CAUTION:
The MONOPLEX SLIDE OUT CONTROLLER is a power switching controller used to operate a slide out room
in an RV. Power from the battery of the vehicle is fed to this control. Inadvertent shorts at this box could result in
damage and/or injury.
All servicing of this box should be done only by a qualified Service Technician.
Tools required: Low current test light, DC voltmeter

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
HOW IT WORKS
The MONOPLEX Slide Out Room controller is designed to control the operation of a slide out room electrical
mechanism. It automatically stops the slide out when it reaches its inner or outer limit, by sensing the current drawn
by the motor. This eliminates the need for the owner to hold the switch in the ON position for the entire
extend/retract cycle, or the installation of limit switches and associated wiring.
Typically, the control unit is mounted near the motor mechanism to minimize the length of the heavy gauge wire
used. The switch wires are run from the controller to the wall mounted switch. One of these wires is the control
lead and the other is ground.
To operate the room, momentarily press the button on the switch. The indicator will come on and the slide will
move. When the slide reaches its end of travel, the controller will sense the rise in current and switch off the power
to the motor and indicator light. To move the room back, momentarily press the button to start the room in the
opposite direction. If, at any time during the operation of the slide out, the owner wants to stop the room, he can
push the button and the it will stop. Pressing the button again will start the room in the opposite direction.
The Slide Out Controller switches power to the motor of the mechanism with two double-pole, double-throw relays
. Normally, both leads of the motor are connected to ground, through the relays. When the button is
pressed, one of the relays is closed, connecting that motor lead to +12 volts. Motor current is run through a small
( 0.05 ohms) resistor in the ground lead to sense current.
When the motor is started, the controller ignores the current for approximately two seconds to allow for the start-up
surge. It then begins to sense the current by measuring the voltage drop across the sense resistor. When this
voltage exceeds the preset value, the controller shuts off the motor. The value of current can be adjusted by the
control on the edge of the board. The best setting for this control is the value required to move the room in
and out, without nuisance shut down.
The controller measures motor current to sense when the mechanism reaches the end of its travel. When the
current exceeds a pre-set level the controller will shut off. This current level is adjustable by a pot, mounted on the
unit. If the current is set too low, the mechanism will stop before it reaches the end of travel or during start-up. If it is
set too high, it may damage the mechanism or loosen the trim of the room. The current adjustment pot
only turns 270 degrees. Attempts to force it further will damage it.
1. USINGA SMALL SCREWDRIVER, CENTER THE POT.
2. OPERATE THE ROOM IN BOTH DIRECTIONS TO CHECK OPERATION.
A. If the controller stops before the room reaches its normal stop, adjust the pot clockwise about 20 degrees
and try again. Repeat if necessary within the limits of the pot.
B. If the room hits its stop too hard, adjust the pot counter-clockwise about 20 degrees and try again.
Repeat if necessary within the limits of the pot.
C. Repeat stepsA and B with finer adjustments if desired.
THE CONTROLLER IS NOWADJUSTED FOR NORMAL OPERATION.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
PROBLEM CAUSE/SOLUTION
Room won't slide out, indicator not on.
Room won't slide out, indicator on.
Room fails to fully extend or retract.
Control fails to turn off at end of travel
POSSIBLE
+12 volts not available. Check for +12 volts at
controller. If the voltage is not present, check
fuse/breaker feeding controller.
Check for voltage on switch line. Should be
approximately 2.5 volts with the controller off (5
volts with the motor running). If voltage is less
than 2.5 volts, remove wire from controller and
check voltage on the controller. If it is now 2.5
volts, switch wire is shorted to ground. Locate
switch wire problem.
Controller failed, replace controller.
Motor bad. Check voltage on motor, should be
12 volts with indicator on.
Controller failed, replace controller.
Current adjustment incorrect. Adjust current
trip level to higher value.
Mechanics of mechanism binding or dragging.
Repair mechanics.
Replace controller
Current trip level set too high. Readjust current
level.
Replace controller.
