Centurion SDO4

DOMESTIC SECTIONAL AND TIP-UP GARAGE DOOR MOTOR
- We know that arriving home is more than just some automatic action or daily ritual. It’s an experience that’s charged with emotion
– the feeling of seeing your loved ones, your pets, the big-screen TV and all the other comforts that you miss during the day.
With the SDO4, that experience begins the moment that you open your garage door.
With whisper-quiet operation and movement that’s smoother than a Barry White song, the SDO4 garage door operator for tip-up
and sectional doors lets you know you’re home.
MAIN FEATURES
- An SDO4 to suit your door
The SDO4 comes in two different models, making it suitable for virtually any size domestic
garage door. Choose the T10 for smaller doors up to 12 square metres, or automate your
bigger door with the powerful T12 model. - Battery-driven – ALWAYS on
You need to be somewhere in a hurry. The power goes out. You’re going nowhere.
Unless you have the SDO4, that is. The SDO4 switches seamlessly between mains and battery
power in the event of a power outage, so it’s always on. You can even use solar power to
charge the system1. - Reliable DC motor
Our 24V geared DC motor provides enough power to move even the largest door quietly and
reliably. - Adaptive anti-crushing control
The SDO4 was designed with safety in mind! The built-in anti-crushing circuitry will cause the
door to stop and reverse if an obstruction is detected, helping to prevent serious damage or
injury2. - Ease of installation, adjustment and setup
Ready. Set. Go! The drive unit slides into the rail and the control box slots into position at the
back, it’s as simple as that. Additionally, the built-in LED display and colour-coded buttons
together make it a delight to confi gure settings and toggling between the operator’s many
unique features couldn’t be easier. - Total security at the press of a button
The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world… and so is the hand that
controls Holiday Lockout Mode! This onboard high-security feature allows you to electronically
lock your garage door by pressing one of the Wireless Wall Switch or remote control buttons,
giving you total control of who gets in. - Lock in any position
For increased security, the Manual Override can be disengaged and then re-engaged in any
position. If you’re going away on holiday you can also electronically lock your SDO4 so that
not even a learned-in remote control can operate the door. - Autoclose3
Look, Ma, no hands! If you forget to close your garage door, your SDO4 will do it for you – if
you’ve activated the Autoclose feature. Or maybe you’re moving stuff out of your garage and
need the door to remain open – overriding Autoclose is as easy as pressing a button!
3. Infrared safety beams need to be installed to utilise the Autoclose feature. - Onboard receiver with code-hopping security
A home security system that fi ts in your pocket. Our four-button code-hopping remote control
utilises the same technology found in top of the range vehicle security systems and can control
your SDO4, home alarm system, automatic gate motors and whatever else you need to feel
safe. Rest easy, knowing there’s a CENTURION standing guard. - Effortlessly switch between door types for the ultimate in
fl exibility
The SDO4 is suitable for both sectional and tip-up doors, and toggling between the two using
the intuitive LED display automatically, and intelligently, adapts the run profile to suit the
selected door type. - Door Service Monitor
Using adaptive load sensing technology, our Door Service Monitor keeps an eye on things and
a courtesy lamp will fl ash and a buzzer will sound when your door springs are worn out and
need maintenance. - Courtesy Light Control
The SDO4’s onboard light is always at your beck and call. Have it work as a Courtesy Light,
bathing your garage in a welcoming glow when the operator is activated, or switch it on and off
as needed, using one of the Wireless Wall Switch or remote control buttons.
Need to get a wrench from your garage to fi x a leaky faucet in the middle of the night? Let the
SDO4 light the way! - Convenient template learning
In a hurry? Thanks to the SDO4’s intelligent template learning feature, you can learn all the
buttons on your four-button remote control or Wireless Wall Switch in a set confi guration in a
matter of seconds! - Energy-saving technology
Save the planet! Not only will the SDO4 continue to operate during periods of unstable power
or even power outages, but it is incredibly easy on resources. In Sleep Mode it reaches a record
low power consumption of 0.5W. If this energy-saving technology isn’t enough, hook the
SDO4 up to a solar panel and politely inform the neighbours that you have a ‘zero emissions
operator’.
