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 messages can be retrieved with
optional WinLogger software available from HySecurity 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.

The green LED (near terminal #24 on Classic Controllers or near the “coin” battery on New Generation
Controllers) 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 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 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 s not impaired by ice and
verify that the reservoir it is filled with UNIFLOW oil. In severe conditions, consider adding a heater.
