I love teaching – its a new found passion for me since 2010. It’s an amazing profession and one of the most rewarding I’ve ever experienced.

As a human, I like to question everything. I like to understand how things work, why they are how they are, and how it affects what I do. I love working with my hands and converting my crazy ideas into art. From wooden art, painting, and general DIY around the home/office I love to play. Still a very junior photographer with a Nikon 3100 I’ve recently been clicking galore.

So in the process of repairing / replacing my garage motors we discovered one of the end stop sensors weren’t working. So the garage door wouldn’t stop make a clunk sound and then open again to the correct position.
So on a late Saturday afternoon I set out looking for a security shop that stores end stop sensors. Couldn’t find any so came home and had to use the old grey matter. I discovered that in the centre there was a magnet – so went around the house thinking how to close a magnetic circuit. After a few moments it hit me – the alarm triggers (door / window sensors, entry sensors) have a magnet and a reed switch. Installed a reed switch as an end stop on the garage motor and it worked perfectly.
Later that week went to find out the price of the sensor pack which was about R350 – and my solution costed me R10.
How reed switches work:

Centurion Systems make a great product. Fairly easy to setup and configure. Recently half my motor was stolen so I thought let me rebuild it component by component.
Surprisingly, it was fairly simple and the online support, groups, youtube vids (http://www.youtube.com/user/CenturionSystems) and Centurion’s website (http://www.centsys.co.za/) really helped.
Important manuals I found useful are:
D5Evo_Installation_Manual_20110418_1010.D.01.0175_7_small
Gate Motor user guide and the most important one I think is Diagnostics made easy
Enjoy …
