Slim Rack Slide-out Manual

Troubleshooting

This control has the ability to detect and display several faults. When a fault is detected, the room movement 
may stop and 2 different LEDs on the control box will flash in a pattern.

• 

The Fault Code LED (Fig. 9) on the rocker switch will flash RED a number of times corresponding to 
the number of red flashes on the control box (Fig. 9). Refer to the troubleshooting chart below to best 
determine what caused the fault.

• 

The Motor LED (Fig. 9) on the control box will flash GREEN a number of times corresponding to which 
motor had the associated fault. For example: 2 GREEN flashes and 4 RED flashes means there is a motor 
fault on motor 2.

NOTE: 

For major faults, the control will automatically enter "Emergency Jog" mode when motor movement 
is not detected by the control box in either direction during room actuation.  When in "Emergency 
Jog" mode, the control will jog both motors in the direction the rocker switch is pressed (IN or OUT).  
The rocker switch may need to be pressed multiple times to fully retract or extend the room.  Take 
the unit to an OEM authorized dealer for service. 

NOTE: 

The control box will return to normal operation mode after 5 minutes of inactivity or by cycling 
power to the control box.
