Installation Preparation Checklist
1. Read all of the instructions, especially the Important
Information in Section 1 at the beginning of this
manual, before you attempt installation. This section is
focused upon mechanical installation. For electrical
setup, refer to Section 3, on system configuration and
use of the Smart Touch Controller.
2. Check to see that the mounting slab is the recom-
mended size and ready to have an operator attached.
Also check that electrical conduits are correctly located
to enter the chassis. Hy-Security recommends a slab
reaches below the local frost line and extends some-
what above grade. See the footprint plan and elevation
view on pages 14 & 15.
3. Make sure the gate rolls smoothly in both directions, without any binding of the gate hardware. If the
gate is warped or hard to move, stop and fix the gate before attempting to automate.
4. Verify that you have covers for all exposed gate support
wheels. These must be installed. Also, look around to
identify all of the potential pinch points and hazardous areas,
and plan the best location for the entrapment protection
devices and warning signs. Remember that you are re-
quired to advise the owner regarding the potential hazards
of an automatic gate and about the function of the entrap-
ment protection sensors that you have selected and in-
stalled.
5. There are 3 steps to a perfect install: location, location, location. One of the most critical adjust-
ments in installation will be to make sure the operator is located the proper distance from the gate,
and that the gate and operator are as parallel as possible. See Figure C below. Prepare some
shims for aligning the drive rail.
Note: If necessary, shim the drive rail so that it is straight 1/4" throughout the travel distance of
the gate.
