How to Program a Centurion Gate Motor Remote (D5 Evo, D5 Smart, D10)
Programming a Centurion Nova remote to a D5 Evo, D5 Smart, or D10 gate motor takes under 5 minutes. This guide covers the standard procedure for adding a new remote to a Centurion motor's memory.
Step-by-Step: Add a New Remote to a Centurion D5 Evo or D10
- Stand at the motor control board. Open the motor cover if required.
- Locate the LEARN button on the control board (usually labelled "L" or has a key icon).
- Press and release the LEARN button. The status LED will illuminate or flash to indicate programming mode.
- Within 10 seconds, press and hold the desired button on the new Nova remote until the motor beeps or the LED flashes twice — confirming code acceptance.
- Test the new remote by pressing the programmed button to open the gate.
How to Delete All Remotes (Memory Wipe)
If all remotes are lost or compromised: hold the LEARN button for 8–10 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly, then release. This clears all stored remote codes. You will need to re-programme all remotes from scratch.
Remote Compatibility
Only Centurion Nova remotes (433 MHz, code-hopping) are compatible with D-Series motors. Non-Centurion 433 MHz remotes will not work. JD Gates supplies Nova remotes and provides on-site programming across Pretoria. Call 012 012 6285 if you need assistance.
