7. The Hy5B indicator light ashes red and the following appears.

InIt INITIALIZING
8. When the LED on the Hy5B detector stops ashing red, it ashes green.
Initialization is complete and the detector is ready for use.
NOTE: If using Hy5A emulation mode, the LED does not ash green, it goes dark. See
Table 1: LED Display Status on page 1. The ashing green LED indicates Hy5B mode.
9. Press Reset. Pressing the Reset button:
•Clears alerts
•Checks Hy5B loop connections and re-tunes Hy5B to prevent crosstalk
• Un-installs memory of vehicle detectors physically removed
NOTE: If the Hy5B is unplugged after it is initialized, an alert appears on the display,
ALERT 10. If the issue is not resolved, ERROR 3 appears. When faults occur, the gate
operator functions as if the Hy5B is triggered.
If connecting more than one reversing loop, wiring must be in series (not
in parallel). Combine loops in series by tying together one lead from each
loop (crimp or solder wires). Insert remaining leads (one from each loop) into
the Hy5B vehicle detector set in either the OOLD or IOLD socket. For more
information, refer to the Hy5B User Guide.
CAUTION
Do not connect Free Exit loop wires to the same Hy5B detector containing obstruction loop
wires (reversing loops). You cannot combine Free Exit vehicle detection with reversing loop
detection. If you attempt to do so, vehicles crossing over the Free Exit will not be detected.

3. If you wish to update the software, download the
current S.T.A.R.T. software to your PC laptop, and then
load the gate operator code to the controller board
before installing Hy5B vehicle detectors.
See www.hysecurity.com for updates.
NOTE: Hy5A emulation mode does not include all the features of Hy5B. If you are replacing
Hy5A detectors and updating the gate operator software, be aware Build Year 1 (BY1) or Build
Year 2 (BY2) will need to be addressed. BY2 requires monitoring of external entrapment
protection sensors per UL 325 - 2016 Standard of Safety. If the gate operator was installed
prior to 2016, BY1 may be used.

Install one Hy5B detector at a time. Each vehicle detector socket is labeled as
shown in column 2 of Table 2: Vehicle Loop Sets.
1. Turn power OFF in control box. See Diagram 2. Control Boxes.
2. Insert the squared-off end of the plastic standoff through the hole in the
Hy5B detector. See Diagram 3. Insert Plastic Standoffs.
NOTE: The plastic standoff “squared-off end” does not t into the mounting holes of the
control box. Double check the orientation of squared-off ends.
3. To minimize excessive exing, keep each Hy5B perpendicular to the control
board as you plug it into the Hy5B socket.
4. Secure the Hy5B by inserting each plastic standoff into the chassis.
5. Place the two wires from the loop into the push terminals of the Hy5B. For
ease of installation, the wire gauge should be 20 - 14 AWG.
NOTE: If you have more Hy5B detectors, repeat the steps 2 through 4 for each additional
Hy5B detector.
6. Turn power to the gate operator back ON.

CAUTION
Do not leave excess loop wire coiled in the
control box because it can generate false calls.
