Important Safety Instructions
Revision C Safety Requirements S-1
6DIHW\5HTXLUHPHQWV
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. It is the joint responsibility of the architect, site
designer, purchaser, installer and end user to verify that the total system is appropriately configured for its
intended use. Additionally, certain municipalities have established licensing, codes or regulations that regulate
automated gate system design and installation. Consult local government agencies for up-to-date rules and
regulations prior to gate system design or installation.

A moving gate can cause serious injury or death. Start the gate operator only when the gate’s
travel path is clear.
Hazards, associated with automatic gates, can be reduced with proper site design, installation, and use.
Installers, maintenance crew, and owners/users must read and follow the Important Safety Instructions in this
manual and review all the literature that accompanies the product. It is important that only qualified installers
handle the installation of the SlideSmart gate operator.
A “qualified” 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.
• Significant 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 gate operators and automated gates. All aspects of gate
installation must comply with the appropriate safety standard. For the most up-to-date ASTM F2200 Gate and
Fence Standards, refer to www.astm.org. For UL 325 Safety Standard, refer to www.ul.com.
6DIHW\6WDQGDUGV,QVWDOOHUV5HVSRQVLELOLW\
• Study the entire contents of this manual prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the SlideSmart gate
operator. Taking extra time to align the gate operator and verify a fully functional installation will reduce
maintenance, guarantee longest system life, and ensure customer satisfaction.
• Verify the gate operator usage class for the site. Refer to Identifying Gate Operator Category and Usage Class
in this manual. Install SlideSmart only when the gate operator class is correct for the site and type of gate.
• 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.
→All horizontal slide gates must guard or screen openings from the gate’s base support to a minimum
height of 4 feet (122cm) above the ground. This must prevent a sphere of 2¼-inches (57mm) in
diameter from passing through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the gate’s
open position.

Important Safety Instructions
S-2 SlideSmart Installation and Reference Manual Revision C
→Physical stops exist in the gate construction to prevent over-travel in both directions and guard posts
prevent the gate from falling in the event of a roller failure.
• Before attaching the operator to the gate, slide the gate in both directions. Make sure it is level and moves
freely. A gate that slides easily reduces strain on operator components. Gravity should play no part in the
opening or closing of the gate.
• In the case of hydraulic operators, 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.
• To reduce the risk of entrapment throughout the entire travel path, make sure the gate is installed in a
location so enough clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening or closing.
Minimize the parallel gap between the gate and the fence.
• 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. The automated gate entry is for vehicle use only. No
one should cross the path of a moving gate.
• Install the gate operator on the secure (non-public) side of the gate. Locate controls (Open, Close, Stop/
Reset) where a user will have a clear view of the gate.
• 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.
• Mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm) 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.
• The gate operator must be properly grounded and the incoming power voltage must match the voltage
label on the junction box.
• Install enough external entrapment protection sensors so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in
both directions of the gate travel and all hazard areas and possible pinch points are fully protected. Review
the information found in Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors.
• Install the supplied WARNING signs on the inside and outside of the gate so they are clearly visible from
both sides of the gate. Installing the signs is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.
• Connect radio and other remote access (non-resetting controls) to the RADIO OPTIONS terminals.
• 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 gate technician test the gate monthly.
• When you complete the installation, show the end user how to:
→Remove the cover. Turn the power off and on to demonstrate relearn limits after DC/AC cycles.
→ Turn the DC power switch off, which disengages the motor, and manually push the gate.
→Use the Emergency Stop Button located on the side of the control box. It can be accessed through a
hole in the cover.

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. You are
responsible for educating all gate system users about proper use of the automated gate system.
• 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 or gate operators.
• Learn how to turn the power on and off. Learn how to manually release the gate.
&$87,21
Before attempting a manual release, make sure the gate is not moving.
• 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 is
required to function in the event of entrapment, regardless of UL 325 gate usage class. It provides an alert
that the gate is about to move. Disabling the warning buzzer may increase the risk or extent of injury if
entrapment occurs.
• Test the gate operator monthly. Specifically, test the primary Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) and
secondary entrapment protection sensors. The gate must reverse its direction of travel upon contact with a
rigid object and/or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the
limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and test the gate operator on a regularly maintained
schedule can increase the risk of injury or death.
• Have a professional gate installer routinely test the entire gate operator and entrapment protection sensors.
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware to keep the gate running smoothly.

SlideSmart uses sealed, state-of-the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and highly recommends replacing
used batteries with new AGM-type batteries.
&$87,21

The batteries used with the SlideSmart gate operator contain materials that are considered haz-
ardous to the environment. Proper disposal of the battery is required by federal law. Refer to
federal guidelines found in Hazardous Waste Regulations.
To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons:
• Observe the polarity between the batteries and charging circuit.
• Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands. The charging circuit on HySecurity DC operators is designed for
AGM-type batteries, not lead acid-type batteries. HySecurity strongly recommends that only sealed AGM
style batteries be used.
• Exercise care in handling batteries. Be aware that the metal found in rings, bracelets, and keys can conduct
electricity, short the batteries, and cause potential injury.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Battery cells contain corrosive materials which may cause burns and
other injuries. The material within batteries is toxic.
• Always dispose of batteries properly. Do NOT place batteries in fire. The battery cells may explode. Follow
federal guidelines for proper disposal of hazardous waste.
• Replace batteries according to the instructions found in DC Battery Replacement.

SlideSmart 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.
To comply with UL 325, the following external sensors may be used:
• Contact sensors, such as edge sensors
• Non-contact sensors, such as photoelectric eyes
The site designer or installer can choose either photoelectric eyes or edge sensors or use these devices in
combination. Whatever devices are used, protection in both the opening and closing directions of gate travel
must be provided.
The UL 325 Safety Standard for automatic sliding gates specifically requires that edge sensors or photoelectric
eyes or a combination of both devices be installed to protect against pedestrian entrapment in BOTH
directions of the gate travel and where an entrapment hazard exists.
PHOTOELECTRIC EYES: One or more photoelectric eyes shall be located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate.
&$87,21

A photoelectric eye or contact sensor is also required to protect against possible entrapment if
the gate opens to a position less than 16 inches from any object, such as a post or wall.
EDGE SENSORS: One or more edge sensors shall be located on the leading and trailing edges of a slide gate
where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists. One or more contact sensors (edge sensors) shall be located
at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post-mounted, both inside and outside of a sliding gate.
SENSOR SECURITY: A hard-wired sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so that communication
between the sensor and gate is not subjected to mechanical damage.
SENSOR FUNCTION and COMMUNICATION: A sensor that transmits its signal to the gate operator
must be located so its signal is not impeded by building structures or other obstructions. All sensors must be
installed so that they function as intended for the end-use conditions.
UL 325 LISTING: The edge sensors and photo electric eyes must be tested and labeled as “Recognized
Components” under UL 325 in order to be deemed acceptable for use in a gate operator. Study the Important
Safety Instructions and consider your specific installation to determine where the greatest entrapment risks exist.
Locate edge sensors and/or photoelectric sensors accordingly. Be certain that a sufficient number of sensors are
used so that pedestrians are protected from entrapment in both directions of the gate travel and all hazard areas
are fully protected. Refer to the UL website at www.ul.com for the most up-to-date list of gate operator safety
standards (UL 325). Refer to www.astm.org for a complete list of ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence Standards.

Class I: Intended for use in a location of one to four single family dwellings or a
parking area associated with one to four single family dwellings.
&ODVV,,
Class II: Intended for use in a commercial location or building such as a multi-
family housing units (five or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail stores
or other buildings servicing the general public.
&ODVV,,,
Class III: Intended for use in an industrial location or building such as
factories or loading docks or other locations not intended to service the
general public.
&ODVV,9
Class IV: Intended for use in guarded industrial locations or buildings such
as an airport security area or other restricted access location, not servicing
the general public, in which access is monitored by security personnel or via
closed circuitry.

Secondary Entrapment Protection Sensors
Revision C Safety Requirements S-7
&KRRVLQJ6HFRQGDU\(QWUDSPHQW3URWHFWLRQ
The site designer or installer must determine which secondary entrapment sensor devices will be installed with
the SlideSmart 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.
127(
SlideSmart 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.
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 SlideSmart 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 Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start the
Gate Unless the Path is Clear” must be placed adjacent to the gate operator controls.
&$87,21
While compliance is possible with Type C, which is a low force limiting clutch, the SlideSmart
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.

Emergency Stop Button
S-8 SlideSmart Installation and Reference Manual Revision C
(0(5*(1&<6723%87721
An emergency stop button that is accessible from the
outside of the operator is a requirement for compliance
with UL 325 Safety Standards. The red emergency stop
button is located inside a hole cutout on the SlideSmart
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 an open or close signal.
Make sure all users of the gate know where the emergency
stop button is located.
A screwdriver or hex key can be used to press lightly on the
switch to activate it.
(0(5*(1&<5(/($6(
Make sure and teach all users how to turn off electric power and how to move the gate manually. SlideSmart
allows a gate to be pushed manually when the operator’s DC power is turned off. (You DO NOT need to turn
AC power off to manually push the gate.) See NOTE.
When you turn DC power off, the following occurs:
• The motor disengages which makes it easier to push the gate open (or close)
• The GATE NO LOAD (FAULT 4) appears on the display
• The position sensor is active and established limits are remembered
To turn DC power on, take the following steps:
1. Make sure the gate is not moving.
2. Flip the DC power switch on.
3. Clear any faults by pressing STOP or RESET.
127(
If you turn OFF both power switches (AC and DC) and manually move the gate, the operator
will search for the target to re-establish its limits. When you turn AC & DC power back ON,
the operator will cycle the gate and search for the target magnet (its “home” position).
An operator with the DC power switch ON and the AC power switch OFF still functions nor-
mally, but “NO AC” flashes in the display. If you “push” the gate, it will push back because the
position sensor is active and the motor is engaged.
