Basic Maintenance - Centsys D5-Evo User Manual

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.
General
Basic
maintenance
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.
Charger
The D5-Evo, D10 and D10 Turbo operators have chargers 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 and
27.6V for the D10 and D10 Turbo. Each charger has a red light (LED)
to indicate mains supply.
Gearbox Oil Level
Gearbox Oil Level Check the oil level as described in the Lubrication
section of the Installation Manual. Should the installation manual be
unavailable, please refer to the online manuals on our website,
www.centsys.co.za. Alternatively, please contact your Centurion
Systems (Pty) Ltd installer for assistance.
