2. General Description
The D10 is a heavy duty sliding gate operator designed to open and close industrial sliding
gates weighing up to 1000Kg.
The D10 Turbo is perfectly suited for sites with lighter gates requiring a high number of
operations per day, and can reach almost double the speed of the standard D10. However, it
is not recommended for gates weighing more than 240kg, as the inertia generated by
heavier loads might prove detrimental to the gearbox at such high speeds.
A die cast aluminium gearbox, coupled to a powerful 24V DC motor and switch-mode
charger, make the D10/D10 Turbo the automatic choice for townhouse complexes and office
parks. Gate travel limits are managed by an opto-electronic system, comprising a
gate-mounted origin magnet and an internal rotary encoder. This system yields precise and
repeatable control over gate position. The gearbox of the D10 Turbo utilises a “true” or “full
involute” gear instead of a helical gear, which means that there is a larger contact area with
the worm shaft, ensuring much greater load bearing capabilities. The standard D10 uses a
34 tooth internal gear and a 17 tooth output pinion, whereas the D10 Turbo uses a 22 tooth
internal gear and a 20 tooth output pinion.
Advanced features of the D10/D10 Turbo logic controller include:
Interactive graphical user interface via a backlit LCD display
Automated setup of gate endpoints (limits)
Fail-safe collision detection and auto reverse (adjustable sensitivity)
Smooth, adjustable start/stop (ramp-up/ramp-down)
Multiple operational modes
Selectable, adjustable Autoclosing
Pedestrian (partial) opening
Positive Close Mode
Independent safety inputs for opening and closing beams
Automatic beam test for both opening and closing beams
Advanced beam alarm functions
Advanced lightning/surge protection
Timed courtesy light output
Multiple pre-flashing modes
Independently adjustable motor speed in both opening and closing directions
Onboard CENTURION rolling code (Keeloq encryption) radio receiver with full channel
mapping capability (limited to 500 buttons)
Onboard ChronoGuard (patent pending) timer for timed activation of physical inputs or
outputs and time-barring of physical inputs or outputs and remote controls
TM
Lightning Protection
The 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. The earth return for the surge protection is provided via the mains power
supply earth.
page 6
In order to ensure that the surge protection is effective, it is essential that the unit
is properly earthed.
Theft Protection
While care has been taken in the design of the D10/D10 Turbo to prevent unauthorized
removal (theft) of the unit, an optional steel theft-resistant cage is also available for added
peace of mind.

7. Preparation of Site
General considerations for the installation
1. Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges
and safety beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical
risks
2. Since the D10 Turbo operates at exceptionally high speeds, it is mandatory to install
the following additional safety equipment in order to ensure the safest possible
installation:
a) Opening safety beams which will prevent the gate from moving should anyone be
in the path of the gate while OPENING. This provides an effective means of
safeguarding against dragging.
b) Closing safety beams which will prevent the gate from moving should anyone be
in the path of the gate while CLOSING. This is important to prevent being
crushed by the gate while in motion.
c) Passive Sensitive Edge to help absorb the kinetic energy of the gate in the event
of a collision, and provides additional time for the inherent electronic anti-crushing
technology of the operator to react.
3. The IRBOC option must be invoked so that the gate will immediately reverse
direction, in the event of a collision, regardless of whether it is in the opening or
closing cycle
4. Safety beams are installed on either side of the driveway, as shown in Figure 3
5. Sensitive edges are typically installed on all shearing edges of the gate, as shown in
Figure 3
Passive
Infrared

FIGURE 3. INFRARED BEAMS AND PASSIVE SENSITIVE EDGE
6. Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation
7. Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the
required open position
8. Check for loose sandy soil if installing foundations, as the soil condition may require
a larger foundation
page 12
sensitive
edge
Install the gate operator only if:
1. It will not pose a hazard to the public
2. There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
3. The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed
4. The gate mass, length and application is within the operator specifications
5. The gate is in good working order, meaning:
a) That it moves freely
b) Does not move on its own if left in any position
c) It can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when
opening and closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment
6. Pushbuttons or keyswitches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line of sight of the operator
Endstops
Fit endstops capable of stopping the gate at rated speed. Refer to specifications at the
beginning of this manual for the operating speed
Make H>h to ensure gate will not jump over endstop
Ø16mm
FIGURE 4. FITTING ENDSTOPS
WARNING!
Endstops are mandatory and must be fitted to prevent death
or accidental injury should the gate overrun its limits
page 13
EndstopEndstop
Guide-rollers and anti-lift brackets
1. Guide-rollers must ensure that the gate is held vertically
2. For improved safety, fit additional support post to prevent gate from falling over if
guide-rollers fail
3. To prevent unauthorised access fit anti-lift brackets as shown
4. The gap between the anti-lift bracket and the gate must be less than 5mm
Ensure that the gate cannot be lifted off the motor pinion with the anti-lift
bracket fitted

Starting and running forces
1. Test the starting force of the gate as per the diagram. Use a pull scale to determine
the maximum amount of pull force required to get the gate moving
2. Determine the running force of the gate by continuing to pull on the scale with just
sufficient force to keep it running and read off the maximum value in kgf shown on
the scale
3. Where possible determine the gate mass
4. The CENTURION warranty will be void if the pull force and or gate mass, exceed the
operator specification as below:
D10
Starting force - 40kgf
Running (rated) force - 30kgf
Maximum gate mass - 1000kg
D10 Turbo
Starting force – 20kgf
Running (rated) force – 15kgf
Maximum gate mass – 240kg

9. Lubrication
Do not attempt to run the operator without
first filling the gearbox with lubricant
The internal gearset of the D10/D10 Turbo is lubricated by means of an oil bath
In order to prevent possible leakage during shipping, the unit is shipped with no oil
inside the gearbox. A bottle containing 80ml of a special synthetic oil is included with
the product, and this must be introduced before operating the product. (Product
code: OIL80ML0X0/H)
It is more convenient to introduce oil before bolting the unit down, as shown in
Figure 9.
The D10/D10 Turbo does not require routine oil changes. However in the event
of the unit losing oil due to stripping down or mechanical damage, the correct
replacement oil is Castrol SAF X0 75W-90 synthetic final drive lubricant. If the
gearbox is bolted down in the horizontal position during filling, the correct level
is reached when oil begins to spill from the filler hole.
FIGURE 8. LUBRICATION
Step 1: Remove dipstick from gearbox
C ut the tip off the nozzle which will allow for the oil to pass through the Step 2:
nozzle;unscrew the oil bottle cap; remove the seal from beneath the oil
bottle cap;replace the oil bottle cap onto the bottle and, attach the
extension tube to the nozzle
Fill the gearbox with the oil providedStep 3:
Please ensure that you only use the following oil as qualified by CENTURION:
Castrol SAF-XO 75w-90 Synthetic Final Drive Lubricant.
CENTURION re-order code OIL80ML0X0/H.
page 17
10. Operator Installation
Locate operator position
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
Figures 9 and 10.
3. It is typical to mount the rack above the pinion as shown in Figures 9A and 10A for
each type of rack considered. However, in each case, Figures 8B and 9B shows the
rack mounted underneath.
If there is space to mount the rack underneath without fouling the ground as
the gate moves, the following are the pros and cons:
Pros
The rack is more hidden from view
It provides a very effective anti-lift bracket
It ensures that as the gate beds in, the rack does not drop onto the pinion
loading the operator unnecessarily
Cons
Rack teeth face up vertically potentially collecting dirt
Custom bracket
With careful selection of the rack configuration, and operator vertical height,
mounting of the rack could in some cases be greatly simplified.
If a theft-resistant cage is required, be sure to leave enough clearance from
pillars, etc.
