General Description

General Description
The D3 and D5 are sliding gate operators designed to open and close sliding gates.
The D3 operator is suited to domestic applications with gates of a mass less than 300kg.
The D5 operator is suited to domestic applications with gates of a mass less than 500kg.
In order to cater for high duty cycle installations, the D5 Light Industrial model is offered. The D5
Industrial model is similar to the Standard D5 model with the exception that it is rated for a higher duty
cycle . It is suitable for sites with a gate mass up to 500kg, but can operate with a 50% duty cycle.
Gate travel limits are managed by an opto-electronic system, comprising a gate mounted origin marker
and an internal rotary encoder. This system yields precise and repeatable control over gate position.
In cases where chain, (as opposed to toothed rack) drive is required, an optional chain drive kit is
available.
Advanced features of the CP80 logic controller include:-
Automated setup of gate endpoints (limits).
!
Fail safe collision detection and auto reverse (adjustable sensitivity).
!
Smoothed start/stop (ramp up/down).
!
Multiple operational modes.
!
Selectable, adjustable auto-closing.
!
Pedestrian (partial) opening.
!
Positive Close Mode.
!
Safety input for sensitive edge/safety beam/inductive loop.
!
Advanced lightning/surge protection.
!
Timed courtesy light output.
!
Multiple preflashing modes.

Lightning Protection
The D5 electronic controller utilizes the same proven surge protection philosophy that is used in all
Centurion products. While this does not guarantee that the unit will not be damaged in the event of a
lightning strike or power surge, it greatly reduces the likelihood of such damage occurring. The earth
return for the surge protection is provided via the mains power supply earth. In order to ensure that the
surge protection is effective, it is essential that the unit is properly earthed.
