Upgrade pedestrian gates, side doors and secondary entrances with the Centurion SmartGuard Air wireless keypad. A compact, battery-powered PIN keypad built for outdoor use. Planet Automation supplies, programs and installs Centurion wireless keypads across Cape Town (Table View, Parklands, Blouberg, Milnerton, Melkbosstrand and surrounding areas), giving you simple, secure code access without heavy wiring.
 
The Centurion SmartGuard Air wireless keypad provides reliable, vandal-resistant, battery-operated PIN access for gates and pedestrian doors. Ideal where running cable is difficult or costly, SmartGuard Air integrates easily with Centurion gate motors, intercoms and access-control systems to deliver convenient, secure entry management.

Battery life and maintenance tips

  • Typical battery life: 12–24 months depending on use and environmental conditions.

  • Use high-quality alkaline or recommended battery types for best longevity.

  • We recommend annual checks during routine gate servicing.

  • Low-battery LED or alert (on compatible controllers) helps schedule replacements before failure.

Security considerations

  • Use long, non-obvious PINs for higher security.

  • Rotate temporary codes regularly for short-term workers or contractors.

  • Enable lockout after repeated failed attempts to reduce brute-force risk.

  • Combine keypad access with CCTV or intercom verification for high-security entrances.
