IMPORTANT: Pull to Open Operation This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the property and pulls your gate in towards the property. If you are going to use push to open operation “X” out the next 3 pages and use the push to open section instructions. E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual 2.
IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback Below are 2 common examples of setback mountings. These are not the only options for mounting. 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.
Installation of Operator—Pull-to-Open 1) Locate the set back template found in the box to determine the proper setback. Create a template out of the boomerang bracket by tracing it on a piece of cardboard. 2) Find the proper setback for your operator (from previous page). Hold the lower “L” shaped bracket along with the boomerang bracket template against the post near the hinge. [See Fig. 1] Fig 1 Mark how much of the boomerang bracket you will trim off on the template.
Installation of Operator—Pull-to-Open 5) Utilizing a level, mark a line on the post that is level with the bottom of the horizontal cross member. [See Fig. 3] Fig 3 6) Place the lower “L” shaped bracket so the top of the bracket is aligned with the mark on the post. Mark then drill and attach the bracket using 3/8” carriage bolts. [See Fig. 4] Check “L” shaped bracket for levelness before putting in the second bolt. Fig 4 Continue on next page. 2.
Installation of Operator—Pull-to-Open Before permanently attaching any brackets, be sure to test arm motion and clearance. 7) Place the upper “L” shaped bracket and the boomerang bracket on the lower “L” shaped bracket. Position the brackets in the setback that is being used. Fig 5 8) With the 3 brackets clamped together, mark then drill the upper “L” shaped bracket in place and attach it using 3/8” carriage bolts. [See Fig.
Installation of Operator—Pull-to-Open Before permanently attaching any brackets, be sure to test arm motion and clearance. 13) WITH THE GATE IN THE CLOSED POSITION measure 43” from the center of the hole on the boomerang bracket to the center of the hole on the gate bracket - this should be the position of the gate bracket on the closed gate. [See Fig. 7] 14) Additionally measure and mark the gate mounting bracket so that it is vertically centered on the horizontal bar.
IMPORTANT: Push to Open Operation This operation is commonly used if your 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. E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual 2.

Section 3: Gate Operator Mounting, Wiring Motors & Power E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual
Mounting Gate Operator(s) & Finding Limits 1) Slide the rear of the gate operator into the boomerang bracket. Next, secure the operator onto the bracket with a connector pin. 2) Utilize the C-clip pliers in order to attach a C-clip on the bottom side of the connector pin. 3) Move the gate along with the operator to the open position. Manually turn the piston until it fits the bracket that is mounted on the gate. 4) Temporarily secure the front of the arm with a clevis pin.
Mounting Gate Operator(s) & Finding Limits 5) Take a metal washer and drag it along the side of the gray shaft until it is attracted by the internal magnet. Move the closer limit switch on the bottom of the arm to line up with the washer. Underneath the arm there are slides secured with Philip head screws. After loosening the screws, the switches will be able to slide. See picture of limits on page 4.
Control Box & Running Wires Control Box Mounting: The control box can be mounted on a post or fence line. If you have a dual operator set up, make sure it is located within 45’ of the secondary motor. Allow at least 3 feet of clearance off the ground. Wiring: • Protect incoming wires with strain reliefs (not included) Dual Operation Junction Box: You will need the following items for this installation: • Second Junction Box • Screws • PVC Conduit 1) Set aside the junction box cover and screws.
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.
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. Take the terminal block off of the control board to insert wires. Hold with screw terminals facing upward.
Wiring the Operator Arm(s) For a dual gate use the provided wire to connect the secondary motor to the control board. Pull to Open (Opening out towards property) ! 3.
Wiring the Operator Arm(s) For a dual gate use the provided wire to connect the secondary motor to the control board. Push to Open (Opening out towards the street) ! It is important to choose the correct type operation type E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual 3.
Temporary Safety Jumpers & 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. Auto-Close on (the gate will re-close 1. ON: from the open position after a time set in the programming section) OFF: Auto-Close off 2. ON: Dual gate opener (2 motors) OFF: Single gate opener (1 motor) 3.
Power The only power connected to the Estate Swing E-S1000D control board will be the battery. Important: Please respect polarity when attaching the battery terminals. Do not cross wires. Allow a minimum of 4’ of wire between the charge board and the transformer for this option. Battery charging is done directly to the battery through the charge controller. See the sample below. Plug-in Option Control Board Charge Board Battery The transformer is not weather proof and must be kept in a covered area.
Section 4: Start Up and Operation E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual

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.
Section 5: Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accessories E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual
Maintenance 1) Lubricate the rear pivot and front pivot of the bracket. 2) Lubricate the gate hinges about every 3 months and also check for levelness of gate. E-S 1000D Series Instruction Manual 5.
Troubleshooting Establish what the gate opener is doing or not doing: This is the most important step. You should identify something that is happening. All too often we hear someone say that it is not doing anything - the reality however is the gate opener is always doing something. The motors may not move but the display may change or there may be a clicking noise, however it is very rare that there truly is nothing at all that is happening. Also sometimes we hear about intermittent issues.
Troubleshooting Fixes for LU: If the battery is reading low and the battery is new, the battery may just need to be charged. New batteries as they sit on the shelf lose their charge and typically are sold discharged. If the new battery will not charge it could have a dead cell, have a battery store or auto parts store test for this. If the new battery tests good at the store and the temperature is cold the battery may need to be insulated. Cold batteries have a constricted output.
Troubleshooting If replacing the fuse does not help, the motor can be tested using the following procedure: a. Disconnect the battery from the control board and from the charging source (solar panel or transformer) b. Disconnect the large Red and large Black motor wire from the control board terminals L1-1 and L1-2 c. Take the red and black wires from the motor and touch them directly to the battery terminals. This will cause the motor to run.
Troubleshooting If replacing the fuse does not help, the motor can be tested using the following procedure: a. Disconnect the battery from the control board and from the charging source (solar panel or transformer) b. Disconnect the large Red and large Black motor wire from the control board terminals L1-1 and L1-2 for primary or L2-1 and L2-2 for secondary c. Take the red and black wires from the motor and touch them directly to the battery terminals. This will cause the motor to run.
Troubleshooting Fixes for AU and not closing: If the first is true, power has been applied to the board with the gate(s) open the board is in a safety mode. In order to exit this, manually disconnect the piston from the gate bracket and twist the piston so the gate is approximately half way open, then reconnect the piston to the gate bracket. Disconnect power and reconnect, it will show AU still however a signal from a device should activate the gate.
Troubleshooting Only for dual gates: If the secondary leaf is stopping short of the closed position check this first. The motor that is wired in to be the secondary gate leaf (leaf wired into L2-1 and L2-2 terminals) MUST reached its closed position first. If the primary motor reaches the closed position first the secondary leaf will immediately stop moving. Fixes for gate stopping short: The first thing to try is to increase the run time. Press the set button and P1 will show on the display.
Troubleshooting The second way to fix this issue is to change which gate is the wired into the Motor 1 ( L1-1, L1-2)terminal vs the Motor 2 (L2-1, L2-2) terminals. This is a better solution for gates that open to significantly different degrees of opening and do not overlap in the closed position. If this is the case you can swap the red and black in Motor1 with the red and black in Motor 2. It will remain the same color sequence; you are simply swapping the pairs of wires.
Troubleshooting Possibilities for obstruction detection: Wind resistance. Wind is the number one reason the gate will stop and reverse with nothing in the way. Even a relatively open picket style gate still gets pushed fairly significantly by wind. Incorrect setting on P3 force setting for size gate and/or current weather conditions.
Troubleshooting To increase the force setting press the set button until P3 is on the display. Then press the Push1 button (center button) and increase the force setting until the gate no longer obstructs. Fixing the leverage issue is probably one of the most important things you can do and can be a contributing factor to a lot of other issues. To fix this issue is to move the rear pivot point of the gate opener further away from the hinge of the gate.
Troubleshooting DUAL GATE: One leaf continues to travel past its limit switch while the other leaf stops inconsistently This is because the limit switch wires from motor 1 are in the limit 2 block and the limit switch wires from motor 2 are in the limit 1 block. As motor 1 travels past its limit switch motor 2 will be triggered to stop. Motor 1 will keep traveling because its limits are paired with motor 2.
Troubleshooting There are two learn buttons at the top of the receiver. There is a Learn1 and a Learn2. The wiring instructions provided in the manual are utilizing Channel1. Channel 1 is activated by anything learned to the Learn1 button. Learn2 is pair to Channel2, which this channel is not utilized in the instruction manual. Please consult estate swing if you wish to utilize Channel2 to activate a different device.
Troubleshooting On thin gauge wires it is possible that the wire can get pinched and internally a split could form. It would be very difficult to identify this from looking at the wire. To eliminate the wire as an issue wire the receiver to the accessory terminals at the bottom following these instructions and a set of wires. You can use any wire, you will need 4 conductors. Remove the existing wire AND the jumper wire: a. First terminal on left, ANT - this is your antenna wire, this stays in place. b.
Troubleshooting Possible issues: The battery is too small to support the system after the sun is not charging it. The accessories being used have a high draw and are draining the battery. The solar panel is facing the wrong direction or has shadows. The solar panel is too small to charge the battery past what is being used. The battery is aging and cannot recharge. Fixes for repeated low battery: If the battery is over 3 years old replace the battery.
Troubleshooting Fix for not showing AU: Disconnect the power to the system, wait 20 seconds, then reapply power. The gate lock terminals are not putting out power Causes for the issue: The third dip switch is off (down). The closed limit switch was not reached. The lock will only trigger when the gate is being opened from the closed limit switch, not from stopping on run time.
Troubleshooting If the issue did not occur off the gate with P3 at 28: PULL TO OPEN: Run the piston to the retracted position. Manually move the gate to the open position. Swing the piston over to the gate bracket; if the piston is retracted too far to attach to the gate bracket with the gate open, move the limit switch toward the center of the arm and run the piston through another cycle.
Troubleshooting ! If you call in for technical support or warranty support: Before any control board or motor will be permitted 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. Many times we can come up with solutions to issues by seeing pictures that relay information that is impossible to relay through a phone conversation.
