Troubleshooting

Codes show on the display and the buzzer chirps. An Alert clears with a new Open or Close command. A Fault clears with the Stop or Reset button. An Error clears only with the Reset button or by cycling power.

SAFE MODE or ENTRAPMENT MODE

Safe Mode means the edge or inherent sensor tripped. The close timer is off until the next command.
Entrapment Mode means a second trip while in Safe Mode. Remove the obstruction and give an Open, Stop or Reset command.
Check for binding hardware or wind load if the alert comes back with no obstruction.

Power and battery

NO AC POWER: check the breaker, the AC power switch on the operator and the supply wiring.
LOW 24VDC shows below 22 V. Below 21 V the controller does not work normally. Check AC power, battery connections, battery condition, the charger and the transformer.

ACTION BLOCKED

ACTION BLOCKED PHOTO EYE CLOSE or OPEN means that eye shows tripped. Clear the beam, realign it and check the N.C. wiring to SENSOR COM.
Make sure the sensor settings match the devices installed.

Inputs

Input LEDs on the Smart DC Controller show which inputs are active. On solar units, hold the Tact button to light them.
The event log under the User Menu lists past alerts, faults and errors with date and time.

Common questions

An alert clears with a new Open or Close command. A fault clears with the Stop or Reset button. An error clears only with the Reset button or by cycling power.

The AC models use two 8 Ah batteries (HySecurity MX002008 replacement kit). They give up to 4,000 ft of gate travel after an AC power loss.

Operators built to UL 325-2016 need monitored entrapment sensors wired to the SENSOR inputs and set in the installer menu before the gate will close automatically. Check for a tripped photo eye or edge and any active open or loop input.

Software h5.52 and later keeps an event log in the User Menu with the date and time of each alert, fault and error. Older software needs a laptop with the free S.T.A.R.T. software.

The AC models are rated UL 325 Class III and IV. For Class I and II sites or solar power, use the SlideSmart DCS 15 or DCS 10F.
