Centurion D5 Evo Sliding Gate Motor

Product Description

The Centurion D5 sliding gate motor (commonly the D5-Evo) is an automatic gate operator designed to open and close sliding gates up to about 500 kg with smooth, reliable motion. It’s a feature-rich operator that balances strength, speed, safety, and convenience — ideal for driveways, homes, small commercial entrances, and light industrial sites.

Key Characteristics

Power & Operation

• Motor type: Battery-driven with a charger; operates even during power outages thanks to a built-in battery backup system.

• Input voltage: Standard mains AC supply (≈90–240 V AC) charges the battery which powers the motor at 12 V DC.

• Duty cycle: Designed for frequent daily use (up to ~150 operations per day).

Gate Compatibility

• Max gate weight: Up to around 500 kg (for standard domestic and light commercial sliding gates).

• Max gate length: Typically up to 100 m depending on specific installation and conditions.

Performance

• Speed: Gate movement usually around 18–22 meters per minute, opening a typical 4 m gate in under ~12 seconds.

• Smooth motion: Adjustable acceleration and deceleration (soft start/stop) means quieter, gentler action and less wear on components.

Safety & Control Features

Obstacle detection & anti-crushing safety: The motor senses obstructions and stops or reverses to reduce risk to people, pets, or vehicles.
Integrated remote receiver: Built-in code-hopping multichannel receiver that can store many remotes (e.g., up to ~500 transmitters).
Easy programming: LCD-based controller makes setup and adjustments straightforward.
Optional advanced functions: Time-based automation, pillar light control, alarm integration, and multiple operating modes may be available on some variants.

User Experience & Practical Benefits

✔ Reliable performance even during power outages — battery backup maintains gate operation.
✔ Faster access — quicker opening reduces wait time at entrances.
✔ Enhanced security — secure coded remotes and safety sensing help deter unauthorized access.
✔ Customizable operation — users can tailor speed, force, and behavior to suit their gate and preferences.

Typical Applications

• Residential homes with medium-weight sliding gates

• Light commercial outlets where frequent access is needed

• Small industrial sites with controlled perimeter access
