  • Page 21: Electrical Components

    Electrical Components NOTE: The controller will accept a rocker switch input by a four-pin Molex connector (recommend 39-01- 2045 or equivalent). The OEM is responsible for supplying the mating connector to the controller connector (Molex P/N 39301040). The controller is not waterproof. Mount the controller in a clean, dry and weathertight location that will keep it from being damaged but is easily accessible for service.

  • Page 24: Modes

    Modes The SlimRack Plus Slide-Out controller has multiple operating modes. Normal Operating Mode This is the operating mode which extends and retracts the slide while maintaining synchronization between the two sides. The controller will self-synchronize, detect end-of-travel, detect and store faults and electronically protect the slide-out when certain faults are detected.

  • Page 25: Manual Override Mode

    When manually retracting the slide-out room, make sure that both sides of the slide-out room move together. Damage to the slide-out room may result if movement is not uniform. Manual Override Mode In the event that power is lost to the slide-out motor(s), the slide-out room can be manually retracted by following these steps.

  • Page 26: Alternate Override Modes

    Alternate Override Modes If none of the previous override methods retract the slide-out room, it may be possible to manually retract the slide-out room by one of the following alternate methods. Both of these procedures will only be possible if there is access to the described areas. Manually retract the slide-out room using a ratchet and socket attached to the end of the coupler (Fig.
