Power Gear Slim Rack Slideout System
The Power Gear® Slim Rack slideout is typi-

It is operated by a 12VDC electric mo-
tor.
The system is equipped with a manual
override allowing the room to be ex-
tended / retracted in the event of a pow-
er loss.
The system has a controller (Fig 1) with programmable
stops that stop the motor when the room is fully extend-
ed or retracted.
The controller has the ability to detect faults for easier
troubleshooting.
A wall mounted touchpad allows room movement and
provides end user feedback.
