INTRODUCTION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Congratulations on purchasing your DURASWING gate operators. D.A.C.E has proven to be a
leader in the automation field and strives to manufacture high quality products using the latest
technology available. D.A.C.E is constantly working on upgrading their products to bring you, the
customer, a product of the highest quality. Other products manufactured include:
• Slide gate operators SOLO; CONDO; CONDO AC/DC; COMPACT 300 & 500
• Infrared beams DuraOptics
• Remotes & receivers DuraTronic
• Vehicle detection loop DuraLoop
It is recommended that an experienced gate installer is used to install your gate operator. If you intend
to install this operator yourself, please read this manual carefully before any installation begins.
It is strongly recommended that DuraOptics safety beams are used on all installations, as this re
duces the risk of the gate closing on a pedestrian or vehicle.
It is also recommended that a theft deterrent bracket is installed to deter any tampering with the opera
tor.
NOTE : D.A.C.E. supplies an on board receiver with every operator. D.A.C.E. cannot guarantee the
range of the receiver due to interference or obstacles in the path of the receiver. Should more range
be required, it is recommended that an external DuraTronic receiver be used.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Before insta ing these DURASWING
DURASWINGDURASWING
DURASWING operators p ease read the fo owing:
There are a number of different methods of installing swing gate operators. The main factors that influ
ence the installation are as follows.
• Direction the gate/s swing:
Inward swing method — the gates are pulled open towards the operators.
Outward swing method — the gates are pushed open away from the operators.
The above two methods are normally determined by the type of gate and / or slope of the driveway.
• Mounting method:
Pedesta mount — a steel pedestal is buried in the ground and the operator is mounted on top of the
pedestal.
Wa mount — a steel wall mount bracket is bolted to the wall / pillar and the operator is mounted on
to the bracket.
Before installation begins the gates must be in good working order. Check the following points and
rectify if not in order before installing the operators:
• The gates must swing easily ie the gate must swing through the full arc using the force of two
fingers only.
• The gate posts must be solid and the hinges must be in good working order.
• Ensure the gates comply with the operator specifications.
NOTE: Fully cladded wooden or fibreglass gates can be problematic in windy conditions.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
• Auto-c ose: allows gate to close automatically after a selected time period.
• Pedestrian access: allows only partial opening of the gate and will auto close after 6 sec
onds.
• Party mode: this allows autoclose to be overridden as required.
• Mu ti-user mode: commonly used in a town house/complex situation. The gate will open
completely, regardless of any other trigger received to prevent accidental closure.
• Co ision sensing: in the event of a collision while closing, the gate will stop and then re
open. If collision occurs while opening, the gate will stop.
• Battery: 12 volt 7 amp/hour, operates the operator.
• Charger modu e: the on board charger receives 16 VAC from the transformer and then deliv
ers a trickle charge to maintain ± 13.4 VDC charge to the battery.
• Transformer: the transformer reduces the mains power (230V) to 16 VAC. NOTE! The cable
to be used from the transformer to the main PC board must be a minimum of 1.5mm cable.
DO NOT use communications cable.
• Main PC Board: this is the printed circuit board that contains all the electronic components
that operate the operator. NOTE! Always remove the power from the PC board before con
necting any out put wires.
• Receiver: receives a signal from the transmitter and triggers the operator.
• Remote/Transmitter: usually a hand held product which transmits a signal to the receiver.
• Intercom: there are many types of intercoms available. An intercom allows communication
between the gate and the house. Most intercoms have trigger buttons to operate the gate.
• Test button: found on the main PC Board and is used to activate the operator. Used during
the programming of the operator.
• Limit switch: stops the operator when the rotor activates the switch.
• Limit switch rotor: is a cam shaped rotor that is connected to the main shaft. The rotor turns
with the shaft and activates the limit switch in order to stop the operator.

CONNECTING A VEHICLE DETECTION LOOP ON A SWING GATE OPERATOR
A vehicle detection loop is used to automatically open the gates when a vehicle approaches (most
commonly in the exit direction). The following instructions are for a DuraLoop Vehicle Detector. Note
that whatever product is used it is important to follow the manufacturers installation instructions as
these may differ from one product to another.
It is extremely important that the loop is placed in such a way that the vehicle that triggers the loop is
not in any way within the opening arc of the gates as this will cause damage to the vehicle if the gates
strike the vehicle.
An external status LED can be connected to the main PC Board. This LED will indicate the status of
the gate. The LED can be fitted to the intercom or any other convenient place.

All cabling should be in conduit a minimum of 300 mm underground. Ensure that any high voltage
(230V) cables are run in separate conduit.
The transformer should be placed inside the house and then 16 VAC run to the charger module in the
operator. The cable used to run the 16 VAC power should be 1.5 mm three core cable. Do not use
communication cable.
Alternatively a registered electrician can run 230V power to the gates and the transformer can be
housed inside the gate operator.

CONNECTING A MAG LOCK/LIGHT RELAY BOARD - (DOUBLE SWING ONLY SA041)
A magnetic lock can be set up on a double swing gate to provide extra security. Check the manufac
turers specifications before installing a magnetic lock. In order for the magnetic lock to operate on the
DuraSwing gate motor, a D.A.C.E Mag Lock Card (SA141) must be connected to the main PC Board.
The Mag Lock card will delay the opening of one leaf of the gate for 2 seconds. The power supply to
the Mag Lock must not be taken from the motor battery or the PC Board as this will result in a flat
battery or malfunction of the PC Board. The Mag Lock Card can also turn pillar lights on when a trig
ger is received. Pillar lights should only be connected by a registered electrician.

WIRING TWO SETS OF INFRARED SAFETY BEAMS (DuraOptics)
Covers must be in place when beams
are active. Ensure that the correct
cover is placed onto each beam after
setup otherwise failure to do so may
result in faulty operation of the
beams.
Ensure that number 2 dipswitch is set
“OFF” after connecting the beams.

MAIN PC BOARD LAYOUT
NOTE: The PC Board is a delicate piece of electronic equipment. Take care when connecting or dis
connecting any wiring from the board. Ensure that ALL power is removed before any wiring connec
tions are done on the board, failure to do so may damage the board. Do not reverse the battery
polarity as this will cause serious damage to the PC board. Do not spray any type of insecticide or
lubricant spray onto the board as this may cause damage. Never touch the board with any metal ob
jects (screwdrivers etc). Do not attempt to repair the board in any way, take the board to a recognized
D.A.C.E. dealer for any repairs needed.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
If the intention is to run 230V (high vo tage ) to the motor, it is strongly recommended that the local
E.C.A. (Electrical Contractors Association) is contacted in the area before any wiring is done to obtain
the local requirements regarding electrical wiring regulations. Running 230V must be done by a regis-
tered electrician, failure to do this may lead to legal action in the case of electrical shock.
Furthermore it is illegal to run 230V and communication (intercom) cables in the same conduit.
D.A.C.E. recommends that the transformer is removed from the motor and plugged into an outlet
socket inside the house. This means that the power running to the operators is 16 VAC and does not
require an electrician to install it. All wiring must be sealed in conduit and buried underground. (DO
NOT connect to pool pump that uses a timer or to pillar lights with a day night sensor. This will result in
a flat battery).

WIRING FROM TRANSFORMER TO CHARGER
To connect the power supply, run a three core 1.5mm cable from the transformer to the main PC
board in the master operator. The 16 VAC output on the transformer must be connected to the 16 V
input on the main PC Board. The remaining wire must be connected from the E on the transformer to
the earth wire on the main PC Board. (see diagram). Alternatively the green earth wire must be con
nected to an earth spike buried in the ground.
DO NOT USE COMMUNICATION CABLE FOR POWER!!
ELECTRICAL WIRING cont.
Place the cable in conduit a minimum of 300mm underground. The cable must be a minimum of
1.5mm three core cable. Ensure that the conduit is waterproof. Do not use communication type cable
for the power supply. Do not join cables underground.
Failure to wire the transformer
correctly will result in the
transformer being damaged.

CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL RECEIVER
When connecting any auxiliary equipment to the PC Board ensure that all power is removed
from the PC Board.
PEDESTRIAN OPERATION: A separate receiver, keyswitch or keypad must be connected to operate
the gate in the pedestrian mode. The connection is done in the same manner as the diagram above
with the exception of the TRIG connection. Instead of TRIG to N/O it must be PED on the main PC
Board to N/O.
In pedestrian mode the gate will open partially and then close automatically after 6 seconds.
To program remotes to the receiver:
1. Press and hold the button on the remote.
2. Place the jumper over the two TX LEARN pins for 1 second.
3. Remove the jumper.
4. Release the button on the remote.
Repeat the above steps for each remote to be programmed.
A DuraTronic external receiver can be connected to the PC Board. This will be necessary if there are
more than 15 remotes to be used or if the range of the on board receiver is not sufficient.
The DuraTronic external receiver can hold 128 remotes. The DuraTronic receiver should be mounted
outside the operator housing for increased range.

MOUNTING THE OPERATORS
The operators can be mounted either as a Wall Mount and Pedestal Mount.
The diagrams below show the two types of mounting.
When a Wall Mount is used it is recommended that normal coach screws and plugs are used to se
cure the wall mount to the wall.
For a Pedestal Mount a 400mm square hole must be dug (per pedestal) and then filled with concrete
and the pedestal placed in the centre. Do not mount the operators until the concrete is fully cured.

PEDESTAL MOUNT
Some points to remember:
• Measurements given for the mounting positions are guidelines only and should be used as
such.
• Each installation will vary slightly.
• To establish the correct position of the operators they should be held temporarily in position
with the crank arms loose on the shaft, the gates can then be opened and closed by hand to
ensure that they are in the correct position.
• For a Pedestal Mount the pedestal must be placed in the centre of a hole 400mm square
and the hole then filled with concrete. The concrete must be set completely before the opera
tors are mounted on the pedestals.
• When wall mounts are to be used, the wall mount should be mounted using coach screws and
plugs.
• In certain cases such as outward swing on wall mounts, the wall mount may need to be al
tered in order to make the wall mount completely secure on the wall.. (see pg 15).
When outward swing gates are setup the operators will protrude into the driveway by 155mm
on each side of the driveway. Any attempt to mount the operators in any other manner will
cause operational problems with the gates.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
PARTY MODE: or Auto close override. This function is normally used when higher than normal traffic
volumes are expected and one does not wish to repeatedly open the gate.
To operate the party mode set up, push and hold the gate’s trigger button until the gate starts to open.
Release the trigger. The gate will now stay open until it is reset into normal operating mode.
To reset the gate into normal operating mode, push the gate’s trigger button twice within three seconds.
The gate will now operate as normal.
OVERCURRENT SENSING: the PC Board is designed to detect overcurrents. This means that if the gate
hits an object or is obstructed it will see an increase in the current and the gates will stop driving.
The results of the detected overcurrent will be different depending on what the gate is doing at the time of
the overcurrent.
• If the gate is closing and an overcurrent is detected the gate will stop and then re open.
• If the gate is opening and an overcurrent is detected, the gate will stop and will not move until it
receives another trigger or the auto close time is reached.
• If the gate senses an overcurrent 5 times in succession, the gate will stop working regardless of
any trigger. To reset the gate the AC power must be disconnected for 5 seconds then recon
nected. The gate will operate as normal as long as the obstruction has been removed.
Setting the overcurrent sensitivity:
The sensitivity can be adjusted dependent on gate’s requirements. It must be noted that if the sensitivity
is set too low, the gate will drive harder when an obstruction is encountered increasing the risk of injury or
damage to a vehicle/object. Before adjusting the sensitivity check that the gate is operating correctly i.e.
look for hinges that are rusted, branches or garden growth hindering operation etc.
There are two POTs found on the PC Board. One pot is to set the open sensitivity and the other is to set
the close sensitivity.
To decrease sensitivity (usually because a heavier gate is being automated or due to wear and tear over
time) use a small flathead screwdriver and turn the pot clockwise. The adjustment should be done in very
small increments, until the desired sensitivity is achieved. Use extreme caution when setting the pots as
this can cause severe injury or damage if the sensitivity is set too low.
To increase sensitivity (usually because a very light gate is being automated) turn the pot anti clockwise.
Take care not to set the pot too sensitive as this may cause the gate to overcurrent due to other external
forces such as wind etc.

TRG: this LED will flash once when a trigger signal has been detected.
If this LED is on solid it indicates a possible fault in one of the trigger wires i.e. intercom, receiver etc.
PED: this LED is the same as the trigger LED. It will indicate when a pedestrian trigger has been re
ceived.
LOOP: the connector is a dedicated input for slide operators and as such this LED is not active with
swing operators.
INF: this LED will switch off when a vehicle or pedestrian crosses the beam. If this LED is off continu
ously it indicates a possible fault with the beams or the wires that connect the beams.
LED/STAT: this LED has a number of functions and it displays the following:
Flashing once every two seconds = gate closed and AC power is connected.
Flashing once per second = gate moving.
On solid (no flashing) = gate open.
Off = AC (mains) power disconnected.
12/24V: this LED indicates that the 12 volt output is working. If this LED is off it indicates that the 3
amp resettable fuse has blown. In this case the power must be removed from the board and then re
connected to the board. This will reset the fuse and normal operation can continue.
CHARGE: this LED is on when the AC power (mains) is connected. If this light is not on the battery
will continue to operate the gate but will eventually run flat and the gate will stop working. This LED
must be on at all times.
OPEN: this LED is on when the gate is opening or is in the open position.
CLOSE: this LED is on when the gate is closing or is in the closed position.
REV: this LED flashes when the motor operates (for slide gate operators only).
LOW BATT: this LED indicates that the battery is low or flat. This is a red LED and will flash continu
ously until the battery is either recharged or changed.

DIPSWITCH SETTINGS
Auto close is an option that allows the gate to close automatically after a chosen time delay, this delay
can be from 10 to 70 seconds. Auto close is selected by using the dipswitches on the main PC Board.
Dipswitch numbers 6,7 and 8 are the auto close time select switches. The times are as follows.
6 off ; 7 off; 8 off = no auto-c ose
6 on; 7 off; 8 off = 10 seconds
6 off; 7 on; 8 off = 20 seconds
6 off; 7 off; 8 on = 40 seconds
6 on; 7 on; 8 on = 70 seconds
Any combination can be used to select the desired auto close time.
It is strongly recommended that DuraOptics safety beams are used when Auto-Close
is selected as this reduces the chance of the gate closing on an object and causing
injury or damage.

PC BOARD CONNECTIONS
The following connectors are found on the main PC Board:
GND: This connector is used as a common ground for all auxiliary equipment. (NOTE: THIS IS NOT
EARTH)
TRIG: This connector is the TRIGGER input, this will open /close the gate. This is normally used for
the receiver and /or intercom trigger (not for pedestrian mode)
PED: This connector is to accommodate a pedestrian trigger (optional). The opening distance is pre
set and can not be changed. When the pedestrian trigger is used the gate will open partially and will
close automatically after 6 seconds.
LOOP: This is a dedicated input for slide operators and is NOT active with swing operators. Please
see page 29 for instructions for connecting a Loop Detector for a swing motor.
INF: This connector is used to connect infrared beams (optional). If the gate is closing and the beam is
interrupted the gate will stop and reopen. If the gate is opening and the beam is interrupted it will have
no effect on the gate. (see wiring diagrams for more details on wiring infrared beams)
LED/STAT: This connector can be used to connect a remote Light Emitting Diode (LED), an optional
facility. The anode (+) must be connected to the LED connector and the cathode ( ) must be con
nected to the GND connector. The remote LED will give the same indication as the STATUS LED on
the PC Board.
12/24V: This connector is used to supply power to auxiliary equipment used i.e intercom; receiver;
infrared beams etc. This output has a resettable fuse for protection. (see wiring diagrams for more
details on wiring auxiliary equipment ). This is not to be used to power up a Magnetic Loc or
Stri e Loc .
Ensure that all power is disconnected from the P.C.BOARD before any connections are made.
Failing to do this will result in electrical shorts and major damage may occur to the PC BOARD.

Step1: place the jumper over the two pins called TX-E and count 4 flashes on the yellow LED on the
receiver.
Step2: remove the jumper.
Step 3: replace the jumper and count 2 flashes on the LED.
Step 4: remove the jumper.
Step 5: replace the jumper and count 4 flashes on the LED
The LED will now flash rapidly for one second to indicate that all remotes have successfully been
erased.
NOTE: The time between the jumper being removed and replaced on the pins
must NOT exceed 2 seconds.
To program remotes to the on board receiver complete the following steps. It is recommended that the
remotes are numbered in order of programming. This will assist with erasing any lost or stolen remote
at a later stage.
Step 1: press and hold the button that is to trigger this application on the remote. It is important that
this button is continuously held from step 1 through to 3.
Step 2: place the jumper over the two pins on the PC Board called TX- L for 2 seconds.
Step 3: remove the jumper from the two pins.
Step 4: release the button on the remote.
That particular button on the remote is now programmed to the receiver.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTES
If the remotes are not numbered all remotes will need to be erased and reprogrammed once again. If
all remotes are numbered it is possible to erase a single remote. The preceding remote is needed to
erase the required remote. For example remote number 6 will erase remote number 7 etc.
Step 1: place the jumper over the TX-E pins.
Step 2: press the button of the preceding remote.
Step 3: remove the jumper.
The remote will now be erased. The next remote to be programmed will take the place of the erased
remote. In this example it will take the place of number 7 and must be numbered as such.

WALL MOUNT : OUTWARD SWING
All OUTWARD swing installations require SHORT cran arms and LONG conrods.
When outward swing gates are setup the operators will protrude into the driveway by 155mm
on each side of the driveway. Any attempt to mount the operators in any other manner will
cause operational problems with the gates.
GATE IN OPEN POSITION
With the outward swing Wall
Mount method, the Wall Mount
Bracket must be modified and a
steel plate (not supplied) must be
bolted or welded to the bracket so
that it can be fastened on the
inside of the gate post.
This measurement is critical!
With the gate in the open position, the
distance between the centre line of the
Wall Mount Bracket and the inner face
of the gate must be 70mm.

WIRING THE SLAVE OPERATOR
Ensure that the cable is connected in the correct order. The cable must be connected from the PC Board
output labeled MOTOR 2, to the limit switch diodes on the slave operator. The cable that is connected to the
“A “output must be connected to the “A” input on the limit switch diodes. And the “B” output must be con
nected to the “B” input.
See diagram below.
Conduit must be run between the two operators with a 2.5mm cable from the master motor to the
slave motor. This cable is connected from the main PC Board on the master to the slave motor limit
switch diodes. Using thinner cable will result in a voltage drop across the driveway resulting in the
gates operating at different speeds (i.e the slave will move slower than the master).

SETTING THE LIMITS
There are two limit switches and a limit rotor in each operator. The function of these is to stop the
operators turning when the limit switch is struck by the rotor which is attached to the main shaft.
Before setting up the limit switches you have to establish the closing direction of the operators. The
operators should automatically drive to the closed position when first powered up but as each site is
unique it may not. Apply power to the motor and take note of the direction that the shaft turns.
NOTE: If it is determined that the operators are turning the correct way, continue to set up the
limit switches as shown below.
If the operators are turning the incorrect way you must reverse the motor wires. Follow the
instruction below before continuing to set up the limit switches.
In order to reverse
the motor direc
tion, reverse these
two wires.

DO NOT REVERSE
BATTERY CABLES
Remove the power. Reverse the motor wires at the limit diodes as shown above.
The operators should be running in the correct direction i.e. when the CLOSE LED is on the gates
must be closed and when the OPEN LED is on the gates must be open. Now proceed to set up the
limit switches.
Stand the battery up in a vertical posi
tion to allow for access to the limit rotor.
Apply the battery power.
The operators will automatically turn until the closed limit
is struck.
Before tightening the crank arms ensure that the gates are
set up correctly using the diagrams on pages 11 –15.
The gates must now be placed in the closed position and
the crank arms can now be tightened. (23mm spanner.) .
