  • Page 5: General Description

    The Vector 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.

  • Page 16: General Considerations For The Installation

    Install the gate operator only if: It will not pose a hazard to the public. There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares. The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once completed. The gate mass, length and application is within the operator specifications (see page 8). The wind loading specifications are not exceeded (see page 42).

  • Page 19: Determine The Gate Bracket Position

    4. Secure the bracket to the wall with the most appropriate means. It is critical that the wall bracket is securely mounted. See page 14 for site considerations. Determine the gate bracket position Start with the operator fully retracted. Turn out the actuator tube one or two turns. 5.
  • Page 20 Unlock the operator and swing the gate closed. 9. Remove the pin and the operator from the bracket, check that there are at least one or two turns of the actuator before it is fully extended. If it becomes obvious that the operator does not have enough stroke, reduce either the A or B distances by moving the wall bracket.

    12. Fit operator, gate bracket pins and snap rings As an alternative to the snap ring, fit a padlock. Adjust origin clamp (NB - Not required for outward swinging gates) 13.Unlock the operator and open the gate fully. 14. Slide the origin clamp along the actuator tube, right up to the operator.
