No, the Centurion R3 motor does not run continuously when closing the gate. It follows a mode-based operation system. In STANDARD mode, a trigger starts movement, and a second trigger stops it, while a third reverses direction. In CONDOMINIUM and PIRAC modes, the gate will close automatically, but it does not indicate continuous running—only controlled operation based on triggers and conditions.

Page 4: Introduction
Introduction Introduction A CENTURION GATE AUTOMATION system is a quality product designed to give many years of trouble free use, provided it is correctly installed and maintained. This guide highlights the features and operation of the CENTURION R3 and R5 AUTOMATIC SWING GATE systems to ensure that, YOU, the user will get the most from your system.
Page 5: Principles Of Operation
Principles of Operation The CENTURION R3 and R5 rotary swing gate operators are both 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.
Page 6: Features & Functions
Features & Functions Introduction The R3 and R5 Rotary arm operators are fitted with the CP75 controller. The controller synchronizes the functions of the gate operator. Modes of Operation There are four different modes of operation that can be selected. Only one mode can be selected at any one time.
Page 7: Intercom Pushbutton
If the gate is opening with the automatic closing facility selected, and the transmitter is then pressed, the gate will stop, but will close automatically after the auto-close delay time. Intercom Push button (Optional) Press to open gate A visitor outside the gate requests entrance Gate opened from intercom pushbutton inside house Most automatic gate installations are fitted with an intercom which provides for communication between the house and the gate.
Page 8: Pedestrian Keyswitch (Optional)
Anti-crushing Device The R3 and the R5 operator incorporates an electronic anti-crushing mechanism that will sense if a person or vehicle has obstructed the gate. If the anti-crushing mechanism of a single or double gate system is activated while the gate(s) are opening, the operator of the obstructed gate will stop.
Page 9: Multiple Collision
Gate opening onto an obstruction Only the obstructed gate stops. Gates closing onto object. Both gates automatically re-open. MULTIPLE COLLISION If the system is obstructed repeatedly 4 times after the initiation of an opening cycle, and before the master motor gets back to its fully closed position, the gate(s) will stop and remain locked in position for 1 minute.
Page 10: Auto-Close Override
AUTO-CLOSE OVERRIDE INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON or REMOTE Press and hold the gate release for 3 seconds to override the auto-close. If the auto-close function has been selected it can be conveniently and easily overridden for one cycle. This override feature is activated by holding down the remote control push-button, or intercom gate release button (approximately 3 seconds), when opening the gate, until the gate stops.
Page 11: Gate Status Indication
After this time the gate system can be reactivated but will shut off immediately again if a battery low condition persists. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL GATE AUTOMATION SPECIALIST OR CENTURION SYSTEMS IF YOU DISCOVER THAT THE BATT LOW SIGNAL GIVEN BY THE LED INSIDE THE HOUSE CONTINUES TO RE-OCCUR.

If the gate status indicator has not been fitted, there is an equivalent LED mounted on the CP75 marked STATUS, which can be used as a fault finding aid. NOTE: The controller's battery low protection will ensure that only the motors are prevented from drawing current from the battery.

system will operate normally.This is an added security feature should the property be unattended for an extended length of time. Lightning Protection The CP75 controller has on-board lightning protection. The protection circuitry is based on a design developed in conjunction with the CSIR. It is however important to realise that the controller's protection only functions correctly if an adequate lightning earth is fitted during installation.

Page 16: Basic Maintenance
Basic Maintenance Basic Maintenance The CENTURION system is designed to be maintenance free. However, there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly (every six months) which will increase the long term reliability of the system, and prevent false triggering of the protection systems leading to erratic operation of the gate.
Page 17 Fuse(250mA Size 5x20mm) Battery Charger In domestic applications the R3 and R5 are battery driven. Each system has a built in battery charger which automatically maintains the battery in a fully charged state. The casing may get hot when the charger is in operation.
