1. Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The D6 SMART is a domestic and light-industrial operator designed to open and close sliding gates weighing up to 600kg. A custom-designed gearbox moulded from robust engineering polymers, coupled to a powerful 24V DC motor, provides fast and reliable automation for entrances to homes and small housing estates.

The system operates off two 12V 7Ah batteries housed inside the operator using a switchmode charger to maintain the batteries in a fully-charged state. The batteries provide critical power failure protection.

A non-contact Hall Effect Sensor was selected to ensure reliability and positional accuracy. The Hall Effect Sensor is highly resistant to dust, oil, dirt or insect ingress, therefore ensuring that the D6 SMART opens and closes gates reliably and accurately.

Advanced features of the D6 SMART logic controller include:

· Interactive graphic user interface via a smartphone application · Automated setup of gate end-points (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 remotes1)

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 D6 SMART to prevent unauthorised removal (theft) of the unit, an optional steel theft-deterrent cage with a patented design is also available for added peace of mind.

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

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 (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 have 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, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line-of-sight of the user

SECTION 5
5.2. End-Stops

NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Fit opening and closing end-stops 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.

CENTURION-D6-SMART-Sliding-Gate-Operators-fig- (4)

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

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.

5.4. Starting and Running Forces

NEW SITE INSTALLATION PREPARATION

Test the starting force of the gate as per the diagram. 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:

· Starting force – 30kgf – Maximum over the full length of gate travel · Running (rated) force – 17kgf – Maximum over the full length of gate travel · Maximum gate mass – 600kg

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

7.1. New Site Installations

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

When installing the D6 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 D6 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 D6 SMART will be installed. Refer to the examples shown below.

Check for wheels, palisade, uprights, etc. that could potentially collide with the pinion.

SECTION 7
7.1.3. Locating the Operator’s Position

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

To ensure that the operator does not protrude into the driveway, install the Foundation 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 for each type of rack considered. However, in each case, Figures 12, 14 and 16 show 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 three different racks supplied by Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd and are to be used as guidelines only.

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 21.
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 22. 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.

SECTION 7
7.2. Retro-fit Installations (Existing Sites)

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

The D6 SMART has been designed to retro-fit into most existing D3, D5, or D5-Evo installations, with the following provisions;

· If the unit is installed with the gate in the closed position and the unit on the lefthand side (from the inside of the property), the rack should extend at least 75mm past the centre line of the existing pinion

· If the existing unit is mounted with the maximum clearance to the Foundation Plate, the new unit will require that the rack be re-adjusted to obtain the correct mesh between the rack and pinion, as the existing bolts will be too short

If the existing Foundation Plate is in a good condition, it is not necessary to replace it with the D6 SMART Foundation Plate. However, if the existing Foundation Plate is corroded or needs to be replaced for whatever reason, the D6 SMART foundation plate can accommodate the existing footprint without the need to re-route cable conduits.

7.2.1. Retro-fitting if the Existing Foundation Plate is Unusable

Thoroughly inspect the existing Foundation Plate to determine whether or not it is fit to be reused. A foundation plate that is corroded, or otherwise damaged should be discarded and replaced with the D6 SMART foundation plate.
Follow the procedure found under Section 7.1.4.3. – “Existing Concrete Plinth”.
There is an allocated slot for existing conduit from previous D3, D5, and D5-Evo installations as shown in Figure 24.

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 360mm above the concrete foundation, and all signal cables (i.e. beams, etc.) 550mm above the concrete foundation, as shown in Figure 25.

7.7. Manual Override

OPERATOR INSTALLATION

Before mounting the rack to the gate, ensure that the D6 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 as far left as it will go. The Motor will then be placed in a temporary state of disengagement.

Release Handle

Camlock

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 48.
To re-engage the D6 SMART (i.e. take the operator out of latched Manual Override), push the Release Handle Override Cam to the left and then slide it towards the Camlock. See Figure 49.
