1. Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The D10 SMART is a heavy duty sliding gate operator designed to open and close
industrial sliding gates weighing up to 1000Kg.
The D10 Turbo SMART is perfectly suited for sites with lighter gates requiring
a high number of operations per day, and can reach almost double the speed of
the standard D10 SMART for increased security. However, it is not suitable for
gates weighing more than 250kg, as the inertia generated by heavier loads
might prove detrimental to the gearbox at such high speeds. Refer to Table 2
under Section 2.2. – “Technical Specifications” for derating speeds on heavier
gates.
A die-cast aluminium gearbox, coupled to a powerful 24V DC motor and switch- mode charger, makes the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART the automatic choice for townhouse complexes and office parks.
The system operates off two 12V / 7.2 – 8Ah batteries housed inside the
operator using a switch-mode charger to maintain the battery in a fully-
charged state. The batteries provide critical power failure protection.
A non-contact Hall Effect Sensor ensures reliability and positional accuracy.
The Hall Effect Sensor is highly resistant to dust, oil, dirt and insect
ingress, thereby ensuring that the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART opens and
closes gates reliably and accurately.
For industrial sites with large, heavy gates and high traffic volumes, the D20 SMART offers a powerful and reliable automation solution that can move gates weighing up to 2000kg.
This formidable operator has been designed to withstand the most demanding operating conditions and work dependably in any environment thanks to its rugged die-cast aluminium gearbox and potent DC motor. In addition, its sophisticated electronics and motor control circuitry ensure that it moves smoothly with pinpoint stopping, further adding to the unit’s reliability and longevity. Complementing its tough mechanical build, award-winning SMART technology makes the D20 SMART as intelligent as it is solid.
Advanced features of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART logic
controller include:
· Interactive graphic user interface via a smartphone application · Automated
setup of gate endpoints (limits) · Independently-adjustable motor speed in
both opening and closing directions · Fail-safe collision detection and auto
reverse (adjustable sensitivity) · Smooth, adjustable start/stop (ramp-up
/ramp-down) · Multiple operational modes · Selectable, adjustable Autoclose ·
Pedestrian (partial) opening · Positive Close Mode · Independent safety inputs
for opening and closing beams · Automatic beam test for both opening and
closing beams · Advanced lightning/surge protection · Onboard NOVA code-
hopping radio receiver with full channel-mapping capability
(Limited to 1500 NOVA remotes with multiple buttons per remote)

1.3. Lightning Protection
INTRODUCTION
The electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy that is used in all our 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 and/or earth spike located next to the operator.
In order to ensure that the surge protection is effective, it is essential that the unit is properly earthed.
1.4. Theft Protection
While care has been taken in the design of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART /
D20 SMART to prevent unauthorised removal (theft) of the unit, an optional
steel theftdeterrent cage is also available for added peace of mind. In
addition, the system boasts novel theft and break-in protection via an
integral vibration sensor that can be connected to a sound bomb or third party
alarm system, or linked to an armed response company.
If a theft-deterrent cage is required, be sure to leave enough clearance from pillars, etc. (Section 7.1.2. – “Minimum Clearances”).

NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION
5. New Site Installation Preparation
5.1. General Considerations for the Installation
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 removal of the Gearbox Trim (See Section 7.1.2. –
“Minimum Clearances”).
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:
· that it opens and closes freely; · 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
page 13

SECTION 5
5.2. Endstops
NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Fit opening and closing endstops capable of stopping the gate at rated speed. Refer to the specifications at the beginning of this manual for the operating speed.
Make H1>H2 to ensure gate will not jump over the endstop.
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.

Endstop Ø16mm
FIGURE 4. FITTING ENDSTOPS
5.3. Guide-rollers and Anti-lift Brackets
Guide-rollers must be installed to ensure that the gate is held vertical. For
improved safety, fit additional support posts to prevent the gate from falling
over should the guide-rollers fail.
To prevent unauthorised access, fit anti-lift brackets as shown. The gap
between the anti-lift bracket and the gate must be less than 5mm.
Ensure that the gate cannot be lifted off the motor pinion with the anti-lift
bracket fitted.

SECTION 5
5.4. Starting and Running Forces
NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Test the starting force of the gate as per Figure 6. 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.
Where possible, determine the gate mass.
Our warranty will be void if the pull force and / or gate mass exceeds the below operator specifications:
D10 SMART · Starting force – 40kgf · Running (rated) force – 30kgf · Maximum gate mass – 1000kg
D10 Turbo SMART · Starting force – 24kgf · Running (rated) force – 18kgf · Maximum gate mass – 250kg

7. OPERATOR INSTALLATION
7.1. New Site Installations
OPERATOR INSTALLATION
When installing the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART, it is important to take note of the information found in Sections 7.1.1. and 7.1.2. when determining the position of the Foundation Plate, and the height of the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20 SMART in relation to the gate that is to be automated.
7.1.1. Locating an Initial Reference Point
Firstly, it is necessary to establish a reference point. To do this, manually
open and close the gate so that it moves past a stationary point (i.e. a
vertical spike), and determine which part of the gate (including its wheels)
protrudes the furthest towards where the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART / D20
SMART will be installed. Refer to the examples shown below.
Check for wheels, palisade, uprights, etc. that could potentially collide with
the pinion.

7.1.3. Locating the Operator’s Position
OPERATOR INSTALLATION
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 the pinion as shown in Figures 11, 13
and 15. However, Figures 12, 14 and 16 shows the rack mounted underneath.
If there is space to mount the rack underneath without fouling the ground as
the gate moves, the following are the pros and cons:
Pros · The rack is more hidden from view · It provides a very effective anti-
lift bracket · It ensures that, since the gate beds in, the rack does not drop
onto the
pinion, loading the operator unnecessarily
Cons · Rack teeth face up vertically, potentially collecting dirt · Could
require the use of a custom bracket
The measurements given below are based on the rack supplied by Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd and are to be used as guidelines only.

Using medium-strength concrete (25MPa), cast the plinth according to the
dimensions as shown in Figure 20.
300mm
400mm
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 21. 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
concrete has completely set.
7.1.4.3. 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 halfnuts 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.

7.2. Retro-fit Installations (Existing Sites)
OPERATOR INSTALLATION
The D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART has been designed to retro-fit into existing D10 and D10 Turbo installations.
If the existing Foundation Plate is in a good condition, it is not necessary to replace it with a new D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART Foundation Plate. However, if the existing Foundation Plate is corroded or needs to be replaced for whatever reason, the D10 SMART / D10 Turbo SMART Foundation Plate can accommodate the existing footprint without the need to re-route cable conduits.
The D20 SMART is designed to fit existing foundation plates for D10 and A10 installations. However, there are potential sites where an A10 was mounted high on a foundation plate, and the D20 SMART will not be able to reach the rack. In these cases, the rack will need to be lowered.
7.3. Conduit and Cable Length
Route the cables as determined in Section 5.5 – “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 23.

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.
Gearbox
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 40.
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 41.
