Estate Swing Summary of Functions
The Estate Swing is only to be used for vehicular swing gates in a Class I
setting.
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 Swing automated system was designed and built for controlling vehicle access. Do
not use for any other purpose.
The external automation with articulated arms automates residential swing-leaf gates with
leaves of up to 16’ in length, and is ideal for applications on large pilasters without the need
to provide niches (sometimes required to observe the installation dimensions of piston driven
devices). It consists of an irreversible electro-mechanical operator with guard and an
articulated-arm activation system to be fitted to the gate with the appropriate accessories. The
irreversible system ensures the gate is mechanical locked when the motor is not operating. A
lock still needs be installed if security of high winds are a concern. A manual release makes it
possible to move the gate in the event of a power-cut or fault.
Keep this manual safely stored after
installation.

Standard System
Overview and Safety Zones
A standard system includes the provided
components of the gate opener. It also should
include safety and security accessories, such
as photo cells or safety loops, that are right
for the individual installation (not included).
IMPORTANT
Preliminary Checks:
To ensure a safe and efficient 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 leaves move smoothly without any irregular friction during entire
travel.
Make sure the hinges are in good condition. Ball bearing hinges are ideal 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 the
gate from shifting during installation.

Tools Needed
Other items that may be needed prior to commencing installation.
Start and stop post, bracket or door stop. Although the Estate Swing E-SC 1600 features soft start/stop and
uses limit switches, it is still best to have the gate(s) close against positive stops.
16, 14 or 12 gauge, 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire will be required to run power
to your operator. Length is determined by distance between tr ansfor mer power supply and the control
box.
A voltage meter and digital camera may be necessary to run diagnostic checks.
Hardware to attach control box to fence or column.
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.
Protect all ingoing and outgoing wires with a surge suppressor. Consult your local dealer for more
information.

Installation of Operator
The operator base plate and articulated arm are designed either for right-handed or
left-handed installation. The drive shaft should always be closest to the driveway.
1. Utilizing the center of the drive shaft hole in the base plate, find your
correct setback from the previous page. The base plate can be
mounted with the mounting flange facing up or down (see right).
2. Secure the base plate to the column using screws and a proper
anchoring system for your type of column material. If using the
provided anchors drill holes using a 5/8” concrete bit and a hammer
drill. For added strength we suggest filling the hole with epoxy prior
to hammering in the anchor.
3. Fit the gear motor back onto the base plate and secure it with 4 long
bolts.
Important: The transmission shaft must always face down-
ward.

5. Attach the straight arm on the motor drive shaft spline and secure it in place
6. Manually release the operator and swing the arm assembly so the gate bracket
is on the gate in the closed position. The arm should be almost straight with a
slight bend in the elbow of the arm assembly.
7. Ensure the arm is level and attach the gate bracket using the 5/16 bolts.
Once the bolts are attached the remainder can be cut off.
8. Relock the operator and assemble the motor housing.

This portion of the manual will explain how to create an
easy conduit for the wires for dual gates.
This is what you would need to get started:
-Narrow shovel.
-¾’ water pipe no more that 5’ in length (you would need a
total number of pipes that would equal your driveway width
plus 1’)
-¾’ electric rigid pipe couplings (one for each joint in the
water pipe)
-1 ¾’ “Tee”
-1 ¾’ Plug.
-1 ¾’ male galvanized pipe X female hose fitting (usually
in Brass)
-Large hammer.
All the above items could be found in a local home supply
store.
Dig a trench perpendicular to the driveway approximately 6
to 8 inches deep and 6’ long.
Hook up a typical garden hose assembled to the first length
of pipe as shown.
Turn on water and push the pipe under the driveway,
matching the pitch of the driveway. If you hit a rock use the
hammer to force the pipe past the rock.
Attach additional pieces of pipe to the initial length by
removing the tee and using the coupling to add the
additional length of pipe, reassemble the tee and repeat the
above steps until only 6 inches of pipe is sticking out from
under the driveway. On the opposite side of the driveway
look for a wet spot or water bubbling up, dig to find the end
of the pipe.
Easy Wiring Under Driveway

For Your Convenience
The green terminal strips on the control board are easily removed for wiring. Simply pull straight out on
the terminal strip to remove it from the board. It will slide right off. Slide it back on when you are fin-
ished with your wiring connections.
Be sure you are placing your wires in the terminal
block correctly.
Take the terminal block off of the control board to insert
wires. Hold with screw terminals facing upward.
Turn the screw counter-clockwise to open the terminal and
clockwise to close the terminal.
The terminals come closed. Be sure not to mistake this for
open and insert the wires below the terminal clamp. This
will lack the conductivity to complete the circuit.

If you are not using a safety device like a photo
eye or safety loop the Photocell terminal must
remain jumped to the GND terminal.
Dip Switches—To change any dip switches, you must turn the power off
before changing the setting.
ON: Auto-close on (the gate will re-close from
the open position after a time set in the
programming section)
OFF: Auto-Close off
ON: Dual gate opener (2 motors)
OFF: Single gate opener (1 motor)

Power
The Estate Swing E-SC 1600 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.
Using the provided wire nuts, connect the wire (not provided) from the transformer to the two yellow
wires on the control board marked TRAN. There is no polarity.
Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing.
This will destroy the Estate 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 (shorting, surge, water, etc) has
caused the transformer not to function.
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 your
dealer, contact 1-800-640-GATE for a dealer in your area.
Two 12V DC batteries (Max 5 a/h per battery) may be run in series as backup to the 24V transformer power.
Running two 12V batteries in series creates a 24V system, you cannot run them in parallel (see diagram above)
When you install new batteries - manually open the gate and allow the batteries to charge for 12 hours through
the system before using the gate opener.

Operating Parameters Customization
1. LED shows P1: P1 is for setting your run time. The run time will be determined from the
time you had determined during the set up of the limit switches. Take that determined run time
and add 1 second. So if it takes 10 seconds to get from closed to open between limit switches;
set the run time to 11 seconds. The options are 0-99 seconds.
2. LED shows P2: P2 is for setting your slow down time. The gate opener will slow down to
half speed after the time set on P2 expires. If you wish to have the gate open and close faster
make the slow down start time a longer period of time. If you want to put less stress on the
gears and gate set the slow time shorter to slow the momentum sooner. The options will adjust
to match the previously set run time. NOTE: motor must be in slow down to detect limits—be
sure this number does not exceed the time the motor take to move from one limit to the other.
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
sec-ond. It is recommended to have a delay of 3 seconds to avoid any jamming 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 option
needs to be turned on using the dip switch on the board. The options are 0-99 seconds.

Estate Swing 433 Plug-in Receiver
1. With the red plug already inside the control box, run the
grey receiver wire out of the box through one of the
water tight connections. DO NOT PERFORM THIS
STEP WITH THE RED PLUG ATTACHED TO THE
CONTROL BOARD.
2. Find a location for the receiver box on the gate post or a
fence post that is within the length of the receiver wire.
3. Using a #6 screw attached the top of the receiver to the
post. If you are happy with this position use the small
provided set screw in the bottom hole to secure the
receiver in place.
4. Attach the receiver wire to the terminals as seen below.
Please note that you will find a factory installed jumper
wire connected on the receiver. Leave this jumper wire
in place. One of the terminals that has the jumper wire
will have the 2nd from the bottom added to the terminal.

5. Plug the red clip inside the control box into the
control board. The groove in the red clips should
snap into the guide on the 5 prong connector.
6. The red power light should come on the receiver.
7. Program your remotes to the receiver:
A. Press and release the LEARN1 button at the
top of the receiver board (ex 1). The learn LED
will illuminate steady (ex 2). (Fig 1)
B. Press and hold the button on the remote you
wish to program to the receiver.
C. Hold the remote button until the Learn LED
flashes and then turns off. (caution your gate
opener may be triggered during this process)
D. Repeat A through C for all additional remotes.
Fig. 1
NOTES ABOUT REMOTES:
You can program up to 400 codes into the receiver. This could mean 1 button on 400
different remotes or this could mean all 4 buttons on 100 remotes or anything in between.
Some choose to program all 4 buttons to a single receiver if they are not using multiple
gates to eliminate pressing the incorrect button on the remote. To do so follow the pro-
gramming above with each button of the remote. You can erase all programmed codes
by holding Learn 1 until the Learn LED comes ON and then turns OFF.
8. Put the cover on the receiver and secure it in place using the provided screw.
IMPORTANT: The receiver is a drip proof receiver. This means that it is
designed to prevent water from accessing the inside of the receiver when the water
is moving downward with gravity (rain for example).
DO NOT mount the receiver anyplace that water may access it from another
angle. For example: Do not mount near sprinklers. Do not mount the receiver
horizontally. Do not mount the receiver near a flat surface where water could
splash upwards.
