Power
1. The Estate Swing E-SC 1600 comes with 1) 24V transformer. The transformer supplied has 2
screw terminals to connect to. You may locate the transformer up to
144’ (single) or
72’ (dual) away from the control board using 2 conductor stranded direct burial wire as
specified below
.
2. Insert the two wires from the transformer into the two VAC terminals on the control board
(CN1). The wires are not polarized, there is no positive or negative.
Do not splice the power
cable wire.
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 de-
stroy 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.
Allow at least 4’ of wire between the control board and the trans-
former.
1. Plug the
transformer
into a 110 V AC outlet.
2. The transformer is not weather proof and must be kept in a cov-
ered area.
Plug covers are available from your dealer, contact 1-800-
640-GATE for a dealer in your area.
3. Two 12V DC batteries may be run in series as backup to the 24V
transformer power. Running two 12V batteries (Max 5 a/h per bat-
tery) in series creates a 24V system,
you cannot run them in parallel
(see diagram to the left)
4. The power light located below the +24V and –24V output termi-
nals will be on if the power is connected properly. If the light is off
then power through the transformer is not functioning properly and
either the unit has no power or is on battery backup.
The light stays
off during battery backup.
