13. Manually slide the gate

OPEN until the origin

marker is in line with the

origin sensor.

It is possible to make the distance between the marker and the

sensor much greater than 500mm. However, if using the

pedestrian opening facility, although the position of the marker

will not affect the width of the pedestrian opening, it is

preferable to have the marker mounted inside of the pedestrian

opening point

14. Ensure distance between

face of marker and front

face of sensor is between

13mm and 20mm.

Take care with the

orientation of the arrow on

the origin marker. This

arrow must face the

operator

15. Adjust distance by sliding

the origin marker along the

slotted mounting holes

until the specified distance

For best results keep gap

between marker and

sensor as small as

possible

Fit additional fixing screw through the horizontal slots to secure

the rack to the gate directly above the pinion when the gate is

in the closed, pedestrian and open positions

Steel rack

1. Fix rack using the steel angle

brackets provided.

2. Brackets must be spaced no

more than 300mm apart.

3. When joining different

lengths of steel rack, a

simple way of ensuring

correct pitch spacing, is to

clamp a small off-cut

between the two pieces.

Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is

important for the installer to explain the operation and safety

requirements of the system.

NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE

AN AUTOMATED GATE!

Even if the user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how

to SAFELY operate it. Make sure that the user fully understands the

following safety requirements before finally handing over the site.

The following needs to be understood by the user:

How to operate the manual release mechanism.

(Show them how by demonstration)

How the obstruction detection and all other safety features work.

(Show them how by demonstration)

All the features and benefits of the operator, i.e. Safety beams,

Chronoguard, etc.

All the safety considerations associated with operating an

automated gate. The user should be able to pass this

knowledge on to all other users of the automated system

and must be made aware of this responsibility.

Do not activate the gate operator unless

you can see it and can determine that its

area of travel is clear of people, pets, or

other obstructions

NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A

MOVING GATE. Always keep people and objects away

from the gate and its area of travel

NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE

GATE CONTROLS, and do not allow children or pets near

the gate area

Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity

to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched

Secure all easily accessed gate operator controls in

order to prevent unauthorized use of the gate

Keep the automated gate system properly maintained,

and ensure that all working areas are free of debris and

other objects that could affect the gate operation and

safety

On a monthly basis, check the obstruction detection

system and safety devices for correct operation

All repair and service work to this product must be done

by a suitably qualified person

This product was designed and built strictly for the use

indicated in this documentation. Any other use, not

expressly indicated here, could compromise the good

condition/operation of the product and/or be a source

of danger!

Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd does not accept any liability caused by

improper use, of the product, or for use other than that for which the

automated system was designed.

Ensure that the customer is in possession of the User Guide and

that you have completed the installation details in the back of

the User Guide.

CENTSYS operators are designed to be maintenance-free. However,

there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly,

(every six months). These checks will increase the long term reliability

of the system and prevent erratic operation of your gate.

Isolate mains supply as well as disconnecting the

battery before cleaning or working on the equipment.

General

Keep the track clear of stones, dirt and obstructions

Ensure that all rollers run freely

Put the operator into Manual Mode and check that the gate runs

freely on its rail and does not catch or foul against the walls or

pillars

Ensure that the gate wheels and guide-rollers are rotating freely

and are not worn. In high-volume applications it will be necessary

to replace these components regularly

Ensure that the rack is properly secured to the gate and that it

does not press down onto the operator pinion at any point along

its travel

Keep shrubs and vegetation clear of the motor and rack

Check that the key still operates the camlock - spray with

lubrication if necessary

Keep the inside of the motor housing clear of insects and dust

Battery

CENTSYS operators, which are fitted with maintenance-free lead acid

batteries, should provide at least three years of normal service life.

For sites utilising an external large capacity (+/-35Ah) low

maintenance battery, ensure that the level of liquid (electrolyte level)

is correct.

In all instances check for corrosion of the battery terminals. Clean and

apply copper-based grease as necessary.

12. Basic maintenance

Charger

The D5-Evo operator has a charger separate to the main controller. In

the case of product malfunction, the charger fuse should be checked,

but only by a qualified electrician. Always isolate the mains supply to

the operator before attempting to remove and check the fuse.

Check the “Mains Present” icon on the main diagnostic screen or

switch to the battery charger diagnostic screen and check the charger

voltage – right hand value. This should indicate, 13.8V for the

D5-Evo. Each charger has a red light (LED) to indicate mains supply.

Gearbox Oil Level

Check the oil level as described in section 8 of this document or refer

to the online manuals on our website, (www.centsys.com.au).

Alternatively, please contact your CENTSYS installer for assistance

3. Remove the knock-outs for

the cables from the gearbox.

4. Feed the cables through

these holes while fitting the

gearbox to the baseplate.

5. Note how the cables route up

onto the control card.

6. Check that the operator is

level.

7. Secure the gearbox in place

fitting the following in

sequence: first a nut and

then a washer onto each

gearbox mounting; then the

gearbox; and then a washer

followed by a spring washer

and finally a nut onto each

gearbox mounting.

8. Do not mount gearbox flat

down onto mounting plate.

Adjust the height of the

mounting nuts to raise the

gearbox at least 5mm above

the plate. This is to allow for

later adjustments.

9. Seal the conduit and knock-

out holes in the operator

with silicone sealer to

prevent ants from entering

the operator through these

cable entry points.

The rack must be securely

mounted to the side of the

gate. It must be parallel

with the gate rail, and

there must be a 2 - 3mm

gap between the teeth of

the pinion and the rack,

along the entire travel of

the gate

With careful selection of the rack configuration, and

operator vertical height, mounting of the rack could in

some cases be greatly simplified

If a theft-resistant cage is required, be sure to leave

enough clearance from pillars, etc.

If using nylon angle rack please ensure that the

weight and pull force of the gate do not exceed the

strength limit of the rack
