Centurion’s Smart Guard Air Keypad in Kenya

Introduction: Reinventing Access Control in Kenya

In Kenya, security and convenience go hand in hand. Whether you live in a gated estate, operate a business complex, or manage an industrial facility, having a reliable and flexible access control system is essential. That’s where Centurion’s Smart Guard Air Keypad comes in — a wireless keypad that allows you to control gates, doors, and barriers with advanced security features and no messy cabling.

This innovative keypad is part of Centurion’s new-generation SMART range, designed to deliver cutting-edge performance and ease of use. It’s perfect for anyone who wants secure, keyless entry without the hassle of traditional wiring or the risk of copied keys.

What Is the Centurion Smart Guard Air Keypad?

The Smart Guard Air is a wireless, multi-channel keypad used to control automated gates, garage doors, or security entrances. Built on Centurion’s Smart technology, it communicates via wireless radio frequency with a compatible receiver — typically installed inside the control box of your gate or access system.

Unlike traditional wired keypads, the Smart Guard Air is battery-powered, tamper-resistant, and easy to install anywhere — even where running cables would be difficult or costly.

Why Choose Smart Guard Air for Kenyan Homes and Businesses

The Need for Wireless Keypads in Modern Security Systems

In Kenya, many properties face challenges such as limited power access points, long driveways, or complex fencing layouts. Wireless keypads like Smart Guard Air eliminate wiring limitations, giving you the freedom to place the keypad wherever it’s most convenient — on a wall, post, or pillar.

From Nairobi’s high-end residences to industrial zones in Mombasa, security is a top priority. Smart Guard Air ensures:

  • Access only via unique PIN codes.

  • No duplicated remote concerns.

  • Full weather resistance.

  • Quick and wireless installation.

  • Integration with Centurion’s Smart range like D5 Evo, D10, and G-Speak systems.

The Smart Guard Air connects seamlessly to Centurion’s SmartGuard receiver or Smart gate motors via wireless technology. No cables, no digging — just pure convenience.

Advanced Security and Tamper Resistance

It supports up to 1,000 unique user codes, allowing each user to have a distinct PIN. If tampered with, it triggers an alarm signal, adding an extra layer of protection.

Long Battery Life and Low Maintenance

The keypad operates using standard AA batteries, which can last over two years with regular use. A low-battery warning alerts you before replacement is needed.

Robust Design for Kenyan Weather Conditions

Built with an IP65 weatherproof rating, it withstands dust, humidity, and rain. Whether it’s the coastal humidity of Mombasa or the dust of Kajiado, Smart Guard Air performs flawlessly.

It can control up to 15 different devices, from main gates to garage doors, using independent channels. Compatible with Centurion Smart receivers and other radio-linked systems.

How the Smart Guard Air Keypad Works

Connection to Gate Motors and Receivers

The keypad communicates wirelessly with the Centurion Smart Receiver, which then sends a signal to operate the gate or door. The receiver can be connected to:

  • Sliding gates (D3, D5, D10 series)

  • Swing gates (Vantage, R5 series)

  • Garage doors and electric locks

User PIN Setup and Management

You can program multiple PIN codes directly on the keypad or via the Smart Setup app, giving flexibility to add, modify, or delete users without accessing the control box.

Wireless Communication Range and Signal Reliability

The Smart Guard Air offers a wireless range of up to 30 metres (line of sight), ideal for most residential and commercial applications. Signal repeaters can extend the range further.
