Centurion D3 User Manual page 8

models a 12V battery is the primary power source thus providing a limited number of
operations in the event of a mains power failure. This battery is normally charged by
an internal 220V* charger. For sites where a 220V mains supply is unavailable, an
external 220-12V adaptor, or solar panel is optional (see SOLAR PANEL, Page 17 for
more details about solar charging)
In multi user applications the D5 operator is available with a transformer rectifier unit
(power-pack) which replaces the battery and charger. The power-pack operates
directly off a 220V* mains supply only. Battery back-up is available by simply adding
an externally mounted battery.
*Alternative voltage ratings are available on request
A10
Engineered for industrial and high duty sites, the A10 is built around a precision
machined, die cast aluminium chassis/gearbox incorporating a self locking gearset.
Accordingly the unit is resistant to forced entry.
The integral electronic controller has similar functions to those of the D3/D5 and uses
the same technology in terms of origin & encoder signal inputs. Unique to the A10 is
the high speed mode, enabling adjustable opening/closing speeds up to 30m/min.
The key to the A10's outstanding torque and duty cycle lies in the 3-phase induction
motor and electronic inverter that form the heart of the system. Single-phase 220V
AC power is converted into variable frequency 3-phase power, allowing electronically
controlled soft starting and stopping of the motor.
An optional DC converter is available, containing 12V batteries and UPS type backup
circuits. This enables the A10 to continue operating for a limited period in the event of
a power failure. Another option is the anti theft cage, to give additional peace of mind.
"Endurance" & "Heavyweight" derivatives of the A10 are available to suit high duty,
and high gate mass sites respectively.
FAAC
All FAAC models feature die cast aluminium gearboxes enclosing a self locking
gearset.
