Who doesn’t like a bit of bling? Whether you prefer a simple, tasteful set of cufflinks, an understated wrist watch or you have a penchant for Lil Jon levels of ostentatiousness, there’s just something about accessorising that makes an outfit feel complete. Accessories can tie a suit together, accentuate that little black dress or even draw attention away from a poorly-chosen item of clothing. It can emphasise certain attributes while diminishing the harshness of others.

While we won’t be stocking decorative, sequin-covered sleeves or gold baseplates for the D5-Evo any time in the near future, you can accessorise your gate motor with all the latest access control solutions. The D5-Evo integrates seamlessly with a number of ancilliary security products, including…

The SMARTGUARDair keypad

Photon infrared safety beams

Okay, the presence of the word “safety” in this product’s name probably tipped you off to the fact it isn’t so much an optional extra as it is a must-have. If you have an automatic gate, or you’re planning to automate, then you definitely need some sort of detection device in place to ensure that your installation is as safe as possible and the gate won’t close on kids, pets or vehicles. Photon infrared beams represent the easiest way to achieve a safe automatic gate installation.

Most compelling features:

• It looks so good!
• Silicone buttons designed to last and last
• Secure code-hopping technology makes it very difficult to copy or clone
• Easy battery replacement and visible battery-low indication

There's something in the air...

Ask any installer of access control equipment what the most costly, tedious and time-consuming aspect of his job is, and you’re guaranteed an answer of:  “Why, the wiring, of course”.  This is an understandable sentiment and indeed one that most of us share.

Not only does it take long to route cable and quite often calls for conjugate to be installed, but it is well-known to anybody who has ever done even the most cursory of wiring jobs, that cable is incredibly expensive.

For exactly these reasons, CENTURION has developed the SMARTGUARDair completely wireless keypad, a revolutionary access control device that offers not only the functionality of the original hard-wired model, but a myriad of other useful features – all while affording the user the convenience of completely wireless connectivity.
