Centurion D5 Gate motor with IR object detector

[georgelza]

Hi guys.

My IR failed, causing gate to be stuck open/refuse to close...
I'm not at home atm so this is on my wife...
on what ports does the IR unit connect again.

it seems to be 4 wires in my case,

Have a yellow and black going onto one port, looks like a negative, a red onto power and a green onto detect.
We tried to just disconnect all, but it seems to cause a open circuit on the detector so does not help.

Can I short/connect two ports to cause a sensor bypass.

Try port 6667

hmmm there are no numbers like port 6667 on the top of the green box/brain.

i need to tell my wife over a WA video call how to do.

Best would be to disengage the motor, close the gate manually and engage it again

I need to figure out how to do this bridge,

which 2 terminals do i bridge.

I've already had he do a reset, and a power cycle.

This was after a major major storm on Monday night, I"m thinking the IR sensor or cable is faulty so need to bypass/bridge it.

Put the gate on manual, close it, take it off manual so it can lock "in gear".

 

[georgelza]

So found online to remove the yellow wire… did not help.

... so removing yellow wire and doing power cycle did not fix problem.
so for now gate is on manual till i get home.

You just need to install a link wire between CLOSE and COM. That will bypass the safety beams untill they are repaired.

 

[georgelza]

thanks,
was wondering how to bridge.

Rather than bridging just disable it in the menu rather

bridging would be short term... as I would replace sensor.
thus not needed to reconfigure it...

Can't disable the beams on a D5 EVO, you can disable the autoclose. But the CLOSE light must be on for the gate to be able to close. Only way to have that on now is to install the link wire or have working beams.

 

[georgelza]

autoclose is def not enabled.

all thats there atm is beam to make sure it does not by accident go into car if button pressed by accident while 1/2 in.
