The following section is instructions on mounting your gate opener. Your gate can be mounted one of two ways: Pull-To-Open: With the gate opener on the inside of the property, the gate will swing in towards the property. The gate opener will be extended in the gate’s closed position and as the opener retracts it PULLS the gate open.
Page 12
IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback PULL TO OPEN - Standard operation. This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the property and pulls your gate in towards the property. 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.
Installation of Operator—Pull-to-Open 1. Find the proper set back for your operator (from previous page). Do this by holding the bottom “L” shaped bracket against the post. Marking its horizontal positioning on the post using a vertical line up from the middle of the bracket.
Page 14
5. Temporarily position the gate side mounting bracket. (horizontal position does not matter, vertical position on the gate is the position you are matching to the post bracket.) Position your assembled gate mounting along the previouslydrawn vertical line and level the angled piece with the horizontal piece of the gate mounting bracket using a level.
Page 15
9. Extend the operator arm so the measurement between the center of the pivot hole on the rear bracket and the center of the pivot hole in the front mounting measures 51 1/4 inches (63 inches for L-series). After finding the measurement relock your operator arm.
Page 16
Close the gate leaf. With the operator attached on the post side, move the end of the arm to the gate and, keeping the gate operator in a perfectly horizontal position, determine the gate mounting position. The arm should already be in it’s full closed length that was determined in step 9 Attach the gate mounting bracket using carriage bolts, nuts, and washers.
Page 17
IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback PUSH TO OPEN - This operation is commonly used if you driveway slopes up after the gate, preventing it from swinging in. This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the property and pushes your gate out away from the property.
Installation of Operator—Push-to-Open 1. Find the proper set back for your operator (from previous page). Do this by holding the bottom “L” shaped bracket against the post. Marking its horizontal positioning on the post using a vertical line up from the middle of the bracket. Also mark your angled bracket for posi-tioning on the “L”...

5. Temporarily position the gate side mounting bracket. (horizontal position does not matter, vertical position on the gate is the position you are matching to the post bracket.) Position your assem-bled gate mounting along the previously drawn vertical line and level the angled piece with the horizontal piece of the gate mounting bracket using a level.
Page 20
9. Retract the operator arm so the measurement between the center of the pivot hole on the rear bracket and the center of the pivot hole in the front mounting measures 36 inches (41 inches for L-series). After finding the measurement relock your operator arm.

12. Close the gate leaf. With the operator attached on the post side, move the end of the arm to the gate and, keeping the gate operator in a perfectly horizontal position, determine the gate mounting position. The arm should already be in it’s full closed length that was determined in step 9.
Easy Wiring Under Driveway 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’...
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 finished with your wiring connections. Be sure you are placing your wires in the terminal block correctly.

Temporary Safety Jumpers and Dip Switch Settings If you are not using a safety device like a Photo jumped to GND photo eye or safety loop the Photocell terminal must re-main jumped to the GND terminal. Dip Switches—To change any dip switches, you must turn the power off before changing the setting.
Power The Estate Swing E-S 500 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.
Fine Tuning Limit Switches - Pull-to-Open Understanding the limit switches The stroke length is the distance between both limit switches. In- creasing the stroke length will make your operator open further or close further. Decreasing the stroke length will make your operator open less or close less.
Page 32
Programming Limit Switches - Pull-to-Open 1.Temporarily install gate opener arm upside down. 2.Press and hold the SET button until PL shows on the display (about 3 seconds) 3.Press and release BUTTTON1 and the display will change to O1 (Open limit, Motor 1) 4.Manually release the gate (motor 1 gate for dual gate opener) and move the gate to the desired open position.

Maintenance Lubricate the rear pivot and front pivot of the bracket. Lubricate the gate hinges about every 3 months, and also check for levelness of gate.
Troubleshooting If the gate opener will not move but the board is counting the run time: • Check the F1 fuse for the primary arm (right hand fuse) and the F2 fuse for the secondary arm (center fuse). If the gate opener moves a few inches or feet and stops or reverses directions: •...
Troubleshooting The gate opener is moving past a limit switch or switches: Press and hold SET to enter PL mode. Use BUTTON1 to display the limit switch that is the issue, O1, C1, O2, C2. Manually move the gate opener from fully retracted to fully extend, listen for a BEEPING. If BEEPING occurs, stop the piston at the beeping, if this is not your desired position for open or closed then adjust the limit switch.
