System Information Fig. 1

The Smart Room must be installed on a structural wall. The OEM must
design the wall and fixing points according to the maximum allowable
weight of the room and according to the overall weight of the room.
The weight of the room must not exceed 500 kg maximum. The 37 mm
nominal distance between the external side of the room and the internal
side of the hole is 37 mm (Fig. 1).
The OEM has to consider a tolerance on the aluminum frame of ±1 mm.
LCI recommends increasing the dimensions of the hole in the wall by
1 mm, both in height and width, to ensure correct installation.
Safety

Failure to follow the instructions provided in this manual may result in death, serious personal injury,
severe product or property damage or voiding of the component warranty.

Always wear eye protection when performing service or maintenance. Other safety equipment to consider
would be hearing protection, gloves and possibly a full face shield, depending on the nature of the service.

Moving parts can pinch, crush or cut. Keep clear and use caution.

Assembly
1. Identify the aluminum corner sections to be installed.
Note: Each corner is marked with circular depressions drilled on the inside of the aluminum corner
near the motor mount. There will be one, two, three or four depressions in the corner piece to
correspond with the proper position on the room (Fig. 4).

2. Check the distance between the edge of the corner section and the end of the notch in the wall panels.
A 2 mm gap between the corner edge and the notch must be maintained to allow space for glue
(Figs. 5 and 6).
3. The aluminum fingers of the corners and the external surfaces of the wall must be flush. When the glue is
applied, check if it is necessary to remove the excess glue to make the junction aligned (Figs. 5 and 6).
Note: The face of the room also must be kept flat and even since this is the outside face of the box.

 4. Fasten the walls and corners together using glue and one of two options: Plastic KD block inserts
(Fig. 7) with screws or wall clips (Fig. 8). The connected pieces should be not be moved until the glue
has cured.
Note: To install a KD block, a countersink hole is drilled in the panel to seat the plastic connector. Pre-drill
a screw hole, and then insert a sheet metal screw of adequate length. Tighten firmly to attach the
corner to the panel. There is a minimum distance of 2 mm from the edge of the wall panel to the
edge of the KD block (Fig. 7).

5. Build the slide-out room starting with the floor of the slide-out.
6. Add glue to all four edges of a corner section, and also add a continuous bead of glue to the edge of
the box for sealant.
7. Install screws or wall clips to connect the corner.
8. Continue building the slide-out room by connecting contiguous sections.
9. Add glue to all corners and panel edges and attach panels to corners with KD blocks or wall clips.
10. Use an internal jig for the room to maintain dimensions during the curing of the glue. Keep jig in place
until the frame is fixed on the wall of the caravan.
11. After the glue has cured, check room dimensions and angles. Dimensions must be within ±1 mm and
angles must be 90 degrees. If dimensions and angles meet specifications, continue with installation.

Installation of Aluminum Frame and Seal
1. Prepare to remove the motors and the drive assemblies from one side of the slide-out room, either
figure 4-1 and 4-3 or figure 4-2 and 4-4, in order to install the aluminum frame on the room.
2. Remove four screws on the end of the drive assembly (Fig. 9), taking care not to damage the rubber seal.
Remove four screws on the motor assembly, including two on the outside and two on the inside (Fig. 10).
3. Using an extraction tool (Fig. 11), part the seals and insert tool over the threaded spindle rod that forks
outward. Slide tool under the end block (Fig. 12).
4. Lift up in a rocking motion and pull away drive assembly (Fig. 13).
Note: Keep area clean during the removal to avoid inclusion of external material.

5. Without the seal installed, the frame must be slipped over the room using a rotational movement. Start
from the side with the two motors still attached (Fig. 14), so the frame can be measured for proper
clearance with 13 mm spacers (Fig 15).
Note: Use at least two spacers on each side of the frame. This distance is important to allow the proper fit
of the frame's seal on the surface of the room.
6. Remove the frame from the room.
7. Install the V-seal onto the frame using a soft mallet (Fig. 16). Seal must be inserted so it comes in
contact with the aluminum corner (Fig 17).
Note: Apply mild, soapy water to aid in the seal installation. However, do not allow water near the area
where the seal will be spliced together.
8. Make sure seal ends are square. Keep an additional 20 mm in length on the long side of the seal (Fig. 18).
9. Cut the seal while leaving 20 mm extra, butt the ends together and then pound in the extra length
behind the connected ends.
10. Superglue the ends together (Fig. 19).

11. Slip the frame over the room, using mild soapy water to ease installation.
12. Check to make sure the frame's seal fits over every side of the room (Fig. 20). Locate the frame at the
approximate center before attempting to fit the room into the cutout.
13. Reinstall the motors and drive spindles.
A. Starting with the end cap on the end of the drive assembly, install one rubber end block with the
disk facing down (Fig. 21).
B. Place one washer inside and one washer outside at the end of the drive assembly (Fig. 22).
C. Install the second rubber end block on top of the first end block and over the end of the drive assembly.
D. Slide drive assembly and attached motor assembly into the corner piece, making sure the wall
bracket is facing to the outside.
E. Align all the parts with the screw holes.
F. Reinstall four screws at the end block. Make sure not to pinch the rubber.
G. Reinstall four motor screws.
14. Check to make sure that the steel brackets of each corner are positioned at the same point to avoid a
misaligned installation.
15. If necessary, align the brackets by moving them a defined distance from the edge of the corner.
Remove the top of the motor and manually move the drive assembly. See Manual Override section for
procedure. The tolerance on this distance must be ±5 mm maximum.
16. Connect the steel bracket of each corner to the aluminum frame with five SD4.8X25 metric self-drilling
screws on each corner (Fig. 23). A groove on the aluminum profile will help in this installation.
17. Check to make sure the nominal distance between the external side of the room and the hole in the
wall is 37 mm.

On-Caravan Phase
Note: Installation of the room into the rough opening of the caravan wall must be completed from
the outside.
1. Insert the room into the rough opening with a rotational movement to allow the passage of
the motors.
Note: If this is too difficult, two motors can be removed during installation.
2. Apply the glue on the inside of the frame to seal it against the wall. Push the frame on the external side
of the caravan wall until the aluminum frame adheres to the wall (Fig. 24).

5. Install rollers at the bottom of the room on the inside of the caravan.
Note: It is recommended that the first roller carry 25 mm of the corner piece (Fig. 26).
A. Rollers are secured by two brackets, one to mount the roller to the frame and one to mount
the first bracket to the inside of the wall -- usable only when the thickness of the wall is less
than 35 mm (Fig. 26).

6. Install two rollers close to the corner, supporting the aluminum profiles for a few millimeters. An
additional notch of 2 mm (Fig. 26) is necessary on the wall to hold the roller.
Note: The distance between two rollers cannot be more than 1 meter center-to-center. If the number of
rollers is odd, put one roller in the middle of the room and space accordingly. The roller placement
should be kept symmetrical.

Electrical Connections
Install the controller, touchpad and electrical harnesses.
1. Mount the controller in a clean, dry and weathertight location that will keep it from being damaged
but is easily accessible for service.
Note: The controller is not waterproof.
2. Determine location to mount the touchpad. The location must be in view of slide-out and have a
minimum depth of 25 mm inside the wall.
3. Route the wire harness to where the touchpad switch will be mounted.
A. Connect the harness to the back of the switch.
B. Mount the switch with two screws.
Wiring Diagram
1. Connect the motor in accordance with the system schematic in figure 28 using harnesses 080-00116
and extension cables 080-00115, if necessary. Each corner has a number defined by the number of
circular depressions drilled on the side of the aluminum profile, e.g. Corner 1 has one circular depression,
Corner 2 has two circular depressions, etc. (Fig. 4).
2. Use electrical harnesses 080-00116 to connect each corner-mounted motor to its corresponding
labeled socket on the controller (Fig. 28) as follows:
A. Connect Corner 1 motor to controller MOTOR 1 socket.
B. Connect Corner 2 motor to controller MOTOR 2 socket.
C. Connect Corner 3 motor to controller MOTOR 3 socket.
D. Connect Corner 4 motor to controller MOTOR 4 socket.

Rev: 05.16.2018 Page 12 Smart Room Slide-out OEM

 3. Use zip ties to secure electrical harnesses to motor brackets. Secure harnesses below the connection to
support the weight of the harness.
4. Connect touchpad to controller with harness code 080-00114.
Note: Connection between the converter and the controller is made at the factory.

Room Position Safety Switch

The system has a magnetic safety switch to determine if the room is extended. This sensor sends an alert to
the driver to advise that the room is extended and the engine is on. When the engine is on, the room can
only move if the handbrake is applied.
Connect sensor and buzzers using two relay boxes (Fig. 28). Buzzers should be rated at 400 mA maximum.
Connect To Battery
After all controller connections have been made, connect the converter to the battery, then program the
controller. See Operation section for controller programming.
Note: Use cables with an area cross-section of 4 mm2 for lengths up to 3 m and cables with an area cross-
section of 6 mm2 for lengths up to 8 m. Only a maximum of two connections per cable run is allowed.

Operation

Calibration
Note: If this is a first-time setup, skip step 1. The control will arrive in calibration mode. The stops can be
recalibrated at any time by starting from step 1.
To calibrate:
1. Press the CAL button (Fig. 29) for six Fig. 29
seconds until the LEDs start alternating.
The system is now in programming
mode.
2. After several seconds the red LED will
begin blinking by itself. This indicates
that the "IN” stop is ready to be set. Calibration
3. Use the individual MOTOR (Fig. 30) Button
plus the IN button (Fig. 31) to move
the room to the fully IN/RETRACTED
position. The system will automatically
learn the retract position if all four
motors encounter a hard stop. If this happens, the system will automatically proceed to the next step.
If this is not possible, or the desired retract position is not at the hard stops, the position must be set
manually. Once the room is in the desired retract position, press the CAL button for six seconds to
learn the retract position.
4. Once the retract position has been set either automatically or manually with the CAL button, the red
LED will stop blinking and the green LED will begin blinking. This indicates that the “OUT” stop is ready
to be set.
5. Use the individual MOTOR (Fig. 30) plus the OUT button (Fig. 31) to move the room to the fully
OUT/EXTENDED position. The system will automatically learn the extend position if all four motors
encounter a hard stop. If this happens, the system will automatically proceed to the next step. If this is
not possible, or the desired extend position is not at the hard stops, the position must be set manually.
Once the room is in the desired extend position, press the CAL button for six seconds to learn the
extend position.

Fig. 30 Fig. 31

6. After setting the extend position, both LEDs will blink together. If they blink slowly and then turn off,
calibration is successful and the system can now be operated normally. If the LEDs blink rapidly and
do not turn off the programming failed (e.g. the IN stop was set further out than the OUT stop, the
minimum distance between stops was not met, etc.). Return to step 1 to retry programming.
7. From this point simply use the IN or OUT buttons to extend/retract the room. The control will keep the
motors in sync and drive each until the programmed stops are reached.
Rev: 05.16.2018 Page 14 Smart Room Slide-out OEM
 Note: When in calibration mode, the motors can move individually or in tandem to set the full IN/OUT
stops.
8. To extend/retract the motors, press the corresponding motor button plus the direction button on the
front of the touchpad. For example, to retract motor 1, simultaneously hold the “MOTOR 1” button
(Fig. 29) and the “IN” button (Fig. 30).
9. To extend motors 2 and 3, press and hold the MOTOR2, MOTOR3 and OUT buttons. To simplify
programming, if no motor buttons are pressed, the extend/retract buttons will move all four motors at
once. This is the only mode for which the buttons on the back of the touchpad will be used.

Normal Operation
For normal operation, the slide-out system can be controlled by a wired touchpad using the IN and OUT
buttons (Fig. 31).
Press the desired direction and hold the button until the room stops. The room will automatically stop at the
configured positions or when the button is released.
Note: If the extend and retract stops are not configured correctly, the system will need to be
reprogrammed at an authorized service facility.
While the room is in motion, the ROOM OR LOCK MOVEMENT green LED will flash. IF a fault is detected, both
the ROOM OR LOCK MOVEMENT green LED and the FAULT CODE red LED will blink specific fault codes. To
correct fault codes, see Fault Code Troubleshooting Chart.

Manual Override
In the event of a component failure or loss of system power, the slide-out room can be manually overridden
and retracted for travel.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove motor cover screws, washers and spacers (Fig. 32).
Note: The motor cover screws and spacers are different lengths. Because of different part lengths, take
note of the side from which the long and short spacers and screws are removed.
2. Place override tool (Fig. 33) on motor coupler (Fig. 32) and turn with a 12 mm wrench. Turn the motor
clockwise to extend the room and counterclockwise to retract it.

Troubleshooting
During use of the system, the touchpad may register faults. If a fault is detected, both the "Room or Lock
Movement" green LED and the "Fault Code" red LED will blink specific fault codes. Refer to Fault Code
Troubleshooting Chart for fault codes. The X in the troubleshooting section means the number of blinks
corresponds to the motor with the issue. Fault codes are cleared (if faults are no longer present) by a power
cycle.
