Power
The Estate Swing E-S 500 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.
Never run 110VAC power directly to the Estate Swing.
This
will destroy the Estate Swing control board. Never plug in the
transformer when the wires are not connected to the board. Contact
between the two lead wires will destroy the transformer.
Connect the wire (not provided) from the transformer to the provided crimp on spade connectors
and connect to the control board marked TRAN. There is no polarity.
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 home stores.
Two 12V DC batteries (min 5 a/h per battery) may be run in series as backup to the 24V transformer
power.
When you install new batteries - manually open the gate and allow the batteries to charge for 24
hours through the system before using the gate opener
.
