D5-Evo & D10 Synchronisation Diagram
Comprehensive wiring diagram for configuring two Centurion operators in a synchronised master/slave setup for double sliding gates. Includes inter-connection cable pinouts, signal wire identification, safety beam integration, and sequence programming instructions.
Technical Specifications
Synchronisation Highlights
Professional dual gate synchronisation ensures smooth, coordinated operation of both gate leaves for double sliding gate entrances in Pretoria.
Master/Slave Config
One operator acts as master, controlling the timing and sequence of both gate leaves for coordinated movement.
Sequence Programming
Configure opening and closing sequences with adjustable time delays between the master and slave operators.
Independent Operation
Each gate leaf can also be operated independently for pedestrian access or partial opening when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you mix a Centurion D5-Evo and D10 in a synchronised dual gate setup?
Yes, you can mix D5-Evo and D10 operators in a synchronised configuration. The synchronisation is handled electronically via the controller boards, which are compatible between these models. Typically, the larger or heavier gate leaf is assigned the more powerful D10 as the master, while the D5-Evo handles the lighter leaf as the slave. This is a common setup for double sliding gates in Pretoria estates.
What is the maximum gate span for a dual synchronised gate setup?
The maximum practical gate span depends on the operators used. A D5-Evo can handle a single leaf up to 5 metres (500kg), while a D10 can handle up to 10 metres (1000kg). For synchronised double gates, the total opening can therefore be up to 10 metres with two D5-Evos or up to 20 metres with two D10s. The inter-connection cable between operators should not exceed 50 metres in length.
What happens if one motor fails in a synchronised dual gate system?
If one motor fails, the other motor will continue to operate on its own via its trigger input. However, the failed gate leaf will remain stationary unless manually released using the emergency key. Most synchronised systems can be configured so that a single gate can operate independently in emergency situations. We recommend regular maintenance to prevent unexpected failures.
How do I set the opening and closing sequence for dual gates?
The opening and closing sequence is programmed through the master operator's controller. Typically, the master gate opens first, followed by the slave after a configurable time delay (usually 1-3 seconds). On closing, the sequence reverses: the slave closes first, then the master. This sequence is configured using the DIP switches or programming menu on the controller board, as detailed in the wiring diagram.
Can both gates be operated independently in a synchronised setup?
Yes, most synchronised configurations allow for independent operation when needed. Each operator retains its own trigger input, so either gate can be activated separately using a dedicated remote button or access control channel. This is useful for pedestrian access through one leaf while keeping the other closed, which is a popular configuration for residential properties in Pretoria.
