not necessary, but the earthing lead must still be grounded to
the motor base plate as this serves as lightning protection
The diameter of the cable needed to supply power to the
system will depend on the distance between the transformer
and the motor, as well as on the output voltage of the
transformer used. The table below shows the typical cable
thicknesses for corresponding distance and assumes a 16V AC

The D2 Turbo is designed to open and close domestic sliding gates weighing up to
250kg. The gearbox, moulded from a high-tech engineering polymer not only looks good,
but is corrosion-free and guarantees that even if you live on the coast, your D2 Turbo
will just keep on going. A robust steel pinion ensures that your D2 Turbo can easily be
retrofitted on sites with existing steel rack and will deliver years of reliable service.
The D2 Turbo Low-Voltage is a cost-effective domestic sliding gate motor for gates
weighing up to 250kg. Its logic controller and onboard charger require only a low-voltage
AC or DC input, which means there is no need for costly high-voltage cable runs or
expensive isolators.
The integral 12V 5Ah battery (charged by an internal charger) comes with full battery
backup and advanced lightning protection so you can always get in – even when the
power is out. For increased power capacity you can install a larger, 7Ah battery
(your D2 Turbo was designed to cater for this), or you can even use a solar panel to
power it (See the section on Solar Panels, for more details about solar charging).
Advanced features of the D2 Turbo logic controller:
The D2 Turbo has various useful features and functions, all easily-accessible from a
user-friendly dial-based setup system:
Opening and closing safety beam inputs with beam circuit functional test
High-security cleared-beam Autoclose in conjunction with safety beam (PIRAC)
Multiple Modes of Operation: Standard Mode, Open only Mode (multi-user), Reversing
Mode, and two Pre-flashing Modes
Automatic closing with adjustable time delay, and pushbutton override
Remote gate-status indicator (gate position, power failure, low battery, multiple
collision detection and Pillar Light status indication)
Pedestrian Opening (with adjustable Autoclose time)
Holiday Lockout
Courtesy/Pillar-Light timer (fixed duration), with pre-delays and two
Pre-flashing Modes
Selectable gate speed modes - Low Speed/High Speed (High Speed is the default)
Positive Close Mode (e.g. ensure activation of electric fence contact switch)
Onboard multichannel CENTURION code-hopping receiver with the ability to learn
transmitter buttons to specific functions (e.g. Gate trigger, Pedestrian Opening,
Holiday Lockout)

6. Glossary
DOSS: Digital Origin Seeking System. An opto-electronic system that counts pulses in
order to determine the position of the gate and the distance that it needs to travel to
its respective endstops
IRBO: Opening infrared Safety Beams. If the opening beams are interrupted while the
gate is in the closed position, it will prevent the gate from opening. If they are
interrupted while the gate is travelling in the open direction, it will stop and close the
gate. It will have no effect upon a closing gate
IRBC: Closing infrared Safety Beams. If the closing beams are interrupted while the
gate is in the open position, it will prevent the gate from closing. If they are
interrupted while the gate is closing, it will stop and open the gate. It will have no
effect upon an opening gate
PIRAC Mode: Passive infrared Autoclose Mode. This feature allows the gate to close
automatically as soon as a vehicle or pedestrian has passed through the closing beam.
This security feature ensures that the gate stays open for the minimum amount of time
possible
page 12

page 13
Endstops
Fit endstops capable of stopping the gate at rated speed. Refer to specifications at the
beginning of this manual for the operating speed
Make H>h to ensure gate will not jump over endstop
WARNING!
Endstops are mandatory and must be fitted to prevent death
or accidental injury should the gate overrun its limits
7. Preparation of Site

page 14
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 with the gate in the
required open position
Check for loose, sandy soil if installing foundations, as the soil condition may require a
larger foundation
Never fit 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 sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares
The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed
The gate mass, length and application is within the operator specifications
The gate is in good working order, meaning:
that it moves 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 keyswitches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line of sight of the operator

Guide-rollers and anti-lift brackets
Guide-rollers must ensure that the gate is held vertically
For improved safety, fit additional support post to prevent gate from falling over if
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
page 15

page 16
Starting and running forces
Test the starting force of the gate as per the diagram. Use a pull scale to determine
the maximum amount of pull force required to get the gate moving
Determine the running force of the gate by continuing to pull on the scale with just
sufficient force to keep it running and read off the maximum value in kgf shown on the
scale
Where possible determine the gate mass
The warranty will be void if the pull force and/or gate mass exceed the operator
specification as below:
Starting force - 18kgf
Running (rated) force - 9kgf
Maximum gate mass - 250kgf
