HySecurity MX4138, Cable, Smart Touch Controller
The HySecurity MX4138 cable kit is a service and programming accessory for Smart Touch Controller systems. HySecurity START software is used by technicians to upload code, update operator software, change menu options, and review stored logs on compatible Smart Touch and Smart DC systems. HySecurity support specifically lists MX4138 as the START cable kit for Smart Touch industrial hydraulic operators, while MX002114 is identified as the USB cable for Smart DC electromechanical commercial operators. That distinction is important because the connector style and controller family are not the same. MX4138 is typically selected for SlideDriver, StrongArm, HydraSwing, SwingRiser, and other Smart Touch controlled industrial hydraulic platforms when the controller supports START communication. It should not be purchased as a generic data cable.
Compatible With
This compatibility section is written cautiously because HySecurity parts can vary by operator generation, voltage, controller, installed options, and parts diagram revision.
- HySecurity Smart Touch Controller service applications where START software cable kit MX4138 is required
- Industrial hydraulic HySecurity operators using Smart Touch control, including select SlideDriver, StrongArm, HydraSwing, and SwingRiser systems
- Technician laptop-to-operator connections for configuration, code upload, and log review where supported
- Not the Smart DC USB controller cable; Smart DC references commonly use MX002114
- Not a replacement control board, remote receiver, or field wiring harness

Technician Note
Before replacing MX4138, compare the installed part, operator model, voltage or control type, and HySecurity parts diagram. Similar HySecurity accessories can look close in photos but serve different operator families or voltage configurations.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the HySecurity part number on the existing part or current parts diagram.
- Verify the operator model, generation, controller type, and installed options.
- Check voltage, wiring terminals, enclosure rating, and mounting location when applicable.
- Confirm whether the job requires a complete kit, a subcomponent, or a different voltage/model version.
- For safety devices, confirm the required monitored input type and do not bypass entrapment protection.
Professional Advisory
Electrical wiring, heater kits, and monitored entrapment devices should be installed by a qualified gate technician. Do not bypass required safety devices or substitute parts by appearance alone.
Important Ordering Warnings
- HySecurity part numbers with similar names are not always interchangeable.
- Voltage-specific heater kits and control accessories must match the operator data plate and wiring diagram.
- StrongArm, SlideDriver, SlideDriver II, SlideSmart HD, and Smart Touch/Smart DC accessories should be kept separate unless HySecurity documentation confirms fitment.
- For older operators, verify whether the installed system has been upgraded or retrofitted before ordering.
