6. Basic Maintenance
Motors from Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd are designed to be maintenance-free.
However, there are some basic checks that should be carried out regularly (every six
months). These checks will increase the long-term reliability of the system and prevent
erratic operation of your gate.
Isolate Mains supply and disconnect the battery before cleaning or
working on the system.
6.1. General Maintenance
1. Keep the track clear of stones, dirt and obstructions
2. Ensure that all rollers run freely
3. Put the operator into Manual Mode and check that the gate runs freely on its rail and
does not catch or foul against the walls or pillars
4. Ensure that the gate wheels and guide-rollers are rotating freely and are not worn.
In high-volume applications it will be necessary to replace these components regularly
5. Ensure that the rack is properly secured to the gate and that it does not press down
onto the operator pinion at any point along its travel
6. Keep shrubs and vegetation clear of the motor and rack
7. Check that the key still operates the camlock - spray with lubrication if necessary
8. Keep the inside of the motor housing clear of insects and dust
6.2. Battery
CENTURION operators, which are tted with maintenance free lead acid batteries, should
provide at least three years of normal service life.
For sites utilising an external large capacity (+/-35Ah) low maintenance battery, ensure
that the level of liquid (electrolyte level) is correct.
In all instances check for corrosion of the battery terminals.
Clean and apply copper-based grease as necessary.
6.3. Charger
The D5-Evo DOMESTIC, D10 and D10 Turbo operators have chargers separate to the
main controller. In the case of product malfunction, the charger fuse should be checked,
but only by a qualied electrician.
Always isolate the mains supply to the operator before attempting to remove and check
the fuse.
Check the “Mains Present” icon on the main diagnostic screen or switch to the
battery charger diagnostic screen and check the charger voltage – right hand
value. This should indicate, 13.8V for the D5-Evo DOMESTIC and 27.6V for
the D10 and D10 Turbo. Each charger has a red light (LED) to indicate mains
supply.
