CENTURION 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. There are several models available. This manual covers the models shown below. Where features or functions differ from model to model, these differences will be highlighted.
CENTURION FAAC 844 3 PHASE OPERATOR - Heavy duty industrial AC operator for gates weighing up to 2200kg. The principal features of both systems are as follows: The CENTURION gearboxes are manufactured from a high tech engineering polymer to provide a robust, durable and corrosion free product. The moulded shape is attractive and modern in design. The FAAC gearboxes are made from high pressure die cast aluminium.
CENTURION 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. - Press once for approximately 1 second to get the gate into 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.
CENTURION INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON Visitor outside gate requests entrance. Gate opened from intercom pushbutton inside house. PRESS TO OPEN GATE 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.
CENTURION The gate will open approximately 1 metre and then stop. After 5 seconds the gate will automatically close. The gate can be held open by keeping the key turned in the keyswitch. As soon as the key is released back to its normal rest position the gate will close after the 5 second delay. (The opening distance and the time that the gate remains open can be adjusted to suit.
CENTURION Gate Opening Gate opening Gate stops on hitting the obstruction. N.B.: (For CENTURION A5, D3 and D5 models only). If the gate is obstructed repeatedly 4 times, either opening or closing, the gate will stop and will not respond to trigger inputs for 2 minutes. After this time the gate once again respond to command signals. This function is a warning to the user that the obstruction must be removed.
CENTURION AUTOMATIC CLOSING(OPTIONAL) The system has the facility to automatically close the gate after it has been opened. The time that the gate remains open is adjustable up to 4 minutes. AUTO-CLOSE OVERRIDE The auto-close function can be temporarily overridden by holding down the remote INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON or REMOTE PRESS and HOLD GATE RELEASE FOR 3 SECONDS TO OVERRIDE AUTO-CLOSE G AT E S TAY S OPEN control pushbutton or intercom gate release when opening the gate, until the gate stops.
CENTURION - LED flashes twice every 2 seconds when mains supply to gate system has failed (D3/5 only). - LED flashes three times every 2 seconds to indicate a battery low condition (See section Battery Low Protection, D3/5 only) - LED flashes four times every 4 seconds to indicate repeated obstructions of the gate. (Not applicable to FAAC units) BATTERY LOW PROTECTION (D3/5 OPERATOR ONLY) The controller has circuitry that monitors the state of the battery.
CENTURION momentarily the light will switch on for the light timer period and automatically switch off. By pressing and holding the pushbutton down for 3 seconds the lights will switch on and remain on. The status LED (if fitted) will flash once every 2 seconds to confirm this. To switch off the lights press the pushbutton momentarily. If courtesy lights are fitted to the controller, and the pedestrian keyswitch is operated, the courtesy lights will flash for 5 seconds before the gate opens.
CENTURION 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.
CENTURION while the gate is open the "Auto-close" will restart its countdown. If the gate is activated while the gate is closing the gate will reopen. The gate cannot be stopped in a midway position and will therefore always close. A protection beam should be used in conjunction with this facility to prevent the "Auto-close" from closing the gate onto a vehicle passing through. PASSIVE INFRA RED AUTO-CLOSE (PIRAC) This facility is an extension of the Condominium facility described above.
CENTURION Basic Maintenance The CENTURION system is designed to be maintenance free. However, there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly (every six months) which will increase the long term reliability of the system, and obviate false triggering of the protection systems leading to erratic operation of the gate. N.B.: ISOLATE MAINS SUPPLY TO SYSTEM BEFORE CLEANING OR WORKING ON THE EQUIPMENT. GENERAL *Keep the track clear of stones, dirt and obstructions.
CENTURION POWER SUPPLY The D3/D5/A5 operators have power supplies which are separate to the controllers (CP84E - D3/D5; CP83E - A5; CP89 - FAAC 746/844). The power supplies are designed to provide 12V DC power to the electronic controller and in case of the D3/D5 to keep the battery fully charged. The small green light (LED) on both controllers marked - "POWER" - A5, 746 & 844; “CHARGE” - D3/D5 must be illuminated at all times.
