Gate Opener - Estate Swing E-S500 Classic Single Swing Gate Opener w/ Free Extra Remote
An Estate Swing gate opener is designed to be
easy to install for the average handyman. Every unit
comes standard with everything needed to automate your gate, including mounting brackets (hardware to
affix brackets to the gate and column are not included). The
Classic series of Estate Swing have a few
features that are made for DIY installers. First it is has no
learning procedure like all other openers. Because of its smart usage it runs from one limit to the other
without having to learn the procedure to the processor. Some
times simpler is better! The magnetic limit switches are adjustable on the bottom of the arm; simply
slide them to where you need them. Third, it has fully adjustable
brackets that can be made to fit any situations including push to open. Installers have alternate parts
for gate openers on hand; homeowners do not; that is why these
brackets are designed to fit all needs.
Also included is Estate Swing's unique user directed instruction manual. Estate Swing, being closely
involved with its customers, has created the first user driven
updateable manual for continuous improvement of installation ease, maintenance and trouble shooting
updates. Gate Crafters also brings DIY projects to a new level
of simplicity with our 7-day/week technical support and 24/7/365 scheduled installation support.
All Estate Swings are built to the highest standards world wide. Each unit is put through rigorous
quality control testing on each component. The Estate Swing E-S500 meets and exceeds UL325
standards for anti-crushing safety.
The Estate Swing E-S500 Single Opener is a low
voltage system, eliminating the need to run 110 AC to
your gate. Simply run low voltage wire to a household outlet within 200' of the operator or use the battery board alternative up to 1000 feet
(Buy battery board alternative at the same time as this
opener and save $200 instantly). This is a Constant Duty DIY gate opener. What does this mean to
you? These gate openers will run again and again
without running a battery down. All other DIY gate openers run off of a battery and are trickle charged
after a cycle is run to recharge that battery. If cycles are run
off the battery faster than the power can charge it, then your gate opener runs the risk of being
temporarily stuck closed. With the E-S302 Classic the power for the
cycles comes directly from the 24V transformer plugged into a standard outlet; the batteries (not
included and optional) are strictly backup for power outages. Thus
add another level of reliability and peace of mind.
The Estate Swing E-S500 Single Opener has
features never before seen or new to economically priced
openers.

NO Learning Procedure This is one of the most desirable features of this intelligent control
board. Once everything is wired in you can just run your
gate opener. All other openers have to go through a learning procedure to know how long to run for and
other details. No hassles here.
Time Tested Design The Classic series of the Estate Swing is the identical design of the
first electro-mechanical gate opener. This design has been used for over 30 years and is still in use on
thousands of homes and businesses around the globe. This
is the design that started it all and made people confident that electro-mechanical could be more
reliable, efficient and cost effective than hydraulic gate openers.
Easy Access Adjustable Magnetic Limit Switches There are many pluses to the limit switches on
this unit. They are easy to adjust and access. They are
on the bottom of the exterior of the arm, simply slide them to the location needed and tighten down a
screw. Secondly, both the open and closed point is adjustable;
this gives you more flexibility of stopping points after the brackets are bolted into place. Lastly they
are magnetic so there are no components to wear out or break
from contact.
Adjustable Run Time/Soft Stop One of the parameters you can designate for this opener is a run
time. The advantage of this is, again, it is not a learned
procedure, but something you input manually as an adjustment for your soft stop. The purpose is to give
an option for where you want soft stop to begin. If you make
the run time the same as the actual run time from limit to limit it will slow down half way; as you
extend the run time past that time the soft stop will become shorter
and give you a faster opening time. The board makes it easy to set, it has a counter on it telling you
how many seconds it takes to go from open to close - then you
simply put that number or a number of your choosing to delay the slow down.
EZ read digital display notifications: The display will indicate when it is sending poser
to the electric lock, when it is open, when it is in auto-reclose
pause countdown, when it is closing and visually counting the run time. All this info makes it easy for
the Do-It-Yourselfer to understand their gate opener clearer and
look like a master installer.
Closed position lock release: The Estate Swing classic is the ONLY gate opener on the
market to release your solenoid gate lock for a second time after the closed limit is reached. Why is
this a plus? It shows true appreciation for customer feedback.
For years the number one complaint from customers is the solenoid gate locks take too much force to lock
back into place. And with the advent of soft stop this has
become even more of an issue. The Estate Swing
classic send a 1 second burst of power to the lock to
allow the lock to re-latch electronically rather than through force.
Obstruction sensing alarm: Safety has always been the top priority for Estate Swing. The
classic now comes with an alarm to let you know when a
problem has occurred. If the gate makes contact with an obstacle it will stop and back up for 3 second to
clear the obstacle. If the gate is jammed on the obstacle
making an obstruction happen 3 times in a row the system will shut down and an alarm will sound until the
system is reset notifying anyone around the gate that there
is a problem needing immediate attention.
Large 24V Motor - The motor of the E-S500 is one of the largest found on any residential gate
opener. It is well equipped to handle gates up to 600
lbs, more weight then found in many heavily ornamented gates.
Easily Adjustable Brackets - The brackets are set up to be user customized to fit any need
configuration; push to open, pull to open, mounting on back
of post, mounting on side of post, etc.
Large Opening Arch Capabilities - The E-S500 has the ability to open gates up to 110 degrees,
well beyond most other openers.
Advanced Gear System - The gear system is one of the most important parts of a gate opener; it
influences power, control, reliability, and the life span
of the motor. The E-S500 uses an advanced worm gear system cutting down on bearing wear and motor
deterioration.
All Weather Compatible - This arm can handle the cold, heat and everything in between.
Highest Level of Safety The Estate
Swing E-S500 automatically reverses directions when
it comes in contact with an obstruction. The Estate
Swing E-S500 also has the safest method of
controlling safety devices. All safety devices are set up on a Normally Closed circuit. Some gate openers
are set up on a normally open circuit. What this means is
that the Estate Swing E-S500 is virtually
fail-safe. If a safety device does not activate for any reason the
Estate Swing E-S500 will not operate, keeping
your loved ones and assets safe. Gate openers with
safety devices set up on a Normally Open connection will operate with the disabled safety device and the
consumer will not know the safety device is inactive until it
is too late!
Quick, Safe and Secure Manual Release Every unit comes with a key chain ready manual release
key. In the rare case power has failed and the back
up battery is not charged, the manual release key can be used to safely open your gate without damaging
your opener arm or disconnecting anything from your
gate.
Adjustable Performance Features Adjust the performance of your gate opener to fit your
tastes, lifestyle and needs. You can adjust Pause Times,
Opening/Closing Delays, Static Force, etc.
24 Volt Output Terminals Convenient for accessories requiring power. i.e. locks, sensors,
etc.

Words from Senior Application Engineer,
Anthony Gaeto

"The Estate Swing Classic series is one of the
best things I have seen come to the gate opener market in
a while. It combines an advanced yet simplified electronics board with tried and true mechanical
technology. In an era of adding bells and whistles to everything
sometimes it is better to have something that just plain works and in a way that even the untrained
installer can understand. A real plus for the Do-It-Yourself market.
The Classic series gate openers are linear actuators reflecting 30 years of gate opener in-use
reliability. The design of the Estate Swing Classic opener arm is the design that launched electro-mechanical gate
openers. In the early days of gate opener automation, the
thought was if you were going to do a piston style gate opener you had to use hydraulics; however low
voltage motors and gear driven system are far more efficient
and maintenance free. This is the design that made the transformation and the design was so solid it has
lasted for 30 years and is still being used today.
The magnetic limit switches make a big difference in the longevity of this design. Magnetic limit
switches have no parts that make contact; eliminating the possibility of
a part wearing down over time. The adjustment can be done on both the open and closed side. Many gate
openers simply are adjustable on one side or the other but
if you want to make adjustments on the permanent side you would have to re mount the brackets. The
adjustment is also the easiest I have seen. Most require turning
some type of screw and guessing on the hidden limits position and degree of movement. These you simply
slide them along the bottom of the arm and tighten a screw
when you are set. You will be able to see how much you are moving the limit in adjustment.
The intelligent control board is the best DIY aspect of this opener. The high tech part of it is all in
the back end of how it regulates power, senses obstructions, etc.
The user end is simplicity at its best. There is no learning process so this means you can just hook up
all the wires, press your remote and it will begin running. Some
adjustments to the limit placement and some of the parameters will probably need adjustment, but at least
it will be a running gate opener with no confusing
programming steps to begin.
Safety is always a top concern with Estate Swing. They have designed their system to be the safest in the
world. We at GateCrafters.com always recommend having
external safety devices such as photo sensors installed on your opener to prevent damage or injury. The
Estate Swing Classic series, first, has an auto-stop feature built in. Even if you do
not decide to install any external safety devices, the Estate Swing E-S 502 will automatically stop if it
comes in contact with an obstruction. The top safety
feature is how safety devices are wired on the Estate Swing Classic. Other gate openers have a flawed
system; they are hooked up on a normally open circuit, which means if your safety device is not
functioning properly it will not stop the movement of your gate. This
can lead to disastrous results. The Estate Swing
Classic works on normally closed connections for
safety devices. In most cases, if the safety device is not functioning properly, the normally closed
connection will be open, the same as when there is a breach of the
safety device, and the gate will not move.
GateCrafters.com was selected as a Estate Swing
partner because our profound commitment to
customer service. Every member of our technical support staff has had direct training from the
manufacturer. We are available 7 days a week for support, even during

Innovation and quality are the hallmarks of the “Classic” line of gate openers. This line is known
for innovations that really matter. Yes, it is true that some if the
new openers look sleeker or have better aesthetic designs but the folks that manufacture the classic
focus on something much deeper. Currently the classic swing
operators are the only openers on the market that have solved the soft close locking issue with their
true lock system. It is this type of innovation that keeps this line in
front of the pack for meaningful innovations.
This design is 40+ years old, it has survived because it “just works” its super simple and reliable
worm drive gear reduction, sealed ball bearings and acme screw
combination leaves very little to go wrong, giving the Estate Swing Classic one of the longest life
expectancies in the industry. The Classics’ innovative fully sealed magnetic limit switches are the
perfect pair, adding even more to their reputation of quality.
The focus on life expectancy and cross compatibility has been great, we have been through a half
dozen board upgrades that all match with the same opener
arms. This allows for customers to enjoy the latest innovations in the industry, easily added to their
existing operator arms. We meet with factory reps face to face at
least twice a year, when we meet they are constantly probing us for what quality issues may have crept up
and how customer demands are changing. I say the word
“classic” stands for the way that this manufacturer treats its customers, the classic way we all want to
be treated.
