RECOMMENDED SPEED AND GATE MASSES FOR D10 TURBO SMART1

1. If a D10 Turbo SMART is used on a gate over 250Kg, the speed must be reduced according to the table above to ensure that the gate can be safely stopped in an emergency.
2. Centurion Systrems (Pty) Ltd recommends the use of a D10 SMART for gates weighing over 500KG.

Preparation of Site

• Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges and safety beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical risks.
• Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation.
• Check that enough space is available for the gate operator, specifically for the release handle and the removal of the Gearbox Trim
• Check for loose, sandy soil if installing a foundation, as the soil condition may require a larger foundation.
• Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it.

Install the gate operator only if:

• It will not pose a hazard to the public
• There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
• The installation meets all municipal and/or local authority requirements once completed
• The gate mass and application are within the operator specifications
• The gate is in good working order, meaning:
  • it opens freely;
  • it does not move on its own if left in any position;
  • it can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when opening and closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment
• Pushbuttons or key-switches, when required, must be positioned so that the gate is in line-of-sight of the user

Starting and Running Forces
Test the starting force of the gate to ensure that the gate is within the operator specifications as per Figure 2. Use a pull scale in both directions to determine the maximum amount of pull force required to set the gate in motion.
Determine the running force of the gate by continuing to pull on the scale with just sufficient force to keep it running. Read and note the maximum value in kgf (kilogram-force) shown on the scale.

Typical anti-lift arrangements
Guide-rollers must ensure that the gate is held vertically through the entire length of the gate travel. For improved safety, fit additional support posts to prevent gate from falling over if guide-rollers fail.

Ensure that the gate cannot be lifted off the motor pinion with the anti-lift bracket fitted.

Endstops
Opening and closing endstops are mandatory and must be fitted to prevent death or accidental injury as the operator uses and confirms these limits during operation.

1. Possibly increase cable thickness if pillar lights are installed.
2. Type of cable must adhere to municipal bylaws but typically SWA (steel wire armoured) cable is recommended. The armouring provides excellent screening, which gives better protection against lightning – earth one end of the screening.
3. Allows for all features such as pedestrian opening, status LED, etc., to be operated from the intercom handset inside the dwelling. Number of cores and type of cable could vary depending on brand of access control system being used.
4. Wireless accessories are available. Please refer to www.censys.com for further information.
5. For optimum range, an external receiver can be mounted on the wall.
6. Requires an external relay
7. Consult manufacturer of loop detector for specific details.

Manual Override

Before mounting the rack to the gate, ensure that the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART is in Manual Override. Follow the instructions below.

To disengage (Manual Override) the motor, ensure that the Camlock is in the “unlocked” position, and pull the Release Handle to a 90° position. The Motor will then be placed in a temporary state of disengagement.

Manual Override Latching
In the event of a power failure, it may be required to lock the cover in place whilst “latching” the manual release (i.e. manual release permanently enabled). This helps prevent theft of the unit, or its components, and provides full protection from the elements. With the release handle in the open position, slide the Override Cam located on the inside of the handle towards the gearbox, and a “click” can be heard once it has located correctly. Return the handle to the closed, or locked, position. This allows continued manual operation of the gate while ensuring that the cover remains securely locked in place. See Figure 7. To re-engage the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART (i.e. take the operator out of latched Manual Override), push the Release Handle Override Cam to the right and then slide it towards the Camlock. See Figure 8.

Installation Preparation

To ensure that the operator does not protrude into the driveway, install the base plate at least flush with the driveway entrance.
It is typical to mount the rack above or underneath the pinion as shown in illustrations below.

The measurements given below are based on the rack supplied by Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd, and are to be used as guidelines only. Ensure that all the standard considerations for a quality gate installation are adhered to as detailed in our detailed installation manual.

D10 SMART – Steel Rack

1. Includes 3mm clearance required between rack and pinion
2. Distance between bottom of the Foundation Plate and bottom edge of the Rack Tooth

The principles of installation on a Steel Rack is to position it in the middle of the output pinion with the operator fully forward on the slots. The Pinion Guard needs to be rotated 180 degrees if the rack below the pinion is desired for ONLY the D10 SMART and D20 SMART, and not the D10 Turbo SMART.

D10 Turbo SMART – Steel Rack

1. Includes 3mm clearance required between rack and pinion
2. Distance between bottom of the Foundation Plate and bottom edge of the Rack

The principles of installation on a Steel Rack is to position it in the middle of the output pinion with the operator fully forward on the slots.

D20 SMART – Steel Rack

1. Includes 3mm clearance required between rack and pinion
2. Distance between bottom of the Foundation Plate and bottom edge of the Rack Tooth

The principles of installation on a Steel Rack is to position it in the middle of the output pinion with the operator fully forward on the slots. The Pinion Guard needs to be rotated 180 degrees if the rack below the pinion is desired for ONLY the D10 SMART and D20 SMART, and not the D10 Turbo SMART.

Foundation plate installation

The foundation plate can either be set into a concrete foundation or bolted down onto an existing or new concrete plinth. Check that the M10 half-nuts are tightened to 20Nm on the mounting bolts.

1. Using a pair of pliers, gently bend the two tabs of the foundation plate down to a 90° angle.
2. Again, using a pair of pliers, gently bend the two legs on each tab to an angle of 90° in opposite directions.

Lay the cabling conduit so that it routes the cables to the back of the Foundation Plate. Ensure that 30mm of conduit protrudes above the concrete.

Using medium-strength concrete (25MPa), cast the plinth according to the dimensions as shown in Figure 13.

When using a concrete foundation, it is recommended that the Foundation Plate is welded to the rail/track of the gate using a short length of flat bar, as shown in Figure 14. This makes it possible to complete the whole mechanical and electrical installation without having to wait for the concrete to set. After completing the installation, the concrete can be poured and the operator left in Manual Mode until the concrete has set. Do not operate the motor until the concrete has completely set.

Existing concrete plinth
If bolting onto an existing concrete plinth, place the Foundation Plate down in the correct position and use the plate as a template for marking the Expansion Stud holes.

• Check that the M10 half-nuts are tightened to 20Nm on the mounting bolts.
• Ensure that the Expansion Studs do not protrude more than 23mm above the Foundation Plate.
• Rerouting of existing cables may be necessary.

Conduit and Cable Length

• Route the cables as determined in Section 8 – “Cabling Requirements”.
• Make sure that the conduits protrude above the concrete foundation. The mains cables should protrude 450mm above the concrete foundation, and all signal cables (i.e. beams, etc.) 600mm above the concrete foundation, as shown in Figure 16.

Preparing the Operator for Installation

Open the Camlock Cover, and insert the Operator Key into the Camlock. Unlock it by turning the key anti-clockwise.

There is no need to open the Release Handle to remove the cover of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART.

Remove the cover of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART to expose the internal components, and place it to one side in a safe location.

Removing the Charger
Disconnect the Charger from the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART Control Card at either Point “A” or Point “B”. If the disconnection is made at Point “A”, note that there are two connector blocks that need to be disconnected from the Control Card.

Disconnect the Earth Harness from the Charger at Point “C”, and store it in a safe place. Remove the Charger from the lower battery tray by gently pushing the Charger slightly down whilst pulling it towards the front of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART. It should slide forward and off with ease.

Operator Installtion

Mounting the Gearbox
To remove the Gearbox Trim with the battery tray, firstly ensure that the Camlock is in the “unlocked” position. Open the Manual Override Lever so that it is in the 90° position. Remove the Camlock Key, and keep it
in a safe place. Hold the gearbox trim on both sides firmly and pull the entire assembly forward with a slight tug towards the front of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART. It will unclip from the rear of the gearbox. Manoeuver it over the Manual Override Lever to remove it completely off the gearbox.

The Cable Shield needs to be removed before mounting the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART onto its Foundation Plate. This is done by lifting the Cable Shield up and away from the gearbox.
Once the Cable Shield has been removed, place the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART/D20 SMART into position over the two Mounting Bolts, aligning them with the two slots at the bottom of the gearbox and rest the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART onto the Foundation Plate. Once the Gearbox is resting on top of the Foundation Plate, slide the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART as far as possible towards the gate to allow for later adjustment.

Routing the Cables
Route cables as determined in Section 8 – “Cabling Requirements”.
POINT A is the entry point for cables with the conduit installed at the back of the unit as shown in Figure 25.

Height Adjustment
The D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART’s unique Height Adjustment System adjusts from the top of the gearbox.
This adds further security to the system, as it is not possible to access the Height Adjustment Bolts from the outside of the gearbox.

Using a ratchet and a 12mm socket, turn the Height Adjustment Bolt clockwise to lift the Operator, or turn it anti-clockwise, to lower the Operator.

Mounting the Rack
The rack must be securely mounted to the side of the gate. It must be parallel with the gate rail and there must be a 2-3mm gap between the rack teeth and the teeth of the pinion.

1. Before mounting the rack, raise the operator an additional 3mm.
2. Ensure that the D10 SMART Gearbox is in Manual Override.
3. Start with the gate either fully open or fully closed.
4. Slide the D10 SMART back towards the gate to where the Pinion will sit just under where the rack will be fixed to the gate.
5. Rest the rack directly onto the Pinion while welding / bolting the rack into position.
6. Level the other end and fix that end to the side of the gate.
7. Lower the operator 3mm to achieve the required 3mm tooth clearance.
8. Ensure that operator mounting bolts are securely tightened.

Before fully fixing each section of rack, slide the gate backwards and forwards along the section, checking that the rack is only resting on the Pinion, and not pressing down onto it.

Fitting Steel Rack to the Gate

Fix the Steel Rack with the steel angle brackets. The brackets must be spaced no more than 300mm apart.

When joining different lengths
of Steel Rack, a simple way of ensuring that the correct pitch spacing is achieved, is to clamp a small off-cut between the two pieces.
Do not weld the off-cut to the gate or the join.

Installing the Origin Sensor and Marker
The Origin Sensor and Marker is an optional extra for the D10 SMART, but is mandatory to use for the D10 Turbo SMART, and the D20 SMART as a safety precaution. Place the Origin Sensor into its dedicated slot found just above the Pinion on the Lower Battery Tray.

Note the orientation of the Origin Sensor.

Route the Harness around the electric motor to the front of the operator, and through the cable retainers found in front of the Control Card.

Connect the Harness to the white “Origin” Terminal found on the Control Card.

Mounting the Origin Marker

Firstly, fully close the gate.
Mount the Origin Marker to the rack a minimum of 500mm from the origin sensor. It is possible to make the distance between the marker and the sensor much greater than 500mm. However, if using the pedestrian opening facility, although the position of the marker will not affect the width of the pedestrian opening, it is preferable to have the marker mounted inside of the pedestrian opening point.

Note the orientation of the Origin Marker.
Manually slide the gate open until the origin marker is in line with the origin sensor.
Ensure the distance between the face of the marker and front face of the sensor is between 10 and 20mm.
Adjust distance by sliding the Origin Marker along the slotted mounting holes until the specified distance is achieved.
