Estate Swing Summary of Functions
The Estate Swing is only to be used for vehicular swing gates in a Class I setting.
The Estate Swing automated system was designed and built for controlling
vehicle access. Do not use for any other purpose.
The external automation with an electromechanical non-reversing linear arm
automates residential dual swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 12 in length
per leaf. It consists of an irreversible electromechanical operator with built in
opening and closing limits and utilizes a worm screw system. The irreversible
system ensures the gate is mechanical locked when the motor is not
operating. A lock still needs to be installed if security or high winds are a
concern. Removal of the gate slide pin will manually allow the gate to be
opened.
E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual

Standard System Overview and Safety Zones
IMPORTANT: Preliminary Checks
E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual
1.3
The system displayed below is a recommended standard system. Other approved
accessories can be installed. Photo sensors and a flashing light indicating gate
movement is recommended for safety purposes.
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the
following conditions are observed.
 The gate and post must be suitable for being automated. Check that the structure
is sufficiently strong and rigid, and its dimensions and weights conform to those
indicated on page 1.
 Make sure the gates move smoothly without any irregular friction during entire
travel.
 Make sure the hinges are in good condition. Ball bearing hinges are necessary for
gates weighing over 200 lbs. or over 10 in length.
 Make sure the gate is plumb and level.
 The gate post must be secured in the ground with concrete. This will prevent
alteration of alignments and leveling during installation and during cycles.
Notes: 1) When laying electrical cables, use appropriate rigid and/or flexible tube
2) Do not run any wires in the same conduit as110 AC power that may be in the
area. This will cause danger of electrocution.

Other items may be needed prior to commencing installation. BOLDED items are necessary
to all applications.
 12V, 35Ah or higher deep cycle marine battery.
 Positive post, bracket or door stop. Although the Estate Swing 1000 features built in limit
switches it is highly recommended to have positive stops.
 16 gauge, 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire will be required to run power
to your battery. Length is determined by distance between transformer or solar power supply
and the control box.
4 - 3/8 Carriage Bolts will be needed to connect the 2 L shaped brackets to the post.
Length will be determined by the size of your posts.
 A metal support bracket may be needed to achieve the appropriate desired setback. The
metal support bracket will be bolted or welded to your post to give a larger amount of
space to mount the provided mounting bracket.
 A voltage meter and digital camera may be necessary to run diagnostic checks.
 If your transformer is going to be plugged into an outdoor outlet you will need to
weatherproof that outlet and transformer. Electrical boxes or plug covers can be obtained
from a local hardware store to accommodate both the plug and transformer.
 Hardware to attach the control box to a post or fence.
 Wire strain reliefs for running wires into control box.

This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the property and
pulls your gate in towards the property. If you are going to use push to open

instructions.

IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback
E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual
2.3
Below are 3 common examples of setback mountings & common mistakes made.
These are not the only options for mounting.
There are 3 factors to keep in mind when finding the setback mounting:
1) The measurements must be correct from the center of the hinge of the gate to the center of the hole
on the mounting bracket.
2) There must be clearance for your opener to attach to your gate in the closed position.
3) The brackets do not move or pivot after mounting, if you can achieve the setback and clearance
then bracket position is inconsequential.
It is best to C-Clamp brackets on and test arm movement clearance before permanently attaching
them.
Variations to the ideal setback can be made, so long as the total is less than the combined
measurements for the desired opening arc and the motor body is more than 2 inches away from the
gate in both the open and closed position. (setback variations significantly reduces the length and
weight capacity of the operator)

1. Locate the set back template found in the
box to determine the proper setback. Create a
template out of the boomerang bracket by
tracing it on a piece of cardboard.
2. Find the proper setback for your operator
(from previous page). Hold the lower L
shaped bracket along with the boomerang
bracket template against the post near the
hinge. [See Fig. 1]
Mark how much of the boomerang bracket you
will trim off on the template. The hole on the end
of the boomerang bracket should be in the
setback position.
3. Trim boomerang bracket template, then
double check setback positioning.
Using the template, mark the boomerang
bracket for cutting. [See Fig. 2]
4. Cut off the excess length (if any) of the
boomerang bracket using a sawzall or
hacksaw.
5. Using a measuring tape, measure vertically to
find the center of the horizontal mount on the
gate, then place a mark. [See Fig. 3]
6. Utilizing a level, measure from the center of
the horizontal mount of the gate to the post to
the get bracket position. Place a mark on the
post at this point. [See Fig. 4]
7. Temporarily position the gate bracket on the
post. Align the top of the gate bracket with the
marking created in the previous step. Make an
additional mark at the bottom of the gate
bracket. This will mark the position for the top of
the lower L shaped bracket. [See Fig. 5]
!CAUTION: Observe all safety
precautions recommended
by manufacturer of the
cutting tool.

top of the bracket is aligned with the bottom
marking on the post. Mark then drill and attach
the bracket using 3/8 carriage bolts. [See Fig.

Check L shaped bracket for levelness before
putting in the second bolt.
9. Place the upper L shaped bracket and the
boomerang bracket on the lower L shaped
bracket. Position the brackets in the setback
that is being used.
10. With the 3 brackets clamped together,
mark then drill the upper L shaped bracket in
place and attach it using 3/8 carriage bolts.
[See Fig. 7]
11. Drill through the center hole of the L
shaped set to penetrate the boomerang
bracket. Double check the setback on the
boomerang bracket.
12. Drill the set hole through all 3 brackets using
a 5/16 drill bit in an area behind the first hole.
Secure the hole with a 5/16 bolt and the
provided nuts and lock washers. [See Fig. 8]
13. WITH THE GATE IN THE CLOSED POSITION
measure 44 from the center of the hole on the
boomerang bracket to the center of the hole
on the gate bracket - this should be the position
of the gate bracket on the closed gate. [See
Fig. 9]
14. Additionally measure and mark the gate
mounting bracket so that it is vertically
centered on the horizontal bar.
15. To ensure that the gate mounting bracket is
leveled, secure one side of the bracket, check
for levelness, and secure the other side with
provided carriage bolts, nuts, and washers.
