Cardale Autoglide operator
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION
WARNING – INCORRECT INSTALLATION CAN
LEAD TO SEVERE INJURY FOLLOW ALL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before installing the operator check that the door is in
good mechanical condition, and correctly balanced, and
that it opens and closes properly.
Do not use the force adjustments to compensate for
a binding or sticking garage door. Excessive force will
interfere with the proper operation of the Safety Reverse
System or damage the garage door.
Do not wear rings, watches or loose clothing while
installing or servicing a garage door operator.
To avoid serious personal injury from entanglement,
remove any ropes connected to the garage door before
installing the door operator.
Install the remote mounted bell push button within
sight of the door but away from any moving parts and
at a height of at least 1.5 metres.
Permanently fix the label warning of entrapment in a
prominent place or near the remote bell push button.
The safety reverse system test is very important.
The garage door must reverse when obstructed on
closing. Failure to properly adjust the operator may
result in serious personal injury from a closing garage
door. Repeat the test once a month and make any
needed adjustments (see Section 7 in manual –
Safety sensitivity check.)
SAFETY NOTE: If there is a chance that children
may play in the entry of the garage then ensure
the child lock is ENABLED so that the door CANNOT
be operated from the button (see Section 6c).

AFit only to Cardale CD 45 and CD PRO garage doors, conversion kits
are required for fitting to other trackless gear systems. (See back page)
BDo not fit Autoglide to any door larger than 8' 0" wide ×7' 0" high
(2438 ×2134mm).
CThe timber “goalpost‘’ frame must be a minimum of 70mm wide at
the right-hand side of the door looking from the inside of the garage and
the frame must be in good condition and securely fixed.
DEnsure the door is correctly tensioned and properly lubricated.
The operator will not function properly if the door is poorly installed in
any way. Also check that lifting cables and gear are in good condition.
EPrior to installing your Autoglide unit ensure all tools, etc are
available inside the garage.
FEnsure that there is a suitably positioned 240v 13A socket outlet
available inside the garage, this must be earthed.
1Pre-installation checks
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local building
and electrical codes. Connect the power cord only to properly earthed mains .
Use a ring main 13 amp 3 pin socket installed by a qualified electrician.
The plug should be fitted with a 5 amp fuse.
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
NOTE: For optimum electrical safety this operator should be
connected to a circuit protected by an R.C.D. (max. 30mA trip rating)
If the garage has no service entrance door then an exterior release kit
MUST be fitted. This accessory allows manual operation of the garage
door from outside in case of power failure. (See back page)
Disconnect electric power to the garage door operator before making
repairs or removing covers.
Use the manual release lever to disengage the motor drive ONLY when
the drive is switched OFF and, if possible, when the door is fully closed.
Examine the installation, in particular the cables, spring and
mountings, for signs of wear, damage or imbalance. Do not use if repair
or adjustment is needed since a fault in the installation or an incorrectly
balanced door may cause injury.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
Only operate the door when the door is in full view, free of obstacles
with no persons (particularly children) near the door. Nobody should
be allowed to enter or leave the garage whilst the door is in motion.

8Autoglide status modes
Stand by mode
When Autoglide is in stand-by mode the LED is constant red which
indicates “power on”. The LED will be either flashing green or
constant green dependant upon child lock setting. If there is a problem
detected, a flashing red LED will be seen. If this is the case turn the power
supply switch on the unit OFF for 5 seconds then ON again to re-set the
unit. See “Configuring your Autoglide operator” (Section 6). If the unit
displays an alternate flashing red/green LED the unit has detected a fault,
which may require a service call (see problem solving).
To operate the door press the nominated button on the key fob. If the
child lock is disabled (flashing green LED) the door can also be operated
by pressing the button on the motor unit.
Obstruction
CLOSING When Autoglide detects a obstruction.i.e. something in the
way of the door, or a stiff runner etc. the LED will flash red for a
short period.
If there has been an obstruction when the door is travelling DOWN
(closing) the door will stop, the LED will flash red and the door
will reverse and return to the open position. As the door is opening
the LED will be red until the door is fully open. It will then change to
green/flashing green.
OPENING If there is an obstruction when the door is travelling UP (opening)
the will flash red for a period then change to green/flashing green.
The door will remain in this position until the next command signal is
received when it will then reverse and travel to the CLOSED position.
