Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
To operate your gate manually (e.g., during a power failure or malfunction), locate the manual release lever on the motor unit. Unlock it using the key provided with your installation, and pull the lever to disengage the gearbox. The gate should now slide or swing freely.
Beeping usually indicates a system alert. A periodic beep often signals that the backup battery is low or failing. Multiple rapid beeps may indicate a collision detection, an obstruction, or a beam obstruction. Check the controller display or LED status for specific error codes.
On newer SMART models, remotes are added via the MyCentsys Pro mobile app or through the onboard interface menu under 'Remotes' > 'Add Remote'. For older models, you typically press the 'Learn' button on the controller board and then press the desired button on the remote transmitter.
Warranty terms vary by region and product, but CENTURION typically offers a 24-month carry-in warranty on main equipment, subject to installation by qualified technicians and proper usage according to the manual.
Limit setup is automated on SMART models. Access the setup wizard via the MyCentsys Pro app or the physical controller interface. Select 'Limits Setup' and follow the prompts to allow the gate to learn its open and closed positions automatically.
