unparalleled user benefits:
Robust - An especially low flex, corrosion resistant, steel chassis combines with an attractive, key-locked,
fade resistant, roto-molded cover. The components on the Smart DC Controller™ are protected by
opto-isolators which shield them from power surges and lightning strikes.
Power - The Smart DC Controller provides variable speed control to a powerful, continuous duty
24V DC motor which drives the gearbox. The electronics, motor and gear box are rated to operate in
temperatures that range from -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C). SlideSmart DC 15 is rated for gates up
to 40 feet long and 1,500 pounds (12m and 682kg). SlideSmart DC 10F is rate for gates up to 40ft and
1,000lbs. (12m and 454kg). Solar options are available for both models.
Finesse - A variable rate of gate acceleration and deceleration, dependent upon gate weight and length,
assures very smooth handling.
UPS backup and Solar ready - Two 12V, 8 amp hour (Ah) batteries will provide a fully functional gate
operator (up to 4000ft/1219m of gate travel) when AC power is unavailable. Four user-selectable UPS
modes are available. 12VDC and 24VDC are available to power accessory controls. An optional base
extension is available that provides space for the optional 50Ah batteries which support solar applications

established licensing, codes or regulations that regulate
automated gate system design and installation.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
A gate operator is only a component in a gate system.
The other parts of the gate system can include the
gate, the external safety sensors, access controls, and
vehicle detectors. To have a gate system that provides
for safety, security, and reliable operation it is essential
these components operate together as a system. It is
the responsibility of the system designer and/or installe
r
to ensure any safety or operational issues have been
addressed.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ONLY
WARNING
This automatic gate operator is not designed nor is it intended for pedestrian traffic. Vehicular gate operators must by
their nature be powerful to function reliably. This power can cause injury or death. Accordingly, direct all pedestrian traffic
to a separate walk-through gate.
Install this gate operator only when:
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the
gate and the usage Class of the gate.
All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or
screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of
1.83 m (6 ft) above the ground to prevent a 57.2 mm (2-1/4
in) diameter sphere from passing through the openings
anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence that the gate covers in the open position.
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded.
Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for
vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access
opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to
promote pedestrian usage. Locate the gate such that persons
will not come in contact with the vehicular gate during the entire
path of travel of the vehicular gate.
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough
clearance is supplied between the gate and adjacent structures
when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both
directions prior to the installation of the gate operator. Do
not over-tighten the operator clutch or pressure relief valve
to compensate for an improperly installed, improperly
functioning, or damaged gate.
Permanently mounted controls intended for user activation
must be located at least 1.83 m (6 ft) away from any moving
part of the gate and where the user is prevented from
reaching over, under, around or through the gate to operate
the controls.
Exception: Emergency access controls only accessible
by authorized personnel (e.g. fire, police, EMS) may be
placed at any location in the line-of-sight of the gate.
The Stop and/or Reset button must be located in the line-
of-sight of the gate. Activation of the reset control shall not
cause the operator to start.
A
minimum of two (2) WARNING SIGNS shall be installed,
in the area of the gate. Each placard is to be visible by
persons located on the side of the gate on which the placard
is installed.
For gate operators utilizing a non-contact sensor (Photo
Eye):
See instructions on the placement of non-contact
sensors for each type of application.
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance
tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while
the gate is still moving.
One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where
the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the
perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor (Edge):
One or more contact sensors shall be located where
the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as at
the leading edge, trailing edge, and postmounted both
inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its
wiring arranged so that the communication between
the sensor and the gate operator is not subjected to
mechanical damage.
A wireless device such as one that transmits radio
frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator fo
r
entrapment protection functions shall be located where
the transmission of the signals are not obstructed o
r
impeded by building structures, natural landscaping
or similar obstruction. A wireless device shall function
under the intended end-use conditions.
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 greate
r
than 152 mm (6 in) but less than 406 mm (16 in) above
the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more
contact sensors shall be located on the bottom edge.
USE OF VEHICLE DETECTORS
Use of vehicle detectors (loop detectors) is strongly
encouraged to prevent damage to vehicles caused by gates
closing on them. This is not considered to be a safety item as
vehicle detectors cannot provide protection to pedestrians.
In some situations, photoelectric devices may be used as
vehicle detectors, but should be wired accordingly.
GATE CONSTRUCTION AND SAFETY
Gate construction plays a very important role in ensuring
the safety of any automated gate system. The standard fo
r
gate construction is ASTM F2200. Below are key areas to
address in gate design for safety. For complete information
consult the standard. Copies of the standard are available at:
https://www.astm.org/Standards/F2200.htm.
MX4505 Rev. E ©2020

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
A
nother source of information is available from DASMA, the
Door and Access System Manufacturer’s Association. The
A
ssociation publishes Technical Data Sheets, one of which
concerns ASTM F2200. For more information, see:
http://www.dasma.com/PDF/Publications/TechDataSheets/
OperatorElectronics/TDS370.pdf.
General Requirements for gate construction:
Gates shall be constructed in accordance with the
provisions given for the appropriate gate type listed.
Refer to ASTM F2200 for additional gate types.
Gates shall be designed, constructed and installed to not fall
over more than 45 degrees from the vertical plane, when a
gate is detached from the supporting hardware.
Gates shall have smooth bottom edges, with vertical bottom
edged protrusions not exceeding 0.50 in (12.7 mm) other
than the Exceptions listed ASTM F2200.
The minimum height for barbed wire shall not be less than 6
ft (1.83 m) above grade. The minimum height for barbed tape
shall not be less than 8 ft (2.44 m) above grade.
An existing gate latch shall be disabled when a manually
operated gate is retrofitted with a powered gate operator.
A gate latch shall not be installed on an automatically
operated gate.
Protrusions shall not be permitted on any gate. Consult
ASTM F2200 for exceptions.
Gates shall be designed, constructed and installed such
that their movement shall not be initiated by gravity when
an automatic operator is disconnected.
For pedestrian access in the vicinity of an automated
vehicular gate, a separate pedestrian gate shall be
provided. The pedestrian gate shall be installed in a
location such that a pedestrian shall not come in contact
with a moving vehicular access gate. A pedestrian gate
shall not be incorporated into an automated vehicular
gate panel.
Any non-automated gate that is to be automated shall be
upgraded to conform to the provisions of this specification.
This specification shall not apply to gates generally
used for pedestrian access and to vehicular gates not
to be automated.
Any existing automated gate, when the operator requires
replacement, shall be upgraded to conform to the
provisions of this specification in effect at that time.
The following provisions shall apply to Class I, Class II,
Class III, and Class IV vehicular horizontal slide gates:
All weight bearing exposed rollers 8 ft (2.44 m), or less, above
grade shall be guarded or covered.
All openings shall be designed, guarded, or screened from
the bottom of the gate to the top of the gate or a minimum o
f
72 inch (1.83 m) above grade, whichever is less, to prevent
a 2-1/4 inch (57 mm) diameter sphere from passing through
the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion o
f
the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.
The gate panel shall include the entire section of the moving
gate, including any back frame or counterbalance portion o
f
the gate.
A gap, measured in the horizontal plane parallel to the
roadway, between a fixed stationary object nearest the
roadway (such as a gate support post) and the gate frame
when the gate is in either the fully open position or the fully
closed position, shall not exceed 2-1/4 inches (57 mm).
Exception: All other fixed stationary objects greater than 16
inches (406 mm) from the gate frame shall not be required
to comply with this section.
Positive stops shall be required to limit travel to the designed
fully open and fully closed positions. These stops shall be
installed at either the top of the gate, or at the bottom of the
gate where such stops shall horizontally or vertically project
no more than is required to perform their intended function.
All gates shall be designed with sufficient lateral stability to
assure that the gate will enter a receiver guide. Consult ASTM
F2200 for details on various gate panel types.
SECONDARY 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, the 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 photo eyes
Site designer or installer can choose either photo 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, photo 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.
MX4505 Rev. E ©2020 SlideSmart DC Programming and Operations hysecurity.com | 800-321-9947 11

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
PHOTO EYES: One or more non-contact sensor
(photo 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.
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 on the inside
and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if
the bottom edge of a swing gate is greater than 6"(152mm)
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.
SENSOR SECURITY: A hard-wired contact sensor shall
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.
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 eyes must
be tested and labeled as “Recognized Components” or
otherwise certified to UL 325 requirements in order to
be deemed acceptable for use in a gate operator. Study
Important Safety Instructions and consider your specific
installation to determine where greatest entrapment
risks exist. Locate edge sensors and/or photo sensors
accordingly. Be certain that a sufficient 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. Most HySecurity gate operators require
external entrapment sensors that utilize Normally Closed
(NC) contact means of monitoring. HySecurity gate
operators utilizing the SmartCNX Controller require external
entrapment sensors that have a 10k Ohm or 4-wire pulsed
monitoring scheme. 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.
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
specific configurations based on the gate operator type.
Use of Approved External Entrapment
Protection Sensors is REQUIRED
325
Effective August 1st, 2018, the UL 325 Standard has changed:
• The operator shall monitor for the presence of every device at least once during each open and close cycle (32.1.8)
• It shall not be possible to make simple modifications in the field by adding, suppressing or changing, either on the operator or
external entrapment protection device(s), to bypass, interfere with, or otherwise defeat the monitoring function. (32.1.10)
• Entrapment zones are now defined for each gate type (4.23, 4.24, 4.29, 4.34)
SLIDE GATES: To enable fully automatic operation, all SLIDE gate operators will require a minimum of TWO monitored external
entrapment protection sensors (one for each direction) to protect entrapment zones in both the open and close direction of travel.
Preferred solution for slide gates: A photo eye for the close direction and a hard-wired edge sensor for the open direction
that is mounted to the face of the leading post of the fence behind the gate. (Reach through injuries are the most common
hazard associated with automatic sliding gates)
SWING GATES: To enable fully automatic operation, all SWING gate operators will require a minimum of ONE monitored external
entrapment protection sensor to protect entrapment zones in either the open or close direction of travel. However, an additional
monitored sensor is required if there is a risk of entrapment in both directions of gate travel.
Preferred solution for swing gates: A photo eye for the close direction and/or a hard-wired wraparound edge sensor on the
leading edge of the gate, which protects for both directions of gate travel.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Turn gate operator and all circuit
breakers OFF before performing
maintenance on the gate operator
or making contact with output
receptacles.
Never insert any objects into output
receptacles during operation. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution, or death.
Never let power wires lay in water.
Never use damaged or worn wire when connecting
equipment. Inspect for cuts in the insulation.
Never grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The
possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
Always make certain that proper
power has been selected for the job.
See Cable Selection Chart in this
manual.
GROUNDING SAFETY
Always make sure that electrical
circuits are properly grounded to a
suitable earth ground (ground rod)
per the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and local codes. Severe
injury or death by electrocution
can result from operating an
ungrounded operator.
Never use gas piping as an electrical ground.
BATTERY SAFETY
HySecurity operators use sealed Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM)
batteries and HySecurity highly recommends replacing used
batteries with new AGM-type batteries.
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.
To reduce risk o
f
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 flooded lead acid-type batteries.
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 fire. 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.
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 o
r
recycling agency in your area and arrange for prope
r
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 metal and plastic
parts be sent to a recycling 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.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process
of recycling metal and plastic. Using a metal and plastic
recycling center promotes energy cost savings.
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 a high wind
area, gate design will affect the load on
the gate operator because wind load acts
the same as an obstruction. Good gate
panel design presents a low surface area
to reduce the wind load.
If gate is heavy and near weight capacity of what the gate
operator can handle (see specifications), make sure it has
an open design that allows wind to flow through it. A solid or
semi-solid gate design under certain wind load conditions
may cause damage to gate operator and is not covered by
the HySecurity Limited Warranty.
Several factors play into calculations of wind load on a gate
panel. To find out maximum wind speed in areas around
the United States, search for US government wind speed
maps on the internet. If you don’t know how to calculate for
wind load, ask a mechanical engineer or site architect for
assistance prior to installing gate operator and gate panels.
When the IES trips, it sends a signal to gate operator to stop
and reverse direction. This feature may be falsely triggered
in excessively windy conditions because wind itself, acting
over surface area of gate panel, can provide necessary
force to trigger IES.
CAUTION
Do not adjust IES sensitivity to accommodate for
inappropriately designed gate panels. Loss of IES
sensitivity increases mechanical wear on gate
hardware and gate operator. It may also pose a safety
hazard. Compensating for wind loads by adjusting
IES may set IES sensitivity to a level which, when
encountering an obstruction, ignores obstruction and
fails to reverse direction. For more information, refer to
Adjusting the IES Sensitivity.
MAINTENANCE
OF
GATE
SYSTEMS
To keep your automated gate system performing both safely
and reliably it is important to ensure that the components o
f
that system are functioning properly.
At least monthly:
Disconnect the gate operator and manually move the
gate through its range of travel. Note any squeaks from
rollers or hinges or areas of binding. The gate should
travel smoothly and quietly throughout its range. If it
does not, contact a gate professional to correct the
problem.
Reconnect the gate operator and perform the following
tests:
• With the gate opening, block any photo eyes and/
or depress any safety edges used to protect the
open direction. The gate should stop and/or reverse.
• With the gate closing, block any photo eyes and/o
r
depress any safety edges used to protect the close
direction. The gate should stop and/or reverse.
• Using a suitable obstruction in the path of the gate
(a solid, immovable object), run the gate in the open
direction until it contacts the obstruction. The gate
should stop and reverse.
• Using a suitable obstruction in the path of the gate
(a solid, immovable object), run the gate in the close
direction until it contacts the obstruction. The gate
should stop and reverse.

PAD CONDITION
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 depth with a minimum 2-inch
extension Refer to Figure 2.
2. Before pouring the pad, consider conduit
placement so it fits within the confines of the
6.9 x 12-inch cutout in the SlideSmart as shown
in Figure 2. Run separate conduits for:
high voltage wiring (115/230V supply power)
including equipment ground
INSTALLATION
Low voltage wiring (12V and 24V accessory
power)
• vehicle loop control wiring
• primary/secondary connections
Earth ground (NEC/NFPA)
3. Extend conduit height 2-inches (5cm) above
the pad (4-inches (9cm) above ground level).
Make sure the concrete forms are square with
the gate and the pad is level. The operator
footprint, with covers, is approximately an
18-inch square (4.7cm). See Figure 2 for the
minimum pad dimensions.

USING AN EXISTING PAD
In many applications, SlideSmart may be a
replacement operator for an existing gate system.
Make sure the pad is level and inspect the pad for:
Compliance with local building codes.
Appropriate distance from the gate. See Figure
3.
Appropriate dimensions (See Figure 3) for
SlideSmart installation.
Durability.
INSTALLATION
To use an existing pad, take the following steps:
1. Remove any existing equipment from the pad.
2. Measure the pad to ensure it is sized properly
for SlideSmart.
3. Check the mounting hole locations and re-drill,
if necessary.
4. Follow the steps in "Concrete Pad Mount" on
page 22.
CAUTION
Consider positioning the operator so existing
conduit enters the cutout in the SlideSmart
base plate. Cutting small holes in the plastic
base plate and cover for pre-existing conduit
is permissible. Two 0.875-inch (22mm) diameter
holes for running conduit are also provided on
both sides of the chassis. See Figure 4.
