Estate Swing Summery 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 external automation with geared motor automates residential swing-leaf gates
with leaves of up to 12’ in length, and is ideal for applications in which discretion
is of great importance as it is a completely underground unit. It has the ability to
be opened 180-degrees and works great with any type of gate mounting. The irre-
versible system ensures the gate is mechanical locked when the motor is not oper-
ating. 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.

To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following condi-
tions are observed.
•Set up physical stop points for full open and full closed. This is man-
datory for this operator.
•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. Position your gate for installation. There
are three different scenarios for gate po-
sitioning:
•If you have an existing gate with fixed
hinges, remove the gate and the bottom
hinge. If the gate cannot be removed,
place blocks under it’s bottom edge to
support it.
•If you have an existing gate with adjust-
able hinges, remove the bottom hinge,
slacken the top hinge and swing the leaf
around the axis of the top hinge (see pic-
ture to right).
•If you have a new gate to be installed, fit
the top hinge. If possible use an adjust-
able hinge.
2. Dig out a hole for the foundation box, depending on the nature of the ground it may be
necessary to cast a bed of quick-setting
concrete at the bottom of the hole to
avoid movement in the future.
3. Study the below diagrams carefully and
design your system to match the
diagrams. The center of the pivot
on the foundation box must be
perfectly aligned with the leaf’s
axis of swing.

4. After the foundation box is mounted according to the previous page, it is time to run PVC for
power and drainage. Lay down a PVC tube with a diameter of 1.38”. This tube will be used
for power and will lead to the
control box. Lay a second tube to
drain off rain water from the box
to the nearest drain.
5. Set the foundation box in concrete.

Important: Wait until the cement from the previous step is completely set before beginning this
stage of installation.
1. Assemble the release levers on the support bracket and fit
the bracket on the pivot in the foundation box, also in-
serting the ball bearing in between the bracket and pivot.
NOTE: Lubricate the ball bearing, but DO NOT
lubricate the release system for any reason.
2. Create a guide bracket for
your gate. The materials for
this piece do not come with
the unit. Every gate has
different dimensions and require different guide brackets.
The axis of rotation for the opener should match the axis of rotation for the gate. (Meaning the
center of the pivot in the foundation box must align with the center of the hinge of the gate.)
This may mean different positioning of the gate in the guide bracket. Below are examples of
guide bracket set ups.
3. Weld the guide bracket to the support bracket. Fit the gate into the guide bracket and put the
top gate hinge in place.
NOTE: Only weld the guide racket to the support bracket. Never weld the gate to
the guide or support bracket. This will ensure trouble free operation.

1. Open the gate leaf.
2. Place the operator on the fastening screws on the foundation box and fix it by using the sup-
plied nuts and washers.
3. The position of the motor must be as shown below. The pinion must be on the opposite side of
the leaves opening direction.
4. Manually close the leaf and fit the driving levers supplied, as seen below. Use the appropriate
lever for the degree of opening you will be using.
5. Lubricate pinions and the pivots of the two levers. NEVER lubricate the release
system.

1. The Estate Swing E-SC 1600 comes with 1) 24V transformer. The transformer sup-
plied has 2 screw terminals to connect to. You may locate the transformer up to 1000’
away from the control board using wire ratings as specified below.
2. Insert the two wires from the transformer into the two VAC terminals on the control
board (CN1). The wires are not polarized, there is no positive or negative. Do not
splice the power cable wire.
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.
3. Plug the transformer into a 110 V AC
outlet.
4. 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.
5. Two 12V DC batteries 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 to the left)
6. The power light located below the
+24V and –24V output terminals will be
on if the power is connected properly. If
the light is off then power through the
transformer is not functioning properly and
either the unit has no power or is on bat-
tery backup. The light stays off during bat-
tery backup.

Caution! Do not run 110V AC power direct to the board. This will cause permanent damage to both
boards and void your warrantee. Caution!
CN1 - Upper left hand corner of board, used for power and back up power.
•VAC - terminals. The input terminals for the supplied 24V transformer. Polarity is not an is-
sue for this terminal.
•+BAT, -BAT - terminals. Input terminals for the optional backup batteries. The battery
power coming in must be 24V DC. This can be achieved by running two 12V batteries in se-
ries. During normal operation, the unit keeps the batteries charged and the batteries begin op-
erating the unit if no power is being supplied through terminals VAC. Observe polarity on
these terminals.
•+24, -24 - terminals. Accessories needing constant 24V power should be attached to these
terminals following the correct polarity. (Example: Alternate receiver, exit wand)
Continued on following page.

CN2 - Located on the lower left side of the board, these terminals are outputs for the op-
erator arm(s), gate locks (optional), and lamps (optional).
•APM1, CHM1 - terminals. For dual operations these terminals are for the arm that must
move first, for single operations these terminals are the output for controlling the operator
arm.
•APM2, CHM2 - terminals. For dual operations ONLY. Connect the arm that is to move sec-
ond to these terminals. For single operations nothing should be connected to these terminals.
•ELS - terminals. Brief 12V output at beginning of operation cycle, meant for release an elec-
tric lock.
•LAMP - terminals. Both a flashing lamp and a courtesy lamp can be connected to these ter-
minals with a power supply of 24V DC and a max output of 15 W. to change between flash-
ing lamps and courtesy lamps, select parameter “G”.
CN3 - Located on the center bottom of the board, these terminals are for limit switches.
•COMF - Common terminal to make the needed normally closed connections for the limit
switches.
•FCC1 - Normally closed contact. This terminal is connected with the COMF through the
limit switch. When tripped (connection opened) it stops the motion of the first operator. (This
terminal must be jumped with COMF)

a normally open contact to set the gate in motion will be attached to this terminal and the
COM terminal (common or also know as ground).
•OPEN B - terminal. This terminal is for opening the first leaf only in dual gate operations. It
is a normally open contact that must be used in conjunction with the COM terminal.
•STOP - terminal. This is a normally closed terminal that is used for gate motion stopping
emergency commands. If a safety device is not being used in this terminal the operator
must have a jumper ran from this terminal to the COM terminal in order to operate.
•FSW CL, FSW OP - terminals. These normally closed terminals are for safety devices dur-
ing the closing (CL) and opening (OP) cycles of the gate. If a safety device is not being used
in this terminal the operator must have a jumper ran from this terminal to the COM
terminal in order to operate.
•COM - terminal. This is a common, or sometimes referred to as ground, terminal. It is used
in conjunction will ALL accessories and safety devices.

In this stage, your control board will memorize where your limits are (identified
by limit switches, positive stops or both) in both opening and closing phases. Also
if the auto-close feature is activated it will learn the user specified pause time.
1. Release the operator gears using the manual release process for page . Once released, manually
move the gate(s) half way between the open and close stop points.
2. Relock the operator gears at the
half way point through its cycle.
Verify your operator control
board is showing
on the LED
display.
3. Press and hold down P2 shows the A parameter
and relevant number appear in the LED display.
4. Give an OPEN A command. This can be down with any opening device (keypad, push button,
etc…) wired into OPEN A and COM or using the transmitter. You can also briefly (one second
or less) jump OPEN A and COM with a wire. This will begin your gate in the
CLOSING DIRECTION and the LED
display will read “Pr”.
IMPORTANT: If the gate(s) begin to open rather than close,
the gate(s) must be stopped with a reset pulse. You can either:
Touch the TWO pins of the JMP “RESET” using a screwdriver OR
Disconnect all power (transformer and backup battery)
Then switch the wires leading into APM1-CHM1 (if Dual Operator APM2-CHM2 also) and then
begin programming again.

5. When the closing stop point or limit switch is reached, the motor pauses for approximately 2
seconds, and then restarts with a total opening maneuver to the opening stop point or limit
switch.
6. When the full open stop or limit switch is reached the gate(s) will stop.
7. Wait for the amount of time you would like your gate(s) to pause for during normal operation
before automatically re-closing and then signal your opener using and OPEN A contact or
transmitter single to close. The gate(s) will then return to closed and programming will be com-
plete.
