Installation Instructions
Hy5B Vehicle Detector: MX4125
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:
•
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.
NOTE:
For in depth aspects on all features of the Hy5B, see
found in the
Test the Vehicle Loop
Run diagnostic tests on the vehicle loops before installing Hy5B vehicle
detectors to ensure the loops are in good working condition. The following
tests cannot guarantee a functioning loop, but failure of either test means that
the loop may be damaged or need to be replaced.
1. Test – Measure the resistance of the loop and lead-in wire. It should not
exceed 4.0 ohms.
2. Test – Measure the resistance to earth ground with a Megohmeter
(Megger). It should be 100 Megohms or more. Below 50 mega-ohms, install
a new loop.
NOTE:
Loops may function at 100 Megohms or less, but will not be reliable (for example, when
the ground is wet from rainfall). A low megohm reading on the resistance to earth ground usually
occurs due to broken or moisture saturated insulation. Be sure to use wire with a direct burial
jacket such as XLPE or XHHW wire. Do NOT use THHN wire.
Check the Version of Software
1.
In the field, open the gate operator’s Control Box.
2. To view the software version, press the RESET key. To use Hy5B features, the
software version must be h4.55 or h5.56 (or higher). Otherwise, the Hy5B
reverts to Hy5A emulation mode.

If initializing, wait until initialization is complete.
If flashing during loop operation, take following steps:
1. Check loop wiring.
See
Test the Vehicle Loop on page 2.
2. Replace loop.
3. If loop is not at issue, swap out Hy5B vehicle detector
with a known operational Hy5B.
4. If necessary, replace Hy5B.
