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.
Understand that you as the site designer, installer, maintenance crew, or owner/user must consider the risks
associated with gate operators. Be sure to take responsibility, read, and follow the Important Safety Information
in this manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use. Installers,
maintenance crews, and owners/users must read and follow the safety requirements found in the HySecurity
product manuals.
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 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 Safety Standards, refer to www.ul.com.

4D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
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.
Safety - Additional Installer Responsibility
• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. For all gate operators other than Crash-rated, refer to
Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class in this product manual. Install the operator only
when the gate operator class is correct for the site, size, and type of gate.
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the junction box.
• Install an automatic operator only on gates that comply with ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.
Screen or enclose openings in the gate per UL 325 Safety Standards which include:
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.

www.hysecurity.com Safety D0559 Rev. A 5
Safety - 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.
• Make sure all exposed pinch points, rollers and wheels are guarded.
• 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 operator.
• 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 located in a clear line of sight to the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of the gate.
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.
• Open and close the gate to conrm 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 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 Safety Standards.
Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business les.

6D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
Safety - Owner/User Responsibility
As the owner/user, you are responsible for the correct and safe installation, operation and maintenance of the
SlideDriver gate operator. It is of the utmost importance that you read and follow the specic instructions and
precautions found in the IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION addressed in this manual. In addition, you must
adhere to the safety standards of applicable federal, state, and local safety regulations, industry standards, and/
or procedures.
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 entrapment devices 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.

www.hysecurity.com Safety D0559 Rev. A 7
IdentIfYIng gate operator CategorY and usage Class
The SlideDriver operator, according to UL 325 Safety Standards, falls in the horizontal slide, vertical lift and
vertical pivot category for gate operators. Its usage class is determined by the area that the vehicular gate
services.
Four different vehicular usage classes are dened by UL 325:
Class I
Class I: Intended for use in garages or parking areas associated with a residence
of one to four single families.
Class II
Class II: Intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multi-
family housing units (ve or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores
or other buildings accessible by or intended to service the general public.
Class III
Class III: Intended for use in an industrial location or building such as a factory
or loading dock or other locations NOT accessible by or intended to service the
general public.
Class IV
Class IV: Intended for use in a guarded industrial location or building such as an
airport security area or other restricted access locations, not servicing the general
public, in which unauthorized access is prevented via supervision by security
personnel.

8D0559 Rev. A SlideDriver/SlideDriver 50VF Series www.hysecurity.com
CHoosIng seCondarY entrapment proteCtIon
The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with
the SlideDriver operator to meet UL compliance. The type of entrapment sensor device systems are described
below. For a complete listing of the requirements, refer to UL 325 Safety Standards.
NOTICE: SlideDriver is equipped with a primary, Type A, inherent entrapment sensor (IES) that complies with
UL 325. Any impediment to gate travel causes the gate to stop and reverse.
Usage Class Primary Type Device Secondary Type Device
Class I, II, III AB1, B2, C, or D
Class IV AB1, B2, C, D, or E
To comply with UL 325, refer to the chart and take the following steps:
1. Select the Usage Class according to the gate’s locale and purpose.
2. The required UL 325 primary Type A sensor is an integral part of the SlideDriver system.
3. Based on the gate’s usage class, choose Secondary Type Devices: B1, B2, C, D, or E.
• To comply using B1 - install non-contact sensors (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent).
• To comply using B2 - install contact sensors (edge sensor device or the equivalent).
• To comply using a Type D device requires a CONSTANT HOLD push-button station. This CONSTANT
HOLD push-button station must be the only device that opens and closes the gate. It can only be used
where the gate and push button station will be monitored by personnel 24 hours a day in full view of
the gate area. An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) must not
be employed. A Warning placard stating, “WARNING - Moving Gate has the Potential of Inicting
Injury or Death - Do Not Start the Gate Unless the Path is Clear” must be placed adjacent to the gate
operator controls.
CAUTION
While compliance is possible with Type C, which is a low force limiting clutch, the SlideDriver operator does not
utilize a clutch, therefore this option is not available.
Similar compliance issues exist with a Type E device (audio warn before operate alarm). A Type E device is
permitted as a means of secondary entrapment protection by UL 325 in Class IV applications, but it is not
recommended by HySecurity because a buzzer warns, but cannot protect against possible entrapment.
HySecurity highly recommends, even for Class IV use, that secondary entrapment protection (edge or photo-
eye sensor) devices be installed to detect possible entrapment.

groundIng, BreatHer Cap InstallatIon & HandIng
The gate operator has a vent plug that keeps the hydraulic uid from spilling during shipment. The vent plug
must be replaced by the breather cap before operating the slide gate.
DANGER
Failure to perform the following procedure will cause premature pump shaft failure and void the
Limited Warranty.
1. Remove the vent plug and discard it.
2. Replace the vent plug with the breather cap.

emergenCY stop Button
Make sure all users of the gate know where the emergency stop button
is located (see illustration). It complies with UL 325 Safety Standards
requirements.
Pressing the emergency stop button while the gate is opening or
closing disables the automatic close timer and stops gate travel. Gate
travel remains stopped until the operator receives another open or
close signal.
emergenCY release
WARNING
Before attempting a manual release, make sure the gate is not in motion and power is disconnected
(turned OFF).
Make sure and teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the gate manually. To prepare for
manual operation, power must turned off
and the drive wheels must be released
Know the weight of the gate you are
moving. Excessively heavy gates can be
difcult to move and may cause serious
injury to those involved in moving the
gate. Take the necessary precautions when
manually moving any gate.
WARNING
When releasing the handle inside the
chassis, be careful as the mechanism is
spring-loaded and drops rapidly. Hold the
handle appropriately so your ngers do not
get injured or pinched.
To disengage the drive wheels from the
drive rail and manually move the gate, take
the following steps:
1. Remove the front chassis cover and set it aside.
2. Pull the toggle handle down. The manual release is located under the electric control panel and to the
right of the hydraulic motors.
NOTE: For more information, refer to “Drive Wheel Spring Tension (Adjustment of Manual Release)” on page 87.
Other types of release mechanisms exist. For example, the Fire and Emergency Access Lock Box is available
through HySecurity distributors. Contact your distributor for more information.

Standard Limit Ramp
The standard limit ramp is positioned
on the drive rail so it will make
contact with the limit switch and stop
approximately 2 inches (5 cm) from the
drive wheel.
Limit ramps are attached to the
underside of the drive rail when the
gate is fully open and fully closed.

Nut
Two truss head screws secure each limit ramp to the drive rail. The bolts
are spaced about 4 inches (10 cm) apart.
The limit switch must be set ⅜-inch (9 mm) from the base of the drive
rail. A screw on the limit switch allows for slight adjustments in height. If
XtremeDrive wheels are used, you will need to raise the drive rail
¼to ½ inch (3 to 13 mm) along the gate uprights and the entire
drive rail path. The limit switch placement will need to be adjusted
accordingly.
All the limit ramps are the same length.
NOTE: For a 50VF-series SlideDriver, you will need to order four (4)
Slow Down Limit Ramp Kits.
CAUTION
Be sure to securely fasten all limit ramps to the underside of the
drive rail when installing a 50VF-series operator.
