Most likely eats off a Circuit breaker (Self resetting thermal)
I have not yet found the fried controller for my slides eitehr
I built a new one out of a pair of SPDT relays. Someone else posted a schematic on one of the forums I visit but here are the basics
The motor has two wires.. These go to the moving contacts on teh relays (Armature)
The Normally closed is ground
The normally open is HOT
THe switch (And not an RF controller as well) feed the relays.
NOTE: this is a NON protected systemk holding the switch closed can fry the motor.. I do shut off power to the system when not sliding.
