SECTION 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This guide covers all aspects pertaining to the electrical setup of your new VANTAGE,
VERT-X or VECTOR2swinggateoperators,includingwiringandconguringthevarious
features and functions available on the controller.
1.1. Lightning Protection
The V-Series Controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy that
is used in all of 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. In order to ensure that the surge protection is
eective,itisessentialthattheunitisproperlyearthed.

ICONS USED IN THIS MANUAL SECTION 2
2. Icons Used in this Manual
This icon indicates tips and other information that could be useful during the
installation.
This icon denotes variations and other aspects that should be considered during
installation.
This icon indicates warning, caution or attention! Please take special
note of critical aspects that MUST be adhered to in order to prevent
injury.

page 10 www.CentSys.com
3. Electrical Setup
1. Always check that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position,
andthatallhigh-voltagecircuits(morethan42.4V)arecompletelyisolatedfromthe
mains supply before doing any work.
2. Ensurethatalllow-voltagesystems(lessthan42.4V)aresuitablyprotected
from damage, by disconnecting all sources of power such as chargers and
batteries before doing any work.
3. All electrical work must be carried out according to the requirements of all applicable
local electrical codes.
3.1. Secure V-Series
Wall Box to Wall
SecuretheV-SeriesWallBox
to the wall using the most
appropriate means.
Be sure to position the Wall Box
so as not to cause any hazards
during and after the installation.
Preferably mount the Wall Box:
FIGURE 1
Mount the V-Series Wall Box preferably at
a comfortable working height
3.2. Connect all Wiring
Connect all the required cables to
the Controller; see pages 16 to 33.
• Out of direct sunlight
• At a comfortable
working height
• Away from garden
sprinklers, etc.
• To allow easy access
even when the gate is
open

ELECTRICAL SETUP SECTION 3
When wiring each operator back to the Controller housing, it is recommended to mount a
small junction box adjacent to each operator. Terminate the cable provided on the operator
into this junction box and then route a new cable from the junction box to the Controller
housing.
Junction

FIGURE 3
• It is essential that the cable is tied o in such a way that a loop 350mm
long is formed between where the cable exits the back of the operators,
and either the mounting bracket or Wall Box, in order to minimise
exing of the cable
• If a sharp bend is introduced to the cable, or a loop that is less than
350mm in length is used, the resulting cable fatigue, or excessive
tension on the cable, may cause the operators to behave erratically
or to stop operating altogether

page 12 www.CentSys.com
SECTION 3 ELECTRICAL SETUP
Check that the charger and battery are connected to the Controller.
Ensure that the battery polarity is correct.

ELECTRICAL SETUP SECTION 3
3.3. Setting the Limits
Ensure that the mechanical setup procedure for your operator (VANTAGE, VERT-X
or VECTOR2) is completed before proceeding with the electronic limit setup. See the
Mechanical Installation Manuals.
3.3.1. For an Inward Opening Swing Gate:
Disengage the operator(s) and manually push the gate(s) to the desired closed position.
Engage the operator(s).
3.3.2. For an Outward Opening Swing Gate:
Disengage the operator(s) and manually push the gate(s) to the desired fully open
position.
3.3.3. Activate Automatic Limit Setup Procedure:
Engage the operator(s).
Closed lock indicates an operator is in the engaged state.
• Select the ‘Limits’ menu by pressing the enter button ( )
• Followtheon-screeninstructionstocompletethesetupprocedure
• When prompted to select the operator, always ensure that the correct operator
‘VANTAGE/VERT-X/VECTOR2’ is selected
Ifpoweringupthesystemex-factory,itwillrequestfortheOperatingProle(Operating
Standard)tobeset;selectfromthelisttheProlethatwillsuitthespecicregion.
With this set, the system will automatically proceed to the Limit Setup Menu; follow the
on-screeninstructionstocompletetheSetupProcedure.
IfpoweringupwiththeProlesetbutnolimitsset,thesystemwillautomatically
