TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS

Remote control access is where security and convenience meet. Centurion Systems has a range to comply with your site’s unique security requirements, whether basic or advanced.

NOVA
CODE-HOPPING TRANSMITTERS
Your transmitter is more than a collection of electronics and buttons. It is a digital key into your home, your world, your life – and with CENTURION’s award-winning NOVA range of transmitters and receivers, that key is completely unique. NOVA transmitters offer code-hopping technology, meaning that each code that is transmitted is totally and randomly different from the last code transmitted. This prevents unwanted copying or cloning of the remote itself and helps keep your home and belongings safe. Now compatible with the ultra- secure, super-advanced HELIX range of receivers! True peace of mind is at your fingertips.

MAIN FEATURES

• Security CENTURION style: While pressing a button on a lesser transmitter might exploit your home security system’s vulnerabilities, pressing a CENTURION NOVA’s button is like putting an extra wall between you and would-be intruders. That’s how secure it is.

• Visible Battery-low indication: With CENTURION
  transmitters, you’ll never be caught off-guard. Thanks to an integral LED on the face of the transmitter, you’ll be notified when it’s time to change its battery, and the remote’s clever, user-friendly design makes battery replacement quick and easy. To replace the battery, simply rotate the inner casing, remove it from the outer clip, and use a coin to prise apart the inner casing to expose the battery. That’s the kind of
  convenience that wins awards!

• Functionality at your fingertips: Whether you want to activate a single function, like opening your gate, or control your home’s entire automation system, there’s a CENTURION transmitter for you. CENTURION transmitters are available with one to four buttons and can even be increased to six buttons with certain CENTURION receivers – available with one, two, or four channels.

• Excellent immunity: CENTURION receivers boast excellent immunity to external interference, as well as high sensitivity, which means that you get optimum range and can open your gate from a long way away.
  That translates into better security!

• Durable construction: Designed for outdoor use and built strong to withstand the very worst of Mother Nature’s onslaughts, both the receivers and transmitters boast weatherproof and dust-proof enclosures, and their stylish, durable silicone buttons are designed to last for thousands of presses!

• Ruler of airwaves : CENTURION receivers won’t leave you begging outside your gate like a scolded puppy. With stable narrow-band technology for improved reliability, one press of the transmitter button is all it takes. When a CENTURION transmitter speaks, the gate listens! No questions asked!

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The body of the remote can be rotated in its clip so that the buttons are best positioned to suit the way in which the remote is held.

Whether operated hanging from the keys in the vehicle ignition or with a bunch of keys in the hand or simply by itself, the CENTURION remote is comfortable to use.

NOVA HELIX
SINGLE- AND MULTICHANNEL RECEIVERS

The CENTURION NOVA HELIX system incorporates code hopping technology to offer the ultimate security in the remote control. A unique,randomly-changing code is transmitted with each operation, making it virtually impossible to duplicate the system. Thereceiver uses self-learning technology, for quick and easy setup.

Single-channel receivers: Ultra-secure code-hopping technology to ensure that criminals cant learn their own remotes into your system. NOVA HELIX single-channel receivers are ideal for activating a single function such as opening a gate or triggering a garage door operator. Multichannel receivers: Up to four different activations with Centurion Systems’ NOVA HELIX multichannel receivers. Open a gate for vehicles, for pedestrians, switch on a Pillar Light, and activate Holiday Lockout Mode – all using a single receiver.

MAIN FEATURES

• Features secure code-hopping technology
• Receivers are self-learning, with either one, two, or four channels
• Receivers incorporate stable narrow-band technology
• Highly robust dust-proof and weatherproof enclosures
• Excellent immunity to external interference for outstanding reliability
• High sensitivity delivers an improved range
• Choose between ultra-secure Master learning and super easy Link Learning
• Learn Links can be disabled for added security
• Supports SmartSwitch II interfacing capabilities
•  Convenient Autolearn feature
• Adjustable pulse time
• Simple and secure: Learning new remote buttons is an absolute cinch with the intuitive Link Learning Mode: it’s easy enough for Mom, Dad, Gramps, and the kids to master! And speaking of “master”, switch to Master Learning Mode for an even more secure system that ensures that unauthorized individuals wanting to learn in their own remotes will have a very, very hard time. PLUS: all NOVA HELIX receivers  support the ability to disable the function jumpers for even more security
• Timed Autolearn: The kids leave early for school, teenagers stay out late – it can be difficult to get all the remotes together in one place for programming. Unless you have a NOVA HELIX, that is. Simply set up the conveniently timed Autolearn function, specify for how long it should remain active, and let the NOVA HELIX automate remote learning for you! Multichannel receivers include advanced channel mapping functionality during Autolearn
• Sticky Latch: Sticky Latch functionality means that in the event that power to the device is reset, when the power comes back on the outputs retain the state they were in prior to the power disconnect
• A world of convenience: All NOVA HELIX receivers support SmartSwitch II interfacing capability which means that not only can outputs be safeguarded against tampering, the receiver can also be used to control up to 15 electrical devices such as gate motors, garage door motors, pool pumps, lights, etc. (SmartSwitch II devices act as the additional physical outputs)

INDUSTRY-LEADING PRODUCT TECHNOLOGIES

TECHNOLOGY

CENTURION products feature a host of industry-leading technologies, all conducive to greater security, greater convenience, and superior functionality. Just some of the advanced technologies found in our products are:

• ChronoGuard – a world-first timer technology that allows the user to set a myriad Autoactivation and
  Time-barring functions using the onboard Real-Time Clock and Calendar, which tracks the date up to the year  2099

• Intruder-detection Alarms – The novel feature- set – consisting of the Beam Alarm and Ambush Alarm – ups the security ante even further by providing an audible output when the infrared gate safety beams are obstructed or remain interrupted for a pre-defined period of time

• Code-hopping technology – CENTURION remote controls are equipped with code hopping encoders that process the outgoing transmission through a sophisticated encryption engine, making copying and cloning virtually impossible. No two transmitted codes will ever be alike

• Onboard diagnostics – Our D-Series range provides both audible and visual feedback of the gate status at any given time. In addition, a designated diagnostic screen makes faultfinding a breeze

• High-volume capability – CENTURION operators are designed to work hard and work hard they do – with some operators such as the SECTOR II traffic barrier being capable of performing in excess of 3000 operations every single day
