11. D10/D10 Turbo operator installation
Ensure that all the standard considerations for a quality
gate installation are adhered to as detailed in
CENTSYS' detailed installation manuals.
These must include:
Correct access in and out of the premises
Endstops are mandatory and must be capable of stopping the
gate at rated speed
Guide-rollers and anti-lift brackets are correctly fitted
The gate mass, starting- and rated-pull-force limitations are not
exceeded
The D10/D10 Turbo is positioned correctly and does not
protrude into the driveway

1. To ensure operator does not
protrude into driveway, install
base plate at least flush with
the driveway entrance.
2. Determine a suitable position
and vertical height for the
operator by considering

Foundation plate installation
The foundation plate can either be set into a concrete foundation, or
bolted down onto an existing concrete plinth, refer to illustrations
below.
Option 1:
New concrete foundation
When using a concrete foundation
it is recommended that the
foundation plate is welded to the
rail/track of the gate using a short
M10 Cable conduits
gearbox
length of flat bar as shown in the
mounting
illustration. This makes it possible bolts Gate rail
to complete the whole mechanical
and electrical installation without
having to wait for the concrete to
set. After completing the
installation the concrete can be
poured and the operator left in
manual mode until the concrete
has set.

• Ensure that the M10 gearbox mounting bolts are properly
tightened
• Cable conduits must be installed before pouring the concrete

If bolting onto an existing
concrete plinth, place the
foundation plate down in the
correct position and use the plate
as a template for marking the
rawl bolt holes.
Ensure that the M10
gearbox mounting bolts
are properly tightened

3. Make sure that all cables
protrude at least 500mm
from the cable termination
flange.
If bolting the foundation
plate, the left-hand
concrete anchor may need
to be broken off in order to
clear incoming conduits
M8 captive nuts
Make sure that the M10
bolts, which secure the
gearbox, are in place
1. Insert M8 captive nuts for the
jacking screws as shown.
2. Screw the M8 grub screw
jacking screws into the
captive nuts.

3. Adjust jacking screws to give
4-6 mm chassis foundation

A 4mm Allen key with
"ball end" is handy

Mount the rack
The rack must be securely
3mm
mounted to the side of the
tooth gap
gate. It must be parallel
with the gate rail, and
there must be a 2 - 3mm
gap between the teeth of
the pinion and the rack,
along the entire travel of
the gate
Steel rack
±300mm
1. Fix rack using the steel angle
brackets provided.
2. Brackets must be spaced no
more than 300mm apart.
3. When joining different
lengths of steel rack, a
simple way of ensuring
correct pitch spacing, is to
clamp a small off-cut
between the two pieces.

1. Use at least three TEK screws per half metre section of rack.
Fit additional fixing screw through the horizontal slots to secure
the rack to the gate directly above the pinion when the gate is
in the closed, pedestrian and open positions

10. It is preferable to use self-
tapping fasteners to secure
the bracket into the side of
the nylon rack as shown.
11. Make a small tack weld to
secure the back of the

possible
It is possible to make the distance between the marker and the
sensor much greater than 500mm. However, if using the
pedestrian opening facility, although the position of the marker
will not affect the width of the pedestrian opening, it is
preferable to have the marker mounted inside of the pedestrian
opening point
Apply warning decal/signage
Apply the supplied Warning! decals/signage to the gate
12. Basic maintenance
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.
Isolate mains supply as well as disconnecting the
battery before cleaning or working on the equipment.
General
Keep the track clear of stones, dirt and obstructions
Ensure that all rollers run freely
Put the operator into Manual Mode and check that the gate runs
freely on its rail and does not catch or foul against the walls or
pillars
Ensure that the gate wheels and guide-rollers are rotating freely
and are not worn. In high-volume applications it will be necessary
to replace these components regularly
Ensure that the rack is properly secured to the gate and that it
does not press down onto the operator pinion at any point along
its travel
Keep shrubs and vegetation clear of the motor and rack
Check that the key still operates the camlock - spray with
lubrication if necessary
Keep the inside of the motor housing clear of insects and dust
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 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, 27.6V for the D10
and D10 Turbo. Each charger has a red light (LED) to indicate mains
supply.
Gearbox Oil Level
Check the oil level as described in section 8 of this document or refer
to the online manuals on our website, (www.centsys.com.au).
Alternatively, please contact your CENTSYS installer for assistance.
13. Installation handover
Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is
important for the installer to explain the operation and safety
requirements of the system.
NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE
AN AUTOMATED GATE!
Even if the user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how
to SAFELY operate it. Make sure that the user fully understands the
following safety requirements before finally handing over the site.
The following needs to be understood by the user:
How to operate the manual release mechanism.
(Show them how by demonstration)
How the obstruction detection and all other safety features work.
(Show them how by demonstration)
All the features and benefits of the operator, i.e. safety beams,
Chronoguard, etc.
All the safety considerations associated with operating an
automated gate. The user should be able to pass this
knowledge on to all other users of the automated system
and must be made aware of this responsibility.
Do not activate the gate operator unless
you can see it and can determine that its
area of travel is clear of people, pets, or
other obstructions
NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A
MOVING GATE. Always keep people and objects away
from the gate and its area of travel
NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE
GATE CONTROLS, and do not allow children or pets near
the gate area
Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity
to areas where fingers or hands could be pinched
Secure all easily accessed gate operator controls in
order to prevent unauthorized use of the gate
Keep the automated gate system properly maintained,
and ensure that all working areas are free of debris and
other objects that could affect the gate operation and
safety
On a monthly basis, check the obstruction detection
system and safety devices for correct operation
All repair and service work to this product must be done
by a suitably qualified person
