ECI recently furnished and installed a new slide gate operator at a second location for the Village of Rolling Meadows’ Public Works Department (pictured above). Here we used Nice/HySecurity’s SlideSmart™ HD25 Slide Gate Operator.
The gate operator is the black rectangular housing shown behind the fence to the right of the open gate. A closer view looking out to the street is shown below.
Notes: We also provided safety edges and a photo-electric beam (shown on the posts) as entrapment devices for safety. If someone or an object is sensed the gate is automatically stopped and reversed to prevent injury to the person or damage to the object.
Also shown are the sealed cut marks for a pair of vehicle detector loops. These loops are a both safety and convenience feature for automated gate systems. They improve traffic flow and user convenience be sensing vehicles and relaying the gates to open or close automatically.
HySecurity HD25 Slide Gate Operator
The HD25 is extremely reliable, even under heavy use. It can handle gates up to 2,500 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. A standard UPS battery backup means the gate can continue to function during power outages, providing up to 4,000 ft of travel after AC power loss. It can be either post-mounted (shown here) or pad-mounted.
HySecurity offers two other models in the SlideSmart™ HD line, each catering to different needs:
- The HD15F is the speedster of the family, ideal for locations requiring faster gate operations. It accommodates gates weighing up to 1,500 lb.
- The HD30 is the powerhouse model, designed for the heaviest gates, up to 3,000 lb.
All three models can operate gates up to 50 feet long.
Some key features across the entire SlideSmart™ HD line include:
- Over 70 user-configurable (programmable) settings to customize the operator to meet specific site requirements.
- An onboard event log simplifies system diagnostics and maintenance to ease troubleshooting.
- An operating temperature range of -13ºF to 158ºF meaning no heater is required.
- Two configurable user relays.
- A five-year warranty.
Optional Upgrades
- Extended battery backup – two 50Ah batteries provide up to 25,000 ft of travel after AC power loss.
- A board that provides eight additional relay outputs for enhanced control and integration capabilities.
In April, 2022 I wrote about a previous installation for a different Rolling Meadows Public Works location. We furnished and installed a rail drive gate operator there. You can read the article at “New Sliding Gate Operator For Rolling Meadows Public Works”
