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. Also mark your angled bracket for positioning on the “L”...
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 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 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 50 3/4 inches. After finding the measurement relock your operator arm. This is your closed mounting position.
Page 16
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.

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.

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. 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—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.

Positive Stops and E-S 1602 Dual Considerations Even though the E-S 1600/1602 arms come equipped with built in limit switches some people prefer to use positive stops instead. Positive stops If positive stops are used alone you must be on operating parameter : Positive stops are physical structures the gate comes in con- tact with at the end of the opening and closing cycles.
All wires being run to the control board should also be run through water-tight connect- ors. 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 water-...
Page 28
Position Backup Batteries 1. Slide the two batteries below the control board mount. They do not require any additional bracing. Create holes on the side of the box large enough for your water tight connectors and run your wires in from the side to make room for the batteries.
Page 29
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.

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 gate 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.
Power 1. The Estate Swing E-S 1600 comes with 1) 24V transformer. The transformer supplied has 2 screw terminals to connect to. You may locate the transformer up to 144’ (single) or 72’ (dual) away from the control board using 2 conductor stranded direct burial wire as specified below.
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.

Setting Operating Parameters Complete this step prior to programming the gate run time. This will dic- tate how your gate will react during programming and normal operation. It is not necessary to reset these if power is removed or if reset is tripped, they will stay set.
Operating Parameters Chart Minimum Force This parameter adjusts the sensitivity of the electronic clutch system. The electronic clutch Medium-low Force FORCE system controls the anti-crushing auto-reverse Medium-high Force feature when a gate in motion makes contact with an obstacle. High Force This parameter is for Dual gate opener sys- 1.5 Second Offset tems ONLY.
Page 39
This parameter determines when the gate will 20% of total arch SOFT begin to slow down near the end of opening START/ and closing cycle. 10% of total arch STOP This parameter determines how fast the gate SOFT will move during the soft start/stop. If using SPEED positive stops it must be set to 0.
Page 40
Programming Gate Run Times 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. FOR SAFETY PURPOSES—your opener will not run until this step is completed 1.
Page 41
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.

LED Lights & Operational Displays Control Board LED Lights - The control board LED lights are located above their respec- tive terminals that they represent. (With exception of ALIM, power supply light, which is located below the power terminals in the upper left corner.) The LED lights are a quick way of verifying necessary connections are made.
Troubleshooting If the gate opener will not move. Be sure you have gone through programming. Without programming no power is ever sent to the operator arms. Check wiring connections. Check to be sure jumpers are in place between STOP, FSW OP, FSW CL to COM on terminal block CN4.
Page 44
Touch the reset pins (RST) to reset the system. Change the i parameter to 0. Restart the learning process. Contact Estate Swing for alternate power supply to correct a lack of correct voltage and/or amper- age outputs under load. The gate does not reach the desired stop points.
