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.

Before you attempt to use your new gate operator for the first time, you should know:

– and the importance of explaining these considerations to everyone who uses the operator

DOs and DON’Ts

1. Do not activate your gate opener unless you can see it. Make sure that no people, pets or any other obstructions are in your gate’s area of travel.

2. NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. Our advanced obstruction detection technology is designed to stop your gate in its tracks should a child or pet be in the way. However this is a reactive system and should never supersede proactive measures of preventing people, pets or vehicles from moving into the path of a moving gate.

3. Check if the obstruction detection system and safety devices for correct operation are in working order once a month.

4. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

5. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

6. Always be mindful of where your limbs are when dealing with moving parts – you don’t want your fingers to be pinched (or worse).

7. Keep your gate controls (remote controls) in a safe place. You don’t want anyone getting in uninvited.

8. Look after your gate and it will look after you. Ensure that all working areas are debris-free and that your automated system is well-maintained and your CENTURION operator should last you a very long time.

9. Ensure that any technician that works on your operator has been trained by CENTURION.

10. 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.

11. Centurion Systems does not accept any liability caused by improper use of the product, or for use other than that for which the automated system was intended. page 1

Introduction

This User Guide contains all the information you need to configure and operate your new D2 Turbo 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.

Even Basic Maintenance is covered but, in the unlikely event that your

CENTURION product malfunctions, rather leave it to the professionals and contact your installer or nearest Centurion Systems branch (contact details listed on the back page) for prompt assistance.

D2 Turbo overview

The D2 Turbo has various useful features and functions, all easily accessible from a user-friendly dial-based setup system. Multiple Modes of Operation,Speed Profiles, an onboard multichannel receiver – you name it, the D2 Turbo's got it.

The integral 12V 5Ah battery (charged by an internal 220V charger) comes with full battery backup and advanced lightning protection so you can always get in – even when the power is out. For increased power capacity you can install a larger, 7Ah battery (your D2 Turbo was designed to cater for this), or you can even use a solar panel to power it. (see the section on Solar Panels, for more details about solar charging)

The D2 Turbo is designed to open and close domestic sliding gates weighing up to 250kg. It must not be installed or used to automate the entrances of townhouses complexes, housing estates, commercial or industrial properties.

The gearbox, moulded from a high-tech engineering polymer not only looks good, but is corrosion-free and guarantees that even if you live at the coast, your D2 Turbo will just keep on going.

For your security, the internal gearset has a self-locking action so forced entry is not an option for would-be burglars.

An optional Theft-resistant Cage and Theft-resistant Locking Nut makes intruders’ lives even more difficult.

For your safety, our revolutionary limit switch mechanism monitors the speed and location of your gate for accurate position control and sensitive anti-crushing protection. page 2

Manual

Override

2. Manual Override

2.1. Disengaging the gearbox/drive

To manually override the operator you will need to: Open the camlock cover, insert the camlock key and rotate it 90° clockwise (the operator cover can also be removed at this stage if so desired).

This will allow for the rotation of the Manual Release thumbwheel.

By turning the Manual Release thumbwheel 90° counterclockwise until it clicks, the motor pinion will be put into

‘Manual Mode’.

2.2. Re-engaging gearbox/drive

To re-engage the drive mechanism of the operator, turn the Manual Release thumbwheel

90° clockwise until it clicks.

Once you have re-engaged the drive mechanism don’t forget to lock the camlock by inserting the key and rotating it 90? counter-clockwise – this will help prevent unauthorised tampering with the operator.

By locking the camlock, the

Manual Release thumbwheel cannot be moved from ‘locked’ to ‘unlocked’ and vice versa.

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

3. Features and functions

Introduction

The D2 Turbo sliding gate operator's advanced functions are controlled by an intelligent micro-controller based electronic controller.

Features and functions

FIGURE 4

3.1. Gate operation

3.1.1. Full Gate Opening

The NOVA remote controls (with

TM

Keeloq encryption) supplied with the D2 Turbo are used to operate the gate.

However, most automatic gate installations are also fitted with an intercom, which provides for communication between the house or building and the gate.

The handset is usually fitted with a gate pushbutton, which when pressed, sends a signal to the D2 Turbo controller to operate the gate.

FIGURE 5

3.1.2. Modes of Operation

To operate the gate to open fully, the D2 Turbo has three modes to choose from depending on the application. Only one mode can be selected at any given time.

Standard Mode is the most commonly used mode for domestic applications as it allows full control of the gate. Press the remote control button for approximately one second to get the gate in motion. If the remote control button is pressed while the gate is page 5

Features and functions moving, the gate will stop. Press the remote control button again and the gate will go into reverse.

Autoclose (page 7) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 9) can be used together with Standard Mode.

This mode is ideal for increased safety in multi-user single dwelling applications.

If you select Open Only Mode, your gate will open when you press the button of the remote control or the gate pushbutton on the intercom – but pressing the button again while the gate is opening will be ignored. It will not cause the gate to stop or to reverse.

Only the internal Autoclose feature described on page 7 of this User

Guide, which is automatically enabled, will close the gate if you have selected Open Only Mode.

If the button of the remote control or intercom gate release is pressed while the gate is closing, the gate will immediately reopen.

The gate cannot be stopped in a midway position and will therefore always close. If the button is pressed while the gate is in the open position, the Autoclose timer (page 7) will be reset.

We highly recommended that a pair of safety beams are installed across the gate entrance and connected to the closing safety beam input on the D2 Turbo if you select

Open Only Mode. This will prevent the gate from closing on people, pets or vehicles. (page 11)

PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 9) can be used with Open

Only Mode.

Reversing Mode offers slightly more security than Standard Mode as it allows you to close your gate quickly by pressing, for instance, your remote control just as you drive through the gate to prevent children or pets running out - or anybody getting in behind you.

When pressing the button of the remote control or the gate pushbutton on the intercom, your gate will be set in motion. If you press the button again, the gate will move in the opposite direction.

So, if the gate is opening and you press the button, the gate will stop and immediately start to close (and vice versa).

Autoclose (page 7) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 9) can be used with Reversing Mode.

To configure any of the operating modes please refer to the section,

‘Customising the Functions and Settings’ on page 24.

page 6

3.1.3. Automatic closing (Autoclose Mode)

The D2 Turbo has the facility to automatically close the gate after it has opened (Autoclose Mode). The time that the gate stays open is by default fifteen seconds, but this time period can be set to be five, ten, fifteen, thirty, or forty-five seconds.

As described in the previous section, Autoclose Mode is selectable with

Standard Mode (page 5) and Reversing Mode (page 6) - by default the function is Off. However, Autoclose is automatically enabled in Open

Only Mode.

CENTURION highly recommends that if you select Autoclose

Mode in order to prevent the gate from closing on people, pets or vehicles, a pair of safety beams are installed across the gate entrance and connected to the Closing Safety Beam input on the D2 Turbo.

Autoclose Mode can be overridden in Standard and

Reversing Modes by pressing and holding the button of the remote control or intercom gate release for no less than three seconds. The gate response will be to start opening and then to stop as soon as the Autoclose

Override feature is activated.

On releasing the button, the gate will continue opening until fully open.

Your gate will stay open until you use the remote control or intercom gate release to close the gate. The D2 Turbo will then revert to normal Autoclose operation.

The Autoclose function cannot be overridden in Only

Open Mode.

To enable/disable the Autoclose function and/or change the

Autoclose time, please refer to the section, 'Customising the

Functions and Settings' on page

22.

Features and functions

Features and functions

3.1.4. Pedestrian Opening

The Pedestrian Opening input opens the gate just wide enough for a pedestrian to pass through the opening.

A second button on your remote control can be used to operate the Pedestrian Opening function.

You can also connect a keyswitch or keypad mounted adjacent the gate entrance to operate this function.

FIGURE 7

There is a default two second delay before the gate opens.

This is to warn the pedestrian that the gate is about to move.

FIGURE 8

It will also give the person enough time to move their hand away if they are reaching through the gate to operate a keyswitch or a keypad*. If the Courtesy Light* (page 13) is connected to the D2 Turbo's control card, it will flash indicating that the gate will open approximately one metre. The gate will close after a default time of five seconds.

The gate can be kept open by keeping a trigger on the input (keeping your key in the keyswitch, for example) – once removed the gate will close after the fixed five seconds.

If a Closing Safety Beam (page 12) is fitted and the beam is broken while the gate is closing, the gate will stop and open to the Pedestrian

Opening position. The gate will remain open while the beam is broken and the five second (fixed) Autoclose Delay will only commence once the beam has been cleared.

* For safety reasons it is recommended that all pedestrian keyswitches and keypads are installed on the opposite end of the gate to where the operator is installed. page 8

3.1.5. PIRAC Mode (Beam Autoclose Mode) - optional

This mode can only be used if a Closing Safety Beam (page

12) is fitted.

This mode can be used in conjunction with any of the Operating Modes -

Standard, Open Only and Reversing Modes.

Gate opening

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.

Features and functions

FIGURE 9

If Autoclose Mode is enabled and the gate has been opened but nothing moves through the

Closing Safety Beam, the gate will stay fully open for the duration of the Autoclose timer before closing. However, if something passes through the closing beam the gate will close immediately.

Beam broken

FIGURE 10

If something crosses the beams while the gate is opening, the gate will continue to open until the beam is cleared. Once the beam is cleared, the gate will stop and close. If the gate has reached its fully open position, it will stop and remain open until the beam has been cleared.

To enable/disable PIRAC Mode, please refer to the section, 'Customising the functions and settings' on page 26.

page 9

Features and functions

3.1.6. Holiday Lockout Mode

This feature completely immobilises the operator and deactivates all inputs so nobody can get into your property while you are away.

One of the buttons on your remote control can be used to switch the

Holiday Lockout function as well as a latching keyswitch or keypad mounted adjacent the gate entrance, accessible from the outside of the property.

When Holiday Lockout is enabled, any of the access control devices that are connected to the D2 Turbo will be rendered inactive. Not even tampering with the keyswitch or keypad on the outside of the property will open the gate – this is particularly useful if you intend leaving your property unattended for extended periods of time.

FIGURE 12

If Holiday Lockout is enabled while the gate is moving or in the open position, it will only activate once the gate is back in the closed position.

If somebody tries to open the gate via a valid remote control, keypad code, etc. and Holiday Lockout is enabled, the onboard buzzer will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds to confirm that the gate has been disabled using this feature.

To enable / disable the Holiday Lockout Mode feature, please refer to the section, 'Customising the functions and settings' on page 19.

3.1.7. Positive Close Mode

Positive Close Mode is intended for applications where the gate must close fully against the gate end post for security reasons – such as ensuring proper contact of a switch on the gate that feeds power to an electric fence.

This feature operates only during the last few millimetres when the gate closes.

It is recommended that a rubber strip be fixed to the front edge of the gate to reduce the noise when the gate closes against the end post.

To enable / disable the Positive Close Mode feature, please refer to the section, 'Customising the functions and settings' on page 28.

page 10

3.1.8. Speed Profiles

There’s no substitute for speed!

The D2 Turbo can be set to run on either a High Speed Mode (default) which is approximately 24 metres per minute, or a Low Speed Mode which is approximately 16 metres per minute.

High speeds offer a greater level of convenience and security, while slower speeds ensure increased levels of safety at the gate.

To change the Speed Profile, please refer to the section, 'Customising the Functions and Settings' on page 29.

3.1.9. Anti-crushing Sensitivity

The D2 Turbo incorporates a sensitive electronic anti-crushing technology that responds in the events that a person or vehicle obstructs your gate.

Using this technology, the typical response for an opening gate is to immediately stop and retract a short distance, while a closing gate will stop and fully re-open.

Collision Sensing can be set to either High Sensitivity or Low

Sensitivity. Generally High

Sensitivity should be used, but in instances where the gate runs very poorly Low Sensitivity can be selected.

FIGURE 13

A counter monitors the number of collisions the gate experiences before it fully closes. If the number exceeds the default value of four, the gate will stop. The Status LED (page 14) will flash four times every second until a remote control or intercom gate release pushbutton is pressed.

Please refer to Gate Status Indication (page 14) for more information on this diagnostic device.

To change the Sensitivity setting, please refer to the section,

'Customising the Functions and Settings' on page 30.

3.1.10. Safety Beams

(optional, but recommended feature)

It is always recommended to connect additional safety mechanisms to the D2 Turbo instead of relying only on the inherent anti-crushing protection, referred to above.

Features and functions page 11

Features and functions

The typical device is a pair of Infrared Safety Beams which can detect the presence of any vehicle, person or pet that breaks the beam and communicates back to the D2 Turbo that something is in the path of the gate.

Another option is an Inductive Loop Detector, which is mounted in the ground, adjacent to the gate, which is very effective at detecting vehicles or the like, but not persons or pets.

Beams

Closing Safety Beams provide additional protection against your gate closing on people or vehicles. If the beam is broken while the gate is opening, the gate will continue to open. If the gate is open, the gate cannot be closed if the beam is broken, and if the gate is closing when the beam is broken, it will stop and reopen.

FIGURE 14

If you select the Autoclose (page 7) feature, the gate will remain open if the beam is broken and it will only close after the set

Autoclose time has expired when the beam has cleared.

Please contact CENTURION for more information on suitable protection devices.

Beams

These beams prevent your gate from opening if an object, person or pet is in the way.

If the beam is broken while the gate is closed, the gate will not open. If the gate is opening and the beams are broken, it will stop then close. If the gate is closing while the beams are broken, it will continue to close.

FIGURE 15 page 12

3.1.11. Courtesy (Pillar) Light Timer

(optional feature)

Courtesy (Pillar) Lights can be connected through the D2

Turbo controller if an adequate* 220V power supply is available at the gate. The lights will switch on every time the gate is given a signal to operate

(the trigger could be a remote control button, or the gate pushbutton on an intercom.

The lights will stay on for a fixed period of two minutes, then automatically turn off.

FIGURE 16

The purpose is to bathe your entrance with light when you open the gates and increase your security as you drive into your property – it also saves electricity as the lights only come on when you use the gate motor.

Using the Pedestrian Opening feature will cause the Courtesy (Pillar)

Lights to flash three times before the gate opens.

*The cabling that supplies the 220V supply to the D2 Turbo must be suitably sized to carry the additional load of the courtesy (pillar) lights.

These modes replace the standard Courtesy Light feature

Modes

Depending on your requirements or local regulations, your gate automation system can provide for two different safety Pre-flashing Modes which will activate the gate’s pillar lights if fitted and connected to the

D2 Turbo controller.

FIGURE 17

With Pre-flashing Mode A activated, the pillar light relay will only activate during gate movement.

With Pre-flashing Mode C activated, the pillar light relay will activate for two seconds before gate movement occurs, as well as during gate movement. This means that gate movement will be delayed for page 13

Features and functions

Features and functions a period of two seconds after a trigger signal has been received.

To change the Courtesy (Pillar) to one of the Pre-flashing Modes, please refer to the section, 'Customising the functions and settings' on page 27.

3.1.12. External Gate Status Indication LED

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.

The different signals of the LED are described below:

FIGURE 18

Off

On

Continuous slow flash

Continuous fast flash

Gate is closed

Gate is partially or fully open

Gate is opening

Gate is closing

Two flashes every two seconds No mains present

Three flashes every two seconds Battery voltage is low

Four flashes every two seconds Multiple collisions have occurred

If you choose not to fit a Gate Status Indicator, the Status LED on the controller can also be used for trouble-shooting.

3.1.13. Battery Low Protection

The D2 Turbo’s controller has circuitry that monitors the state of the battery. During a power failure, energy is drawn from the battery but not replaced.

To protect the battery from being quickly damaged, the protection circuitry prevents the motors from being run off the battery when the battery voltage drops below 10.6 volts.

Indication that the Battery Low Protection has been triggered is provided by the onboard buzzer and status LED on the controller (and intercom if so equipped and connected to the controller). The LED will flash three times every two seconds, as will the buzzer beep three times every two seconds.

The gate system will also shut off until such time as the battery has recharged to an acceptable level.

Consult your gate automation specialist or Centurion Systems if you discover that your Battery Low Protection signal continues to re-occur.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication". ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

The D2 Turbo controller makes ordinarily complex settings as quick and easy as possible. Using the Function and Setting Dials, the

Select/Toggle Pushbutton , and the bi-colour (red and green)

Status LED you can set up the many features and functions in a flash.

FIGURE 16

Then move the Setting Dial to the preferred setting.

FIGURE 17 page 15

If a setting is for a single fixed value, for example, 15 second

Autoclose time, then the Select

Pushbutton acts as a select for that single choice.

However, if the setting has two options, for example On/Off or

Hi/Lo, then the Pushbutton acts as a Toggle between the two preferences.

Customising the features and functions

When using the Select

Pushbutton to toggle between preferences the Status LED will light up as green to indicate On or High; or alternatively red to indicate Off or Low.

The Function Dial must always be returned to the Run position (rotated fully counter-clockwise) after you have finished setting up any of the features, modes or profiles.

This ensures that it will be ready for use.

Examples:

A. Setting up the gate Limits

This is usually performed by an installer at the end of the installation.

However, should you need to change these settings, you can do this by simply following these steps:

Step 1: Ensure the gate is in the fully closed position and the motor drive is engaged.

Step 2: Rotate the Function Dial to the LIMITS position (A).

Step 3: Rotate the Setting Dial to the SETUP position along the

‘A’ row of options.

B. Remote control administration

The D2 Turbo controller incorporates an onboard multichannel receiver compatible with NOVA secure rolling code will allow any combination of the different inputs - Trigger (Gate fully open), Pedestrian, Holiday

Lockout, etc. to be operated from a single multi-button remote control.

You can also artificially increase the number of buttons by using a two button combination. One of the buttons is used as a shift button to allow the other buttons to be used again in combination with this button. Press and hold the allocated shift button and then press one of the other buttons to create a new button.

The shift button cannot be used as a button on its own - it must always be used in combination with another button.

Use of the shift button principle allows a three button transmitter to gain an extra button and operate four functions and a four button transmitter gains two extra buttons and can operate six functions. This is quite handy if you’d like to control additional devices from a single multi-button remote control, for example your garage doors if they are equipped with CENTURION

NOVA rolling code receivers

However, it’s important to note that the other devices cannot be activated with the new shift button, only the D2 Turbo (and other CENTURION operators that are equipped with an onboard receiver) is able to recognise the shift button signals. Using the shift key principle also prevents you from enabling functions like

Holiday Lockout Mode by accident. This is because you have to use both hands to press the two button combination.

At any stage remote controls can be selectively added or deleted within the system. To selectively delete a remote control, the remote control must be available, please refer to the section, 'Deleting specific remote controls' on page 20.

5. Additional features

5.1. 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 flatten the battery, however, at a much slower rate.

An optional low cut-out switch

(product code CP107) totally disconnects the battery and protects it from being fully discharged and potentially damaged.

Consult your gate automation specialist or Centurion Systems for further details.

5.2. Solar power supply

A solar panel can be used to charge the battery instead of the conventional charging circuit. A 20 Watt panel will provide enough power for 20 daily operations (less if 12V DC security lights are fitted) of an average gate.

Additional features

FIGURE 69 page 31

6. 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 to system before

cleaning or working on the equipment.

General

Basic maintenance

Servicing freely on its rail and does not catch or foul against the walls or pillars are not worn. In high-volume applications it will be necessary to replace these components regularly not press down onto the operator pinion at any point along its travel if necessary

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.

Battery Low – Buzzer will emit three beeps every two seconds for 30 seconds. Refer to section, 'Battery Low’

Multiple Collisions – Buzzer will beep periodically until condition is cleared. Refer to section, ‘Anti-crushing, collision count’

Holiday Lockout Mode – If Holiday Lockout Mode has been enabled, when triggering to operate the gate, the gate will not operate but the buzzer will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds

Mains Failure – If the mains supply to the charger has failed the buzzer will emit two beeps every two seconds for 30 seconds

Safety Beams Broken – if something in the path of the beams the buzzer will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds

Safety Beams Failure – if the safety beams are not operating the buzzer will emit three beeps each time the gate is triggered

Contact your gate automation specialist or Centurion Systems for further assistance.
