SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction The R6 rotary swing gate system is designed to open and close swing gates. The CP77 controller is capable of handling both single and double swing gates and offers many features to suit almost any application. The unit employs a battery-driven DC motor for low-duty domestic applications, which provides automatic backup protection in the event of a power failure. The unit can also be fitted with a high-duty power supply in addition to the battery to allow for more frequent operation of the gate.
• Make sure that an earth leakage circuit breaker with a threshold of 30mA is fitted upstream of the system • Never short-circuit the battery and do not attempt to recharge the batteries with power supply units other than that supplied with the product, or manufactured by Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd page 6 www.centsys.com...
Always check the obstruction detection system, and safety devices for correct operation • Neither Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd, nor its subsidiaries, accepts any liability caused by improper use of the product, or for use other than that for which the automated system was intended •...

SECTION 5 NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION 5. New Site Installation Preparation 5.1. General Considerations for the Installation It is always recommended to fit additional safety equipment such as safety edges and safety beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical risks. Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation. Check that enough space is available for the gate operator.

SECTION 6 OPERATOR INSTALLATION 6.2. Mounting the Control Box CONTROL BOX 1. Remove chassis plate. 2. Mount enclosure to wall. 3. Drill cable entry holes. 4. Replace chassis plate and wire equipment. 5. Use cable glands to protect the cables passing through the box. Control Box preferably mounted at eye level.
SECTION 6 OPERATOR INSTALLATION Step 2 Swing the gate to the desired opening position (70 - 120 degrees) and make the second mark “S2” on the ground. Step 3 Measure the distance “Z”, between “S1” & “S2” in mm, then using “Z”, look up gate opening Angle and dimension C for size of Drive Arm supplied (see Table 5).

SECTION 8 COMMISSIONING 8. Commissioning 8.1. Control Card Setup • Identify status LED which will give information on gate status (e.g. whether gate should be open or closed) • Select dipswitch settings to give required mode of operation (CP77 only) • Select “autoclose” if required (e.g. using sw1 on CP77) • Set autoclose timer potentiometers to minimum initially and adjust time to suit after commissioning •...
FIGURE 54 For maximum security when using an R6 Swing operator, the Drive Arm and Connecting Arm must be collinear (in a straight line) when the gate is in the closed position with the Connecting Arm attached to the gate. To ensure that this condition is met, the position of the Drive Arm will need to be rotated by connecting the motor directly to a battery.

SECTION 8 COMMISSIONING 8.4. Collision Sensing Adjustment Adjust the settings on the control card such that the gate(s) will open and close reliabily, but not cause damage to persons or objects in the path of the gate. Note the difference during closing (Figure 58) and opening (Figure 59) directions.
