Centurion Vector Linear Swing Gate Operator

The VECTOR automation system is the all-round winner for swing gates. It’s linear operating principle with internal position control makes the system quick and easy to install. Its revolutionary mechanical design ensures a swift, powerful and reliable operator for the majority of domestic and light industrial gates. The low- voltage motor provides safe operation and battery back-up. The advanced controller is feature-rich and the set-up and commissioning is child's play.

LOW PROFILE IN-LINE DESIGN
The VECTOR has a low profile design with in-line construction of the motor, gearbox and actuating piston. This enhances the aesthetic appearance of the operator allowing it to blend in as unobtrusively as possible with the design of the gate.

EASY TO INSTALL
The fully integrated linear action operator with no complicated linkages makes the installation of the system very quick and easy. Added to this, the internal position-control mechanism simplifies the installation even further, as the gates no longer require end-of-travel end-stops*. Combined with different optional mounting bracket kits, VECTOR can be fitted to almost any swing gate pillar.

HIGH PUSH FORCE
The high torque DC motor operating through an efficient planetary gearbox delivers a potent 300kg of push force . The VECTOR is capable of reliably operating swing gates in the majority of domestic and light industrial applications.

REVOLUTIONARY BRAKE
The revolutionary centrifugal brake developed for the VECTOR ensures secure locking of the operator when the gate is both open and closed.

INTERNAL LIMITS
Its double-redundant opto-electronic internal limit system guarantees very reliable operation and precise control of the movement of the gate.

FULL SPEED CONTROL
The VECTOR electronics with “QUADRA-DRIVE” speed control maintains a smooth and quiet starting and stopping of the gate, thereby reducing the operating stresses and extending the life of both the operator and the gate.

SWIFT OPERATION
The mechanical gearing of the VECTOR combined with its leading-edge speed system maintains rapid and controlled opening and closing of the gate for greater convenience and security.

SAFE BATTERY BACK-UP
With only a low-voltage battery supply powering the VECTOR operator, the system is totally safe from risks such as electrocution, and has the added benefit of providing power-failure protection. The added efficiency of the operator results is an exceptional number of uses even off a low-capacity battery in the event of mains-loss.

SENSITIVE ANTI-CRUSHING CONTROL
The VECTOR controller accurately monitors any obstructions to the movement of the gate to ensure ultra-safe operation against crushing and end-user peace of mind.

SECURE KEY RELEASE
The manual override is operated by an easily accessible key-lock. To reduce the ingress of dust and dirt into the lock mechanism, the lock is shielded by a plastic cover.

ALL WEATHER CONSTRUCTION
All external components of the operator are manufactured from stainless steel, epoxy coated aluminium or engineering polymers, to guarantee a robust and durable unit in both inland and coastal environments.

EASY TO USE
The VECTOR controller combined with its Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) provides a very intuitive and easy to use menu-system for programming, not only the initial set-up, but all features available on the system. Offering an extensive range of useful features the controller is exceptionally versatile and has the ability to adapt the system to suit the requirements of almost every user.
