Main Features
D3, D5, A5
A key feature of these products is the chassis/gearbox which is moulded from a high
tech engineering polymer. The user benefits from this material in terms of its aesthetics, and corrosion free properties. Due to the self locking action of the internal
gearset, the unit is resistant to forced entry.
An optional theft resistant cage is available to give additional peace of mind.
A revolutionary aspect of the CENTURION range of operators is the limit switch
mechanism. Mounted internally, and therefore tamper proof, the limit switch monitors
the speed and location of the gate, ensuring reliable and safe anti-crushing protection and accurate position control.
Precise control of the gate stopping position is achieved by a high resolution encoder
wheel and opto-electronic sensor built into the unit.
The electronic controller has many advanced features including variable sensitivity
collision detection, adjustable delay autoclose, pedestrian opening, etc. Advanced
lightning protection is built into the controller as standard. On D3/D5 domestic

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.
The FAAC 844 models employ an inductive proximity limit switch, which has no
moving parts, thereby improving reliability. Electronic controllers are integral with all
844 models except the 844 three-phase model, in which case the electronics are
housed in a separate wall mounted enclosure.
The gates can be opened or closed in the following way:
RADIO TRANSMITTER
A handheld radio transmitter, carried in the motor car, sends a coded signal to the
receiver mounted in the control enclosure to open or close the gate.
-Press once for approximately 1 second to initiate gate motion.
If the transmitter is pressed while the gate is either opening or closing the gate will
immediately stop. Pressing the button again will cause the gate to reverse.
If the automatic closing feature (see Controller Features and Functions) has been
selected and the gate is closing automatically when the transmitter is pressed, the
gate will stop and stay in that position. Pressing the button again will cause the gate to
reopen. If the gate is opening with the automatic closing facility selected, and the
transmitter is then pressed, the gate will stop. The gate will close automatically after
the auto-close delay time.
INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON:
Most automatic gate installations are fitted with an intercom which provides for
communication between the house and the gate. The intercom handset is usually
