INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1
1. Introduction
The R6 rotary swing gate system is designed to open and close swing gates. The CP77
controlleriscapableofhandlingbothsingleanddoubleswinggatesandoersmanyfeatures
to suit almost any application.
The unit employs a battery-driven DC motor for low-duty domestic applications, which
provides automatic backup protection in the event of a power failure. The unit can also be
ttedwithahigh-dutypowersupplyinadditiontothebatterytoallowformorefrequent
operation of the gate.
TheR6isttedwithaninternalelectroniclimitswitchsystem,whichprovidesreliableand
accurate positioning of the gate. This system allows the operator to smoothly slow the gate
down at the fully-open or -closed positions.
A fail-safe and highly reliable collision sensing system is built into the controller, which will
cause the motor to stop while the gate is opening, and stop and reverse when closing the
gate is obstructed in any way.
Gate movement is transmitted to the gate by means of articulated arms.

1.1. Important Safety Information
ATTENTION!
To ensure the safety of people and possessions, it is important that
you read all of the following instructions.
Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the product could cause
serious harm to people.
The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last person on
the site who must ensure that the operator is safely installed and
that the whole system can be operated safely.
INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1
Warnings for the Installer
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS before installing the
product.
• All installation, repair, and service work to this product must be carried out by a
suitably-qualiedperson
• This operator is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety
• Do not activate your gate unless it is in view and you can determine that its area of
travel is clear of people, pets, or other obstructions
• NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE —
always keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of travel
• NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE GATE CONTROLS
• Secure all easily-accessed gate opener controls in order to prevent unauthorised use
of the gate
• Do not in any way modify the components of the automated system
• Donotinstalltheequipmentinanexplosiveatmosphere:thepresenceofammable
gases or fumes is a serious danger to safety
• Beforeattemptinganyworkonthesystem,turnoelectricalpowertotheoperator
and disconnect the batteries
• TheMainspowersupplyoftheautomatedsystemmustbettedwithanall-pole
switch with contact opening distance of 3mm or greater; use of a 5A hydraulic
breaker with all-pole circuit breaker is recommended
• Makesurethatanearthleakagecircuitbreakerwithathresholdof30mAistted
upstream of the system
• Never short-circuit the battery and do not attempt to recharge the batteries with
power supply units other than that supplied with the product, or manufactured by
Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd

page 7 www.centsys.com
INTRODUCTIONSECTION 1
• Make sure that the earthing system is correctly constructed and that all metal parts of
the system are suitably earthed
• Safetydevicesmustbettedtotheinstallationtoguardagainstmechanical
movement risks such as crushing, dragging and shearing
• Alwaystthewarningsignsvisiblytotheinsideandoutsideofthegate
• The installer must explain and demonstrate the manual operation of the gate in case
of an emergency and must hand over the User Guide/Warnings to the user
• The installer must explain these safety instructions to all persons authorised to use
this gate, and be sure that they understand the hazards associated with automated
gates
• Do not leave packing materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) within reach of children as
such materials are potential sources of danger
• Dispose of all waste products like packing materials, worn-out batteries, etc.,
according to local regulations
• Always check the obstruction detection system, and safety devices for correct
operation
• Neither Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd, nor its subsidiaries, accepts any liability caused
by improper use of the product, or for use other than that for which the automated
system was intended
• This product was designed and built strictly for the use indicated in this
documentation; any other use, not expressly indicated here, could compromise the
service life/operation of the product and/or be a source of danger
• Everythingnotexpresslyspeciedintheseinstructionsisnotpermitted
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
MOVING GATE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
KEEP CLEAR! GATE MAY MOVE AT ANY TIME!
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE THE GATE OR PLAY IN THE
NEAR VICINITY OF THE GATE.
KEEP CLEAR!
GATE MAY MOVE AT ANY TIME!
SAFETY
FIRST
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.
1.2. Lightning Protection
In order to ensure that the surge protection is eective, it is essential
that the unit is properly earthed.

5. New Site Installation Preparation
5.1. General Considerations for the Installation
Itisalwaysrecommendedtot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.
Check for loose, sandy soil if installing the operator on a pedestal, as the soil
conditionmayrequirealargerfoundation.
Nevert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sucient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specications
• 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sucient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

1. Possibly increase cable thickness if pillar lights are installed.
2. Type of cable must adhere to municipal bylaws but typically SWA (steel wire armoured) cable is recommended.
The armouring provides excellent screening, which gives better protection against lightning – earth one end of the screening).
3. Allows for all features such as pedestrian opening, status LED, etc., to be operated from the intercom handset inside the dwelling.
Number of cores and type of cable could vary depending on brand of access control system being used.
4. Wireless accessories are available. Please refer to www.censys.com for further information.
