Photon SMART beams are the fully wireless Centurion Systems safety beams: the transmitter and the receiver both run on 2 x AA alkaline batteries, so neither side needs a cable. They work only with Centurion Systems SMART and SMART+ controllers. For any other motor, choose the Photon II wireless beams, which have a battery transmitter and a wired receiver, or the wired i5 infrared safety beams. Pricing is shown to trade account holders after login.

Which motors take Photon SMART beams?

Photon SMART pairs only with Centurion Systems SMART and SMART+ controllers. That covers the D3, D5-Evo, D6, D10, D10 Turbo and D20 sliding gate motors, the VANTAGE (V-Series) swing gate motors and the SDO5 SMART+ garage door motor. A VANTAGE SMART+ takes up to 3 sets. Photon SMART will not work with a controller that is not SMART or SMART+, or with another make of motor.

Fully wireless, set up in MyCentsys Pro

Each unit takes 2 x AA alkaline batteries, and Centurion Systems rates battery life at over 2 years. Do not use rechargeable batteries. The beams are paired with the gate motor's SMART controller in the MyCentsys Pro app. Photon SMART is a safety beam for the gate motor, not a smart home device.

Range and placement

The two units work up to 30m apart, and the receiver has to be within 10m of the SMART controller. Both units are rated IP54. Alectra Solutions supplies the equipment only. Trade account holders can open the Centurion Systems Photon SMART installation guide on this page after login.
