Centurion Smartguard Air Wireless Outdoor Keypad
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.

Planet Automation installed a new garage motor for me in April. Their quote was competitive and their service great. Most importantly, their after sales service is also fantastic as when I reported a funny sound when opening my garage recently, they did not hesitate to come out to investigate and adjust.Posted on Google![]()
