Automatic Alignment; Automatic Closing; Auto-Close Override - Centurion D3 User Manual

(For CENTURION models only). If the gate is obstructed repeatedly 4 times,
either opening or closing, often referred to as multiple collision, the gate will stop
and will not respond to trigger inputs for 2 minutes.
After this time the gate will once again respond to command signals. This function is a
warning to the user that the obstruction must be removed. (The number of obstruc-
tions before the system will shutdown can be adjusted to suit, default is 4).
The FAAC units do not reverse on striking an object when in the closing mode. For
both opening and closing modes, the mechanical clutch will start slipping and if no
operator input is provided, the motor will automatically cutout after 1 minute.

AUTOMATIC ALIGNMENT

CENTURION and FAAC operators are fitted with a manual override mechanism. This
is to allow the gate to be operated in the event of a total malfunction of the equipment.
It is also required if the mains power has failed in the case of the 220V operators ( A10
and FAAC models).
In the case of the CENTURION operators (D3, D5, A10) when a command signal is
given after the gate has been moved manually and then re-engaged, the gate will
drive to either it's fully open, or closed, position. Referred to as automatic alignment,
the gate can only be stopped, but not reversed until the alignment cycle is complete.
The system will then revert to normal operation.
The FAAC units do not have automatic alignment.
AUTOMATIC CLOSING (OPTIONAL)
The system has the facility to automatically close the gate after it has been opened.
The default setting is that this facility is disabled. The time that the gate remains open
can be adjusted up to 4 minutes where the default is 15 seconds.

AUTO-CLOSE OVERRIDE

The auto-close function can be temporarily overridden by holding down the remote
control pushbutton or intercom gate release when opening the gate, until the gate
stops. (Default setting is 3 seconds. It can be changed to suit) This confirms that the
auto-close has been overridden. On releasing the button the gate will continue to
open fully, and remain open as long as required. Closing the gate by using either the
transmitter or intercom gate release button resets the system back to auto-close.
