Troubleshooting
The Smart Touch Controller system includes many self diagnostic capabilities. The LCD will display
specific messages and the Audio Alert buzzer will sound distinctive chirps. Any Alerts, Faults or Errors
are also logged into a memory and stamped with a time and date. For diagnostic purposes, these mes-
sages can be retrieved with optional WinLogger™ software available from Hy-Security Gate.
The following chart is a listing of codes that would appear on the LCD display if problems
are detected by the Smart Touch Controller.
Error, Fault, or Alert Status LCD Display Buzzer Chirp Sequence
Cannot respond due to tripped Entr 2 chirps/sec every 2 seconds while
sensor or in Entrapment mode control input is active
Safety Mode Alert SAFE 2 chirps once when in Safety Mode
Low 24V Control Voltage Alert Lo24 (ac or dc) N/A (LCD flashes once every 5 seconds)

EEPROM Data Error (user menu) Err9 3 chirps/sec once per minute
Program Data Error FAiL 3 chirps/sec once per minute
The green LED near #2 on the terminal strip is the heartbeat of the processor. This LED
should always blink brightly to indicate normal operation.
GATE SPEED: The speed in which a hydraulic operator moves a gate is determined by the size of the pump
and the size of the actuator components. Just like a gear box, this speed is not adjustable. Attempting to slow
a gate by changing any valve setting will cause a great deal of inefficiency and heat. If the speed of a gate
must be changed, contact your Hy-Security distributor. Extremely cold weather is unlikely to seriously affect
the speed of the gate, because Hy-Security employs a special grade of hydraulic oil that we call UNIFLOW oil,
which maintains a very linear viscosity over a broad range of temperatures. Because of this high quality oil and
other design considerations, we rate our operators for service in ambient temperatures of -40F degrees to
130F degrees. If the speed of your operator has been affected by cold weather, verify that the gate hardware is
not impaired by ice and verify that the reservoir it is filled with UNIFLOW oil. In severe conditions, consider
adding a heater.
