Nice has unveiled the SwingSmart™ 535 and SlideSmart™ 535, a new line of commercial gate operators designed for challenging environments like gated communities, commercial sites, and storage facilities.

These operators incorporate advanced brushless DC motor technology combined with next-gen control intelligence to ensure smooth, efficient, and quiet performance.

Smart DC Platform Enhancements

The 535 Series builds on Nice's established Smart DC platform, re-engineered to offer more intelligence, connectivity, and efficiency.

John Allen, Director of Product Management at Nice North America, emphasized the intuitive and powerful nature of this technology, noting that it sets a new standard in performance and reliability for professionals in the field.

Innovative Control and Power Features

Central to gate operators are the SmartTouch™ 725 Controller and SmartBLDC Power Module

Central to both gate operators are the SmartTouch™ 725 Controller and SmartBLDC Power Module, which provide precise torque control and efficient power management. These units feature a 24-volt brushless DC motor with direct-drive operation for quieter functionality and minimal maintenance.

They include an integrated battery-backup system capable of up to 100 gate cycles in power outages and a 200-watt MPPT charger to maximize solar efficiency.

Advanced Connectivity and Integration

The 535 Series introduces Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) wireless connectivity that pairs with the HySecurity Installer App, enabling technicians to configure over 70 settings and conduct diagnostics directly from smartphones.

The setup process is facilitated by an intuitive two-line OLED display, integrated seven-day timer, toolless wire terminals, and compatibility with BlueBus® accessories and MegaCode® receiver systems for seamless pairing with remotes and in-vehicle transmitters.

Enhanced Maintenance and Remote Monitoring

These operators come equipped with advanced debug logging and event history features for easy diagnostics and maintenance.

USB and Ethernet ports support firmware updates, while HyNet™ technology allows secure remote monitoring. This embedded technology reduces service call costs through proactive maintenance alerts.

Design Adaptations for Varied Applications

Both models boast a unified design with weather-resistant and rodent-proof enclosures

The SwingSmart 535 is tailored for areas like gated neighborhoods and estate properties, while the SlideSmart 535 suits commercial environments such as utilities and small businesses. Both models boast a unified design with weather-resistant and rodent-proof enclosures. 

Additionally, the SwingSmart model integrates Nice’s patented Taper Clamp technology for high-wind applications and enhanced safety in vehicle accidents, incorporating features like adaptive Intelligent Entrapment Sensing (IES) and a durable cast-steel arm assembly.

Unified Technology Strategy

For the first time, Nice combines HySecurity’s control architecture with Linear’s MegaCode wireless innovation and Nice BlueBus connectivity. This integration simplifies training and enhances interoperability across Nice’s perimeter-access solutions. Jeff Shaw, Chief Product Officer at Nice North America, stated that the 535 Series embodies the strategic focus on reliability and user-centric design, leveraging HySecurity's durability and Nice's simplicity.

The SwingSmart 535 and SlideSmart 535 gate operators are now available through Nice's authorized distribution partners.
