INTRODUCING SWINGSMART DC
Thank you for purchasing our premium SwingSmart
DC™ 20 swing gate operator. At HySecurity®
Gate, Inc., we pride ourselves on quality and a
number of unparalleled user benets:
Robust - An especially strong twin channel
steel chassis and adjustable taper clutch greatly
improves the ability for SwingSmart to resist
damage from vehicle hits on the gate. The
components on the Smart DC Controller are
protected by opto-isolators which shield them
from power surges and lightning strikes.
Power - A variable speed control board supplies
a powerful, continuous 24V DC motor which drives
a 600:1 gearbox providing variable speeds. The
electronics, motor and gear box are rated to
operate in very broad temperatures that range
from -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C). SwingSmart
DC is rated for gates up to 20 feet long and 1,300
pounds.
Finesse - A variable rate of gate acceleration and
deceleration, dependent upon gate weight and
length, assures very smooth handling.
Adaptable - The design incorporates a universal
gate arms to assure aesthetic functionality. An
articulating arm is an available option which also
provides adaptability to a variety of site situations.
UPS backup and Solar ready - Two 12V, 8 amp
hour (Ah) batteries will provide a fully functional
gate operator (up to 300 gate cycles) when AC
power is unavailable. Four user-selectable UPS
modes are available. 12VDC and 24VDC are
available to power access controls. The unit’s
design also incorporates space for optional 50Ah
batteries to support solar applications or usage
during extended power outages.
INTELLIGENT FEATURES: SMART DC
CONTROLLERTM
Automatic adjustment and synchronization
of bi-parting gates - The Smart DC Controller
automatically adjusts the gate speed to synchronize
the left and right gates so that they reach the open
and close positions at the same time. Independent
leaf delay adjustment for bi-parting gates is
selectable in ½ second increments.
Menus and User relays - The Smart DC Controller
has a multitude of menu items that allows
installer configuration of gate function and
two programmable user relays. Independent
adjustment for open and close gate speeds - An
easy-to-use menu allows the installer to vary the
open and close speed settings in a range between
10 and 15 seconds.
Intelligent Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES)
- Any impediment to gate travel is sensed by
the system, stopping gate movement per UL
325 Standard of Safety. The intelligent system
monitors gate power then adapts the IES to trip
at an adjustable threshold above normal power.
Improved Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) - A
32-character LCD provides increased readability
for programming and troubleshooting.
USB communications port - A direct connect
provides accessibility to download system
diagnostics and upload system congurations
using the Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve Tool
(S.T.A.R.T.) software.
S.T.A.R.T. software and diagnostics - With
S.T.A.R.T. software loaded on a laptop computer,
you have an invaluable management tool for

WARNING
A moving gate or barrier arm can cause serious
injury or death. Start gate operator only when
the gate's travel path is clear.
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 gate or
gate operators.
3. Always keep people and
objects away from gate. NO
ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
Start gate operator only when a
gate’s travel path is clear.
4.
Test gate operator monthly. Gate MUST
reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop
when an object activates non-contact sensors.
After adjusting force or limit of travel, retest

SAFETY INFORMATION
INSTALLER'S SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Study entire contents of this
manual prior to installing,
operating, or maintaining gate
operator. Taking extra time to align
gate operator and verify a fully
functional installation reduces
maintenance, guarantees longest system life,
and ensures customer satisfaction.

Verify 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
product manual. Install operator
only when gate operator class is
correct for site, size, 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 gate
per UL 325 Safety Standards include:
• All horizontal slide gates must guard or
screen openings from gate’s base support
to a minimum height of 6 feet (183 cm)
above ground. This must prevent a sphere of
2¼-inches (57 mm) in diameter from passing
through an opening in gate or adjacent fence
that is covered in gate’s open position.
• Physical stops must exist in gate construction
to prevent over-travel in both directions and
guard posts must be installed to prevent gate
from falling in event of a roller failure.

Before attaching operator to gate, move gate
or barrier arm in both directions. Make sure it
is level and travels freely. A gate or barrier arm
that moves easily reduces strain on operator
components. Gravity should play no part in gate
opening or closing.

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 entrapment risk throughout entire travel
path, make sure gate is installed in a location so
enough clearance is supplied between gate and
adjacent structures when opening or closing.
Minimize parallel gap between gate and fence.

Install the gate operator on the secure (non-
public) side of the gate. Swing gates can not
open into public areas.

Mount access control devices beyond gate
reach. Permanently mounted control devices
that operate gate must be:
• Located in a clear line of sight
to gate. Locate controls (Open,
Close, Stop/Reset) where a user
will have a clear view of gate.
Activation of stop/reset shall
not start the operator.
• Mounted beyond 6 feet (183cm)
of any moving part of the gate, to
prevent users from touching or
accessing gate while operating
controls.
• People attempting to access
controls by reaching through or around gate
can be seriously injured or killed by moving
gate.
•
Incorporate a security feature to prevent
unauthorized use.

Gate operator must be properly grounded and
permanently wired to incoming power per local
codes. Input voltage must match junction box
voltage label.

HySecurity gate operators have terminals for
direct connection of up to three (3) 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 pressure
relief valve at lowest allowable setting that
will reliably operate gate. Pressure relief valve
controls applied force of operator and sensitivity
of inherent entrapment sensor (IES). Note that
no IES exists in barrier arm operators.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Install at least two (2) WARNING signs (two are
supplied), with one on the inside and one on
the outside of gate so they are clearly visible
from both sides of gate. Installing clearly visible
WARNING as you approach the gate from either
side is a requirement for UL 325 compliance.

Connect radio and other remote access controls
(non-resetting) to RADIO OPTIONS terminal.

Open and close gate to confi rm that it was
properly installed and to ensure reduced risk
of entrapment. Verify clearance between gate
and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety
Standards. Have a qualifi ed gate technician test
gate monthly.

When you complete installation, show end user
how to:
• Remove cover. Turn power off and on to
demonstrate relearn limits after DC/AC cycles.
• Turn DC power switch off, which disengages
motor, and manually push gate.
• Use Emergency Stop Button located on
operator. For some operators, it can be
accessed through a hole in the cover.

Never disable the Warn Before Operate buzzer.
This buzzer provides an alert that gate is about
to move.
NOTICE
Save these instructions.Gate operator
instructions must be given to owner per UL
325 Safety Standards.
OWNER/USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
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 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 gate or gate operators.

Learn how to turn power on and off. Learn how
to manually release gate.

Supplied WARNING signs must remain installed
and clearly visible on both sides of gate. Signs
required to maintain UL 325 compliance.

Never physically disable, disconnect, or cut
wires of Warn Before Operate buzzer. This
buzzer is required to function in an entrapment
event, regardless of UL 325 gate usage class
defi ned, and provides an alert that gate is about
to move.Disabling warning buzzer may increase
risk/extent of injury if entrapment occurs.
WARNING
A moving gate or barrier arm can cause serious
injury or death. Install an automatic operator
only on gates that comply with UL-325 Safety
Standards and ASTM F2200 Gate and Fence
Standards.
NOTICE
Ask for a copy of gate operator’s product
literature and review it. You are responsible for
educating all gate system users about proper
automated gate system use.


NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
BATTERY SAFETY
Some HySecurity operators use sealed, state-of-
the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and
highly recommends replacing used batteries with
new AGM-type batteries.
To reduce risk of fi re or injury to persons:

Observe polarity between batteries and
charging circuit.

Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands.
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 metal found
in rings, bracelets, and keys can
conduct electricity, short
batteries, and cause potential
injury.
Do not open or mutilate batteries.
Battery cells contain corrosive
materials which may cause burns
and other injuries. Material within
batteries is toxic.

Always dispose of batteries properly. Do NOT
place batteries in fi re. Battery cells
may explode. Follow federal
guidelines for proper disposal of
hazardous waste.
ALWAYS keep battery cables in
good working condition. Repair
or replace all worn cables.
Replace batteries according to
instructions found in DC Battery
Replacement.
CAUTION
Batteries used with HySecurity gate operator
contain materials considered hazardous
to environment. Proper battery disposal is
required by federal law. Refer to Hazardous
Waste Regulations federal guidelines.
SAFETY INFORMATION

DO NOT charge frozen battery. Battery can
explode. If frozen, warm the battery to at least
61°F (16°C).
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS AND PROPER DISPOSAL
Decommissioning is a controlled
process used to safely retire a piece of
equipment that is no longer serviceable.
If the equipment poses an unacceptable
and unrepairable safety risk due to wear or damage
or is no longer cost effective to maintain (beyond
life-cycle reliability) and is to be decommissioned
(demolition and dismantlement),be sure to follow
rules below.

DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto the
ground, down a drain or into any water source.

Contact your country's Department of Public
Works or recycling agency in your area and
arrange for proper disposal of any electrical
components, waste or oil associated with this
equipment.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over,
remove battery and bring to appropriate facility
for lead reclamation. Use safety precautions
when handling batteries that contain sulfuric
acid.

When the life cycle of this equipment is over, it
is recommended that the frame and all other

center.
Metal and plastic recycling involves the collection
of metal and plastic from discarded products and
its transformation into raw materials to use in
manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the
process of recycling metal and plastic. Using
a metal and plastic recycling center promotes
energy cost savings.
EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
SENSORS
Most HySecurity gate operators are equipped with
a Type A, Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES). UL 325
Safety Standard compliance requires installation of
external entrapment protection sensors, number
of which, depends on 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
Site designer or installer can choose either
photoelectric eyes, edge sensors, or a combination
of these devices. Whatever devices are used,
protection in both opening and closing directions
of gate travel must be provided.
UL 325 Safety Standard for automatic sliding
gates specifically requires that edge sensors,
photoelectric eyes, or a combination of both
devices be installed to protect against pedestrian
entrapment in BOTH directions of gate travel and
wherever entrapment hazards exist.
PHOTOELECTRIC EYES:
One or more non-
contact sensor (photoelectric eyes) shall be
located where entrapment risk or obstruction
exists, such as perimeter reachable by a moving
gate.
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the
sensor while the gate is moving.
CAUTION
A contact or non-contact sensor is also required
to protect against possible entrapment if gate
opens to a position less than 16 inches from
any object, such as a post or wall.

EDGE SENSORS: One or more contact sensors
(edge sensors) shall be located at leading edge,
trailing edge, and post-mounted, both inside
and outside of a sliding gate.
One or more contact sensors shall be located at
the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate.
One or more contact sensors shall be located
on the inside and outside leading edge of a
swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom edge of
a swing gate is greater than 4"(102mm) but less
than 16"(406mm) above the ground at any point
in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors
shall be located on the bottom edge.
One or more contact sensors may be located
at the bottom edge of a vertical barrier (arm).
SENSOR SECURITY:
A hard-wired contact
sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged
so that communication between sensor and gate
is not subjected to mechanical damage.
SENSOR FUNCTION and COMMUNICATION:
A sensor that transmits its signal to 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 end-use conditions.
UL 325 LISTING:
Edge sensors and photo electric
eyes must be tested and labeled as “Recognized
Components” or otherwise certifi ed to UL 325
requirements in order to be deemed acceptable
for use in a gate operator. Study
Important Safety
Instructions
and consider your specifi c installation
to determine where greatest entrapment risks
exist. Locate edge sensors and/or photoelectric
sensors accordingly. Be certain that a suffi cient
number of sensors are used so that pedestrians are
protected from entrapment in both directions of
gate travel and all hazard areas are fully protected.
HySecurity Gate operators require external
entrapment sensors that utilize Normally Closed
(NC) contact means of monitoring. Refer to UL
website at www.ul.com
for 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.

IDENTIFYING GATE OPERATOR CATEGORY AND USAGE CLASS
Four different vehicular usage classes are defi ned in UL325. Most HySecurity operators are approved
for use in all four UL325 defi ned usage classes.
The four usage classes are described below:
Class I
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.
Class II
Class II: Intended for use in a commercial location
or building such as a multi-family housing units (fi ve
or more single family units) hotels, garages, retail
stores or other buildings servicing general public.
Class III
Class III: Intended for use in an industrial location or
building such as factories or loading docks or other
locations not intended to service general public.
Class IV
Class IV: Intended for use in guarded industrial
locations or buildings such as an airport security
area or other restricted access location, not servicing
general public, in which access is monitored by
security personnel or via closed circuitry.

CHOOSING EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT
PROTECTION
The site designer or installer must determine
which external entrapment sensors will be
installed with HySecurity gate operators to meet
UL equirements. Type of entrapment sensor
device systems are described below. For a
complete listing of requirements, see UL 325
Safety Standards.
Usage Class Internal Type
Device
External Type
Device
Class I, II, III A B1, B2, or D
Class IV A B1, B2, or D
To comply with UL 325, refer to chart and take
following steps:
1.
Select Usage Class according to gate’s locale
and purpose.
2.
Required UL 325 inherent Type A sensor
is an integral part of most HySecurity gate
operators.
3.
Based on gate’s usage class, choose External
Entrapment Sensors: B1, B2, or D.
NOTICE
Most HySecurity gate operators are equipped
with a Type A, Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES)
that complies with UL 325. Any impediment to
gate travel causes gate to stop and reverse.
To comply using B1 - install non-contact sensors
(photoelectric sensor or equivalent) according
to instructions.

To comply using B2 - install contact sensors
(edge sensor device or equivalent) according
to instructions.

To comply using D - install a Constant Hold device
requiring constant pressure to activate. This
CONSTANT HOLD device must be only device that
opens and closes gate. It can only be used where
gate and push button station will be monitored by
personnel 24 hours a day in full view of 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 Infl icting Injury or Death - Do
Not Start the Gate Unless the Path is Clear” must
be placed adjacent to gate operator controls.

Open and close gate to confi rm that it was
properly installed and to ensure reduced risk
of entrapment. Verify clearance between gate
and adjacent structures per UL 325 Safety
Standards. Have a qualifi ed gate technician test
gate monthly.
SAFETY INFORMATION

Gate operator will not automatically cycle the
gate unless an indication that the appropriate
number of external entrapment protection
sensors are connected and operational.
The normally closed (NC) entrapment protection
sensors wired to the Controller’s SENSOR
inputs are monitored using HySecurity software.
Prompts appear on the display requesting specifi c
confi gurations based on the gate operator type.
The following sensors have been shown in
testing to provide the best performance when
installed with HySecurity operators. HySecurity
supports installers who install these sensors. Other
“Compatible Sensors” may meet UL 325 7th
edition requirements but have not been certifi ed
for use with HySecurity operators. Contact the
sensor manufacturer for specifi c recommendations
for use.
CAUTION
External entrapment protection sensors must
have NC sensor outputs and be wired to the
SENSOR COM terminal for monitoring and
powering purposes. Depending on software
version, the sensor becomes powered when
the gate operator’s motor runs or is always
powered when the operator is connected to
AC power.
