the direction that is dictated below.
For left-hand side:
Turn counterclockwise to lock, clockwise to unlock.
For right-hand side:
Turn counterclockwise to unlock, clockwise to lock.
To avoid an involuntary pulse activating the doors during the maneuver, before re-
locking the operator, switch off all power.
Fit the supplied Allen wrench and turn it by approximately a half a turn until it stops. Turn it in
the direction that is dictated above.
Restoring Standard Operation
2.1
RL
For one door, the door that can open independently from the other door (if there is
an overlap), you will insert in the manual release the provided emergency man-
ual release lever with pull chain and leave in place for emergency release.
In emergencies pull down on the chain and this will release the door.
Test periodically for correct placement and function. Resetting lock mode same as
below.

IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Position
3.1
This operator is intended to be on the inside of the garage and push
the carriage doors out towards the driveway.
Position the mounting plate above the door frame with the release just inside the frame the door
frame. The drive shaft (piece that comes down from the motor that makes the arm pivot) should
be positioned inside the door frame.
A = No minimum, but do not exceed 12”
B = 29” - A measurement = distance from hinges of door to center of door bracket. Exam-
ple: if A is 8” then B (29-8) is 21”

Installation of Operator
The operator base plate and articulated arm are designed either for right-handed or
left-handed installation. There is no pre-determined designation.
1. Begin with your gear motor in the base plate. Hold the base and motor against the Wall
above the door and find the proper position for your operator (from previous page). Mark
the outline of the base plate with the operator in the correct position. Then remove the mo-
tor from the base plate.
2. Secure the base plate to the wall using screws and a proper anchoring system for your type
of wall or frame material.
3. Fit the gear motor back onto the base plate and secure it with two screws, nuts and wash-
ers.
Important: The transmission shaft must always face downward.
Continued on next page.
3.2
Transmission shaft

4. Assemble the articulated arm and front coupling as shown below. Left assembly connects
the same way as the right only with the straight arm and door bracket on opposite sides as in
the smaller picture below.
5. Fit the straight lever of the articulated arm on the transmission
shaft and tighten it using the supplied screw and washer.
6. Manually release the operator (From section 2)
7. Find securing point Bfrom the mounting set back determined
from the previous page. Verify the arm is level, then temporarily remove the coupling from
the arm in order to attach the door mounting bracket. Attach the door mounting bracket to
the door using nuts, carriage bolts and washers.
8. Reconnect the coupling from the door mounting bracket to the arm.
Do not place the cover on yet. Wait until later in the installation process when you
have your limit switches installed and wired. Then attach the cover.
9. Relock the operator.

4.1
Mounting the Control Board and Box
Position your control box on the post of the gate or a nearby fence.
(1) Remove the rubber covers on the back of the box to reveal the holes. Use these holes to
mount the box, and then put the rubber covers over the screw heads to prevent water leakage.
*For a dual operator set-up, the control box will be on the same side of the driveway as the mas-
ter
control arm.
(2) Use the knockouts in the bottom of the box to run your wires into the control box. The knock-
outs
are multi-sized - purchase water tight connectors to run the wires into the box. The water tight
connectors go in the knockouts on the bottom.
(3) To mount the control board, first mount the control board stand in the center of the box.
(4) Place the caps provided over the pegs that will be used to attach the control board.
All wires being run to the control board should also be run through water-tight connec-
tors. Connectors are available from most home stores or your Estate Swing dealer.
If using backup batteries, create holes on the side of the box large enough for your wa-
tertight connectors and run your wires in from the side to make room for the battery.

4.2
For Your Convenience
The white 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 finished with your wiring
connections.

Installation of Limit Switches
The closed position is controlled by the door reaching the door frame. The open is controlled
by limit switches. These must be installed before learning.
For the carriage door usage of this motor you must be on operating parameter:
Mounting the limit switches
Slide the limit rings on the top side of the transmission shaft. Line up the holes on the limit
switches with the holes on the top of the operator. Manually release the arm.
Move the door into the full open position. Move the top ring until it is pushing the switch on the
limit switch in. Tighten the screw on the top ring to secure it in place.

Temporary Safety Jumpers
For the highest level of safety, the Estate Swing systems are set up with Normally Closed safety
terminals. This means that in order for the door opener to move these terminals must be closed
either through a safety device (recommended) or with jumpers. Temporary safety jumpers are
provided in the control box hardware bag for jumping these terminals to common (COM) during
the set-up process.
It is recommended not to use any accessories until setup and programming are complete.
NOTE: If not using safety devices the temporary safety jumper must remain in. In order for
the door operator to move, all three safety terminal lights (STOP, FSW CL, FSW OP) must
be lit.
4.5
To the left is our recommended
safety set up. It consists of safety
edges mounted on the door on the
outside to react rapidly to impact
and photo beams at the base of the
door to halt movement of the doors
with obstruction.

Wiring The Operator Arm(s)
For the Master Operator: In terminal block CN2 insert the BLUE wire in APM1 and BROWN
wire in CHM1.
For the Slave Operator : In terminal block CN2 insert the BROWN wire in APM2 and BLUE
wire in CHM2.
*During the learning process, if the door begins to move in the wrong direction. Stop
the door operator by removing power or tripping RESET switch. Then swap the
brown and blue wires, this will make the operator start in the right direction when
you restart the run time learning procedure.

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.
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 con-
nected on the receiver. Leave this jumper wire in place. One
of the terminals that has the jumper wire will have the White
wire added to the terminal.

4.8
Estate Swing 433 Plug-in Receiver (cont.)
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. (Fig 1)
6. The red power light should come on the receiver.
(Fig 2)
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 illumi-
nate steady (ex 2). (Fig 3)
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. 2
Fig. 3
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 pre-
vent 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 ex-
ample: 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.
