Troubleshooting
The Smart Touch Controller system includes many self diagnostics. The LCD displays specific messages and
the Audio Alert buzzer sounds distinctive chirps. Any Alerts, Faults or Errors are also logged into memory and
date/time stamped. For diagnostic purposes these messages can be retrieved with optional START software
available from HySecurity (see bottom of page 29). The following chart lists problem codes detected by the
Smart Touch Controller.

The green LED (near #24 on Classic Smart Touch boards and near the “coin” battery on New
Generation controllers (after Sept. 2006)) is the “heartbeat” of the processor. This LED always blinks at
a steady pace, to indicate normal operation.
Gate Speed:
The speed at 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 a
valve setting will cause inefficiency and heat. If the speed of a gate must be changed, contact your HySecurity distributor.
Extremely cold weather is unlikely to seriously affect the speed of the gate, because HySecurity employs a special grade of
hydraulic oil that we call Uniflow, which maintains a 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 to 167F
(-40C to 75C) 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 is filled with Uniflow fluid. Consider adding a heater in extreme weather.
