Manual override for the in-wall slideout

The slideout system comes with an “electronic” manual override. In the event, the slide-out does not extend or retract follow these steps to override the system which should allow the slide-out to be retracted.

NOTE:
Fuses for the slideouts can be found in the load center and may be designated as auxiliary or slideout motors.

1. Locate the slideout system controllers. There should be one for each slideout on the recreation vehicle. They are typically located on the forward wall or ceiling of a basement compartment. In some models, they may be behind a cargo-lined panel.
2. The malfunctioning controller should have a flashing red LED indicating a halt signal fault (will flash 8 or 9 times).
3. Press the “mode button” six times quickly, then press a seventh time and hold for approximately 5 seconds.
4. The red and green LEDs will flash indicating you are in override mode. Release the mode button.
5. Using either a wall or command center panel switch, press and hold the switch toward the word IN or RETRACT until the unit comes in completely. This will allow you to get the recreation vehicle to a service center to have the slideout malfunction diagnosed.

Caution
Call your dealer or Customer Service if:

• During the override procedure, the motors are not synchronized. Visually watch the room, and if one side is moving significantly slower than the other (or not at all).
• If the system stalls out before reaching the end of the stroke OR if the room does not close and seal tightly.

Manually pushing in the slideout

1. Locate the slideout system controller.
2. Unplug motor 1 and motor 2 connectors at the bottom of the slideout controller. This releases the motor brakes for each motor.
3. The slideout room can now be manually pushed in. Larger rooms may require several people to push or pull them.
4. Keep both sides of the slideout relatively even while pushing/pulling.
5. When the room is completely in, plug both motor connectors back into the control module. This will apply the motor brakes for road travel.

Disengage motors, manually retract the room and travel lock

1. Locate and remove the motor retention screw, which can be found near the top of each vertical column (Fig. 3).
2. Bend back the wipe seal and visually locate the motor (Fig. 4).
3. Pull the motor up until it disengages (about 1/2 inch).
4. Repeat this process for both sides of the slide room.
5. Physically push/ pull the room back into the opening; keep both sides relatively even.
6. The room must be travel locked to keep the room in place for road travel.

Warning
DO NOT MOVE THE RV UNLESS THE MOTORS ARE PLUGGED IN TO THE CONTROLLER AND THERE IS BATTERY POWER TO THE RV. THIS SETS THE BRAKES ON THE SLIDEOUTS TO PREVENT THEM FROM MOVING DURING TRANSIT.

Error Codes

When an error code occurs during operation, the board LEDs lights will indicate where the problem is. For motor-specific faults the green LED will blink (1) time for motor #1 and (2) times for motor #2. The red LED will blink 2 to 9 times depending on the error code.

Error codes are as follows:

• 2 times Battery capacity is low enough to drop below 6 volts while running. 3 times Battery (low) voltage is below 8 volts at the start of a cycle.
• 4 times Battery (high) voltage is greater than 18 volts.
• 5 times Excessive motor current (high amperage) also indicated by (1) side of the slide continually stalling.
• 6 times Motor short circuit: motor or wiring to motor has shorted out.
• 8 times Hall signal not present: encoder not providing a signal; usually a wiring problem.
• 9 times Hall power short to ground: the power to encoder has been shorted to ground; usually a wiring problem.
  The board will need to be reset after an error code. Energizing the extend/retract switch will reset the board; energizing it a second time will return it to normal operation.

Norco Slideout System
The Norco slideout system is a cable-driven slide-out used typically on towable products.

• The cables guide the room in or out, while the Accu-Slide mechanism evenly powers the corners keeping the room square.
• Motors and cables are behind the interior fascia board around the slideout opening.
• Cables may stretch over time. The average stretch will be approximately 1/8” but it will not affect the function and does not require adjustment.
• Slideout runs off the DC power in the RV.
• Rubber wipes prevent debris from entering the unit and actuation guides the bulb seals to close tightly.
• The self-locking motor freezes the room in any position of travel.
• Slideout is supported by rollers or wear bars not the cables. Cables are used to keep the slideout balanced on the rollers.
• If the room will not activate, generally there is no 12V power to the drive motor. The motor is equipped with a hex drive override shaft. This drive can be activated using an electric drill and the flexible shaft provided with each unit (or use a ratchet to actuate the motor) to pull the room in or out. If the motor is functioning, check the room for obstructions.

Norco Slideout Manual Operation

1. Locate the included flexible shaft in your owner’s packet.
2. Attach the flexible shaft to the 1/4” hex fitting on the end of the motor.
3. Attach 1/4” socket & ratchet, or drill to the other end, and turn in the proper direction to move the room.
4. If the cables tighten, and the motor is difficult to turn, REVERSE THE DIRECTION. OVER-TORQUEING CAN HAPPEN, RESULTING IN SEVERE DAMAGE.

Power Gear Slideout System
Manual Override – The slideout system is equipped with a manual override that allows you to extend or retract the room in the event of a loss of power.
