Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Centurion R3 and R5 receiver?
The R3 is a 3-channel receiver allowing up to 3 separate relay outputs (open, close, pedestrian or lighting). The R5 is a 5-channel model with additional relay outputs for more complex access control setups. Both use the same KEELOQ code-hopping transmitter protocol.
How many remotes can the Centurion R3/R5 receiver store?
The Centurion R3 and R5 receivers can store up to 50 transmitter codes in their memory. When the memory is full, new remotes cannot be added until existing ones are deleted.
Can I add a Centurion SMART 2 remote to the R3/R5?
Yes, the Centurion SMART 2 transmitter is compatible with the R3/R5 receivers. Follow the standard learn procedure: press the receiver's learn button until the LED flashes, then press the desired button on the SMART 2. The LED will flash to confirm successful programming.
How do I reset the receiver to factory defaults?
Hold the learn button for approximately 10 seconds until the LED flashes rapidly, then release. This clears all stored transmitter codes. A factory reset should only be done when all remotes need to be reprogrammed, as all previously programmed codes are permanently deleted.
Can the R3/R5 receive a trigger from an intercom or keypad?
Yes, the R3/R5 receivers have a dedicated wired trigger input terminal. This connects to a relay output on an intercom, keypad, or access control panel to trigger the gate motor. The trigger input is a dry contact input requiring a brief contact closure.
Is the R3/R5 compatible with older Nova transmitters?
Compatibility depends on the specific receiver version. Some R3/R5 receivers support a legacy mode for Nova and similar fixed-code transmitters. Consult the full installation manual or contact JD Gates to confirm compatibility with your specific remote.
