Estate Swing Summary of Functions
Estate Slide Summary of Funcons
The Estate Slide is only to be used for vehicular Slide gates in a Class I seng.
Class I: A vehicular gate opener (or system) intended for use in a home of one-to-four single family
dwelling, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
The Estate Slide automated system was designed and built for controlling vehicle access. Do not use
for any other purpose.
The Estate Slide automated system automates residenal Slide-leaf gates with leaves of up to 18’ in
length.
It consists of a locking electro-mechanical linear operator, powered by a 24V AC transformer, coupled
with control board that switches the voltage to DC to power the motor. The MASTER card can be pro-
grammed and is used to set the following: funcon logics, work mes (by self-learning) and pause
mes, leaf speed, and the sensivity of the an-crushing device.
The locking system will automacally lock when the motor is not operang. A release system enables
the gate to be moved by hand in case of a system failure.

Standard System Overview and Safety Zones
The system display below is a recommended standard system. Other approved accessories can be in-
stalled.
Photo sensors and a ashing light indicang gate movement is recommended for safety purposes.
1) Estate Slide Operator 2) Photocells (not included) 3) Key operated pushbuon (not included) 4)
Flashing lamp (not included) 5) Radio receiver (oponal)
NOTES:
1) Do not extend operator connecon cables
2) When laying electrical cables, use appropriate rigid and/or exible tube
3) Do not run any wires in the same conduit as 110 AC power that may be in the area.
This will cause unwanted interference
Important Preliminary Checks:
To ensure safety and an eciently operang automated system, make sure the following condi-
ons are observed.
•The gate and post must be suitable for being automated. Check that the structure is suciently
strong and rigid, and its dimensions and weights conform to those indicated in secon 1. In parcu-
lar, wheel diameter must be in relaon to the weight of the gate to be automated. Dimensions and
weight must match those indicated in the technical specicaons.
•Make sure the leaves move smoothly without any irregular fricon during enre travel.
•The soil must permit sucient stability for the expansion plugs securing the foundaon plate.
•Check if the upper guide and travel limit mechanical stops are installed.
We advise you to have any metalwork carried out before the automated system is installed.

•Low voltage wire will be required to run power to your operator. See the power page for
specicaons.
•If the gate is more than 144’ from an a/c power supply then an electrician will be required
to move a supply closer.
•Depending on the current base, you may need cement to form a level mounng pad.
•A voltage meter may be necessary to run diagnosc checks.
•A digital camera will come in handy with technicians if any support is needed.

Manual Operation
4
1. Key release the lever.
2. Li the lever to disengage the gears.
3. The motor will not run again unl the motor is relocked. There is a magnec sensor that allows
the motor to operate, be sure the magnet is lined up with the sensor.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual
Creating Mounting Slab
5
1. Determine the height of your concrete pad based upon how high the gate is from the ground and where the
belt can be mounted to the gate. The minimum height from the top of the slab to the belt is 10”.
2. Pour a concrete pad for your opener to bolt to. Levelness of the pad is important. For convenience place a
piece of conduit that runs up the center of the pad and the other end is easily accessible.
3. Aer the foundaon has dried, use 7/16 concrete anchors aach the opener to the base.
NOTE: The gate opener can be placed on the le or right of the driveway. The diagram below is for being
placed on the le side of the driveway (if you are standing on the inside of the property looking out)
Mount Base
* Pad can be larger/closer to gate as long as opener is mounted at correct distance from the gate.
** Dimension can be greater if spacers are used to oset gate brackets from rear face of gate.
Spacers will need to be (Base distance from gate) - 31/8 = Spacer Width.
Concrete Slab Tips: Creang a wood rectangle with no top is a good way to form a slab. Aer the cement
dries the wood can be knocked away. The slab must be secured to the ground below. Having rebar pass into
the slab works well.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual
Securing the Operator
6
If the height of the operator from the slab ever has to be adjusted, nuts can be inserted just on the
threads between the anchor and the boom of the opener—the opener can be moved up the
threading and the operator can rest on the nuts.
Feed any wires up through the opener while installing the opener to the base.

Horizontal posion of gate bracket: The hole in the gate brack-
et should be mounted on the gate so it is centered with the
idler gears horizontally. Depending on how close you mounted
the gate opener from the rear face of the gate you may need to
shim your bracket to make it protrude o the back of the gate
more to achieve this.
Vercal posion of gate bracket: The hole in the gate bracket
should be level with the top of the idler gears when mounted
on the gate.
Aer idenfying the correct height for the gate bracket, bolt
the bracket to your gate frame using the three mounng holes.
The at side with a single hole should be facing in toward the
center of the gate.
On one side of the gate lay the belt into the belt aachment
bracket so the teeth of the belt mesh the teeth of the bracket.

Lay the top of the belt bracket on the belt. It has two holes
in it. Mark and drill two holes in the belt . Then put the
bolts through the bolt bracket assembly to hold the brack-
et to the belt.
Aach the assembled belt bracket to the belt
aachment bolt.
Run the belt over the idlers and under the mechanized
gear with the belt teeth facing up.
Repeat gate bracket and belt bracket steps on the other
side of the gate to aach the other end of the belt to the
gate. The belt may need to be cut down to be ght if you
gate is not 15 feet long including tail. Do not cut the belt
unl you have run the belt through the gears to account
for the length needed for this.
Make your nal ghtening adjustments on the belt. The
belt should not have excessive sag in it (no more than 2
inch variance from furthest bracket to opener). To ghten
the belt aer mounng, move the nuts on the belt aach-
ment bolt.

Find the correct height for the limit magnet to nd
the mounng spot from the gate. This should be done
in conjuncon with the next step of adjusng the hor-
izontal distance the limit switch protrudes from the
side of the unit. The distance from the limit magnet
to the limit switch should be under 1 inch.
Adjust the limit switch horizontally to match up with
the limit magnet. The distance between the two
should not exceed 1 inch.
Mount your limit magnet on the provided piece of at
bar. The at bar is intended to be aached to your
gate at the correct height to trigger your limit switch
in the gate’s OPEN posion. There are many ways to
aach the at bar to your gate so the bar is le un-
drilled and unpainted for best suing it to your style
gate.
Example: In the photo the gate is picket style, in this
case we would use self tapping metal screws to
aach the bar to the pickets. Then we would paint
the at bar black.

Power
The Estate Swing E-S 500 comes with 1) 24V transformer. The transformer supplied has 2
screw terminals to connect to. You may locate the transformer up to 200’ away from the
control board using 16 gauge, 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire. Do not
use solid core wire.
Allow a
minimum of 4’
of wire
between the
transformer
and the control
board.
Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing. This
will destroy the Estate Swing control board. Never plug in the
transformer when the wires are not connected to the board. Contact
between the two lead wires will destroy the transformer.
Connect the wire (not provided) from the transformer to the provided crimp on spade connectors
and connect to the control board marked TRAN. There is no polarity.
Plug the transformer into a 110 V AC outlet.
The transformer is not weather proof and must be kept in a covered area. Plug covers are available
from home stores.
Two 12V DC batteries (min 5 a/h per battery) may be run in series as backup to the 24V transformer
power.
When you install new batteries - manually open the gate and allow the batteries to charge for 24
hours through the system before using the gate opener.

1. LED shows P1: P1 is for setting your run time. The run time exists to allow to
have the P2 slow down setting. This should always be set at least 5 seconds longer than
it takes to open and close. This will allow the gate to go the full motion when moving
slower on cold or windy days. If the number of P1 is reached on the counter during a
cycle prior to reaching the limit switch the gate will stop on the number. The options are
0-99 sec-onds.
2. LED shows P2: P2 is for setting your slow down time. The gate opener will
slow down to partial speed after the counter has reached the setting of P2. If you wish
to have the gate open and close faster make the slow down start time a higher number.
If you want to put less stress on the gears and gate set the slow time lower number.
The options will adjust to match the previously set run time.
3. LED shows P3: P3 is the force setting. the lower the number the easier the gate
will reverse directions when it meets resistance. This number may have to be changed
to a higher setting if your gate is obstructing unexpectedly. The number should be set to
the highest number during initial setup and reduced to the point of reliable operation
that takes into account change in gate resistance through out the year. The options are
0-32.
4. LED shows P4: P4 is for setting a delay between leafs. if you have overlapping
gates or a gate lock. The motor wired into the primary terminals (1) opens first if there
is a delay and closes second. It is recommended to have a delay of 3 seconds to avoid
any jam-ming issues between leafs.
5. LED shows P5: P5 is the release for the gate lock – this option determines the
length of time 24VDC will be sent out of terminals E_LOCK. The options are 1-4
seconds.
6. LED shows P6: P6 is the delay for automatic re-close from the open position –
this op-tion needs to be turned on using the dip switch on the board. The options are 0-99
sec-onds.
