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 ofwiring 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 isconnected, but
cannot be connected until after the system has been high potted.
The control box WILL be damaged if any ofthe leads are grounded or touched
together when power isconnected 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” selftapping 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)

Step 6) Extend room out to half way, and then doa full retract to initialize the controller.
NOTE: If the slide-out is initially positioned past the half way point, it only needs to be fully
retracted to initialize thecontroller.
NOTE: Maximum motor amperage draw during room extension should be less than Maximum
motor amperage during room retraction.
NOTE: For troubleshooting information, see Power Gear Tip Sheet #173.

Operation assumes the switch is being pushed to the "IN" position.
Connections assume the "SWITCH IN PIN" refers to the pin directly below
the "OUT" position on the switch and “SWITCH OUT PIN” refers to the pin
directly below the “IN” position on the switch.

Note: "SWITCH IN PIN" refers to the pin directly below the "OUT" position on the switch and
“SWITCH OUT PIN” refers to the pin directly below the “IN” position on the switch.
