Words from Senior Application Engineer Anthony Geato
"Texas is known to have some of the toughest conditions for a slide operator. Some areas have high wind and sand storms, while others get hit with heavy rain. The people at Apollo know this because they live there and they have designed this operator to be effective in their own backyard. And you know if it can stand up there, it can stand up just about anywhere.
The real highlight of this opener is in its control board. It features Apollo's new 1050US control board. The 1050US is intelligent, easy to use and a leap above many other comparable control boards. Among the many advantages of the 1050US board is the self-adjustment to natural factors. All UL 325 approved boards have an adjustable inherent obstruction sensor. The 1050US board takes it further by self-learning what natural obstructions already exist. For example, if your gate is heavy but you want the obstruction sensor to be very sensitive to avoid damage or injury the 1050US series board will automatically learn changes in the momentum caused by the weight of the gate and differentiate them from an actual obstacle.

The Estate Swing 433 MHz 2 Channel Receiver (433ESREC) is compatible wired with: All gate openers for 24-volt gate openers a 12-volt transformer will be needed (not included)

The Estate Swing 433 MHz 2 Channel Receiver (433ESREC) has the ability to control two separate devices or two different relays on a control board and can learn up to 400 codes. The typical situation for the receiver controlling two devices in a 3 car garage. Usually, there are 2 separate garage door openers in this type of garage and you can utilize the one receiver to control each one of them with a separate button on the remote. Another option for using the two relays on the receiver is controlling two separate terminals on a single gate opener. Many times gate openers will have a terminal for an automated open and close and another terminal for partial opening or open only during re-closing without stopping. A second button on the remote could be used to control this second function.
This receiver is also a plug-in receiver for Estate Swing gate openers. Please see the drop-down options.

Easy Wiring: There are 4 or 6 wires that you need to connect depending on if you are using 1 or 2 channels. Two are for power, which can be AC or DC 12-24V. If you cannot find a power source (most gate openers have a battery you can run it off of) then you can hook it up to a transformer. (Search your junk drawers, many old transformers from other electronics may fall within the generous range allowed by our receiver). The other two wires close a circuit. On a garage door simply find the two terminals that the wall mount button uses.
Strong Range: This is one of the best features of this receiver. The range is rated at 300 feet but many times it can exceed this.
Learn Button Programming: Simply press the learn button on the receiver. A light comes on. Then press the button on the remote you wish to use and the light blinks and turns off. Done! Repeat with other remotes or buttons. This receiver can learn up to 400 remotes
Versatility: Because of the simplicity of the receiver, it can be used to just about any purpose. On Estate Swings there is a second open command terminal for partial openings, you can use this receiver to allow a dual button remote to open your gate fully or partially. On Apollos and GTOs, there are open only terminals, you can use this receiver to create safer automation for multiple remote control users by only allowing them to open the gate and letting auto-close close the gate - great for condos and other public entrances so they cannot accidentally reverse the gate on another car. For any accessories that are not wireless you can use the 433UNIADP 433 MHz adapter paired up with this receiver to make it a wireless device. In addition to all that, it has both a normally open and normally closed connection, allowing it to either open a circuit or close a circuit wirelessly - we have had hundreds of customers that came up with many other great uses for this device.
