The Smart DC Controller provides an interface for up to four different vehicle detector functions.
NOTE:
Standard box type 11 pin (24 VDC or 24 VAC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the traditional manner to the
controller, but HySecurity Hy5B mini-detector modules plug directly into the board, making field installation much faster and
enhancing performance.
The Hy5B detector communicates with the Smart DC Controller microprocessor to achieve the following
benefits:
•
Automatic Sensitivity
– The Hy5B monitors vehicle traffic over the loop and automatically adjusts the
loop sensitivity based on vehicle type and volume.
•
Automatic Gate Compensation
– The Hy5B discerns gate travel over the loop and automatically
compensates for its effect. The compensation allows the Hy5B to operate with a higher sensitivity
which provides better detection capability.
•
No Loop Crosstalk
– Exclusive use of Hy5B vehicle detectors in HySecurity gate operators, completely
eliminates crosstalk and the need to set frequency levels.
•
Vehicle Counting
– Hy5B detects passenger vehicles and motorcycles.
•
Automatic Lightning Suppression
- Where lightning strikes occur often, connecting to the ground
terminal minimizes the chance of activation or lock-up.
•
Health Scores for Loop
– Hy5B monitors the loop for changes that are indicative of possible
problems. A score is accessible through the event log, LG menu item.
•
Automatic Hy5A emulation mode
for backward compatibility.
Hy5B Installation
To install an Hy5B vehicle detector, you will need to take
the following steps:
• Test the vehicle loop
• To use all the features of Hy5B, update the software
version on the gate operator to the latest version
using S.T.A.R.T. and a PC laptop. Access free
software updates from the HySecurity website:
www.hysecurity.com
• Install the Hy5B vehicle detector
• Fully cycle the gate at least 2 times to allow the
detector to adjust to the effects of the gate during
travel. Drive a test vehicle over the loops.
