Product Usage Instructions
Remove Old Parts:
- Loosen the screws that secure the cover to the SlideDriver chassis and remove the cover.
- Position the gate as required for maintenance.
- Set the power switch to OFF.
- Carefully, unclamp the drive wheels.
Note: The drive rail must not sag in the center or it will rub against
dual limit sensors.
Caution: Turn off power to the gate operator and take the necessary
precautions to avoid electrical shock.
Install New Parts:
- Mark the inside ends of the stop ramps. Remove all limit ramps and screws.
- Disconnect the limit switches from the SmartTouch Controller.
- Remove the mounting screws from the limit switch and remove the limit switch.
Dual Limit Sensor(s):
Use the included 8-32 bolts and nuts to install the bracket on the right side.
Do not fully tighten.
Note: Any adjacent pair of limit sensor holes can be used, the
recommended holes are the ones closest to the center of the operator to
maximize the bracket adjustment range.
Limit Flags and Limit Sensor Adjustment:
- Install the inside end of the limit flag on the marked position (drill a new hole in the limit track to temporarily hold the limit flag in place).
- (SD50VF2/3) Install the middle of the 24-inch limit flag on the marked position (drill 2 holes in the limit track approximately 12 in apart to temporarily hold the limit flag in place).
Note: Existing slow-down limit ramp holes may be used to install the limit flags if they are in an appropriate location.
- Install a screw into the limit flag holes, thread a square nut onto each screw, and slide the limit flag onto the square nut.
- Make sure the dual limit sensor is vertically centered on the limit flag face.
- Set dual limit sensor spacing: loosen the two nuts (11/16 in) on the dual limit sensor, adjust the spacing between the dual limit sensor and stop limit flag face to 1/4 to 3/4 in (6 to 19 mm), and tighten the nuts to hold this spacing.
- Repeat steps 8 through 12 for the limit flag(s) on the opposite end of travel.
FAQ:
Q: How should I install the limit flags?
A: When facing the operator from the secure side of the gate, the black
limit flag goes on the left side of the rail and the gray limit flag goes on
the right side.

REMOVE OLD PARTS
-
Loosen the screws that secure the cover to the SlideDriver chassis and remove the cover.
-
Position the gate as required for maintenance.
-
Set the power switch to OFF.
-
Carefully, unclamp the drive wheels.
NOTICE
The drive rail must not sag in the center or it will rub against dual limit sensors.
CAUTION
Turn off power to the gate operator and take the necessary precautions to avoid electrical shock.
SLIDEDRIVER LIMIT SENSOR RETROFIT KIT -
Mark the inside ends of the stop ramps. Remove all limit ramps and screws (Figure 4).
-
Disconnect the limit switches from the SmartTouch Controller (Figure 8).
-
Remove the mounting screws from the limit switch and remove the limit switch.
Note : On SD50VF2/3 models, repeat steps 5 through step 7 for the slow- down limit switches.
INSTALL NEW PARTS DUAL LIMIT SENSOR(S) -
Use the included 8-32 bolts and nuts to install the bracket on the right side. Do not fully tighten.
Note : Any adjacent pair of limit sensor holes can be used, the recommended holes are the ones closest to the center of the operator to maximize the bracket adjustment range.
Note : On SD50VF2/3 models, repeat step 8 for the left dual limit sensor.
NOTICE
Limit Flag Handing (SlideDriver Retrofit Kit) When facing the operator from the secure side of the gate, the black limit flag goes on the left side of the rail and the gray limit flag goes on the right side.
LIMIT FLAGS AND LIMIT SENSOR ADJUSTMENT -
Install the inside end of the limit flag on the marked position (drill a new hole in the limit track to temporarily hold the limit flag in place). (SD50VF2/3) Install the middle of the 24-inch limit flag on the marked position (drill 2 holes in the limit track approximately 12 in apart to temporarily hold the limit flag in place) (Figure 5).
Note : Existing slow-down limit ramp holes may be used to install the limit flags if they are in an appropriate location. -
Install a screw into the limit flag holes, thread a square nut onto each screw, and slide the limit flag onto the square nut (Figure 6).
-
Make sure the dual limit sensor is vertically centered on the limit flag face (Figure 7).
-
Set dual limit sensor spacing: loosen the two nuts (11/16 in) on the dual limit sensor, adjust the spacing between the dual limit sensor and stop limit flag face to 1/4 to 3/4 in (6 to 19 mm), and tighten the nuts to hold this spacing (Figure 7).
-
Repeat steps 8 through 12 for the limit flag(s) on the opposite end of travel.
CONNECT LIMIT SENSORS TO SMARTTOUCH CONTROLLER -
Connect the limit sensor plugs to the limit terminals on the STC board (Figure 8).
Note : See the limit flag handing NOTICE above for correct limit handing.
Note : On SD50VF2/3 models, connect the plug from the left and right limit sensor to the matching L/R terminal on the STC board (Figure 9). -
(SD50VF2/3 only) Connect the 4-wire slow-down plug to the RPM terminal with the white wire from the left limit sensor below the wire from the right limit sensor (Figure 9).
-
Set the power switch to ON. UPDATE FIRMWARE WITH S.T.A.R.T. (SD50VF2/3 POST-2012 ONLY)
-
Use the retrofit firmware on the included USB flash drive or sent via email with the S.T.A.R.T. installer software to update the firmware on the SmartTouch Controller.
Note : SlideDriver models without a VFD do not require a firmware update.
NOTICE
Pre-2012 VFDs Contact HySecurity Technical Support at support. hysecurity.com for instructions to update pre-2012 VFDs. The modbus cable is required for this update.
COMPLETE INSTALLATION -
Manually move the gate to ensure each flag is detected and the board display shows the correct limit activations.
-
Test cycle the operator.
-
Adjust limit flag position until the gate stops at the right place.
-
Tighten the limit flag screws.
-
Install more screws spaced approximately 6 in (152 mm) along the limit flag. 2 screws for 12 in-limit flags or 4 screws for 24 in-limit flags.
-
Ensure all entrapment sensors are functioning properly, install cover, and return to normal operation.
