Section 5: Slideout Systems
Manually pushing in the slideout
1.
Locate the slideout system controller.
2.
Unplug motor 1 and motor 2 connectors at the bottom of the slideout controller. This
releases the motor brakes for each motor.
3.
The slideout room can now be manually pushed in. Larger rooms may require several
people to push or pull them.
4.
Keep both sides of the slideout relatively even while pushing/pulling.
5.
When the room is completely in, plug both motor connectors back into the control
module. This will apply the motor brakes for road travel.
Disengage motors, manually retract the room and travel lock
1.
Locate and remove the motor retention screw, which can be found near the top of each
vertical column (Fig. 3).
Bend back the wipe seal and visually locate the motor (Fig. 4).
2.
3.
Pull the motor up until it disengages (about 1/2 inch).
4.
Repeat this process for both sides of the slide room.
5.
Physically push/ pull the room back into the opening; keep both sides relatively even.
6.
The room must be travel locked to keep the room in place for road travel.
DO NOT MOVE THE RV UNLESS THE MOTORS ARE PLUGGED IN
TO THE CONTROLLER AND THERE IS BATTERY POWER TO THE
RV. THIS SETS THE BRAKES ON THE SLIDEOUTS TO PREVENT
THEM FROM MOVING DURING TRANSIT.
Error Codes
When an error code occurs during operation, the board LEDs lights will indicate where the
problem is. For motor specific faults the green LED will blink (1) time for motor #1 and (2)
times for motor #2. The red LED will blink 2 to 9 times depending on the error code. Error
codes are as follows:
Battery capacity is low enough to drop below 6 volts while running.
2 times
Battery (low) voltage is below 8 volts at the start of a cycle.
3 times
Battery (high) voltage is greater than 18 volts.
4 times
Excessive motor current (high amperage) also indicated by (1) side
5 times
of the slide continually stalling.
Motor short circuit: motor or wiring to motor has shorted out.
6 times
Hall signal not present: encoder not providing a signal; usually a
8 times
wiring problem.
Hall power short to ground: power to encoder has been shorted to
9 times
ground; usually a wiring problem.
The board will need to be reset after an error code. Energizing the extend / retract switch will
reset the board; energizing it a second time will return it to normal operation.

Norco Slideout System
The Norco slideout system is a cable driven slide out used typically on towable products.
The cables guide the room in or out, while the Accu-Slide mechanism evenly pow-
ers the corners keeping the room square.
