Description
The Centurion D5 Origin Sensor (also known as the Gate-Referenced Origin Sensor or Magnetic Origin Sensor) is a high-precision accessory for Centurion D5-series sliding gate operators (including D5-Evo, D5 SMART, and compatible older models).
This hall-effect magnetic sensor replaces or upgrades traditional optical/DOSS systems, providing reliable, non-contact gate position detection. It detects a magnet (origin marker) mounted on the gate rack to establish a precise “origin” reference point, ensuring accurate limit setting, smooth operation, collision detection, and error-free performance—even in dusty, dirty, or ant-prone environments.
Key Features:
- Non-contact hall-effect technology – No mechanical wear, highly resistant to interference, dust, and environmental factors.
- Gate-referenced positioning – Magnet on the gate provides consistent origin detection for precise stopping and anti-crush safety.
- Easy retro-fit installation – Plugs directly into the gearbox and controller (compatible with D5 v2+ models and SMART variants).
- Error prevention – Helps avoid common faults like “ORG Not Found” or erratic gate behavior by delivering reliable pulses to the controller.
- Durable construction – Often features a robust blue or black housing for long-term reliability in domestic and light-industrial setups.
Ideal for installers upgrading older D5 units or maintaining high-performance automation. Commonly sold as a kit with the origin magnet/marker and mounting hardware.
