Estate Swing Summary 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 an electro-mechanical non-reversing linear arm automates residential swing-leaf gates with leaves of up to 16’ in length. It consists of an irreversible electro-mechanical operator with built in opening and closing limits and utilizes a worm

screw system. The irreversible system ensures the gate is mechanical locked when the

motor is not operating. A lock still needs to be installed if security or high winds are a concern. A manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the event of a power-cut or fault.

Keep this manual safely stored after

installation.

Standard System Overview and Safety Zones

The system display to the below is a recommended standard system. Other approved accessories can be installed. Photo sensors and a flashing light indicating gate movement is recommended for safety purposes.

1,2 Estate Swing Operator 3 Photocells (not included) 4 Control board 5 N/A 6 Push button opening device (not included) 7 Receiver extension (not included) 8 12Vdc flashing lamp (not included) 9 Positive stop 10 DC transformer

Notes:

1) When laying electrical cables, use appropriate rigid and/or flexible tube.

2) Do not run any wires in the same conduit as 110 AC power that may be in the area. This will cause unwanted interference.

IMPORTANT Preliminary Checks:

To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following conditions are observed.

 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.

 Power Drill  Crescent Wrench

Tools Needed

 Flat Head Screwdriver  Hacksaw  Phillips Head

Screwdriver

 C-Ring Pliers  Tape Measure  Level  Wire Strippers  C-clamps  3/8”, 1/4”, 5/16” Drill Bits

Other items that may be needed prior to commencing installation. Bolded items are necessary to all applications.

 Start and stop post, bracket or door stop. Although the FAAC Estate swing 1600 features built

in limit switches some may choose to use positive stops:

 16, 14 or 12 gauge, 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire will be required

to run power to your operator. Length is deter mined by distance between tr ansfor mer power supply and the control box.

 4 - 3/8” Carriage Bolts will be needed to connect the 2 “L” shaped brackets to the post.

Length will be determined by the size of your posts.

 A metal support bracket may be needed to achieve the appropriate desired setback. The metal

support bracket will be bolted or welded to your post to give a larger amount of space to mount the provided mounting bracket.

 A voltage meter and digital camera may be necessary to run diagnostic checks.

 If your transformer is going to be plugged into an outdoor outlet you will need to weatherproof

that outlet and transformer. Electrical boxes or plug covers can be obtained from a local hardware store to accommodate both the plug and transformer.

 Hardware to attach the control box to a post or fence.

 Watertight connectors for running wires into the control box.

 Protect all ingoing and outgoing wires with a surge suppressor. Consult your local dealer for

more information.

Page 11

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.

Instructions are pages 2.3 - 2.9

Push-To-Open: With the gate opener on the inside of the property, the gate will swing out away from the property towards the street. The gate opener will be retracted in the gate’s closed position and as the opener extends it PUSHES the gate open.

Instructions are pages 2.10 - 2.16

After deciding which method you will use to automate your gate, make an X across the pages of the installation method you

will not

be using.

This will prevent mistakenly using the wrong instructions for your installation as the two sections look very similar.

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.

2) There must be clearance for your gate opener to attach to the gate in the closed position. This is most

commonly an issue on columns. Re-positioning of the hinges or Push-To-Open operation may be required to achieve clearance.

3) The brackets do not and must not move after installation.

4) The "L" shape brackets can be mounted anywhere on the post or column. They can be mounted on a

separate post or fence as well. The only factor of importance is that when mounting of the brackets is done the hole in the boomerang bracket that the gate opener mounts on matches the setback on this page.

It is best to C-Clamp brackets on and test arm movement clearance before permanently attaching them.

To determine the position of the gate mounting bracket (above is for the post mounting bracket) refer to step 9 in the section “Installation of operator”

2.3

Page 13

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” shaped bracket. The hole on the end of the angled bracket should be in the setback position.

HINT: Trace the bracket on cardboard and use the

cardboard to make a template.

2. Cut off the excess length

(if any) of the angled bracket using a hacksaw.

3. Position the angled bracket between the two “L” shaped brackets in the same position as when the setback was found. Clamp the 3 brackets together. Drill through the angled bracket using the pre-drilled holes in the “L” shaped brackets using a 3/8” drill bit. Drill through all three brackets

using a 5/16” drill bit in a

position behind the first hole.

4. Insert a 3/8” x 1” bolt in the center hole and a 5/16” bolt in the rear hole. Secure them using the provided nuts and lock washers.

Before permanently attaching any brackets, be sure to test

arm motion and clearance.

2.4

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. Mark your holes, drill and attach the brackets using 4) 3/8” carriage bolts.

6. Assemble the rear fitting to the operator as shown below.

7. Run the 5 wires from the arm(s) to the control board as seen in section 3.

8. Set the operator for manual operation. And extend the operator arm to a near full extended position.

2.5

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.

10. Assemble the front gate mounting bracket as shown below. (bottom ring can be left off if

security is not a concern)

11. Attach the operator to the post mounting bracket using the supplied pins as shown below, support the arm to prevent dropping and breakage of the rear fitting. (bottom ring can be left off if security is not a concern)

2.6

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.

13. Attach the gate mounting bracket using carriage bolts, nuts, and washers.

14. Release the gate operator once more.

Manually test the gate by completely

opening and closing it, checking for hin-

drances.

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.

2) There must be clearance for your gate opener to attach to the gate in the closed position. This is most

commonly an issue on columns. Re-positioning of the hinges or Push-To-Open operation may be required to achieve clearance.

3) The brackets do not and must not move after installation.

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’ electric rigid pipe couplings (one for each joint in the water pipe)

- 1 ¾’ “Tee”

- 1 ¾’ Plug.

- 1 ¾’ male galvanized pipe X female hose fitting (usually in Brass)

- Large hammer.

All the above items could be found in a local home supply store.

Dig a trench perpendicular to the driveway approximately 6 to 8 inches deep and 6’ long.

Hook up a typical garden hose assembled to the first length of pipe as shown.

Turn on water and push the pipe under the driveway,

matching the pitch of the driveway. If you hit a rock use the hammer to force the pipe past the rock.

Attach additional pieces of pipe to the initial length by removing the tee and using the coupling to add the additional length of pipe, reassemble the tee and repeat the above steps until only 6 inches of pipe is sticking out from under the driveway. On the opposite side of the driveway look for a wet spot or water bubbling up, dig to find the end of the pipe.

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.

Take the terminal block off of the control board to insert wires. Hold with screw terminals facing upward.

Turn the screw counter-clockwise to open the terminal and clockwise to close the terminal.

The terminals come closed. Be sure not to mistake this for open and insert the wires below the terminal clamp. This will lack the

conductivity to complete the circuit.

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 eye or safety loop the Photocell terminal must remain jumped to the GND terminal.

Dip Switches—To change any dip switches, you must turn the power off before changing the setting.

ON: Auto-close on (the gate will re-close from the

open position after a time set in the programming section)

OFF: Auto-Close off

ON: Dual gate opener (2 motor s) OFF: Single gate opener (1 motor )

ON: Electr ic Lock being used OFF: Electr ic Lock not used

Photo jumped to GND

IMPORTANT: We recommend before turning the gate opener on for the

first time to have dip switch 1 OFF. If the dip switch is set to on, the gate will

auto-reclose after turning it on without any intentional activation on your

part.

Power

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 200’ away from the control board using 16 gauge, 2 conductor stranded direct burial low voltage wire. Do not use solid core wire.

Allow a minimum of 4’ of wire between the transformer and the control board.

Using the provided wire nuts, connect the wire (not provided) from the transformer to the two yellow wires on the control board marked TRAN. There is no polarity.

Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing.

This will destroy the Estate 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. Transformers are only warranted if the internal fuse is not blown. If the fuse is blown an outside factor (shorting, surge, water, etc) has caused the transformer not to function.

Plug the transformer into a 110 V AC outlet. 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.

Two 12V DC batteries (Max 5 a/h per battery) 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 above)

When you install new batteries - manually open the gate and allow the batteries to charge for 12 hours through the system before using the gate opener.

Fine Tuning Limit Switches - Pull-to-Open

Understanding the limit switches

The stroke length is the distance between both limit switches. Increasing 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.

The limit switches are for fine adjustment only and each turn of the

limit adjustment screws only moves the switch slightly.

Never adjust a limit switch past resistance, this will damage the limit switch internally.

Continue to the next page for limit adjustment

directions.

4.1

Page 32

Setting Open Limit Switch - Pull-to-Open

1. Insert limit buzzer. Place the bare end of the limit buzzer wire into the Limit1 OL1 terminal. Attach the alligator clip from the other lead of the buzzer to the bare tip of the small yellow wire from the operator arm.

2. Apply power to the circuit board as previous seen in the instructions. The buzzer should be sounding unless already on the open limit switch.

3. Manually release the operator arm and slowly move the gate from the closed position to the open position. If the buzzer stops and starts again while moving to this position make note of this for the next step. Once the gate is in your desired open position you are ready to adjust the limit switch.

4. If the buzzer had turned off and back on while moving the gate open: Turn the FCA screw counter-clockwise until the buzzer stops.

If the buzzer did not turn off and back on while

moving the gate open: Turn the FCA screw

clockwise until the buzzer stops.

5. Your limit is now set for the open position and you can remove the buzzer and put the yellow wire directly into the OL1 terminal.

4.2

Page 33

Setting Closed Limit Switch - Pull-to-Open

1. Insert limit buzzer. Place the bare end of the limit buzzer wire into the Limit1 CL1 terminal. Attach the alligator clip from the other lead of the buzzer to the bare tip of the small black wire from the operator arm.

2. Apply power to the circuit board as previous seen in the instructions. The buzzer should be sounding unless already on the closed limit switch.

3. Manually release the operator arm and slowly move the gate from the open position to the closed position. If the buzzer stops and starts again while moving to this position make note of this for the next step. Once the gate is in your desired closed position you are ready to adjust the limit switch.

4. If the buzzer had turned off and back on while moving the gate closed: Turn the FCC screw clockwise until the buzzer stops.

If the buzzer did not turn off and back on while moving the gate open: Turn the FCC screw counterclockwise until the buzzer stops.

Fine tuning Limit Switches - Push-to-Open

Understanding the limit switches

The stroke length is the distance between both limit switches. Increasing 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.

The limit switches are for fine adjustment only and each turn of the

limit adjustment screws only moves the switch slightly.

Never adjust a limit switch past resistance, this will damage the limit switch internally.

directions.

Operating Parameters Customization

1. LED shows P1: P1 is for setting your run time. The run time will be determined from the time you had determined during the set up of the limit switches. Take that determined run time and add 1 second. So if it takes 10 seconds to get from closed to open between limit switches; set the run time to 11 seconds. The options are 0-99 seconds.

2. LED shows P2: P2 is for setting your slow down time. The gate opener will slow down to half speed after the time set on P2 expires. If you wish to have the gate open and close faster make the slow down start time a longer period of time. If you want to put less stress on the gears and gate set the slow time shorter to slow the momentum sooner. The options will adjust to match the previously set run time. NOTE: motor must be in slow down to detect limits—be sure this number does not exceed the time the

motor take to move from one limit to the other.

3. LED shows P3: P3 is the force setting, the lower the number the easier the gate will reverse directions

when it meets resistance. This number may have to be changed to a higher setting if your gate is

obstructing unexpectedly. The number should be set to the highest number during initial setup and reduced to the point of reliable operation that takes into account change in gate resistance through out the year. The options are 0-32.

4. LED shows P4: P4 is for setting a delay between leafs if you have overlapping gates or a gate lock. The motor wired into the master terminals (1) opens first if there is a delay and closes second. It is recommended to have a delay of 3 seconds to avoid any jamming issues between leafs.

5. LED shows P5: P5 is the release for the gate lock – this option determines the length of time 24VDC will be sent out of terminals E_LOCK. The options are 1-4 seconds.

6. LED shows P6: P6 is the delay for automatic re-close from the open position – this option needs to

be turned on using the dip switch on the board. The options are 0-99 seconds.

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 connected 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.

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 illuminate 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. 1

Fig. 2

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 programming 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 r eceiver is a dr ip pr oof r eceiver . This means that it is designed to prevent water from accessing the inside of the receiver when the water is moving downward with gravity (rain for example).

DO NOT mount the r eceiver anyplace that water may access it from another angle. For example: 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.

Troubleshooting

If the gate opener will not move but the board is counting the run time:

• Check wiring connections.

• Be sure the arms are locked and not in manual operation.

• If not using slave limit switches, be sure jumpers are in place.

• Check the left hand fuse near the power supply—the proper way to inspect a fuse is to remove it from

its clips and check for continuity.

If the gate opener moves a few inches or feet and stops or reverses directions:

• Increase the force setting (P3).

• Check the setback. The setback of the operator is important to correct operation due to leverage the

arm will have on the gate.

• Check the battery voltage. Proper voltage should be between 13.4 – 13.8 and drop no more than a quarter of a volt under load.

• Disconnect accessories that may be triggering the gate a second time. The most frequent issues are from exit sensors or other automatic opening devices.

The gate does not reach the desired stop points:

• Adjust the limit switches.

• Lengthen the run time parameter (P1).

• Check setback— if setback is incorrect it will limit how far the gate will move per inch of stroke

length.

If the gate will open but will not close:

• Manually move the gate slightly off the open position and then trigger the gate to go closed. If the gate then moves closed the limits are most likely wired backwards. (Meaning the open limit is wired to closed and closed wired to open)

• If you are not using safety devices the safety jumpers are in place. If PH is on display it is an issue with the safety jumper or a device in the safety terminals.

• If you are using a safety device:

- Check to make sure you are using the normally closed connection instead of the normally open.

- Check to be sure there is continuity being provided between the common and normally closed wire of

the safety device. If there is not continuity then refer to the installation guide of the device to set up properly.

The display of the board will not light up:

• Check the power supply for 24VAC.

 The arms are not wired in or properly wired on the limit switch connections. Without the limit

switch connections being closed the board will not light up.

Troubleshooting

The gate opener is not stopping on the limit switches:

• Remove all pre-installed jumpers from the limit switch terminals that have limits going to them. The slave gate terminals come pre-jumped for single operation, if you are using a dual system pay particular attention to this detail and remove the jumpers when you put your limit switches in.

• The limits are wired incorrectly—be sure that you are following the correct wiring diagram for pull to open or push to open.

• For dual gates check that the delay between leafs is 2 or above. If both limits are triggered simultaneously there is a chance a limit could be missed.

One or both arms are not moving:

• Check to be sure wiring color pattern matches the installation (Example: push to open wiring for a push to open installation) - If the limits or motor are wiring opposite the installation the board will believe it is closed or open when it is actually the opposite and the arms will never move.

• Check the limit wires are correctly in the terminal blocks. The terminal blocks come with the terminal clamps closed - however when the terminal clamps are closed there is a small space below them one could mistake as place to insert a wire. If this is done then conductivity of the connection will never be reached.

• Push or pull on the gate - if it moves the gears are disengaged and the gate is in manual release mode.

General fix for user to understand operation:

- Unlock the gate opener arm and move it to the half way position. Change the run time to a low number

(example: 2). Run the operator repeatedly.

- The operator should run one direction for a 2 count and then the other for a 2 count. After you feel you have it following the run time correctly and swinging level and easily, then start incrementally lengthening the run time.

- Eventually the run time will allow the operator arm to reach both limit switches and your setup is complete.

Dual gate - Only one arm moves:

• Check your dual settings - if the dip switch is changed to dual with the power on the setting will not take effect, turn the power off and then back on to have the dual dip switch take effect. NOTE: If one

leaf of a dual gate ever reaches its end limit before the other leaf starts moving, the leaf that hasn’t started moving will not begin: correct this by cycling the gates again and let it travel the full stroke or decrease the delay between leafs. The options are 0-9 seconds delay.

CAUTION! Do not run 110V AC power direct to the boar d. This will cause permanent damage to both boards and void your warranty. Caution!

Gate Opener reactions to signals:

PUSH1 and Receiver (PUSH 1 terminal, PUSH 1 button, 5 Prong Receiver):

Details:

• Will activate gate with momentary contact (momentary contact between PUSH1 and V+) or if you momentarily press the PUSH1 button.

• Controls both leaves in 2 leaf mode (Dip switch 2 in the ON position).

• Acts as party mode control to suspend auto-reclose by activating while counting down auto-reclose in

the open position.

Operational Sequence for terminal with auto-close ON (Dip switch 1 in on position):

1. In closed position - momentary contact will open gates.

2. When opening - momentary contact will stop gates and then it will auto reclose.

3. When stopped mid cycle waiting auto reclose - momentary contact will move the gate in the direction opposite what it was moving before stopped.

4. When open and counting auto-reclose pause time - momentary contact will stop pause time.

5. Stopped in open position from override of auto-reclose from PUSH1 or Receiver momentary contact will reactivate pause time and close gate.

6. When closing - momentary contact will stop the gate and then it will auto reclose.

Operational Sequence for terminal with auto-close OFF (Dip switch 1 in off position):

1. In closed position - momentary contact will open gates.

2. When opening - momentary contact will stop gates.

3. When stopped mid cycle - momentary contact will move the gate in the direction opposite what it was moving before stopped.

4. When open - momentary contact will close gates.

5. When closing - momentary contact will stop the gate.

6. When stopped mid cycle - momentary contact will open the gate.

7. When open with auto-reclose off - momentary contact will have no effect.

8. When closing - momentary contact will re-open the gate.

• Controls both leaves in 2 leaf mode (Dip switch 2 in the ON position)

• Only opens the gate, never closes it.

• Pause time is able to be re-set if this terminal is closed through a momentary contact. Then the time

will be reset, count down the pause time, and reclose.

• Ideal for exit wand or exit loop.

Operational Sequence for terminal with auto-close ON (Dip switch 1 in on position):

1. In closed position - momentary contact will open gates.

2. When opening - momentary contact will have no effect.

3. When stopped mid cycle from PUSH 1 or the Receiver - momentary contact will open the gate.

4. When open with auto-reclose on - momentary contact will re-set pause time and will start counting again after release of momentary contact.

5. When pause time countdown is stopped in open from a momentary contact of PUSH 1 or the Receiver - momentary contact will have no effect.

6. When closing - momentary contact will re-open the gate.

Operational Sequence for terminal with auto-close OFF (Dip switch 1 in off position):

1. In closed position - momentary contact will open gates.

2. When opening - momentary contact will have no effect.

3. When stopped mid cycle - momentary contact will open the gate.

4. When open with auto-reclose off - momentary contact will have no effect.

5. When closing - momentary contact will re-open the gate.
