Estate Swing Summary of Functions
The Estate Swing is only to be used for vehicular swing gates in a Class I setting.
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 Swing automated system was designed and built for controlling vehicle access. Do
not use for any other purpose.
The external automation with an electro-mechanical non-reversing linear arm automates resi-
dential swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 12’ in length. It consists of an irreversible electro-
mechanical 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 operat-
ing. A lock still needs to be installed if security or high winds are a concern. A manual release
makes it possible to move the gate in the event of a power-cut or fault.

Standard System Overview and Safety Zone
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 recommend-
ed for safety purposes.
1,2 Estate Swing Operator • 3 Photocells (not included) • 4 Control board • 5 N/A 6 Push but-
ton opening device (not included) • 7 Receiver extension (not included) • 8 24Vdc flashing
lamp (not included) • 9 Positive stop (not included) • 10 AC transformer
Notes: 1) When laying electrical cables, use appropriate rigid and/or flexible tube
2) Do not run any wires in the same conduit as 110 AC power that may be in
the area. This will cause danger of electrocution.
IMPORTANT: Preliminary Checks
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the follow-
ing 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.

Tools Needed for Installation
1.4
• Power Drill
• Crescent Wrench
• Flat Head Screwdriver
• Hacksaw/Sawzall
• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• Small Flathead Screwdriver
• C-Ring Pliers
• Tape Measure
• Level
• Wire Strippers
• C-clamps
• 3/8”, 1/4”, 5/16” Drill Bits
Other items may be needed prior to commencing installation. BOLDED items are necessary
to all applications.
• Positive post, bracket or door stop. Although the Estate Swing 300 / 302 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 pow-
er to your operator. 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 weather-
proof 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.
Protect all ingoing and outgoing wires with a surge suppressor.
Consult your local dealer for more information.

Below are 2 common examples of setback mountings.
These are not the only options for mounting.
A B Sum a
4 ¾" 5 ¼" 10 110°
5 ¼" 5 ¼" 10 ½ 100°
5 ½" 5 ½" 11 90°
Use one of the rows below:
There are 4 factors to keep in mind when finding the setback mounting:
1) The (A) measurement is perpendicular from the gate in the CLOSED position.
2) There must be clearance for your gate opener to attach to the gate in the closed position. This is most
commonly an issue on columns. Re-positioning of the hinges or Push-To-Open operation may be required
to achieve clearance.
3) The brackets do not and must not move after installation.
4) The "L" shape brackets can be mounted anywhere on the post or column. They can be mounted on a
separate post or fence as well. The only factor of importance is that when mounting of the brackets is
done the hole in the boomerang bracket that the gate opener mounts on matches the setback on this
page.
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 measure-
ments 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)
To determine the position of the gate mounting
bracket (above is for the post mounting brack-
et) refer to step 13 in the section “Installation of
Operator”

1. Locate the set back and boomerang bracket
templates found in the box to determine the
proper setback.
2. Find the proper setback for your operator (from
previous page). Hold the lower “L” shaped
bracket along with the boomerang bracket tem-
plate 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 set-
back position.
3. Trim boomerang bracket template, then dou-
ble check setback positioning. Using the tem-
plate, mark the boomerang bracket for cutting.
[See Fig. 2]
4. Cut off the excess length (if any) of the boom-
erang bracket using a sawzall or hacksaw.
CAUTION: Observe all safety precau-
tions recommended by manufacturer
of the cutting tool.
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 brack-
et. This will mark the position for the top of the
lower “L” shaped bracket. [See Fig. 5]

8. Place the lower “L” shaped bracket so the top of the
bracket is aligned with the bottom marking on the post.
Mark then drill and attach the bracket using 3/8” car-
riage bolts. [See Fig. 6]
Check “L” shaped bracket for levelness before putting
in the second bolt.
9. Place the upper “L” shaped bracket and the boom-
erang bracket on the lower “L” shaped bracket. Posi-
tion 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 wash-
ers. [See Fig. 8]
13. WITH THE GATE IN THE CLOSED POSITION measure 38”
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. [See Fig. 10]

IMPORTANT: Push-to-Open Operation
2.6
This operation is commonly used if your driveway slopes up after the gate, preventing
it from swinging in. This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the prop-
erty and pushes your gate out away from the property.
