WInd load faCtors & sIte prep
Wind load is always a factor when considering the appropriate gate for a particular site. Solid gate panels pro-
duce a larger wind load than gates with slats or open decorative features. If you are installing a gate operator in
high wind areas, the gate design may affect the load on the gate operator. Because wind force acts the same as
an obstruction, it is important that gates be designed to present a relatively low surface area for the wind to push
on the gate panel.
In the case of the StrongArmPark DC, it is always advisable to remove the barrier arm altogether when high winds
are anticipated. Another option is to install a catch post to keep the barrier arm from bending in the wind.
NOTICE: Under certain wind load conditions, damage to the barrier arm or gate operator may occur and is not
covered by the HySecurity Limited Warranty.
StrongArmPark DC incorporates a dynamic reversing sensor into its design. More information about adjusting the
sensitivity can be found in this manual under, “Adjusting the Dynamic Reversing Sensor” on page 5-8. When the
barrier arm encounters an impediment, it sends a signal to the gate operator to stop and reverse direction. This
feature may be falsely triggered in excessively windy conditions.

NOTICE: Before attempting a manual release, make sure the barrier arm is not in motion.
Make sure and instruct all users how to move the gate manually. Use the Hold
Open toggle switch to raise the barrier arm or, in the case of complete AC &
DC power loss, turn off both AC and DC power switches and lift the barrier
arm to open it.
