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 8.2KΩor 10KΩresistor, 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.

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 automatic gate operators. Hazards exist with automatic gate operators and can be reduced
with proper gate site design, installation and use. Installers, maintenance crews, and owners/users must
take responsibility to read and follow the safety requirements and Important Safety Information found in the
HySecurity product manuals and review all the literature that accompanies the product.
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 automatic 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 Standard of Safety, refer to www.ul.com.

impOrtant Safety infOrmatiOn
WARNING
A moving gate or barrier arm, bollard, or wedge can cause serious injury or death.
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
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage label on
the junction box.
• Verify and install an automatic gate operator per its usage class and only on gate sites that comply with ASTM
F2200 Gate and Fence Standards. See Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class on page <?>.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate and install sensors to monitor potential entrapment areas per UL 325
Standard of Safety, which includes:
•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 (57 mm) 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. Exposed rollers
must be capped to avoid potential entrapment.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points are eliminated or any exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are
guarded.
• External entrapment protection sensors must be used wherever the risk of entrapment exists.

Safety - Additional Installer’s Responsibility, continued
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• Be located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate access controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of the gate.
NOTE: An exception for Emergency Access Control devices exists. An EAC device accessible by
authorized personnel only (e.g. re, police, EMS) may be placed at any location within the line-of-sight.
•Open and close the gate to conrm that it was properly installed and to ensure monitoring sensors are working
correctly. Verify the clearance between the gate and adjacent structures per UL 325 Standard of Safety. 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. (Use the manual 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 Standard of Safety.
•Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business les.

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 gate, gate area, or gate operators.
• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually operate the gate.
• 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.
• Do not remove external entrapment protection sensors 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.
HazardOuS materiaLS and prOper diSpOSaL
Be aware of the international, federal, and local codes in your area and how best to handle hazardous waste
materials.
The pump pack uid, found in all hydraulic HySecurity operators, can be recycled. Gear oil, found in HySecurity
electromechanical gate operators, can also be recycled. If the uids are mixed or contaminated with any
solvents or other chemicals, they become hazardous waste. Hazardous waste requirements for storage and
disposal must be followed.
CAUTION
If the gate operator has a battery backup system, the batteries contain materials that are considered hazardous
to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. In the U.S.A., refer to federal EPA
guidelines for proper hazardous waste disposal.
