Introduction This guide highlights the features and operation of CENTSYS SLIDING GATE OPERATORS to ensure that you, the user, get the most from your system. Basic maintenance is also described, but in the event of product malfunction, you are advised to contact your installer, or your local Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd outlet (refer to back page).
optional (see SOLAR PANEL, page 17 for more details about solar charging). In multi-user applications the D5 operator is available with a transformer rectifier unit (power-pack), which replaces the battery and charger. The power pack operates directly off a 220V* mains supply only. Battery backup is available by simply adding an externally mounted battery.
Normal operation The gates can be opened or closed in the following way: Radio transmitter A handheld radio transmitter, carried in the motor car, sends a coded signal to the receiver mounted in the control enclosure to open or close the gate. A10 Press once for approximately one second to initiate gate motion. If the transmitter is pressed while the gate is either opening or closing the gate will immediately stop. Pressing the button again will cause the gate to reverse.
Most automatic gate installations are fitted with an intercom which provides for communication between the house and the gate. The intercom handset is usually provided with a “Gate" or "Door Release” pushbutton which, when pressed, sends a signal to the gate controller to open the gate. The sequence of operation of this pushbutton is identical to the radio transmitter described under “Radio Transmitter”. Pedestrian keyswitch (optional) The pedestrian keyswitch is fitted to the gate pillar.
Controller features and functions Introduction The electronic controller synchronizes the functions of the gate operator. Although the controllers for each operator are marginally different, the functions and safety features which are described below are similar.
Automatic alignment CENTSYS operators are fitted with a manual override mechanism. This is to allow the gate to be operated in the event of a total malfunction of the equipment. It is also required if the mains power has failed in the case of the 220V operators ( A10 models). When a command signal is given after the gate has been moved manually and then reengaged, the gate will drive to either it’s fully open, or closed, position.
If a gate status indicator (LED) has been fitted inside the house, an additional confirmation of the functioning of the override is provided. The status LED will stop flashing and remain ON when the Autoclose has been overridden. Mains failure detection (D3/D5 only) Although these systems will continue to operate in the event of a mains power failure due to the built-in battery, it is important to register that there is a problem before the battery is run flat.
Origin sensor fail (A10 only) The A10 operator uses an origin switch to ensure it stops in the correct open and closed positions. If this switch fails for any reason, the operator will shut down. To provide indication to the user that there has been an origin sensor failure, the status LED will flash three times every two seconds.
Holiday lockout (optional) A keyswitch can be connected to the gate system that will allow the system to be totally immobilised. The keyswitch is mounted with access from the outside of the property. When the keyswitch is OFF, the gate system will shut down and it will not be possible to operate the gate. When the keyswitch is ON, the gate system will operate normally. This is an added security feature should the property be unattended for an extended length of time.
Gate status indication (optional) The controller can provide visual indication inside the house of the position of the gate and the condition of the battery and power supply. An LED is typically mounted on the intercom inside the house.
Solar panel (optional on D3/D5 systems only) The battery of the 12V DC operator may be charged using a solar panel in place of the conventional charging circuit. A 12 Watt panel will provide on average 10 - 12 operations of an average gate without causing the battery to discharge over a period of time. SOLAR PANEL It is necessary to have at least a 35Ah deep cycle low-maintenance battery fitted, in order to provide sufficient backup capacity during days of poor weather.
protection circuitry will not connect the battery to the converter. The DC Converter module has three status LEDs. These LEDs indicate battery status, AC mains status, and lastly the temperature of the converter.
Special Functions Reversing Mode Apart from the Standard Mode of Operation as described in the section Normal Operation, the system offers another Mode of Operation. Referred to as Reversing Mode, if the transmitter is pressed while the gate is moving, the gate will automatically reverse direction. The gate can never be left in mid position with this mode selected. Other Modes of Operation which can be selected and operated using a radio transmitter are CONDOMINIUM and PIRAC, which are described below.
the "Autoclose" facility described earlier can be enabled. The gate will now remain in the open position until either the "Autoclose" facility has timed out, or a vehicle has driven through the entrance, in which case the gate will start to close immediately the vehicle has passed. Manual release All operators are fitted with a manual release mechanism. This is to allow the gate to be operated in the event of a total malfunction of the equipment.
Re-engaging the manual release (A10 only) It is strongly recommended that the gate is first pushed to the fully open position, and then to the fully closed position before the release handle is reengaged. This is to ensure that no untoward behavior occurs due to the system having lost its position information. Basic maintenance CENTSYS operators are designed to be maintenance-free. However, there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly (every six months).
The battery (D3/D5 Operators only) CENTSYS systems that are fitted with maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, should provide at least three years of normal service life. For sites utilizing an external 35Ah battery, ensure that the level of liquid (electrolyte level) is correct. Check for corrosion of the battery terminals. Clean and apply copper based grease as necessary. WARNING Ensure that the enclosure which houses the 35Ah battery can adequately vent any battery gases generated.
A10 Inverter module WARNING The 310V DC supply is hazardous and potentially lethal. The A10 inverter module should be installed and maintained by a qualified installer. A10 models are supplied with spare fuses housed in the controller card cover. Be careful to replace A10 fuses with those of the correct rating (see diagram below). The small green light (LED) on the controller marked - “POWER” - indicates if the card is active. Each power supply has a red light (LED) to indicate mains supply.
