Centurion Systems: (you will have to C&P the full URL shown below)

There are only two systems of door opener, XTrac and RDO.

Manuals can be found here: (Page down until you see the appropriate section.)
http://www.centsys.co.za/?q=con,114,Product Documentation



Note that the driven shaft requires periodic lubrication.
Although most systems should be lubricated with Molybedenium disulphide grease (applied manually), I find that a small amount of spray oil every 6 months works wonders.
The shafts can and do aquire dust, and this can cause the load on the drive mechanism to exceed limits. If lubrication does not solve the problem, then you may well have a drive unit failure, requiring repairs by the manufacturer.
Note that NO lubricant should be applied to the steel door guides.

    The manuals are of a different series, thus are unhelpful. I need someone to provide me with information on how to reprogramme my control unit. The door is raising and lowering using the manual button on the unit, however, the light is blinking which indicates the setting is incorrect. Is there someone who knows how to reprogramme the control unit?

How to get my garage door to open all the way?

Three blinking lights & door won't close by Candi
(Winston-Salem, NC)
Garage door will not open and close with remotes. Three blinking lights occur when we try to close door. What does this mean? It is a Linear unit.

I will assume you mean that your garage door will open with your remote but will not close. It should close if you press and hold the wall control button until the door is fully closed.

If that is the case, the 3 blinking lights indicate that your garage door's infrared safety beams are not properly aligned.

1) Check that the operator has power. The green lights on the sender and receiver should be lit.

2) If the receiver's green light is on, but the red light is off, the receiver has power but is not detecting the infrared beam from the sender. The red light might flash when the beam is partially detected. This can be caused by
mis-alignment or something blocking the beam.

Adjust the safety beam sender and receiver while watching the receiver's red light (stay out of the beam while aligning it). When the red light stays on, the beam is aligned and your garage door should operate normally.

http://www.linearcorp.com/pdf/manuals/LCO75.pdf

NOTE: If the receiver's red light remains off, check for:

1) Dirt on the receiver's lens,

2) Sunlight shining into the receiver's lens,

3) A short in the safety beam wiring (from staples or at the operator terminals).

Garage door will not close when using the remote or garage door button. it will open, however. it can be forced closed by holding the garage door down. i have had this problem before . i have...

Check to see if your child/animal security beam is working correctly. It is an "Electric Eye" mounted about 12 in off of the floor on two mounting points and one side shoots an infra red beam across to a receiver. These points must be reasonably aligned to flash a beam (cannot see) from one point to another. This beam keeps the door open if it is interrupted . If it is not aligned, then the door opener sees a problem and will not close the door electrically. You must aligned the beam by bending the transmitter or receiver untill you can close the door by the remote. Also check to see if something placed in the garage is not blocking the beam first.
