    The VECTOR2 control card has been designed to be easy and intuitive to use with helpful instructions on the status of the operation during and after the installation. It also has a built-in diagnostic procedure that can verify every aspect of the control card on site.

  • Page 11: Lightning Protection

    The VECTOR2 electronic controller utilises 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.
