IMPORTANT Safety instructions Even if you have owned and used an automated gate before, we suggest that you read through the safety instructions below very carefully. Although years of thought have been put into every CENTURION product – and your safety is our top priority – accidents do happen. So, please make sure that you fully understand the following safety requirements before using your automated gate.
Introduction This User Guide contains all the information you need to configure and operate your new D5-Evo or D10 Sliding Gate Operator. From safety instructions to basic principles of operation and an in-depth description of your CENTURION product’s many features and functions. By the time you have finished reading this guide you will have learnt how to make the most out of your gate operator.
D10 overview The D10’s 24V DC motor is coupled to the gearbox, resulting in a combination of speed and power that can push up to a 1 000kg sliding gate no problem – perfect for industrial sites such as business parks, housing estates and factories. The precision machined, die cast aluminium gearbox incorporates a self-locking gearset and not only makes short work of massive gates, but the attempts of prospective criminals too.

5. Features and functions Introduction The D5-Evo and D10 sliding gate operators’ advanced functions are controlled by intelligent micro-controller based electronic controllers. Features and functions An intuitive LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) controller with a user-friendly menu allows for quick and easy set-up and the ability to change functions at the touch of a button and displays useful diagnostics. FIGURE 10 5.1. Gate operation 5.1.1.
intercom for approximately one second to get the gate in motion. If you press the button again, while the gate is moving, the gate will stop. Press the button for a third time and the gate will go into reverse Autoclose (page 11) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 14) can be used with Standard Mode.
We highly recommended that you use protection beams if you select Condominium Mode in order to prevent the gate from closing on people, pets or vehicles. Features and functions PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 11) can be used with Condominium Mode. & 5.1.2.4. PLC Mode This highly specialised mode is suited to industrial applications where a separate computer or programmable logic controller (PLC) is used to operate the gate.
5.1.3. Automatic closing (Autoclose Mode) The D5-Evo and the D10 sliding gate operators have the facility to automatically close the gate after it has opened. When enabling this feature, the time that the gate stays open is by default fifteen seconds (this time is adjustable*) As described in the previous section Autoclose is selectable with Standard and Reversing Modes (page 9) and by default the function is off. However, autoclose is automatically enabled in Condominium Mode.
& 5.1.3.2. Autoclose advanced options You can also independently set Autoclose to function when the gate is partly open, fully open or partly closed. Features and functions For example, disable Autoclose when the gate is partly closed to allow construction workers, gardeners, etc access to your property (although this comes with security risks). By enabling the Autoclose in all states of gate movement, ensures that the gate can never be left in any position other than fully closed.
It is possible to adjust the delay before the gate opens in one second increments from zero to 65 seconds (one minute and five seconds). The default time is two seconds. It is possible to adjust the width of the pedestrian opening from a minimum of 50 millimetres to the full gate opening in ten millimetre increments. The default opening is one metre. It is possible to adjust the delay before the gate closes in one second increments from zero to 65 seconds (one minute and five seconds).
5.1.6. PIRAC Mode (Beam Autoclose Mode) - optional This mode can only be used if a Closing Safety Beam (page 18) is fitted. Features and functions This mode can be used in conjunction with any of the operating modes, Standard, Condominium and Reversing. With PIRAC Mode enabled, your gate will close as soon as you have driven through and passed the safety beam – giving intruders no time to follow behind you.
& 5.1.6.1 PIRAC Override The PIRAC (Beam Autoclose Mode) can be overridden in Standard and Reversing Modes. Similar to overriding the Autoclose function you must press and hold the button of the remote control or intercom gate release for at least six seconds. The gate response will be to start opening and then to stop for a pause time of three seconds and then continue to open as soon as the PIRAC Override feature is activated.
Features and functions & 5.1.7.1. Emergency Stop The Holiday Lockout function can also be used as an Emergency Stop function. Mount an emergency stop pushbutton in a weatherproof housing near the gate and you can bring your gate to an immediate stop with just one press. The emergency stop button must be reset before the gate can be operated again. Emergency Stop will override normal Holiday Lockout Mode functions.
5.1.10. Anti-crushing Sensitivity The D5-Evo and D10 incorporate a sensitive electronic anti-crushing technology that activates if a person or vehicle obstructs your gate. Features and functions The operator will respond differently to obstructions depending on the Operating Standard (e.g. CE, UL325) you select. The typical response for an opening gate is to immediately stop and a closing gate will stop then immediately reopen.
5.1.11. Infrared Safety Beam (optional but recommended) Features and functions & 5.1.11.1. Closing Safety Beams Closing Safety Beams provide additional protection against your gate closing on people, pets or vehicles. If the closing beam is broken while the gate is opening, it will continue to open. If the gate is open, the gate cannot be closed and if the gate is closing, it will stop and reopen.
5.1.12. Intruder Detection Alarms* (a world first) & 5.1.12.1. Ambush Alarm Once activated, if the opening or closing beams are continuously interrupted for a predefined time, the Ambush Alarm will sound. Intruders often cover beams’ lenses, thus breaking the beam, so your gate stays open after you have entered or left your property – but with the Ambush Alarm enabled you can be instantly alerted of any criminal activity. Features and functions FIGURE 26 & 5.1.12.2.
5.1.13. External Gate Status Indication features and functions A LED (Light Emitting Diode) mounted on your intercom allows you to view the position of your gate and the condition of the battery and power supply from the safety of your home.
& 5.1.14.1. Courtesy (Pillar) Light Control The Courtesy (Pillar) Lights can be switched on from inside your home or office by connecting a pushbutton to the D5-Evo or D10 controller. For your safety this pushbutton switches only low-voltage signals. Press and release the button for the lights to switch on for the defined period then switch off automatically. Press and hold the button for three to four seconds for the lights to stay on permanently, until you push the button again.
5.1.15. Onboard Multichannel Receiver Features and functions The D5-Evo and D10 controllers are supplied standard with a multichannel receiver compatible with CENTURION’s secure rolling code (KeeloqTM encryption). The receiver will allow any combination of the different inputs (such as Trigger, Pedestrian, Holiday Lockout, etc.) to be operated from a single multi-button remote control.
Another function provided with this receiver is the ability to record the memory location of each remote control, mapping this to the name of the owner of the remote (if recorded). This allows any transmitter that is lost or stolen to be selectively erased from the system without affecting any of the other remotes installed. It is also possible to erase the functions of certain buttons on a remote control if they’re no longer required.
& 5.1.16.1. Some examples of how to use ChronoGuard: Features and functions & Pillar / Courtesy Lights could be set to switch on at 20:00 in combination with Holiday Lockout Mode so your driveway would be lit up and locked down to keep you safe at night. FIGURE 33 & Time-bar prevents something from switching on or being activated – so use it to turn off functions like Courtesy / Pillar Lights to save electricity during the day.
5.1.17. Battery Low Protection In the event of a power failure, energy is drawn from the battery but not replaced. Battery Low Protection will shut off the gate system to prevent running the battery flat when the battery voltage drops below: & D5-Evo – 10.5 volts & D10 – 21 volts The Gate Status Indication LED will flash three times every two seconds and the controller LCD will state “Battery Low”. The gate will complete its current cycle, close and then shut down until the battery voltage has recovered.
6. Additional features 6.1. Battery saver In the event of a Battery Low shutdown, only the motor will stop drawing current – the controller, infrared beams and any other peripheral device will continue to draw power and flatten the battery, however, at a much slower rate. Additional features An optional low cut-out switch (product code CP107) totally disconnects the battery and protects it from being fully discharged and potentially damaged.
6.3. Lightning Protection The D5-Evo and D10 controllers come standard with on-board lightning protection – but please make sure that an adequate earth is installed for this to function properly. Please contact CENTURION for more information. Lightning damage is not covered under the normal warranty of the equipment.
7. 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). These checks will increase the long term reliability of the system and prevent erratic operation of your gate. WARNING! Isolate mains supply as well as disconnect the battery before cleaning or working on the equipment.
8. Diagnostics Depending on the type of fault or condition of the motor, audible feedback will be given via the onboard buzzer. Listen out for this and refer to the table below: The different conditions are given in order of precedence.
