LIGNMENT

Most photo eyes require careful optical alignment in order to aim the emitter beam to

TOŸCAREFULLYŸALIGNŸTHEŸSYSTEMŸESPECIALLYŸWITHŸRETROREÛECTIVEŸPHOTOELECTRICŸSENSORSŸ4OŸ

that end, HySecurity has provided a unique feature that turns photo eye power ON and 

causes a buzzer to chirp when the photo eye enters and exits alignment. 

Align the photo eyes using this feature by taking the following steps:

1.  Move the gate off (away from) the close limit.
2.  Access the User Menu and select PE. (To access the User Menu, press the 

Menu button twice. For a refresher on using the Menu Mode navigational 

buttons, see the chart on page 9.)

3.  Set the menu item PE 0 to PE 1.
4.  Move the photo eyes (up/down, side to side) to align the emitter beam. The 

buzzer will chirp once when the beam is broken and twice when remade. 

5.  When the buzzer chirps once, indicating the photo eyes are aligned, set the 

next photo eye (if the site has one) and continue the process until all photo 

eyes are aligned. 

6.  Close the gate. When the close limit is triggered, the User Menu item PE 

resets to 0.

ROUBLESHOOTING

The Smart Touch Controller reports system malfunctions using three simultaneously occurring methods:  

•  Codes presented on its display (alert, fault or error)
•

•  Stop gate travel (and/or reverse direction of travel)

Overriding a tripped sensor or fault condition on a HySecurity gate operator with monitored 

entrapment sensors requires a 2-step process:

•  Press Open or Close momentarily. Audible beeps in quick succession indicate tripped 

sensors or fault conditions.  

•  Within 5 seconds of hearing the beeps, apply constant hold pressure to override 

the tripped sensor or fault. The gate operator runs while pressure is maintained to 

actuating device (examples include, Push button Open, Push button Close, Open 

Partial or Keypad Open/Close), or a limit is reached, or another sensor trips.

To help in diagnosing a controller board problem, the active status of each input on the Controller is indicated by its 

associated LED. 

•  On AC- powered gate Operators: Active-input LEDs are always illuminated.
•  On DC- powered gate Operators (with AC input OFF or disconnected): Press and hold the Tact button to 

illuminate the active-input LEDs.

A short list of codes appears on the next page and provides additional troubleshooting solutions. For a complete list of 

troubleshooting codes, refer to the Troubleshooting Codes table in your gate operator’s 

Programming and Operations

manual.
