8. The Smart DC Controller automatically governs frequency selection for all
HY-5Adetectormodules.Thissimpliesinstallationandguaranteesthat
there is no cross-talk between multiple loops. The frequency and call level
can also be manually selected; if this is required, refer to the appropriate
loop set in the “Installer Menu: Table 2.” on page 3-7.
For example, CLD0 RUN MODE
CENTER LOOP SET controls the center loop detector.
9. Sensitivity is the only adjustment available on the detector itself. Generally,
sensitivity does not need to be increased unless the loop is large or there
are multiple loops connected to one detector.
NOTE: Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters)
of loop area to one detector.
If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary dial.
The factory default setting is 1.
0 = Low with boost* 4 = Low without boost
1 = Normal with boost* 5 = Normal without boost
2 = Medium with boost* 6 = Medium without boost
3 = High with boost* 7 = High without boost
NOTE: *A boost feature is applied for settings 0 through 3. Boost increases the sensitivity during a call and is useful
for maintaining continuous detection if the signal becomes weak (such as with tractor-trailer trucks). Sensitivity set-
tings 4 through 7 are the same as 0 through 3, but without the boost feature.

11. Set the vehicle detector logic (DL).
NOTE: The outside and inside Obstruction Loop Detectors are factory congured to fully re-open the gate as a
default setting. In the Installer Menu, each detector can individually be set so that when the gate is closing there
is only a pause if triggered. To change the setting, go to the menu OR or IR item and set to 0.
InstallIng standard 11-pIn Box tYpe veHICle deteCtors
If standard 11-pin box type vehicle detectors are to be used, perform the following procedure.

housing. Carefully consider your peripheral connections. Any peripheral device required for safe gate operation
should be attached 24VDC in case of an AC power outage.
NOTE: Box detectors with relays require ve times more power than HY-5A detectors. One HY-5A detector
draws about 0.005A.
1. Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Connect Pin No. 1 to a 24VAC or 24VDC terminal and Pin No. 2 to
common.
