Product Description
The Centurion VANTAGE SMART is a sleek, high-torque linear actuator gate motor designed for single or double swing gates, spanning applications from light domestic entrances to heavy industrial gates. It combines smooth, quiet operation with rugged die-cast aluminium construction and smart app connectivity, making it a popular choice for homes, residential estates, complexes, and boutique commercial entrances.
Key Features
- High-torque DC motor driving through an efficient planetary gearbox, delivering a powerful 250kg push force — capable of reliably operating swing gates across most domestic and light-industrial applications.
- Grade 304 stainless steel wormshaft for maximum reliability and long-term durability.
- Tough die-cast aluminium construction throughout, fully sealed with custom-moulded seals for protection against the elements.
- Fully integrated linear-action design with no complicated linkages, for fast, straightforward installation.
- Internal position control mechanism removes the need for end-of-travel end stops, simplifying installation further.
- Revolutionary centrifugal brake securely locks the operator in place when the gate is both open and closed.
- Quadra-Drive speed control electronics deliver smooth, quiet starting and stopping regardless of gate condition or ambient temperature, even after years of service.
- Fail-safe, fully redundant Position and Collision Detection System, using a sealed opto-electronic system for precise position and trajectory control — setting the standard for safety and reliability.
- SMART app connectivity via the MyCentsys app range for automated limit setup, independently adjustable open/close speeds, adjustable auto-close, pedestrian (partial) opening, Positive Close Mode, and more — all managed from a smartphone.
Security Features
- Compatible with the SMART Siren, emitting a commanding 110dB alarm to deter intruders and alert those nearby
- Integrates with the GLX900 electric gate lock (recommended for all swing gate installations) — physically locks the gate closed and prevents forced opening from either direction, offering stronger protection than magnetic locks, which can be sheared or pried open
Safety Features
- Supports up to three sets of Photon SMART fully wireless infrared safety beams, for a hassle-free, professional, cable-free installation
- Independent safety inputs for opening and closing beams (wired)
- Fail-safe collision detection with auto-reverse and adjustable sensitivity, to protect against entrapment or obstruction
- Smooth, adjustable ramp-up/ramp-down for gentle starts and stops
Power & Convenience
- 12V DC battery-driven operation with onboard charger — standard battery backup ensures the gate keeps working through power outages or load-shedding
- Operates for up to 70 cycles without mains power
- Engineered for frequent daily duty cycles in busy households and light-commercial entrances
- Weather-resistant build, suited to demanding climates (coastal salt air, heavy rain, temperature extremes)
