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 destroy 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.
3. Plug the transformer into a 110 V AC outlet.
4. 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.
5. 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 battery) in series creates
a
24V system, you cannot run them in parallel (see
diagram to the left)
6. The power light located below the +24V and –24V
output terminals 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.
