PowerGear Full Wall Slide assistance

[mchero]

Had an issue with the full wall slide last weekend. Was able to gat everything back "InSync" but I believe I need to reprogram the in and out stop points.

From all the PowerGear documentation I see that one can use a Control unit #140-1175 to adjust the motors posistion & then set the stop points.

My question is, Can I set these stop points w/o this teaching module?
All it appears to be is a control module that you can use to move the slide in and out. The slide is back to normal, just does not have the stop points programed so you have to be carefull not to extend or retract too far.

I just don't want to drop a load of money on a device that I'll use perhaps once. We need a tool crib here on RV net!!

Thanks

Ended up finding a teaching pendant on Ebay for $400

07 Discovery 39v Full Wall Slide (3 motors). It has the newer control unit under the bed. Connectors on the PCB as well as the two red IN/OUT buttons that can be pressed w/o a paperclip. The older controller has the "flying connectors" and the in/out holes that need a paperclip to press.
The panel at the front of the coach just has the in/out switch & lock. Not sure if the control board has any LED's

The slide does have the "fingers" on each topside corner that fold out & lock the slide for travel. Will I pull her in I hold in the in button, slide comes in & the fingers will lock it & then turn on the

Currently all is 100% functional. After I got everything back in sync w/o damage or dents/scratches. Just need to reprogram the stop points. I can extent/retract w/o issue, I just have to e carefull not to go past the out stop w/o going too far.

I "believe" my issues where related to the rear finger/lock. I was inspecting the fingers on the backside & noticed that some wires had been pinched at one time. Someone had the brains to tape the damage but NOT wire-tie the wires out of the way!

I also noticed that the rear of the slide needs to come in about 1/2 inch. Instruction say to manually move motor3 (rear of slide) in to 1/2 crush the seal & set in-stop point.

I did send Power Gear an email asking price availability of the teaching pendant. Prior post I found on another forum states about $650.00 for that sucker! I'm getting more & more into RV reapir so I just might need such a device. The device itself, I'd love to know if it has any electronics in it or is it just a bunch of switches & buttons...not sure.

UPDATE:
Just got a quick return email from Power Gear and yes, they don't want to talk to me. Refer me to a reseller. WOW, that will be real easy this time of year!



Here's a PDF that has the exact directions for my setup.

You should be able to program the system without the teaching Pendant. I have the manual at work. Is your system the one with the touch pad with the led lights and the electric lock arms? You use a toothpick to override the system? Doug
