ATTENTION
To ensure the safety of people, it is important that you read all
the following instructions. Incorrect installation or incorrect
use of the product could cause serious harm to people and/or
property.
The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last
person on the site who can ensure that the operator is safely
installed, and that the whole system can be operated safely.
This Safety Instruction Sheet must be passed on to the enduser responsible for operating the system during the handover.
Warnings for the installer
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
BEGINNING TO INSTALL THE PRODUCT
1. All installation, repair, and service work to this product must be
done by a suitably qualified person.
2. Endstops capable of stopping the gate at rated speed are mandatory
and must be fitted to prevent the gate from overrunning its limits for
any reason. Failure to do this could result in the gate falling onto
persons and causing serious injury or death. Refer to
specifications of the operator to determine the operating speed.
3. Safety devices such as gate safety infrared beams must be fitted
to the installation to prevent the gate from moving should anything be
in the path of the gate. The mechanical movement of the gate presents
risks such as crushing, dragging and shearing.
4. A Passive Sensitive Edge high-density foam strip should be fitted
to all shearing edges of the gate installation. The Passive Sensitive
Edge helps absorb the kinetic energy of a moving gate in the event of a
collision, and provides additional time for the inherent electronic anticrushing technology of the operator to react.
5. It is recommended that at least one warning indicator light be fitted
to every system.
6. Always fit the warning signs visibly to the inside and outside of the
gate.
7. Do not activate your gate operator unless you can see it and can
determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or other
obstructions.
8. If a pedestrian gate opening device, such as a keypad, has been fitted
it is recommended to always have a pre-opening delay activated
when operating the pedestrian opening. This will allow a pedestrian
sufficient time to ensure that he/she is well clear of the gate before it
begins to move. Pedestrian gate opening devices should always be
installed on the opposing end of the gate to where the operator is
located to ensure that the gate opens away from where the pedestrian
is standing.
9. NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. Always keep
people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel.
10. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
IMPORTANT Safety instructions

IMPORTANT Safety instructions
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
11. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the gate or operator.
12. Do not in any way modify the components of the automated system.
13. Do not install the equipment in an explosive atmosphere: the presence
of flammable gas or fumes is a serious source of danger and may
compromise safety.
14. Before attempting any work on the system, isolate electrical power
and disconnect the batteries.
15. The mains power supply of the automated system must be fitted with an
all-pole switch, mounted within one metre of the operator, with contact
opening distance of 3mm or greater. The use of a 5A thermal breaker
with all-pole circuit break is recommended.
16. Make sure that an earth leakage circuit breaker with a threshold of
30mA is fitted upstream of the system.
17. Never short circuit the battery and do not try to recharge the batteries
with power supply units other than that supplied with the product, or
supplied by Centurion Systems and specified for this system.
18. Make sure that the earthing system is correctly constructed, and that all
metal parts of the system are suitably earthed.
19. The installer must explain and demonstrate the manual
override operation of the gate in case of an emergency, and must
hand installation documentation, user guides and any Safety/Warning
documents provided with the operator over the end-user.
20. Explain these safety instructions to all persons authorised to use this
gate automation system, and be sure that they understand the hazards
associated with automated gates.
21. Do not leave packaging materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.)
within reach of children as such materials are potential sources of
danger.
22. Dispose of all waste products like packaging materials, worn out
batteries, etc, according to local regulations.
23. Always check the obstruction detection system, and/or safety
devices for correct operation prior to hand over. During the handover of the system, explain to the end-user how to perform these
checks to confirm that all safety devices are operating correctly.
24. Centurion Systems does not accept any liability caused by improper use
of the product, installation that does not conform to instructions as
detailed in the installation documentation, or for any use of the operator
other than that for which it was designed for.
25. This product was designed and built strictly for the use indicated in the
documentation provided with the product. Any other use, not expressly
indicated within the documentation, could be a source of danger and/or
compromise the service life/operation of the product and invalidate the
warranty.

Introduction
VECTOR2 overview
This User Guide contains all the information you need to configure and
operate your new VECTOR2 swing gate operator. From safety
instructions to basic principles of operation and an in-depth description
of your CENTURION product’s many features and functions. By the time
you have finished reading this guide you will have learnt how to make
the most out of your VECTOR2. Even basic maintenance is covered but,
in the unlikely event that your CENTURION product malfunctions, rather
leave it to the professionals and contact your installer or nearest
CENTURION Branch (contact details listed on the back page) for prompt
assistance.
The CENTURION VECTOR2 swing gate operator is powered by a 12V DC
motor using a maintenance-free, lead acid battery as the primary power
source. The battery is charged via a 220V mains supply or a solar panel.
The major benefit of this philosophy is uninterrupted operation of the
gates even in the event of a mains power failure.
Each leaf of a single or double swing gate installation requires its own
operator.
Two models are available, the V400 and the V500, which have
actuation strokes of 400 and 500 millimetres, respectively. The operator
with the longer stroke will run the gate more slowly, however, it will be
able to handle a gate which is wider and/or heavier. Refer to the
specification table on page 32 of this User Guide for more details about
the maximum size gate and wind loading that each model of operator
can reliably handle.
Each VECTOR2 operator consists of a high-torque DC motor extending
or retracting a piston through a planetary reduction gearbox. The piston
is linked to the gate via a gate bracket and release pin. The release pins
can be fitted with padlocks where additional security is required. The
operators make use of a centrifugal braking system which prevents the
gate(s) from being forced open.
Whether a single or double swing, each system must have an electronic
controller. This is housed along with the battery supply consisting of a
maintenance-free battery (7Ah) and charger, inside a weatherproof
enclosure mounted in close proximity to the gate. The electronic
controller, which coordinates the operations of the drive units, is further
protected by a fully sealed plastic enclosure. For added reliability the
controller is fitted with lightning protection circuitry.
The VECTOR2 operator uses an innovative internal position control
system with an external fixed reference origin, to track the movement
of the gate and accurately set the ‘open’ and ‘close’ positions. As a
result of this position control system, it is not necessary to fit gate
endstops.
The operator can be fitted to either inward or outward opening swing
gates. The operator is fitted with a manual override key-release.

2.1. Disengaging the
operator
Most gate operators have a
means of manually operating
the gate in the event of a total
malfunction of the equipment.
The VECTOR2 can be manually
released, by turning a
removable key through 180° in
the camlock mounted on the
main housing of the VECTOR2
operator.
Fit the key into the camlock
and rotate through 180°

FIGURE 4
Introduction
The VECTOR2 linear arm operator is controlled with the VECTOR2
controller (PCA10501Vx). The controller synchronizes the functions of the
gate operator.
The VECTOR2 controller is particularly user-friendly as it is fitted with a
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that provides useful information on the
status of the system.
Under normal running conditions the ‘User Display’ is shown on the LCD
display. (A ‘Debug Display’ can be invoked and is typically used by the
installer where abnormal operational problems occur)
3.1. Gate operation
3.1.1. Full gate opening
The CENTURION rolling code
TM
(Keeloq encryption) remote
controls that operate with the
onboard receivers of the
VECTOR2 swing gate operator
are used to operate the gate.
However, most automatic gate
installations are also fitted with
an intercom, which provides for
communication between the
house/building and the gate.
The handset is usually fitted
with a gate/door release
pushbutton which, when
pressed, will operate the gate.

3.1.2. Modes of Operation
To operate the gate to open fully, the VECTOR2 has a number of
operating modes to choose from depending on the application. Only one
mode can be selected at any given time.
Standard Mode (with selectable Autoclose feature)
Reversing Mode (with selectable Autoclose feature)
Condominium Mode (compulsory Autoclose)
Standard Mode, which allows full control of the gate, is most
commonly used in domestic applications.
An alternative is Reversing Mode which provides a greater level of
security as described below. Finally, Condominium Mode is designed
for multi-user, light-industrial applications such as townhouses, housing
estates and office parks.
3.1.2.1. Standard Mode
Standard Mode is the most commonly used mode for domestic
applications as it allows full control of the gate. Press the button of
the remote control or the gate / door release pushbutton on the
intercom for approximately one second to get the gate in motion. If
you press the button again while the gate is moving, the gate will
stop. Press the button for a third time and the gate will reverse.
Autoclose (page 8) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose)
(page 11) can be used with Standard Mode. An infrared
safety beam needs to be installed across the gate
entrance and connected to the Closing Safety Beam input
on the VECTOR2 to use this function, in order to prevent
the gate from closing on people, pets or vehicles.
(Page 16)
3.1.2.2. Reversing Mode
Reversing Mode offers slightly more security than Standard Mode
as it allows you to close your gate quickly by pressing, for
instance, your remote control just as you drive through the gate
to prevent children or pets running out - or anybody getting in
behind you.
When pressing the button of the remote control or the gate/door
release pushbutton on the intercom, your gate will be set in
motion. If you press the button again, the gate will move in the
opposite direction.
So, if the gate is opening and you press the button, the
gate will stop and immediately start to close (and vice
versa)
3.1.2.3. Condominium Mode
This mode is ideal for increased safety and security in multi-user
applications such as townhouses, estates, factories or office
parks.

Features
and
functions
If you select Condominium Mode, your gate will open when
pressing the button of the remote control or the gate/door release
pushbutton on the intercom – but pressing the button again while
the gate is opening will be ignored. It will not cause the gate to
stop or to reverse. Only the internal Autoclose described on page
11 of this User Guide, which is automatically enabled, will close the
gate. If the button of the remote control or intercom gate release is
pressed while the gate is closing, the gate will immediately reopen.
The gate cannot be stopped in a midway position and will therefore
always close. If the button is pressed while the gate is in the open
position, the Autoclose timer (page 8) is reset.
Page 13
page 9
3.1.3. Automatic closing (Autoclose Mode)
The VECTOR2 sliding gate operators have the facility to automatically
close the gate after it has opened. When enabling this feature, the time
that the gate stays open is by default 15 seconds (this time is
adjustable between one and 255 seconds).
As described in the previous section, Autoclose is selectable with
Standard and Reversing Modes (page 6) and by default the function is
off. However, Autoclose is automatically enabled in Condominium Mode.
CENTURION highly recommends that a safety beam is
installed across the gate entrance and connected to the
Closing Safety Beam input on the VECTOR2, if you enable
Autoclose Mode, in order to prevent the gate from closing on
people, pets or vehicles
It is possible to adjust the delay before the gate closes in
one second increments from zero seconds to four minutes.
The default time is five seconds
3.1.3.1. Autoclose Override
Automatic closing can be
overridden in Standard and
Reversing Modes by pressing and
holding the button of the remote
control or intercom gate release
for no less than three seconds.
The gate response will be to start
opening and then to stop as soon
as the Autoclose Override feature
is activated. On releasing the
button, the gate will continue
opening until fully open.
Your gate will stay open until you
use the remote control or
intercom gate release to close the
gate. The VECTOR2 will then
revert to normal Autoclose
operation.
The Autoclose function cannot be
overridden in Condominium Mode.
It is possible to adjust the
override time or the time
required to hold down the
button in order to override
Autoclose in one second
increments from one to ten
seconds. The default time is
three seconds

3.1.3.2. Autoclose advanced options
You can also independently set Autoclose to function when the gate is
partly open, fully open or partly closed.
For example, disable Autoclose when the gate is partly closed to allow
construction workers, gardeners, etc. access to your property
(although this comes with security risks). Enabling the Autoclose in all
states of gate movement, ensures that the gate can never be left in
any position other than fully closed. The default setting when
enabling Advanced Autoclose is partly open and fully open, but not
partly closed.
3.1.4. Pedestrian Opening
The Pedestrian Opening input
opens only one leaf of a double
leaf installation just wide enough
for a pedestrian to pass through
the opening. A second button on
your remote control can be used
to operate the Pedestrian Opening
function. You can also set a
keyswitch or keypad mounted
adjacent the gate entrance to
operate this function.
There is a default, but adjustable,
two second delay before the gate
opens to warn the pedestrian that
the gate is about to move as well
as give the person enough time to
move their hand away if they are
reaching through the gate to
operate a keyswitch or a keypad.
If the Courtesy Light (page 18) is
connected to the control card, it
will flash, indicating that the gate
will open a default distance of
approximately one metre
(adjustable). The gate will close
after a default time of five seconds
(adjustable).
The gate can be kept open by keeping a trigger on the input (keeping
your key in the keyswitch, for example) – once removed, the gate will
close after the default five seconds.
The Pedestrian Opening Input is fully configurable and can be set to suit
your needs. You can adjust the pre-opening time delay; the amount that
the gate opens; and the pedestrian autoclose delay using your LCD
controller. Refer to the notes on the next page.
If a Safety Beam (page 16) is fitted and the beam is broken while the
gate is closing, the gate will stop and open to the pedestrian position.
The gate will remain open while the beam is broken and the five second

(adjustable) Autoclose delay will only commence once the beam has
been cleared.
For safety reasons it is recommended that all pedestrian
keyswitches and keypads are installed on the opposite end of
the gate to where the operator is installed
3.1.5. Free-exit
Opening
The Free-exit Opening allows
visitors to exit townhouses,
estates, factories or office parks
easily.
An inductive ground loop is
mounted under the driveway
inside the property a short
distance away from the gate.
The output of the inductive
ground loop detector is
connected to the free-exit input
on the controller.
When a vehicle drives over the
loop, a detector senses the
metal in the vehicle and
activates the free-exit function
which opens the gate. The
ground loop cannot be activated
by a person or any non-metallic
objects and can be set to only
activate if it detects a large
amount of metal.
Free-exit never initiates a
closing cycle, so the Autoclose
function (page 8) must be
enabled in order for the gate to
close. If the gate is already open or opening, triggering the free-exit
input will have no effect other than to reset the Autoclose timer. If the
gate is closing, triggering the free-exit input will immediately stop and
re-open the gate.

3.1.6. PIRAC Mode (Beam Autoclose Mode) - optional
This mode can only be used if a Closing Safety Beam
(page 16) is fitted
This mode can be used in
conjunction with any of the
operating modes-Standard,
Condominium and Reversing
Mode.
With PIRAC Mode enabled, your
gate will close as soon as you
have driven through and passed
the safety beam – giving
intruders no time to follow behind
you.
If Autoclose is enabled and the
gate has been opened but
nothing moves through the
Closing Safety Beam, the gate
will stay fully open for the
duration of the Autoclose timer
before closing. However, if
something passes through the
Closing Safety Beam the gate will
close immediately.
If something crosses the beam
while the gate is opening, it will
continue to open until the beam
is cleared and the gate will then
stop and close. If the gate has
reached its fully open position, it
will stop and remain open until
the beam is cleared or the
Autoclose timer expires
whichever occurs first.

An infrared beam can be used instead of an inductive ground loop, but
the beam will be activated if a person (or any object) moves through it,
so this option is typically less secure.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on whether a ground
loop or infrared beam is better suited to your needs.
PIRAC Mode’s ‘stop on opening’ configuration will open the gate a short,
adjustable distance past the point at which the beam was broken and
stop, wait for the beam to be re-made or the Autoclose timer to expire,
then close.
Page 17
page 13
3.1.6.1 PIRAC Override
PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) Mode can be overridden in Standard and
Reversing Modes. Similar to overriding the Autoclose function you
must press and hold the button of the remote control or intercom
gate release for at least six seconds. The gate response will be to
start opening and then to stop for a pause time of three seconds
and then continue to open as soon as the PIRAC Override feature is
activated. Once the gate resumes opening you may release the
remote control button or intercom gate release and the gate will
continue to the fully open position with PIRAC Mode overridden.
Your gate will stay open until you use the remote control or
intercom gate release to close the gate. The VECTOR2 will then
revert to normal PIRAC operation.
3.1.7. Holiday Lockout Mode
This feature completely immobilises the operator and deactivates all
inputs so nobody can get into your property while you are away.
One of the buttons on your remote control can be used to switch the
Holiday Lockout Mode as well as a latching keyswitch or keypad
mounted adjacent the gate entrance, accessible from the outside of the
property.
When Holiday Lockout Mode is
enabled, any of the access
control devices that are
connected to the VECTOR2, will
be inactive and not even
tampering with the keyswitch,
keypad or access tag readers on
the outside of the property, will
open the gate – particularly
useful if you intend leaving your
property unattended for extended
periods of time.
If Holiday Lockout Mode is
enabled while the gate is moving
or in the open position, it will
only activate when the gate is
back in the closed position.

If somebody tries to open the gate via a valid access control
device, such as a remote control, etc. with Holiday Lockout

the gate has been disabled using this feature.
The Emergency Stop is typically used at a manned entrance so
that security is not compromised with a would-be intruder
possibly gaining access to the Emergency Stop button. In a
domestic situation you can set up one of your remote pushbuttons to operate the Emergency Stop without compromising
your security
3.1.8. Positive Close Mode
Positive Close Mode (PCM) allows the gate to drive up hard to an endstop
without causing the anti-crush mechanism to operate. This feature only
operates during the last few millimetres of piston travel when the gate is
closing. (See note on the next page)
This feature is used to firmly engage two leaves together of a double
swing gate installation without having to fit mechanical endstops. A
mechanical ‘lip’ is fitted to one leaf which will push up against the other
leaf, and with PCM it will keep pushing until the gates are mechanically
locked.
To ensure that the gates do not close past their desired end point, the
leaf against which the leaf with the mechanical lip pushes can be preset
to stop slightly short of its closed position. This is referred to as the
‘Short Stop’ distance. If the ‘Short Stop’ distance is correctly set, the
pushing leaf will engage with the other leaf sufficiently before the closed
position and via the PCM, push the two leaves into the fully closed
position, but not past.
Contact your gate automation specialist for assistance.
3.1.7.1. Emergency Stop
The Holiday Lockout function
can also be used as an
Emergency Stop function.
Mount an emergency stop
pushbutton in a weatherproof
housing near the gate and
you can bring your gate to an
immediate stop with just one
press. The emergency stop
button must be reset before
the gate can be operated
again.
Page 19
page 15
The Positive Close Mode feature can be enabled on one or
both leaves of a double swing gate installation in addition to
adjusting the amount of force applied by the operator
3.1.9. Operator Run Profiles
In order to set up the system for optimum performance a number of the
operating parameters can be adjusted via the controller.
The opening and closing speeds of the gate can be independently set
but common between the two leaves of a double swing gate installation.
The ramp-up to full speed and the ramp-down to the crawl speed before
the gate stops can also be adjusted. The distance that the gate moves
at its crawl speed before stopping can also be set.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on finding the
configuration that is best for you.

The VECTOR2 controller provides a 12V supply to drive either an
electric solenoid or magnetic lock. Both the lock pre-release time (time
before the gate starts to move) and the release time (time while the
gate is moving) can be adjusted in addition to being able to specify
whether the gate is locked in either the open or closed position or both.
Finally, the supply can be set to either AC or DC where with AC, the
controller will power the lock with a 50Hz square wave.
Contact your gate automation specialist for assistance.

3.3. Anti-crushing
Sensitivity
The VECTOR2 incorporates, a
sensitive electronic anticrushing technology that
activates if a person or vehicle
obstructs your gate.
If the anti-crushing circuitry is
invoked during the opening
cycle, then the controller will
stop the gate. The second gate
leaf (if fitted for a double-swing
system) will continue to open.
Once the obstruction is cleared,
the obstructed gate can
immediately be operated using
the remote control, or gate
release pushbutton, or other
access control device (refer to
Multiple Collision overleaf), the
gate will close.
If the gate is closing, both
leaves will re-open, regardless
of whether the anti-crushing
mechanism on one or both
leaves senses the obstruction.
As per the above, when
triggering the system again, the
gate will close.
Collision force can be set
independently per direction of
travel and can be set from
minimum to maximum in five
incremental steps. A sixth
incremental step will disable
collision sensing entirely and
allow for maximum force – the
motor will run until it stalls at
which point a collision will be
detected.
Page 21
page 17
3.3.1. Collision Count
A counter monitors the number of collisions the gate experiences
before it fully closes. If the number exceeds the default value of
four, which can be adjusted in the Multiple Collisions Counter, the
controller will shut down. The Status LED (page 18) will flash four
times every two seconds until a valid trigger is received.
Please refer to Gate Status Indication (page 18) for more
information on this diagnostic device.
3.4. Infrared Safety Beam (optional but recommended)
3.4.1. Closing Safety
Beams
Closing Safety Beams
provide additional protection
against your gate closing on
people, pets or vehicles.
If the closing beam is broken
while the gate is opening, it
will continue to open. If the
gate is open, the gate
cannot be closed and if the
gate is closing, it will stop
and reopen.
If you select the Autoclose
(page 8) feature, the gate
will remain open if the beam
is broken and only close
after the set Autoclose time
has expired when the beam
has cleared.
You can use other protection devices like an inductive ground loop
instead of an infrared beam, but loops are only sensitive to the
presence of a vehicle (large metal objects) and provide no
protection to people or other objects in the path of the gate.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on suitable
protection devices.
FIGURE 19
3.4.2. Opening Safety Beams
These beams prevent your gate from opening if an object or person
is in the way.
If the beams are broken while the gate is closed, the gate will not
open. If the gate is opening, it will stop then close. If the gate is
closing, it will continue to close.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on suitable
protection devices.

3.5. Intruder Detection Alarms* (a world first)
3.5.1. Ambush Alarm
Once activated, if the opening
or closing beams are
continuously interrupted for a
predefined time, the Ambush
Alarm will sound. Intruders
often cover beam lenses, thus
breaking the beam, so your
gate stays open after you
have entered or left your
property – but with the
Ambush Alarm enabled you
can be instantly alerted to any
criminal activity.
3.5.2. Break-In Alarm
If the closing beam on the
outside of your property is
broken, the Break-In Alarm
will sound and continue until
30 seconds have passed since
the beam is re-made.
Intruders will not be able to
loiter outside your property as
the Break-In Alarm will
immediately alert you of their
presence – and the noise of
the onboard buzzer is often
an effective deterrent.
Optionally the alarm signal
can be routed to an armed
response company.
If either the Ambush Alarm or Break-In Alarm is utilised, the system
may be configured to operate one of the following outputs provided
on the controller:
Onboard buzzer – emits a continuous tone
Pillar / Courtesy light contact
Safety beam common
Status LED output
Auxiliary IO (which can be used to connect to a third party alarm
and security company, or a CENTURION G-SWITCH-22 device to
alert you of the alarm via SMS)

A LED (Light Emitting Diode)
mounted on your intercom
allows you to view the position
of your gate and the condition of
the battery and power supply
from the safety of your home.
The different signals of the LED
are described below:
If you choose not to fit a Gate Status Indicator, the Status LED
on the controller can also be used for trouble-shooting
3.7. Courtesy (Pillar) Light Timer (optional feature)
Courtesy (Pillar) Lights can be
connected through the controller
if a 220V power supply is
available at the gate. The lights
will switch on every time the
gate is given a signal to operate
and stay on for an adjustable
period of one second to ten
minutes (in increments of one
second) then automatically turn
off.
The purpose is to bathe your entrance with light when you open the
gates and increase your security as you drive into your property – it
also saves electricity as the lights only come on when you use the gate
motor.
Using the Pedestrian Opening feature will cause the Courtesy
(Pillar) Lights to flash three times before the gate opens
Features
and
functions
Page 24
page 20
3.7.1. Courtesy (Pillar) Light Control
The Courtesy (Pillar) Lights can be switched on from inside your home
or office by connecting a pushbutton to the VECTOR2 controller.
For your safety this pushbutton switches only low-voltage signals.
Press and release the button for the lights to switch on for the defined
period then switch off automatically. Press and hold the button for
three to four seconds for the lights to stay on permanently, until you
push the button again. If the Gate Status Indicator is fitted to the
intercom handset, the LED will flash once every two seconds to
indicate that the lights are on permanently.
This feature can also be operated using your remote control. Simply
set one of the spare buttons on the transmitter to switch your
Courtesy (Pillar) Lights on and off.
Please refer to Onboard Multichannel Receiver (page 22) for more
information on the various functions you can operate with your
remote control.
Low-wattage, 12V DC light fittings are also readily available and can
be connected to the system, drawing power directly from the battery.
However, please ensure that the power drawn by the lights and motor
does not exceed the recharge rate of the battery. Larger charger units
can be fitted to cope with the additional load – contact your gate
automation specialist or CENTURION for more info.
3.7.2. Courtesy (Pillar) Lights act as Warning
Light
For additional safety, the
Courtesy (Pillar) Light output
can be configured to act as a
warning light before the gate
operates and while the gate
is moving.
Contact your gate
automation specialist or
CENTURION for more details
on the different Warning
Light Modes.
FIGURE 24
3.7.3. Pre-open and pre-close delays
If you make use of the Warning Light feature, you can set your gate
to have a slight delay before it opens or closes to allow the light to
warn pedestrians or vehicles that the gate is about to move.
The pre-open and pre-close delays can be independently set and
also independent of enabling the warning light feature referred to
above.

3.8. Onboard Multichannel Receiver
The VECTOR2 controllers are
supplied standard with a
multichannel receiver
compatible with CENTURION’s
TM
secure rolling code (Keeloq
encryption). The receiver will
allow any combination of the
different inputs (such as Trigger,
Pedestrian, Holiday Lockout,
etc.) to be operated from a
single multi-button remote
control.
You can artificially increase the
number of buttons of a
CENTURION multi-button
remote control by using a twobutton combination. One of the
buttons is used as a shift button
to allow the other buttons to be
used again in combination with
this button. Press and hold the
shift button and then press one
of the other buttons to create a
new button. The shift button
cannot be used as a button on
its own; it must always be used
in combination with another
button.
Use of the shift key principle
allows a three button
transmitter to gain an extra
button and operate four
functions and a four button
transmitter gains two extra
buttons and can operate six
functions.
This is quite handy if you’d like to control additional devices from a
single multi-button remote control, for example, your garage doors if
they are equipped with CENTURION rolling code receivers.
However it’s also important to note that other devices cannot be
activated with the new shift button, only the VECTOR2 (and other
CENTURION operators that are equipped with an onboard receiver) are
able to recognise the shift button signals. Using a shift button also
prevents you from enabling functions like Holiday Lockout Mode by
accident because you have to use both hands to press the two button
combination.

Another function provided with this receiver is the ability to record the
memory location of each remote control, mapping this to the name of the
owner of the remote (if recorded). This allows any transmitter that is lost
or stolen to be selectively erased from the system without affecting any
of the other remotes installed.
It is also possible to erase the functions of certain buttons on a remote
control if they’re no longer required. Alternatively, the functionality of
certain buttons can be changed to trigger different functions.
At any stage remote controls can be selectively added, deleted or edited
within the system.
Contact your gate automation specialist or CENTURION for assistance.
Features
and
functions
3.9. Battery Low Protection
The controller has circuitry that monitors the state of the battery. During
a power-failure, energy is drawn from the battery, but is not replaced. To
prevent the battery from being run totally flat, and being damaged, the
protection circuitry shuts off the gate system when the battery voltage
drops below 10.5 volts.
The Gate Status Indication LED will flash three times every two seconds
and the controller LCD will state ‘Battery Low’. The gate will complete its
current cycle and then shut down until the battery has recovered.
If you see the Battery Low signal, check that the power circuit feeding
the gate motor is switched on. Otherwise, contact your local gate
automation specialist or CENTURION for assistance.
Page 27
page 23
4. Additional features
You will need to fit a deep-cycle low-maintenance battery (minimum
35Ah) in order to provide sufficient backup capacity during days of
poor weather. The charger supplied with the standard VECTOR2
system must also be replaced with a high efficiency solar regulator.
These are typical values for Southern Africa. Contact CENTURION or
your gate automation specialist for details on what solar panel to
select in your area.
FIGURE 30
4.1. Solar power supply
A solar panel can be used to
charge the battery instead of
the conventional charging
circuit. A 20W panel will
provide enough power for 20
operations (less if 12V DC
security lights are fitted) on
an average gate.
4.2. Lightning Protection
The VECTOR2 controller has onboard lightning protection.
The protection circuitry was originally designed in conjunction with the
South African Centre for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). It is
however, important to realise that the controller's protection only
functions correctly if an adequate lightning-earth is fitted during
installation.
Contact your gate automation specialist for assistance.
Lightning damage is not covered under the normal guarantee
of the equipment
4.3. Leaf Delay
Some double swing gate installations are designed with one of the
leaves having a mechanical ‘lip’ to cover the gap between the leaves
when they are closed. With others a lock is fitted to one of the leaves in
addition to the ‘lip’.
The VECTOR2 controller has the ability to set a leaf delay so that the
one leaf opens before the other in order to prevent the two leaves
obstructing with each other due to the ‘lip’ and/or the lock.
Likewise, when the gate closes the controller will ensure that the two
leaves are properly synchronised so that it closes properly.
Contact your gate automation specialist for assistance.
The leaf delay can be adjusted and this is measured in millimetres of
operator piston travel.

5. Basic maintenance
Basic
maintenance
CENTURION operators are designed to be maintenance-free. However,
there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly, (every
six months). These checks will increase the long term reliability of the
system and prevent erratic operation of your gate.
WARNING! Isolate mains supply as well as disconnect
the battery before cleaning or working on the
equipment
5.1. General
Remove all shrubs and vegetation which may interfere with the gate
opening or closing correctly
Make sure that all terminals are tight and that the terminals are
firmly plugged into the sockets on the VECTOR2 controller
Keep the inside of the control housing clear of insects and dirt
Grease the gate hinges to ensure that the gate swings freely
Spray a good quality insect spray on the wall surrounding the
controller housing, do not spray onto or inside of the housing itself
Ensure that the manual release camlocks work correctly and lubricate
as necessary
A graphite powder lubricant is sometimes better than oil, or grease,
as it does not attract dust
Ensure that the camlock covers are closed to prevent the ingress of
dust and insects
If padlocks (optional extra) are fitted to the pins securing the
VECTOR2 to the gate and wall-brackets, then check that these
padlocks can be opened
Lubricate padlocks as required, particularly during the rainy seasons
Check that the operator wall mounting brackets are still securely fixed
to the gate pillar or wall. Similarly, examine the condition of the fixing
of the gate brackets to the gate itself. There are very large forces
applied to all the brackets and they can be worked loose
5.2. Battery
CENTURION operators, which are fitted with maintenance-free lead acid
batteries, should provide at least three years of normal service life.
For sites utilising an external large capacity (+/-35Ah) low maintenance
battery, ensure that the level of liquid (electrolyte level) is correct.
In all instances check for corrosion of the battery terminals. Clean and
apply copper-based grease as necessary.
5.3. Charger
The VECTOR2 operators have chargers separate to the main controller.
In the case of product malfunction, the charger fuse should be checked,
but only by a qualified electrician.
Always isolate the mains supply to the operator before attempting to
remove and check the fuse.
Page 29
Basic
maintenance
page 25
Check the ‘Mains Present’ icon on the main diagnostic screen or switch
to the battery charger diagnostic screen and check the charger voltage
– right-hand value. This should indicate, 13.6V DC to13.8V DC, at
charge rate under full load of +/-1Amp. Each charger has a red light
(LED) to indicate mains supply.
Page 30
page 26
6. Diagnostics
Depending on the type of fault or condition of the motor, audible
feedback will be given via the onboard buzzer. Listen out for this and
refer to the table below:
The different conditions are given in order of precedence:
Break-in Alarm – if the safety beams have been broken with this
feature set, the buzzer will emit a continuous tone for 30 seconds
Ambush Alarm – if the safety beams have been broken with this
feature set, the buzzer will emit a continuous tone until the safety
beams have been cleared
Battery Low – Buzzer will emit three beeps every two seconds for 30
seconds. Refer to section, Battery Low
Multiple collision – Buzzer will beep periodically until condition is
cleared. Refer to section, Anti-crushing, Collision count
Holiday lockout – If Holiday Lockout Mode has been enabled, when
triggering to operate the gate, the gate will not operate but the buzzer
will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds
Emergency Stop – If the emergency stop button has been activated,
the buzzer will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds
Mains failure – If the mains supply to the charger has failed the
buzzer will emit two beeps every two seconds for 30 seconds
Safety beam broken – if something is in the path of the beams the
buzzer will emit one beep periodically for 30 seconds
Safety beam failure – if the safety beams are not operating the
buzzer will emit five beeps periodically for 30 seconds (beam test
circuit must be enabled)
Contact your gate automation specialist or CENTURION for further
assistance.
WARNING! Do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Any work performed by unauthorised personnel may
void the warranty

7. Troubleshooting guide
This is a basic checklist for your gate automation system. Should you
experience a fault with the system, see if the symptom corresponds to
any given in the list below. For each symptom listed, the probable cause
and action to be taken is given. Terminals and LEDs referred to in the
fault-finders table usually refer to those found on the VECTOR2
controller in the enclosure that is usually mounted on the gate pillar
closest to the Master VECTOR2 operator.
In the event of the symptom not being listed, consult your installer, or
Centurion Systems, for assistance.
Prior to working inside the control card enclosure,
ensure that the mains supply to the system has been
isolated. With the battery connected, the actuator will
