Power Gear Slim Rack Slideout System
The Power Gear® Slim Rack slideout is typically used for
slideouts 144” long and longer.
It is operated by a 12VDC electric motor.
The system is equipped with a manual override allowing
the room to be extended / retracted in the event of a power
loss.
The system has a controller (Fig 1) with programmable
stops that stop the motor when the room is fully extended
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.
Operating the Slideout
The slideout will not function until the stops are properly set or
faults are cleared.
A solid “ON” GREEN LED
indicates room movement.
The RED LED indicates a fault or a problem
with the system.
(Refer to the
Fault Diagnostics / Troubleshooting
