Estate Swing Summery 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 EstateSwing automated system automates residential swing-leaf gates with
leaves of up to 12’ in length.
It consists of a locking electro-mechanical linear operator, powered by a 12V DC
battery, coupled with control board recharging the battery. The SLAVE equipment
is controlled by the MASTER equipment to which all accessories and pulse gen-
erators are connected. The MASTER card can be programmed and is used to set
the following: function logics, work times (by self-learning) and pause times, leaf
speed, and the sensitivity of the anti-crushing device.
The system will automatically lock when the motor is not operating. A release sys-
tem enables the gate to be moved by hand in case of a system failure.
Keep this m anual safely stored after
installation.

Notes: 1) Do not extend operator connection cables
2) When laying electrical cables, use
appropriate rigid and/or flexible tube
3) 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 follow-
ing conditions are observed.
•
The gate and column 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.

Control Board Layouts
ATTENTION: Study the control board and read this section
thoroughly before attempting to operate your gate opener.
Warnings:
•
•
•
Before attempting any job on the control board (connections, maintenance), turn
off electrical power and unplug the support battery.
Install a surge protector upstream of your opener, the opener is not power surge
proof nor will power surge damage be covered under warrantee.
Always separate power from control and safety cables (push-buttons, receivers,
photocells, etc.). To avoid any electrical noise, use separate sheaths or a shielded
cable (with earthed shield).

IMPORTANT: Charging Battery Prior to Use
Before beginning any electrical stages of installation we highly recommend charg-
ing the battery on the control board for 12 hours. This can be done anywhere there
is an outlet available.
1. Plug the battery into the control board (fig 1). For r

3. Charge the slave board by wiring it to the master board terminal strip. [terminal 6
of the master must connect with the right side of J2 on the slave and terminal 15
of the master must connect with the left side of the slave] (fig 3)
NEVER CONNECT POWER FROM ANY SOURCE DIRECTLY TO
THE SLAVE BOARD. The slave board may ONLY be connected to the
Master control board.
Let the unit charge for 12 hours, after remove both the transformer power and the
battery. You can now proceed with the installation process.

IMPORTANT: Setback
The setback is a very important requirement to be aware of during installation of the
post mounting bracket. The setback allows the operator arm to achieve
appropriate and equal leverage during opening and closing cycles.

Installation of Mounting Hardware and Arm
Examples of stops
1. Set up closed stop points for your gates
if you are choosing to use them. For a snug
closing the master gate should close against
the slave gate using an overlapping bracket
as in the picture to the right. The closed
stop on the ground is for an overall taught
closing point
Examples of industrial
door stops
2. Position the column bracket to the dimensions from the
previous page. In most installations the gate is already hung
so the distance between A and B is going to dictate the
opening degree and distance to set the bracket on the back
of the column. Before securing the bracket, check for level-
ness.
3. Straighten the arm to it’s full extended position as seen below. This will be the position the
arm will be mounted in the closed position of the gate. See the following page before mounting
the ate bracket.
3.2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
4. Using a tape measure, snap line or some-
thing else straight, draw a line where the full
closed point of the gates will be. Then from the
center of that line measure in towards the prop-
erty 1 inch. This will be where the arms in the
fully extended position will mount to the gate.
(Second example to the right)
NOTE: Why do this you may ask. This is be-
cause even though the arms have reached
their full extension momentum of the gate
will carry the gate an inch further by just
turning the base gears of the operator.
5. Manually release the opener arms. Do this
by removing the black cap o the top, inserting
the release key and turning it until the gears are free turning.
6. With the arms still fully extended attach the gate mounting bracket to the end of the arm using
the provided nut and bolt. Insert the base of the opener in the column bracket and place the gate
bracket against the gate while the gate is set at an inch open. This will be the correct mounting
position for the gate bracket. After attaching the bracket, be sure to relock the operator arm for
regular operation.

Finding Location and Mounting Control Box
1. The control box must be mounted near your actuator arm.
The wire on the back of the actuator arm cannot be shortened or
lengthened.
Keep you control box in a location at least 3 feet off the ground to avoid
water buildup.
2. Level your box and mark your mounting holes. The
holes are located in four corners of the control box
(fig 1).
3. After marking your holes drill them and attach the
control box to the post.
4. There are three separate knockouts on the bottom of the
control box. Find a water-tight connector at your local
hardware store that will fit one of the knockout as well
as fit all of your wires through it. Remove the neces-
sary knockout in the bottom of the box and affix a
watertight connection (fig 2).
Fig 1
Fig 2
Your box must be kept water-
tight. Moisture can damage
your control board.
If you have trouble locating a water-
tight connector contact Estate Swing
1-800-640-GATE for assistance.

For Y our Convenience
The green numbered terminal strip at
the bottom of the control board is
easily removed for wiring. Simply
pull straight down 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.

Installing temporary safety jumpers
For your opener to function properly a few connections must be made prior to
the learning process. Accessories should NOT be installed until after the learn-
ing process is comple
5.2
Actuator and Dual Power Connections
Caution! Do not reverse polarity of the wires
connecting the Master and Slave board. This
will cause permanent damage to both boards
and void your warrantee. Caution!
Slave Board Power—On the slave board it is used as communication with the master
board and powering from the master board. Connect the slave board to the master
board using 16 gauge low voltage wire. This wire must be run across the drive-
way and can be up to 100 feet in length. Terminal 6 MUST connect with the
RIGHT side of J2 on the Slave board, Terminal 15 MUST connect with the
LEFT side of J2 on the Slave board.
J3 - Actuator Connections—This terminal is used to connect the operator arm to the
control board both on the master and slave side. IMPORTANT: Follow the above
chart for wire colors. DO NOT EXTEND OR SHORTEN THE OPERATOR
ARM WIRES.

Installing and Setting Transmitters and Receivers
Installing the Receiver
1) Locate the 5 Silver Pins on your MASTER Estate Swing board, located above
the battery.
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 center of the
Estate Swing board.
Setting the Dip Switches
1) Set the dip switches on the receiver by switch-
ing them in the up, down or center position.
Record this dip switch combination
2) Slide off the battery cover of the transmitter
(located at the bottom front cover)
3) Set the dip switches in the transmitter to the
same settings as the dip switches on the receiver.
4) Repeat this for all of the transmitters.

Power
1. The Estate Swing (Master Unit if Dual Operator) comes with 1) AC transformer. The
AC transformer supplied has 4 screw terminals, use the center 2 terminals to attach
your low voltage wire (polarity is not relevant). You may locate the transformer up to
1000’ away from the control board with 16 gauge or larger direct burial low volt-
age wire.
2. Insert the two wires into the power in section on the control board (J2) on the master
board. The wires are interchangeable and do not have a positive and negative. The
slave board receives power from the master board only, do not connect power directly
to the slave side. Do not splice the power cable wire.
Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing. This will destroy the Es-
tate Swing control board.
3. Before plugging in your transformer, plug the battery into the control board. The
clear plastic clip gets clipped into J4 with the clip side on the left. The other side of the
battery wire has a clear plastic disconnect that slides on the battery terminals. Red to
Red, Black to Black. Reversing the wires will blow the
fuse.
Never connect the power wire with the transformer
plugged in. Contact between the two lead wires, even
for a second, will destroy the transformer.
4. Plug the transformer into a 110 V AC outlet.
5. 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.
6. The power light (P) will be on if the power and bat-
tery are connected properly. If

Programming Gate Movement Variables
Using the following procedures you can change factory settings such as auto
close, speed, force, delays and more.
Begin the programming process by pressing P1. Pressing P1 se-
lects A,B,C,D or E. A, B, C, D and E correspond with the vari-
ables in the chart on the following page.
When you are on the desired variable you would like to change the
setting of press P2 to change the setting of that variable. P2 will
change the light to 1, 2, 3 or 4 which correspond with the settings
on the chart below on the following page. Below is a list what each
variable controls.
A: Switches between Function Logics. Function Logics are sets of
actions that will occur when an accessory terminal connection is
made or disrupted. Each set of actions is designed to give different
results providing increased safety, convenience or other.
B: Switches between the amount of time the gate pauses before closing after reaching full
open. By selecting Logic EP (4) all pause times will be void and the gate will remain open
until an opening devices is triggered.
C: Switches between the amount of time the gate waits before beginning motion when an
opening and closing is triggered or if dual gates are installed, pause time will only apply to
one gate.
D: Switches between the amount of force the gate opener will exert before an obstruction is
detected and the gate reverses directions.
E: Switches between the speed of the gate motion. This does not effect the soft start and
stop.
See the following page for Gate Movement Variables LED Chart .

Trouble Shooting
If your gate operator arm will not move.
•
Be sure that all safety devices are connected. Safety device terminals work on nor-
mally closed connections so if terminals 3, 4, and 5 are not connected to negative
terminals the gate opener will not function. Secondary safety devices are always
recommended by Gate Crafters and FAAC, if you choose to only use the inher-
ent obstruction sensing featured in the Estate Swing control board you must con-
nect terminals 3, 4, 5 to a negative terminal (12, 13, 14, or 15).
•
•
Be sure your arm is mounted correctly, IF the setback is off there may be not
enough leverage to move the gate.
Be sure the power LED is on steady. See page 27 for power LED interpretations.
The battery supplied should be charged for 12 hours before beginning the learning
process.
•
•
Be sure that the polarity of the arm wiring is correct. For standard Pull-To-Open
operation the Blue wire should be connected to the left and Brown wire connected
to the right. Reverse the polarity for Push-To-Open Operation.
Check the fuse to be sure the fuse is not blown. It can be tested visually or with a
volt meter by checking for continuity between the two prongs of the fuse.
•
•
Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and tries to move too
quickly, sometimes the jerk of the gate at the beginning may set off the obstruction
sensing. Move the speed setting down to 1.
•
Try removing the opener arm from the gate mounting bracket. Run the cycle with
the arm off the gate. If the opener moves, check your gate for levelness, greased
hinges, and weight/length ratios. Note: moving your gate from the end by hand may
seem very easy. A true test would be moving the gate from the gate mounting
bracket just as the operator would.
If case won’t close or the programming lights will not turn on.
•
Be sure that the control board and the control board cover is fully lined up and
snapped into place. During shipping some shifting may occur resulting in a board
and cover that are not lined up., thus the activation buttons (P1, P2) will not line
up.

If the power LED (P) is flashing slowly.
•
This means your main power is not on, the battery is low and absorbing too much of the main
power, or the main power was plugged in for less than 5 minutes. Be sure before installation
the battery is charged for 12 hours. A charged battery should read over 13V at idle without
power connected. If your battery is reading under 13V it needs to continue to charge.
Note: When a charging power source is removed from a battery the voltage reading will drop immediately after
and then level out. Please wait for the voltage to level out to get an accurate reading of the battery’s charge.
If the power LED (P) is flashing rapidly.
•
The battery is discharged and does not have enough power to move your gate.
Note: Many times the power light will only flash rapidly for a few seconds during the cycle, at
which time the gate will stop in motion. It may immediately go back to solid. The battery is still
too low, but is closer to being ready to use. This means that the increased amperage pull from
moving a gate is too much for the battery in it’s current level of charge.
If the gate stops mid cycle.

Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and moves too quickly, sometimes the
jerk of the gate during certain parts of the cycle may set off the obstruction sensing. Move the
speed setting down to 1.
•
•
Try removing the opener arm from the gate mounting bracket. Run the cycle with the arm off
the gate. If the opener no longer stops during cycle, check your gate for levelness, greased
hinges, and weight/length ratios. Note: moving your gate from the end by hand may seem very
easy. A true test would be moving the gate from the gate mounting bracket just as the operator
would.
Check the power lights, the flashing may only last a short time when the gate stops. If the light
flashes let your operator charge.
If the gate stops after only a few inches of movement.
•
NOTE: The open and closed position is the most difficult for the opener because it is
working without momentum and at the least leverage point.
•
•
Check the force setting, D variable. 4 is the highest. Try moving the force to high.
Check the speed setting, E variable. If the gate is heavy and moves too quickly, sometimes the
jerk of the gate during the beginning of the cycle may set off the obstruction sensing. Move the
speed setting down to 1.

Only the master opens.
•
Check the power light on the slave side be sure the power light is on steady. Note: The slave
does not charge until the master light is steady, if you were recently charging the master and
slave the master might have only gotten a chance to charge.
•
Check the diagnostic mode (Section 17). For dual openers CDE and 1 should be on. The rest
off. If 1 is off then the slave is not communicating with the master, check your connection to
the slave and the polarity of the connection (Section 9).
•
•
If using an accessory to open the gate, see which terminals it is wired to. Terminal 2 ONLY
opens the master leaf, move your accessory to terminal 1.
Check the same information as the first trouble shooting topic “If your gate operator arm
will not move.”
Only the slave will open.
•
Check the same information as the first trouble shooting topic “If your gate operator arm
will not move.”
If your gate is losing memory of slow down points.
•
First reset your gate opener by unplug battery and transformer power for 10 minutes. Plug the
power sources back in and wait for the power light to go steady. Re-program the gate in Com-
plete Stop/Start Learning Process (Section 20).
•
Check the setback. This is very important for the memory process.

Accessory Terminals
Normally Closed connections must be made for proper gate opener function. The
full accessory board is only found on the master control board.
J1—Terminal Board for Master Card
Terminals
1 - “Open/Close Function” This is a normally open terminal where by any device (i.e. push
button, keypad, receiver) which, by closing a contact, provides an opening and/or clos-
ing pulse for both gate leaves (if there is only one leaf, it will control the one leaf).
2 - “Single Leaf Open/Close Function” This is a normally open terminal where by any de-
vice (i.e. push button, keypad, receiver) which, by closing a contact, provides an open-
ing and/or closing pulse for only the gate leaf controlled by the master control
board .
3 - “Stop Command” This is a normally closed terminal where by any device (i.e. push
button) which, by opening a contact, halts gate movement. IMPORTANT: If a connec-
tion is not made from this terminal to one of the - (negative) terminals (i.e. 12, 13, 14,
15) gate motion will not commence.
4 - “Opening Safety Device” This is a normally closed terminal where by any device (i.e.
photocells, sensitive edge, magnetic loops) which, if there is an obstacle in the area they
protect during opening, reverses gate direction to closing.
If the opening safety devices are tripped when the gate is closed, they prevent the leaf
movement.
IMPORTANT: If a connection is not made from this terminal to one of the - (negative)
terminals (i.e. 12, 13, 14, 15) gate opening will not commence.

5 - “Closing Safety Device” This is a normally closed terminal where by any device
(i.e. photocells, sensitive edge, magnetic loops) which, if there is an obstacle in the
area they protect during closing, reverses gate direction to opening.
If the closing safety devices are tripped when the gate is open, they prevent the leaf
movement.
IMPORTANT: If a connection is not made from this terminal to one of the -
(negative) terminals (i.e. 12, 13, 14, 15) gate closing will not commence..
6 - “Slave Control Board Connection” This is a connection between the master and
slave control board. It enables communication between the two equipment and
supplies power to charge the battery on the slave side. Use this in conjunction
with terminal 15 - (negative). Terminal 6 must connect with the right side of J2
on the slave board, Terminal 15 must connect with the left side of J2 on the slave
board.
Caution! Do not reverse polarity of the wires connecting the master and slave
board! This will cause permanent damage to both boards and will void the war-
ranty. Caution!
7, 8 - “Positive (7) & (8) 24 Voltage” Positive 24V for powering accessories that are
run by 24V DC power (i.e. locks, safety devices) while the gate is in motion.
9 - “Indicator Light” When used with terminal 11, this terminal grounds the indicator
light. To avoid compromising correct operation of the system, do not exceed
the indicated power (12V .5Wmax). The indicator light is lit during open, opening
and blocked. The indicator is flashing during closing.
10 - “Lamp” When used with terminal 11 , this terminal grounds the flashing lamp out-
put. To avoid compromising correct operation of the system, do not exceed the
indicated power (12V 21Wmax). When the gate is in motion, the lamp will flash.
11 - “Positive 12 Voltage” This is a 12V terminal used to power the indicator light,
lamp (must be connected to the appropriate ground) and constantly powered acces-
sory devices (when connected to a ground 12,13,14,15) controlled by 12V DC.
(12V 21Wmax)
12, 13, 14 ,15 - “Negatives” Interchangeable negative terminals for use with powered
accessories, safety devices and opening devices.

Photocell & Safety Device Guide
Before connecting the photocells (or other devices) we advise you to select the type
of operation according to the movement zone to be protected.
Opening Safety Devices: They
operate only during the gate
opening movement and,
therefore, they are suitable for
protecting the zone between the
opening leaves and fixed
obstacles (walls, etc.) against
the risk of impact and crushing.
Closing Safety Devices: They
operate only during the gate
closing movement and,
therefore, are suitable for pro-
tecting the closing zone against
the risk of impact.
Opening/Closing Safety Devices: the operate during the gate opening and closing
movements and, therefore, they are suitable for protecting the opening and closing zones
against the risk of impact.
If one or more devices have the same function (opening or closing) they must be
connected to each other in series. Normally Closed contacts on the accessories
panel must be used.

Installing Accessories
Accessory manuals for most make and model accessories can be found
on the web at:
The accessory manuals you have or find at the above address may be written to coincide with
that manufacturers model of gate opener. To determine correct terminals on your Estate Swing
operator, use the accessory terminal section of your Estate Swing manual. The following are
some common terms and abbreviations found in manuals:
Normally Open – abbr. N/O – Indicates a circuit that is left open during normal operation of
the gate operator. When a device closes this circuit it signals the operator to perform a function.
This circuit is the main circuit for entry devices. (i.e. keypads, exit wands, push buttons, etc.)
Normally Closed – abbr. N/C – Indicates that in order for the gate opener to be active this cir-
cuit must be closed. When a device opens this circuit it stops the motion of the gate operator.
This circuit is the main circuit for safety devices. (i.e. photo eyes, safety loops, etc.)
Common – abbr. COM – This is the matching terminal for both Normally Open and Normally
Closed circuits to be connected to. Accessory wiring that begins in a N/O or N/O terminal must
have a wire that ends in a Common terminal.
Ground – abbr. GND or GRD – Ground is sometimes also known as negative. Common termi-
nals are the same as Ground terminals. Ground can also be the negative spade of the battery if it
is being used in association with positive voltage.
If a device has both a N/O and a N/C wire, both are never used at the same time. Some devices
can be used as either an opening device or a safety device (i.e. gate crafters exit wand, NIR
photo eye, etc.) If being used as an opening device use the N/O and if being used as a safety de-
vice use the N/C terminals.
