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 FAAC Estate Swing automated system was designed and built for controlling
vehicle access. Do not use for any other purpose.
The EstateSwing automated system automates residential swing-leaf gates with
leaves of up to 12’ in length.
It consists of a locking electro-mechanical linear operator, powered by a 12V DC
battery, coupled with control board recharging the battery. The SLAVE equipment
(required on 2-leaf gates only) is controlled by the MASTER equipment to which
all accessories and pulse generators are connected. The MASTER card can be pro-
grammed and is used to set the following: function logics, work times (by self-
learning) and pause times, leaf speed, and the sensitivity of the anti-crushing de-
vice.
The locking screw drive system will automatically lock when the motor is not op-
erating. A release system enables the gate to be moved by hand in case of a system
failure.
Keep this manual safely stored after
installation.

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 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 fence post must be secured in the ground with concrete. This will prevent
alteration of alignments and leveling during installation and during cycles. 1.2

IMPORTANT: Charging Battery Prior to Use
Before beginning any electrical stages of installation we highly recommend charg-
ing the battery on the control board for 12 hours. This can be done anywhere there
is an outlet available.
1. Plug the battery into the control board (fig 1). For charg-
ing purposes it is not necessary to hook the receiver to
the battery or control board.
2. Insert the wires from the supplied AC transformer into terminal J2 of the Master
board which is to the left of the battery terminal and fuse (fig 2).
NEVER RUN 110V AC or POWER IN
THROUGH ANY OTHER METHOD BE-
SIDES THE PROVIDED TRANSFORMER
TO THE CONTROL BOARD.

3. For a Dual gate opener unit, charge the slave board by wiring it to the master
board terminal strip. [terminal 6 of the master must connect with the right side of
J2 on the slave and terminal 15 of the master must connect with the left side of
the slave] (fig 3)
NEVER CONNECT POWER FROM ANY SOURCE DIRECTLY TO
THE SLAVE BOARD. The slave board may ONLY be connected to the
Master control board.
Let the unit charge for 12 hours, after remove both the transformer power and the
battery. You can now proceed with the installation process.

To determine your 5” x 5” setback position measure from the center of the gate hinge back to-
wards the inside of the gate, perpendicular to the gate, 5”.
Then making a 90 degree turn in the direc-
tion of the post, parallel to the gate,
measure 5”.
We have included a setback card with the
measurements in with your operator.
This point will be your rear pivot point for
your opener arm. Position your mounting
bracket so one of the holes lines up with the
determined post pivot point.
3.1
IMPORTANT: 5” x 5” Setback
The 5” x 5” is a very important requirement to be aware of during installation of the
post mounting bracket. The 5” x 5” setback allows the operator arm to achieve
appropriate and equal leverage during opening and closing cycles.
The purpose of this page is to clarify and show examples of the 5”x5” setback.
Install the brackets according to the installation directions following this page.
Estate Swing

Installation of Mounting Hardware and Arm
3.2
1. Set up closed stop points for your gate.
The closed stop points can be a plate on
the end of the gate that comes in contact
with an adjacent post or an industrial door
stop. (Many gates need an extension piece
added to make contact with the doorstop.
Examples of stops
Examples of industrial
door stops
2. First clamp the “L” shaped post mounting bracket to the
post. The side with two holes, rectangular in shaped, should
be against the post.
3. Line up the center hole on the “tear” shaped post
mounting bracket with the hole on the on the “L” shaped
bracket. Insert the 3/8”x1” bolt and loosely affix the nut
and washer.
Estate Swing

3.3
4. Measure the 5”x5” setback that was elaborated on in the
beginning of this section.
7. Check your operator arm. The pin should be stopped on the front part of the operator arm. If
the pin is not, turn the manual release key in the front lock hole clockwise until it reaches the
front stop position.
Extend the operator pin in this manner ONLY. Any other method may damage the arm.
NOTE: The front stop position IS NOT THE FULL CLOSED POSITION, it is
the common point of reference for counting manual turns.
5. Using the rear hole on the “tear” shaped bracket, drill a
5/16” diameter hole in the “L” shaped bracket.
6. Inset the 5/16” bolt in the drilled rear hole. Tighten the
nuts on both bolts and leave the combined brackets
clamped to the post.

8. Insert the bracket bushing into the gate mounting bracket.
Inside the black bushing you will see a small bump,
this bump must be facing away from the post to
prevent binding.
9. Insert the manual re-
lease key and turn it 5
counter clockwise
turns.
This will position the front fitting on the operator arm in the correct position to fit into the bracket
bushing.
5 Counter Clockwise turns from end.
10. While holding
the front fitting in
the bracket bushing
and gate mounting
bracket, insert the
manual release key.
Turn the key clockwise until the front fitting reaches the front stop position.
The bracket bushing is now locked in position on the front fitting.
NOTE: The front stop position IS NOT THE FULL CLOSED POSI-
TION, it is the common point of reference for counting manual tur ns.
Turn Clockwise to end as a common point of reference.
11. NOTE: Returning to
the common point of ref-
erence during the last
step is important for ac-
curacy in this step.
From the front stop posi-
tion turn the manual release key counter clockwise 3 turns. This will be the mounting
position.
3 Turns Counter Clockwise - This is the correct Closed Gate mounting position.
Important - Please adhere to this step

8. Insert the threaded rear fitting into the already clamped
post mounting bracket.
9. Position the gate mounting bracket on a cross member of
the gate suitable for supporting the arm and bracket with the
gate in the FULL CLOSED POSITION pressed firmly
against the closed stop. Use a second C-clamp to hold it in
place.
10. Check the levelness of your operator on the Bottom
of the arm. Do not use the top to check levelness as it
is a sloped surface. Make the appr opriate adjust-
ments, and check your setback one last time to be sure
the positioning did not shift during leveling.
11. In order to remove your operator arm from the gate mount-
ing bracket for marking and drilling, the manual release key
will need to be turned counter clockwise for 2 turns.
IMPORTANT - During this procedure let the gate move
with the turning of the manual re-
lease key. DO NOT let the gate
mounting bracket slip from its
positioning or you will have to start
again at step 6.
Turn Counter Clockwise
at least 2 turns.

12. Remove the operator arm from the brackets. Leaving the brack-
ets clamped in place mark your holes. If you are bolting your brack-
ets in place, remove the mounting brackets and drill the marked
holes using a power drill with a 3/8” drill bit for the post and 1/4”
drill bit for the gate.
Tip: Using a level on top of the drill as a guide helps you to keep
your holes level. Lift up on arm
13. Attach the mounting brackets either using a carriage bolt or lag bolt with a washer on both
sides of the structure and a nut on the back side of the structure or by welding. Always take the
proper precautions, protective eyewear, etc. when drilling or welding.
14. After properly affixing the mounting brackets insert the arm
fittings into the mounting brackets. Using the provided nut and
washer on the bottom of the threaded rear fitting attach the arm to
the post mounting bracket.
15. With the arm pin still turned 5 turns from the end position,
insert the pin in the gate mounting bracket and bushing. With
the front fitting in the gate mounting bracket and bracket
bushing, turn the manual release key clockwise 2 turns until
the gate reaches its full closed position.

1. The control box must be mounted near your actuator arm.
The wire on the back of the actuator arm cannot be shortened or
lengthened.
Keep you control box in a location at least 3 feet off the ground to avoid
water buildup.
2. Level your box and mark your mounting holes. The
holes are located in four corners of the control box
(fig 1).
3. After marking your holes drill them and attach the
control box to the post.
4. There are three separate knockouts on the bottom of the
control box. Find a water-tight connector at your local
hardware store that will fit one of the knockout as well
as fit all of your wires through it. Remove the neces-
sary knockout in the bottom of the box and affix a
watertight connection (fig 2).
