WARNING
Always makesure that the
bunk lift path is clear of
people and objects before
and during operation of
the bunk lift. Always
keep awayfrom the bunk
lift rails whenroom is
being operated. The gear
assembly may pinch or
catch on loose clothing.
CAUTION
During override mode the
control has no stop
locations. Damage to the
bunk can occur during
over travel of the bunk lift
rails. Do not allow rails to
become too far out of
syncwith eachother. This
willcause the bunk to
bind and may cause
damage to the bunk lift
rail.
WARNING
If the bunk wasmoved
whilethe encoder was
unplugged, the bunk
stops will need to be
reset. Consult the correct
manual or TIP Sheet for
the proper procedure.

Read, understand, and follow all instructions in this test before starting.
Test 1: Use this test only if the slide out room can be moved while in override
mode (see manual #3010002675). To enter Override mode:
1. Write downthe number of flashes indicated by the red and green LED's on the
touch pad for reference later.
2. Remove the touch pad from the wall.
3. Press and hold the "sets stops/clear fault" button on the back of the touch pad for 5
seconds. Both LED's will come on solid, after 5 secondsthe Green LED will flash and
Red will stay solid.
4. Press and hold all the motor buttons on the back of the touch pad.Press the UPor
DOWN button on the front of the touch pad until the room moves at least 12" in either
direction. Once the room is moved 12", release the UP or DOWN button. The Bunk
Lift Controlbox times out after 2 minutes of no movement. If it times out, start
process overbeginning withstep 3.
5. If the room will not operate in override mode, proceedto Test 2
(document number 82-S0532), or contact Lippert Components atwww.lci1.com.
Note: All theharnesses need tostay plugged in during this test.

CAUTION
Step 1: Verifying incoming voltage and ground to the control box.
The slide out control main power connector needs a minimum of +12V DC anda
good ground tooperate correctly. This requires thecoach engineto berunning.
See note to left.
To test the 1510000199 control,backprobe the power connector using a
multi-meter and check for a minimum of +12V DC at the main power connection.
probe between the "BATT +"and "GND –" See Figure 1
If no power or ground or less than 12 DCVolts ismeasured
between the pins, contact the OEM for thepowerand ground
sources.
During override mode the
control has no stop
locations. Damage to the
bunk can occur during
over travel of the bunk lift
rails. Do not allow rails to
become too far out of
syncwith eachother. This
willcause the bunk to
bind and may cause
damage to the bunk lift
rail.
WARNING
If the bunk was moved
while the encoder was
unplugged, the bunk
stops will need to be
reset. Consult the correct
manual or TIP Sheet for
the proper procedure.
Step 2: Verifying the control box issending powerand ground to
the encoder. See noteto left. Set multi-meter to DC volts, and back probe at
the "motor 1" and "motor 2" connectors. To test motor 1 encoder, probe between
"SEN-VCC" (power) and"SEN-GND"(ground)at motor 1 connector. To test motor 2
encoder, probe between "SEN-VCC" (power) and"SEN-GND"(ground)at motor 2
connector.This voltage should read 10-12VDC. See Figure 2

NOTE
Note: All the harnesses
need to stay plugged in
during this test.
Step 3: Checking the first encoder signal. There are 2 signal wires per encoder. See note
to left.
Set multi-meter to AC Volts, and while the room (use override mode) is moving back probe at the
controller sensor connection. For the motor 1 encoder, probe between the "SEN-GND" and "SEN
SIG 1" at motor 1 connector. For the motor 2 encoder probe between the "SEN -GND" and "SEN
SIG 1" at motor 2 connector.
See Figure 3. This should be a steady AC signal. If there is a steady AC Voltage, proceed to
step 5.
CAUTION
During emergency retract
mode the control has no
stop locations. Damage
to the bunk can occur
during over travel of the
bunk lift rails. Do not
allow rails to become too
far out of sync with each
other. This will cause the
bunk to bind and may
cause damage to the
slide-out rail.
WARNING
If the bunk was moved
while the encoder was
unplugged, the room
stops will need to be
reset. Consult the correct
manual or TIP Sheet for
the proper procedure.
Step 3 Continued: Checking for the second encoder signal.
Set multi-meter to AC Volts, and while the room (use override mode) is moving, back probe at
the controller sensor connection. For motor 1 encoder probe between the "SEN-GND" and
"SEN SIG 2" at motor 1 connector. For motor 2 encoder, probe between the "SEN-GND" and
"SEN SIG 2" at motor 2 connector. See Figure 4. This should be a steady AC signal. If there is
a steady AC Voltage, proceed to step 5.
Step 4: Checking the harness continuity and all connections.
If there is no voltagereadingfrom theencoderor the AC Voltage reading was NOT steady,
check the following:
A: Check the continuity of the harness between the control box encoder pinsand the motor
encoder pins. Ifthe harness does not have continuity, then replace the bad wire, or the
harness. The harness can also be checked from pin to pin for continuity,and from each pin
to ground. There should notbe continuity to ground, or pin to pin.
B: Check the connectionsat the motor and control box.Repair any loose connectionsorloose
pins. Ifthe continuity of all the harness wires tests good, and connections are good,then replace
the motor assembly. See the motor labelforthe PowerGear part number for replacement.
Step 5: If the tests instep 3 show asteady AC Voltage at the controller sensor connection,
please contact Lippert Components at www.lci1.com for further diagnostic.
