In order to prevent possible leakage during shipping, the unit is 
shipped with no oil inside the gearbox. A bottle containing 80ml of a 
special synthetic oil is included with the product, and this must be 
introduced before operating the product.

Manual release handle in 
closed position.

2.

Open lock cover and insert 
key. Turn the key a quarter-
turn, counter-clockwise to 
unlock.

3.

Pull the manual release 
handle down to enable 
manual release.

4.

With the release handle
lowered, insert the split pin, 
(supplied with the mounting 
hardware kit), through the 
hole in the gearbox as 
indicated.

General considerations for the installation

For comprehensive information, please refer to the full installation 
manual available for download on 

www.centsys.com.au

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

Make sure the gate mass, 
starting - and rated-pull-force 
limitations are not exceeded.

Guide-rollers must ensure that 
the gate is held vertically through 
the entire length of the gate 
travel. For improved safety fit 
additional support posts to 
prevent gate from falling over 
if guide rollers fail.

Ensure that the gate 
cannot be lifted off the 
motor pinion with the 
anti-lift bracket fitted

6. Technical specifications

Manual release 
operation

In the event of power 

failure, or product 
malfunction, it may be 
required to lock the cover 
in place whilst 'latching' 
the manual release (i.e. 
manual release 
permanently enabled). 
This helps prevent theft of 
the unit, or its 
components, and provides 
full protection from the 
elements

Oil filling 
procedure

It is more convenient to 
introduce oil before 
bolting the unit down, as 
shown in the illustration 
below. The 

D10/

D10 Turbo

 does not 

require routine oil 
changes. However in the 
event of the unit losing oil 
due to stripping down or 
mechanical damage, the 
correct replacement oil is 

Castrol SAF XO 75W-90 
synthetic final drive 
lubricant

&

&

Cut the tip off the nozzle which will allow for the oil to pass 
through the nozzle; unscrew the oil bottle cap; remove the 
seal from beneath the oil bottle cap; replace the oil bottle 
cap onto the bottle and attach the extension tube to 
the nozzle

&

Fill the gearbox with the oil provided

Remove dipstick from gearbox

mandatory to install the following additional safety equipment in order

Light:

Optional pillar lights  (3 core LNE SWA, size according 
to power requirements)  

n1 = number of cores required by intercom

n2 = number of cores required by intercom

Possibly increase cable thickness if pillar lights are installed

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)

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

For optimum range, an external receiver can be mounted on the 
wall

Close lock

The 

D10

 is a heavy duty sliding gate operator designed to open and 

close industrial sliding gates weighing up to 1000kg. The 

D10 Turbo

 

is perfectly suited for sites requiring a high number of operations per 
day, and very fast opening and closing speeds, and can reach almost 
double the speed of the standard 

D10

. However, it is recommended 

that gates weighing more than 240kg are not operated at maximum 
speed, as the inertia generated by heavier loads might prove 
detrimental to the gearbox at such high speeds. A die-cast aluminium 
gearbox, coupled to a powerful 24V DC motor and switch-mode 
charger, make the 

D10/D10 Turbo

 the automatic choice for 

townhouse complexes and office parks. Gate travel limits are 
managed by an opto-electronic system, comprising a gate-mounted 
origin magnet and an internal rotary encoder. This system yields 
precise and repeatable control over gate position. The gearbox of the 

D10 Turbo

 uses a full involute gear, ensuring much greater load 

bearing capabilities. The standard 

D10

 uses a 34 tooth internal gear 

and a 17 tooth output pinion, whereas the 

D10 Turbo

 uses a 22 

tooth internal gear and a 20 tooth output pinion.
