For non-EU countries, to obtain an adequate level of safety, the standards mentioned above must be observed, in addition to national legal regulations. FAAC is not responsible for failure to observe Good Technique in the construction of the closing elements to be motorized, of for any deformation that may occur during use.
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 articulated arms automates residential swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 16’...

• Other items that may be needed prior to commencing installation. Start and stop post, bracket or door stop. Although the Estate Swing E-SC 1600 features • soft start/stop and can be used with limit switches (not included), it is possible to use the E-SC 1600 without limit switches, relying on the positive stops to determine end posi- tions.

Manual Operation Mode Manual operation mode will be necessary to learn from installation and programming. It is also useful for emergency situations where as using the motor is not an option from operation the gate. 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 below.

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. *FOR 120 DEGREE OPENINGS: For 120 degree openings the curved section of the arm must be mounted to the hole on the gate mounting bracket marked X on the diagram above C (MAX) a a a a...
Installation of Operator The operator base plate and articulated arm are designed either for right-handed or left-handed installation. 1. Begin with your gear motor in the base plate. Hold the base and motor against the column and find the proper set back for your operator (from previous page). Mark the outline of the base plate with the operator in the correct setback position.
Page 13
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 gate 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.
Mounting the Control Board and Box 1. Position your control box on the post of the gate or a near by fence. Use the Knockouts labeled “A” in the picture to the right to mount your control box to the post or fence. For a dual operator set-up, the control box will be on the same side of the driveway as the master control arm.

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 and Positive Stops Although the E-SC 1600 control board comes equipped with a cycle time learning function, physical stopping mechanisms must still be used. This can be done with limit switches (not included), positive stops (not included) or both. These must be installed before learning.

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.
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 (if dual system): In terminal block CN2 insert the brown wire in APM2 and blue wire in CHM2.
1) Locate the 5 Silver Pins in the lower right hand corner of the Estate Swing board. 2) Locate the white connector on the receiver. 3) Push the white connector from the receiver on the 5 pins on your FAAC board with the dip switches of the receiver board facing away from the Estate Swing board.
Power 1. The Estate Swing E-SC 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.

Setting Operating Parameters Complete this step prior to programming the gate run time. This will dictate how your gate will react during programming and normal op- eration. 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 feature when a gate in motion makes contact Medium-high Force with an obstacle. High Force This parameter is for Dual gate opener sys- 1.5 Second Offset tems ONLY.

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 this parameter must be on 0.
Page 25
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 fea- ture 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 26
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.

If fuse the F2 fuse blows or continues to blow. Check all wiring to both the backup batteries and to all accessories run off of the 24+,- terminals on terminal block CN1. Check for the following: · The batteries are run in series not parallel. If they are run in parallel the batteries will be- come overcharged and be destroyed, which will then create a short and continually blow the F2 fuse.

If you call in for technical support or warranty sup- port: before any control board or motor will be per- mitted to be sent in for testing or warranty you will be required to e-mail digital photos to the technician. This is done in your best interest to save unnecessary shipping expenses and time lost.
Control Board Overview Caution! Do not run 110V AC power direct to the board. This will cause permanent damage to both boards and void your warrantee. Caution! - Upper left hand corner of board, used for power and back up power. VAC - terminals.
