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.

Tools Needed For Installation
3
• Power Drill
• Crescent Wrench
• Metal Drill Bits
• Hacksaw
• Flat Head Screwdriver
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Tape Measure
• Level
• Wire Strippers
• C-clamps
Other items that may be needed prior to commencing installaon:
• Cement, boards for a slab frame, and a trowel.
• 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.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual

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.

Auto Reclose, Left / Right Mode, Force
10
Dip switches and auto-reclose me must be set with both transformer and baery power o
to take eect.
The force of the motor is adjustable - Lowest means it will obstruct easier, highest means it will
exert more force on an object before obstrucng.
Motor Side: Le indicates the motor is mounted on the le hand side of the driveway, right is
if the motor is on the right side of the driveway.
The side is determined if you are standing on the outside of the property looking in facing the
opener.
The gate can be set to automacally reclose aer a certain period of me or work like a garage
door opener; where it goes open and stays open unl you press your remote to reclose it (OFF).
If auto reclose is on from the chart above adjust the me on the potenometer (seen below)
Clockwise is a longer pause me.

DIY Power Connection
11
1. The provided 24V DC baery is for back up, connect it to the pre-wired connector on the board be-
fore plugging in your transformer.
2. The Estate Swing E-SL 450BD comes with 1) 24V transformer. The transformer supplied has 2 yellow
wires to be spliced to low voltage wire . You may extend those wires and locate the transformer up
to 400’ away from the control board using 2 conductor stranded 16 gauge direct burial wire. The
transformer must be kept in a weather protected area and also in a
locaon that it cannot be tampered with by children or pets. It is be.
3. Connect the two wires form the transformer on the top and boom screw terminals on the white
connector on the side of the gate opener.
4. Plug the transformer into a 120 VAC outlet.
Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing. This will destroy the Es-
tate Swing control board. Never connect the power wire with the transformer
plugged in. Contact between the two lead wires, even for a second, will destroy
the transformer.
Transformers are only warranted if the internal fuse is not blown. If the fuse is blown an outside factor (shorng, surge, water, etc)
has caused the transformer not to funcon.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual
Temporary Safety Jumpers
12
For the highest level of safety, the Estate Swing systems are set up with Normally Closed safety ter-
minals. This means that in order for the gate opener to move these terminals must be closed either
through a safety device (recommended) or with jumpers. Temporary safety jumpers are installed in
the factory
It is recommended not to use any accessories unl setup and programming is complete.
NOTE: If not using safety devices the temporary safety jumper must remain in. In order for the
gate operator to move. Also in order for safety devices to funcon the safety jumpers must be re-
moved.
Troubleshoong Tip:
If the gate will only open and will not close - the safety jumper is not making a con-
necon between the two terminals. Even with a jumper in place, somemes metal
or wire loses its conducvity for various reasons. Please try to replace this jumper
and see if the problem is resolved.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual
Learning Closed Position
13
In this stage, your control board will memorize run me and where to stop in the
closed posion.
Manually release and close the gate; then lock it into gear.
This posion should be where you want the gate to stop
every me.
Using a screwdriver jump the pins on the lower right of
the board marked SET. LED1 will ash and the buzzer will
beep 3 mes.
Press the OPEN buon. The gate will go open and stop on
the limit magnet.
The gate will then move closed, stopping in the original
closed posion and then go back open again as a test
cycle. Programming is now done.
Note: If your gate moves further closed instead of open:
the motor side is incorrect.
• Remove baery and transformer power.
• Change dip switch number 3 to the opposite posion it is currently on.
• Reapply power and begin programming again.

E-SL 450BD Series Instrucon Manual
Setting Transmitters
14
Receiver
The receiver is built into the board. It can have up to 6 remotes programmed into the system. It has two types of
openings that can be programmed in - Full Open/Close and Pedestrian Open. Full opening is normal operaon of
the gate. Pedestrian opening will parally open the gate and stop. The gate can then be closed again by using the
full open/close.
Warning: gate opener may run immediately when programming is nished - do not program transmiers be-
fore programming run me.
Programming Full Open / Close Buon:
1. Choose a buon on the remote.
2. Press the LEARN buon and the LEARN LED will light up.
3. Press and hold the buon you have chosen for Full Open / Close on a remote unl the LEARN LED light goes
out.
4. Repeat with other remotes.
Programming Pedestrian Open Buon:
1. Choose a buon on the remote.
2. Press the LEARN buon TWICE and the LEARN LED will ash twice and then light up.
3. Press and hold the buon you have chosen for Full Open / Close on a remote unl the LEARN LED light goes
out.
4. Repeat with other remotes.
Erasing All Transmiers: Press and hold LEARN buon unl the LEARN LED ashes. You will then have to repro-
gram all remotes back in.

Cauon! Do not run 120V AC power direct to the board. This will cause permanent damage to
both boards and void your warranty. Cauon!
From Le to Right
• Hall: Counter that memorizes the open posion of the gate.
• FUSE: Check if gate comes in contact with obstacle during moon or aer electrical surge.
• MOTOR: The motor gets wired into this terminal. It is a DC motor and comes prewired.
• BATTERY: 24VDC - Baery provided with connector.
• LIGHT: This would power a 24VDC light during the moon of the gate.
• TRAN: NOT USED IN THIS APPLICATION.
• PUSH/GND: Between the push and ground terminal you would put any entry or exit accessory input. This
would be keypads, push buons, etc. It is a normally open circuit and when the circuit is closed momentarily it
makes the gate go into moon. The receiver is prewired in these terminals but more devices can be added in
parallel.
• OPEN/CLOSE/GND: OPEN and GRD is used for normally open devices you would like to only open the gate
from the closed posion. CLOSE and GND is used for normally open devices you would like to only close the
gate from the open posion.

Connued:
• LIMIT/LH: Prewired - this is where the limit switch and clutch switch are wired. Do not move.
• GND/PHOTO: Photo with the ground would be for safety device inputs like a loop or photo eye. It is a nor-
mally closed and when the circuit is broken the gate opener stops. If a safety device is not being used in this
terminal the operator must have a jumper ran from this terminal to the GND terminal in order to operate.
Note: GDN has the negave power for the receiver pre-wired into it. You can add more wires in parallel.
• V+: This is a very low 12VDC output only to be used with a photo cell - not for other accessories.
• +24V: This terminal puts out a constant 24V DC current for the receiver.
• PUSH BUTTON: Opens and Closes the gate.
• OPEN BUTTON: Opens the gate from the closed posion.
• CLOSED BUTTON: Used for programming and tesng.
• LEARN BUTTON: Used for programming remotes.

If you call in for technical support or warranty
support: before any control board or motor will be
permied to be sent in for tesng or warranty you
will be required to e-mail digital photos to the
technician.
This is done in your best interest to save unnecessary shipping expenses and me lost. Many
mes we can come up with soluons to issues by seeing pictures that relay informaon that is
impossible to relay through a phone conversaon.
