Question 1

Do I need safety beams with my Centurion motor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on most compliant Australian installations. Photon SMART beams are the standard secondary safety pairing for D5, D6, and D10 Smart operators and are sold separately from motor kits.

Question 2

Why choose wireless beams over wired?

Accepted Answer

Wireless beams avoid trenching between the gate leaf and motor — useful on existing driveways, paved surfaces, and retrofits where running new cable is difficult or costly.

Question 3

Will Photon SMART work with my Centurion operator?

Accepted Answer

Photon SMART is designed for Centurion SMART sliding operators including D3, D5, D6, and D10 Smart. Contact us if you are unsure of your model before ordering.

Question 4

Can beams be added to an existing automated gate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — adding Photon SMART beams during a motor upgrade or compliance review is common. Alignment and commissioning should be completed by your gate installer or electrician.
