This is 6 core gate motor cable for Centurion Systems Vantage and Vector swing gate motors, sold per metre. It is the cable that runs from the controller to each operator: 2 thick cores carry power to the motor and 4 thin cores serve the position sensor. It suits the Centurion Systems Vantage 400 and the Centurion Systems Vantage 500. The price is per metre and the quantity box is the number of metres. Both Centurion Systems installation manuals are under Documents on this page.
What the 6 cores do
The 2 thick cores feed the motor. The 4 thin cores go to the position sensor, which tells the controller where the gate is: two signal wires, a 5V supply and 0V. That is how the Centurion Systems Vector2 installation manual sets it out, and it is why ordinary 2 core cable cannot do the job.
What the Centurion Systems manuals ask for
The Vantage Smart installation manual calls for a motor cable of at least 2 thicker cores plus 4 thinner multi-stranded cores between the controller and each operator, and gives a maximum of 10m from the controller to the operator. The Vector2 installation manual says to leave a 350mm loop of cable at the operator, and to run the cables in conduit unless underground cable is used. We sell 20mm and 25mm PVC conduit. Read the manual for your motor before the cable goes in; both are under Documents.
How much Centurion Systems Vantage cable to order
Measure the route the cable will take from the controller to each operator and add the 350mm loop at the operator end. A double swing gate has two operators, so measure each run on its own and add them together. On a Vantage Smart system, keep each run within the 10m the manual gives. Type the total number of metres into the quantity box: 12 in the box means 12 metres.
