Intelligent Features: Smart DC Controller™
Intro-2 Rev: A
Introducing Kinetic DC
Thank you for purchasing our premium Kinetic DC™ slide gate operator. At Wallace International, we pride
ourselves on quality. Our new line electromechanical gate operators include a number of unparalleled user
benefits:
Robust - 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).
Kinetic DC 15W is rated for gates up to 40 feet long and 1,500 pounds (12m and 682kg). Kinetic
DC 10FW 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
required to provide space for the optional 50Ah batteries which support solar applications or usage
during extended power outages.
Intelligent Features: Smart DC Controller™
Menus and User relays – The Smart DC Controller has 46 menu items to allow installer configuration of
gate function and two user relays, which can be configured for 22 different functions.
Independent adjustment for open and close gate speeds – An easy-to-use menu on the Smart DC
Controller allows the installer to vary the open and close speed settings.
Intelligent Inherent Entrapment Sensor (IES) – Any impediment to gate travel is sensed by the system,
stopping gate movement per UL 325 Safety Standards. 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 configurations using the Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve Tool (S.T.A.R.T.)
software.
START software and diagnostics - With S.T.A.R.T. software loaded on a laptop computer, you can get the
latest software upgrade and have an invaluable troubleshooting tool for Wallace International
operators. To download this free software, visit the Hysecurity website at www.hysecurity.com.

Installer’s Check List
Intro-4 Rev: A
Installer’s Check List
The following list provides a high level overview of the tasks involved in installing the Kinetic DC gate
operator. Take a moment to review the list and check off the items as you complete the install.
Make sure gate installation complies with ASTM F2200 Standard Specification for Automated Vehicular
Gate Construction. And, install the supplied WARNING sign on both sides of the gate.
Check for compliance with local codes, site conditions, and NEC standards.
Install tooth rack.
Install operator - (on gate post using 10x1.5 x 140mm hex bolts, lock washers, clamps and spacers.)
Connect red wire to DC Power Switch.
Turn DC Power ON.
Complete Initial Setup Menu programming.
Install the target magnet and make sure it is in line with and passes by the target sensor so it can be
recognized by the software programming.
Connect AC Power.
Connect all accessory devices.
Set the Close Timer (through the User Menu).
Set gate speed, if applicable (through Installer Menu). Refer to START (Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve
Tool) in the Reference section.
Set IES sensitivity, if needed (through Installer Menu).
Check the Smart DC Controller software version. If needed, upload the latest version from
www.hysecurity.com. See Smart Touch Analyze and Retrieve Tool.
Program changes through the Installer Menu depending on the accessory devices that you have installed.
Give a copy of the operator instructions to the end user. Show the end user how to:
• Remove the operator cover. Turn the power o_ and on to demonstrate learn limits after DC/AC cycles.
• Turn the DC power switch off, which disengages the motor, and manually push the gate.
• Test the red Emergency Stop Button located on the side of the control box. It can be accessed through a
hole in the cover. See illustration on page S-8.
Take photographs of the completed installation site and save it in your business files.

Important Safety Instructions
Rev: A S-1
Safety Requirements
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 Kinetic gate operator. A qualified installer has one of the following:
• A minimum of three years experience installing similar equipment.
• Proof of attending a Wallace International 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.
Safety Standards – Installer’s Responsibility
• Study the entire contents of this manual prior to installing, operating, or maintaining the Kinetic 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 Kinetic 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 2.2 inches (57mm) in
diameter from passing through an opening in the gate or the adjacent fence that is covered in the gates
open position.
→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.
