Introduction This guide highlights the features and operation of CENTURION 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 branch (refer to back page).
models a 12V battery is the primary power source thus providing a limited number of operations in the event of a mains power failure. This battery is normally charged by an internal 220V* charger. For sites where a 220V mains supply is unavailable, an external 220-12V adaptor, or solar panel is 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 FAAC 844 models employ an inductive proximity limit switch, which has no moving parts, thereby improving reliability. Electronic controllers are integral with all 844 models except the 844 three-phase model, in which case the electronics are housed in a separate wall mounted enclosure.
PRESS TO OPEN GATE Visitor outside gate requests entrance. Gate opened from intercom pushbutton inside house. 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.
delay. (The opening distance and the time that the gate remains open can be adjusted to suit. Default values are described above) If a protection beam has been fitted (refer section “Protection Beam”) and the beam is broken while the gate is closing, the gate will stop. The gate will remain in that position while the beam is broken and only close 5 seconds after the beam has been cleared.
(For CENTURION models only). If the gate is obstructed repeatedly 4 times, either opening or closing, often referred to as multiple collision, the gate will stop and will not respond to trigger inputs for 2 minutes. After this time the gate will once again respond to command signals. This function is a warning to the user that the obstruction must be removed. (The number of obstructions before the system will shutdown can be adjusted to suit, default is 4).
INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON or REMOTE PRESS and HOLD GATE RELEASE FOR 3 SECONDS TO OVERRIDE AUTO-CLOSE G AT E S TAY S OPEN If a gate status indicator (LED) has been fitted inside the house (refer below) an additional confirmation of the functioning of the override is provided. The status LED will stop flashing and remain ON when the auto-close has been overridden.
THERMAL OVERLOAD (A10 ONLY) In the event of the A10 operator being used excessively and the duty cycle rating of the unit exceeded, the unit will shut down due to thermal overload in order to protect the system from abuse. The unit cannot be re-operated until the unit has cooled. To provide indication to the user that this is the cause of the fault the STATUS LED will flash 2 times every 2 seconds.
! ! If the gate is closing, it will immediately stop and reopen. If the transmitter or intercom gate release pushbutton is pressed while the beam is broken, or the loop activated, the gate will remain open. The auto-close time will restart its countdown. 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.
starts to open or close. The courtesy light timer will function as normal. (Preflash time can be adjusted to suit, from 1 to 250 seconds, where the default is 5 seconds). By default pre-flashing is off. 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. A 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 SOLAR PANEL 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. It is necessary to have at least a 35A/H deep cycle low maintenance battery fitted, in order to provide sufficient backup capacity during days of poor weather.
The DC Converter module has three status LED's. These LED's indicate battery status, AC mains status, and lastly the temperature of the converter. The LED's operate in the following manner: LED When ON, it indicates: Battery status Battery is fully charged AC Mains Converter temperature Logic Mains present Overheated DC converter will shut down until it has cooled to normal operating temperature range.
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.
In this mode and for a particular application should the gate start to close too quickly the "Auto-close" facility described earlier can be enabled. The gate will now remain in the open position until either the "auto-close" 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.
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 re-engaged. This is to ensure that no untoward behavior occurs due to the system having lost its position information. Basic Maintenance CENTURION operators are designed to be maintenance free. However, there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly, (every six months).
THE BATTERY (D3/5 OPERATORS ONLY) CENTURION systems that are fitted with maintenance free lead acid batteries, should provide at least 3 years of normal service life. For sites utilizing an external 35A/H 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. GEARBOX OIL LEVEL (A10 ONLY) Check the oil level as described in the section, Lubrication, of the Installation Manual.
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.
