ELECTRICAL WIRING INFORMATION FOR S/O 

SENSING CONTROLLER

 

The sensing controller is designed to provide different trip settings for the “In” and 
“Out” strokes of the slide

-

out.   

CAUTION

:  

The wiring for the slide-out should be completed per the following wiring 
diagram or the RV may be damaged. 

Modification of wiring schematic 

other than reversal of motor leads

  

WILL 

cause improper operation

 

of the sensing controller and the slide-out, and may 

cause damage to the RV. 

CAUTION

:

 

The switch wires, motor wires and ground wire can be connected to the control 
at any time during installation prior to the power being connected. The battery 
line must be connected to the control 

BEFORE

 the battery is connected, but  

cannot be connected until after the system has been high potted.   

The control box 

WILL

 be damaged if any of the leads are grounded or touched 

together when power is connected to the system. 

Step 1) 

Locate control box somewhere safe from damage, water and dust. 

Step 2) 

Secure control box to a sturdy wall or floor using a 3/16” self tapping wood or sheet    
metal screw in the holes provided.  

Step 3) 

Prior to power hookup connect all wires per the attached wire hookup instruction 
table and wiring schematic. 

Step 4) 

Verify wire connections are correct. 

 Prior to power hookup

, verification of switch 

wire connections may be accomplished by checking continuity.  Verify continuity 
between the wire to be connected to the “SW.IN” and chassis ground when the 
switch is depressed to the “IN” position.  Also, verify continuity between the wire to 
be connected to the “SW.OUT” and chassis ground when the switch is depressed to 
the “OUT” position. 

Step 5) 

Provided the previous step has been followed, 

if the red wire is connected to the 

+12V source, the motor will turn clockwise, viewed from face mount when the switch
is depressed to the “IN” position.

NOTE:  

If motor runs in reverse direction, verify switch connections are correct and reverse

 

motor leads. (

Do not reverse switch leads
