ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Turn gate operator and all
circuit breakers
OFF
before
performing maintenance on
the gate operator or making
contact with output receptacles.
NEVER
insert any objects
into output receptacles during
operation. This is extremely
dangerous. The possibility
exists of
electrical shock,
electrocution, or death
.
NEVER
let power wires
lay in water.
NEVER
use
damaged
or
worn
wire when
connecting equipment. Inspect for cuts in the
insulation.
NEVER
grab or touch a live
power cord or cable with wet
hands. The possibility exists of
electrical shock, electrocution
or death.
Make sure power cables are securely connected
to the generator’s output receptacles. Incorrect
connections may cause electrical shock and
damage to the generator.
ALWAYS
make certain that proper power has
been selected for the job. See Cable Selection
Chart in this manual.
GROUNDING SAFETY
ALWAYS
make sure that
electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth
ground (ground rod) per the
National Electrical Code (NEC)
and local codes.
Severe injury
or death by electrocution
can result from
operating an ungrounded operator.
NEVER
use gas piping as an electrical ground.
BATTERY SAFETY
Some HySecurity operators use sealed, state-of-
the-art Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries and
highly recommends replacing used batteries with
new AGM-type batteries.
To reduce risk of fi re or injury to persons:
Observe polarity between batteries and
charging circuit.
Never mix battery sizes, types, or brands.
Charging circuit on HySecurity DC operators is
designed for AGM-type batteries, not lead acid-
type batteries. HySecurity strongly recommends
that only sealed AGM style batteries be used.
Exercise care in handling
batteries. Be aware metal found
in rings, bracelets, and keys can
c o n d u c t e l e c t r i c i t y, s h o r t
batteries, and cause potential
injury.
Do not open or mutilate batteries.
Battery cells contain corrosive
materials which may cause burns
and other injuries. Material within
batteries is toxic.
Always dispose of batteries properly. Do NOT
place batteries in fi re. Battery cells
may explode. Follow federal
guidelines for proper disposal of
hazardous waste.
ALWAYS
keep battery cables in
good working condition. Repair
or replace all worn cables.
Replace batteries according to
instructions found in
DC Battery
Replacement
.
CAUTION
Batteries used with HySecurity gate operator
contain materials considered hazardous
to environment. Proper battery disposal is
required by federal law. Refer to
Hazardous
Waste Regulations
federal guidelines.
