its advantages.
Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only If the photo eye has an internal switch for setting Light Operate vs. Dark Operate, select Light Operate. 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. This is because, in the Light Operate mode, the output relay is normally energized and releases when the beam is blocked.
Installing Photoelectric Sensors For Secondary Entrapment Protection Only Notes about retro-reflective systems: Correct installation and alignment of a retro-reflective photo eye and its reflector 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 reflector, the chance of problems is greatly reduced.
Installing Gate Edge Sensors INSTALLING GATE EDGE SENSORS 3-sided edge sensor on the leading edge of the gate. 3-sided edge sensor on the bottom edge of the gate.* *Required for UL325 compliance if gate’s bottom edge is 6-inches (15cm) more above ground level. Figure 6-11. Refer to Figure 6-11 to plan the most appropriate placement of the edge sensors being installed. For swinging gates, one or more contact sensors (edge sensors) shall be located inside and outside the leading edge.

Smart DC Controller Troubleshooting Mount a commercial style radio receiver* (external antenna type) in the channel of the chassis on either side of the operator. Knock out the nearest hole in the bottom of the electrical box, and route the wires to the area labeled RADIO OPTIONS. Only three wire connections are needed because the common wire and one radio output wire connect to the same terminal.
