The Estate Swing Cell Phone Access Receiver is the ultimate in versatility and convenience for remote opening of any gate opener. This receiver totally eliminates the necessity of purchasing or carrying extra remotes because it provides access to the gate opener through an item most people already carry - a cell phone. Simply dial the receiver number and, through caller ID, the receiver will recognize the programmed number(s) and open the gate. This is more secure than traditional remotes because the number has to be programmed into the receiver to operate it, so there is less of a chance that unauthorized persons will be able to operate the gate.

It's convenient for small apartment complex managers and their residents since the residents' numbers can be programmed into the receiver so the manager doesn't need to purchase and hand out extra remotes. Similarly, because so many numbers can be programmed into the receiver, each member of the family, plus friends, extended family, and others, can operate the receiver easily and conveniently.

It works this way. Purchase a GSM SIM card from T-Mobile. Customers can purchase pay-as-you-go cell numbers (disposable phones for example) or add another line to the current cellular plan. The intercom will then receive commands from authorized users via cell signal. No minutes are used as it doesn't actually answer the calls - it utilizes caller ID to allow access.

Finally, the range of this receiver is truly unlimited, so long as there is a cell tower available to receive and transmit the call. This is particularly beneficial in areas that have a great deal of interference for traditional radio transmitters and receivers, or for users who wish to open the gate from extended distances (such as from home, garage, or lengthy driveway). The Estate Swing Cell Phone Access Receiver allows the user to avoid all that while providing a simple, secure, and convenient means of operating the gate opener.

• Cool Feature: When the gate is activated, the receiver can be programmed to send a text message to administrators. You can customize that message too.
• Unlimited Range: So long as there is an operational cell tower and there is no interference with the signal, the range is unlimited for this receiver. It is possible to call the receiver from across the country and it will operate the gate.
• Programmable Caller ID: The receiver permits access through caller ID; up to 99 different numbers can be programmed into the receiver's caller ID. Users simply call the receiver's number (determined by the SIM card; not included) and it opens upon recognition of the number. Because the receiver does not pick up the call, no minutes are used. One method is that users purchase a go-phone or track phone with a SIM card so the SIM card has a number attached to it; users may also add an extra line to their current cell phone service and use a SIM card for the extra line.
• Easy to Install: This receiver runs right off the control box power source, so installation is simple.

The solar panel is completely weatherproof and virtually indestructible. Estate Swing's non-glass solar panels feature a clear front covering and are mounted to an anodized aluminum frame. The heart of the solar panel is the collection of solar cells, which optimizes the amount of energy absorbed even in low light situations. Each cell transforms the sunlight into energy through a photovoltaic process (converting photons into electrons). Working as a cohesive unit these cells can generate electricity that will work with solar compatible gate opener systems. As a rule of thumb; heavier gates and/or more frequent cycles (a cycle is defined as one open and closure) the more solar wattage you’ll need. Review your gate opener manual for information on which panel would best suit your needs.

*Make and model may vary from picture above.

Optimum Orientation for Solar Panels: (Your Latitude x 0.9)+ 29 Degrees= # of degrees your panel should be angled towards true South from the horizontal position (laying flat pointing directly up)

The detector's small size and lack of any switches or dials, becomes the industry's first solar powered "Plug-and-Play" vehicle detector. The Diablo Controls Safety Loop Detector is preset to the normal sensitivity level used in parking/access control applications, and tunes itself to the best operating frequency. This micro-sized detector will automatically adjust its sensitivity level when used on different sized loops. Environmental conditions are constantly compensated with the Diablo Controls Safety Loop Detector HYPERTRACK software. Diablo Controls Safety Loop Detector 's inherent noise filtering algorithms allow it to work reliably in any electrical situation.

“We are always getting questions about how gate exit wands work and how they are different from exit loops.

Exit wands are what is know as a magnetometer which senses changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. An easy way to explain how exit wands work is to picture a boat traveling through the water. As the boat is traveling it is creating waves. As your car travels through the magnetic field of the Earth it creates similar waves, like the boat. The exit wand’s magnetometer picks up on these waves as you travel by the wand. One downside of exit wands is that they do loose sight of your vehicle when it is stopped.

Gate Crafters carries 5 different types of exit wands that work very similar to each other. The only difference between these wands are some of their features. The GTO/PRO wireless exit wand is wireless between the magnetometer and receiver. The Gate Crafters exit wand is manufactured by EMX and has been around for years. The GTO exit wand is recommend for use with other GTO openers and accessories. The Estate Swing exit wand does come with a range control board that allow you to adjust the sensitivity of the magnetometer. This feature allows you tune down the range of the exit wand, so that vehicles such as a lawn mower doesn’t set open your gate, but this isn’t a complete failsafe, as it will still operate the gate opener when something is nearby. The Estate Swing Deluxe Exit wand is the most different from the other exit wands. It is constructed out of copper and features a ground cable that attach to a grounding rod that helps protect this exit wand from lightning strikes. The other 4 exit wands do not have this feature and are susceptible to damage from lightning strikes. Also the Estate Swing Deluxe Exit Wand comes with a 5 year warranty, which is longer than any other exit wand we sell.

Exit loops differ from exit wands in that they are buried in the driveway in a loop and are wire to the gate opener. The way exit loops work is that they detect the presence of metal (your car) above the loop. It does not matter if your car is moving or not, the loop will detect the car. Besides being used to exit your property, exit loops are used for safety. When exit loops are used a safety device, they will prevent your gate from closing on your car, when it detect a car nearby to your gate. The exit loop is wired to a exit loop detector, which is then wired into your gate opener’s control board.
