The Vector operator has been designed to safely and cost-effectively automate a wide variety of swing
gates, from single light domestic swing gates to heavy industrial double swing gates.
The fail-safe and fully redundant position and collision detection system has been designed and tested
to set the standard in safety of operation and to provide an unparalleled level of reliability and durability
in operation.
The gate travel limits are managed by a sealed double-redundant opto-electronic system that has been
designed not only to ensure ultra-reliable operation, but also to ensure precise position and trajectory
control. This enables very accurate and reliable collision detection to ensure safe operation even under
trying conditions.
A novel, adaptive, parabolic ramping algorithm also ensures smooth and quiet gate starting and
stopping irrespective of the gate condition, even after many years in service.
The Vector 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.
Some of the advanced features offered by the Vector controller are:
• Fully automated single button limit-setup for single and double swing gates.
• Full graphics LCD display to simplify the installation process with easily understood icons indicating
the controller state.
• Intuitive user interface with built-in diagnostics to speed up and simplify the installation process.
• Separate safety inputs for sensitive edges or beams on both the closing and opening directions of
the gate.
• Advanced closed-loop speed control to maintain safe and reliable operation on inclined gates
under windy conditions.
• Selectable and adjustable auto-close with pushbutton override.
• Pedestrian (Partial) opening with automatic closure.
• Positive close mode.
• Advanced and proven lightning/surge protection.
• Solenoid lock drive output up to 2A.
• A status LED output to indicate the gate status remotely.
• Leaf delay selectable for either gate leaf.
Lightning Protection
The Vector electronic controller utilizes 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. In order to ensure that the
surge protection is effective, it is essential that the unit is properly earthed.

This mounting works well for
heavy gates shorter than

This mounting means is
typically used on light to
