How Software Handles Monitoring External
Entrapment Protection Sensors
HySecurity gate operators use software to control gate movement, contacts, and accessories. The changeover
in 2016 to monitoring sensors has been a simple process.
• Build Year is a new Installer Menu item in the Smart Touch Controllers versions h4.50 (and higher).
• New labels show where Edge, Photo Eye Open and Photo Eye Closed have changed to “SENSOR”
inputs. You can program the type of sensor wired to each of those inputs. See table below.
• Installer Menu items, PC and GC (Photo eye output and edge sensor output) which used to default
to Normally Open (NO) have been converted to Normally Closed (NC) contacts so the software can
detect the presence and proper operation of external entrapment protection sensors.

NOTE: NOTE: Three inputs for external entrapment protection sensors are available on the HySecurity gate operator controller.
Table 3 indicates how the edge and photo eye inputs have been renamed to generic “sensor” inputs. They are
interchangeable and congurable. The software must know what type of sensor is wired to SENSOR 1, 2, and 3
BEFORE it will allow gate travel.
External Entrapment Protection Sensors: What the
Installer Needs to Do
NOTE: NOTE: All HySecurity gate operators built off 2016, will have the Build Year setting.
A Build Year of 2 or 3 (BY 2 or BY 3) indicates that your gate operator is prepared to monitor for external entrapment protection
sensors. The Build Year setting appears in the system scroll on the gate operator display. BY 2 is for operators built between January
1, 2016 and July 31, 2018. BY 3 is for operators built after July 31, 2018. The gate operator will not automatically cycle the gate
unless an indication that the appropriate number of external entrapment protection sensors are connected and operational.
The normally closed (NC) entrapment protection sensors wired to the Controller’s SENSOR inputs are
monitored using HySecurity software. Prompts appear in the display requesting specic congurations based
on the gate operator type.
Table 4: Installer Menu Settings for SENSOR Inputs on page 42 illustrates what options are available for the
HySecurity Controller’s congurable inputs. Input labeling has changed to:
SENSOR 1 SENSOR 2 SENSOR 3 SENSOR COM
