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 CENTSYS 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:
 How to operate the Manual Release thumbwheel
 How the Obstruction Detection System and all other safety features work
 All the safety considerations that come with operating an automated gate
– 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 CENTSYS operator should last you a very long time.
9. Ensure that any technician that works on your operator has been trained
by CENTSYS.
10. This product was designed and built strictly for the use indicated in this

11. Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd does not accept any liability caused by
