Centurion R3 is a reliable and versatile swing gate operator designed to automate residential and light industrial gates. It features a maintenance-free, lead-acid battery and a solar panel for backup power, ensuring uninterrupted operation even during power outages. The R3's independent motor drive units provide self-locking security, preventing forced entry. Advanced lightning protection circuitry ensures reliable operation in stormy conditions. With its automatic closing, pedestrian keyswitch, and adjustable security light timer, the R3 offers enhanced convenience and security.

system will operate normally.This is an added security feature should the property be unattended for an extended length of time.
Lightning Protection
The CP75 controller has on-board lightning protection. The protection circuitry is based on a design developed in conjunction with the CSIR. It is however important to realise that the controller's protection only functions correctly if an adequate lightning earth is fitted during installation. Lightning damage is not covered under the normal guarantee of the equipment.
ALTERNATIVE POWER SUPPLY
Solar Panel (Optional)
With the battery driven system, the battery may be charged using a solar panel in place of the conventional charging circuit. A 20 Watt panel will provide on average 10-12 daily operations of an average gate without causing the battery to discharge over a period of time. (The allowable number of operations will be reduced if 12V DC security lights are fitted). It is necessary to have at least a 35A/h deep cycle, low maintenance battery fitted, in order to provide sufficient back-up capacity during days of poor weather
Manual Release
All gate operators have a means of manually operating the gate in the event of a total malfunction of the equipment.
If one is locked outside the property, the padlocks connected to the clevis pin through the gate bracket can be unlocked. This will allow the clevis pin to be removed and the linkage arm to swing away from the gate. This will allow the gate to be opened sufficiently to allow a person to enter.
Once inside the property, to release either operator complete the following procedure:
NB: DO NOT OPEN THE COVERS WHEN EXPOSED TO DIRECT RAIN. ALWAYS SHIELD THE
UNIT WITH AN UMBRELLA.
Unlock the padlock securing the connecting arm.
Remove the clevis pin.

Swing the connecting arm to the side and open the gate.
To release the manual override, proceed as follows:
Unlock and remove the operator cover.
Lift the controller housing fitted to a MASTER motor.
This is not necessary when releasing a SLAVE motor.
Swing open the manual release dust cover.
Insert the allen key provided into the manual release mechanism and rotate it clockwise to release the gearbox (approximately 12 turns)

To re-engage the drive (disengage manual override):
Unscrew the allen key (counter-clockwise) until the top of the screw is flush with the top of the shaft.
Rotate the dust cover back into position.
Lower the controller housing into position (not necessary for a SLAVE motor)
Replace the operator cover and lock it in position.
