The 

D5-Evo

 is a domestic and light-industrial operator designed to open and close sliding 

gates weighing up to 500kg.  A custom designed gearbox moulded from robust 
engineering polymers, coupled to a powerful 12V DC motor, provides fast and reliable 
automation for entrances to homes and small housing estates. 

The system operates off a 12V battery housed inside the operator using a switch mode 
charger to maintain the battery in a fully charged state. The battery provides critical 
power failure protection. A solar supply can be used as an alternative energy source to 
charge the battery.

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.

Advanced features of the D5-Evo logic controller include:

Interactive graphical user interface via a backlit LCD display

Automated setup of gate endpoints (limits)

Fail-safe collision detection and auto reverse (adjustable sensitivity)

Smooth, adjustable start/stop (ramp up/ramp down)

Multiple operational modes

Selectable, adjustable autoclosing

Pedestrian (partial) opening

Positive close mode

Independent safety inputs for opening and closing beams

Automatic beam test for both open and closing beams

Advanced beam alarm functions

Advanced lightning/surge protection

Timed courtesy light output

Multiple pre-flashing modes

Independently adjustable motor speed in both opening and closing directions

Onboard CENTSYS code-hopping radio receiver with full channel mapping capability 
(limited to 500 buttons)

Onboard ChronoGuard timer (patent pending) for autoactivation of various physical 
input and outputs and time-barring of the same inputs and output including remote 
controls

Lightning Protection 

The electronic controller utilizes the same proven surge protection philosophy that is 
used in all CENTSYS 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. 

In order to ensure that the surge protection is effective, it is essential that the 
unit is properly earthed. 

Theft Protection

While care has been taken in the design of the 

D5-Evo

 to prevent unauthorized removal 

(theft) of the unit, an optional steel theft-resistant cage is also available for added peace 
of mind.
