OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW OF INSTALLATION

Installation of the ELECTRA-RIDETM II Stairway Elevator consists of the following:

* Determine whether the elevator should be a left- or right-side installation. "Left" or "right"

installation is determined by the side of the stairway on which the rail is installed (viewed from the bottom of the stairs). THE GEAR RACK WILL BE TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE STAIRS. Unless specified otherwise, Bruno Stairway Elevators are set up for left-side installation when shipped, but can easily be converted to right-side installation. Instructions for converting the unit for right-hand installation are included later in this manual.

* Identify and locate lower rail section and bumper bracket assembly.

* Assemble and tighten the rail joint. CAUTION: RAILS CANNOT BE MIXED.

CHECK ID NUMBERS STAMPED AT ENDS OF RAILS.

* Determine the correct length for the rail (using Steps 2 & 4 from the APPLICATION

GUIDE), and cut the rail.

* Install lower bumper assembly.

* Position rail on left or right side of stairway using rail clamp assemblies.

* Manually mount the carriage on the upper rail.

* Adjust the carriage angle by loosening the four angle adjustment bolts.

* Install seat assembly and make electrical connections.

* Secure the footrest.

* When installing a right-side ELECTRA-RIDE

Operation.

* Remove one motor cover (right-side installation only). Reverse the motor leads and set

the two switches to reverse the direction of the Elevator.

INSTALLATION

ASSEMBLY-Residential and Commercial Units

[ ] Determine whether a left- or right-side installation is appropriate for the site. "Left" or

"right" refers to the side of the stairway on which the rail is installed (as viewed from the bottom of the stairs). Unless otherwise specified Bruno Stairway Elevators are shipped from the factory in the left-side configuration. Conversion to right-side installation is easy (instructions included later in this manual ).

[ ] Identify and locate lower rail section appropriate to the installation (left or right).

BUMPER BRACKET INSTALLATION

[ ] Assemble lower rail

[ ] Install bumper bracket.

bumper bracket

FITTING THE RAIL

[ ] Determine the correct length for the rail by measuring along a straight line placed on the

stairs. (SEE STEP 2 IN THE APPLICATION GUIDE) To that amount, add Measurement B (STEP 4 IN THE APPLICATION GUIDE). This process will allow you to custom fit the Elevator to your customer by determining the most comfortable seat-to-floor height within the space available at the top of the stairs.

NOTE: The rail must rest approximately 1/2" to 1" above nosing of the steps and extend from the lower floor to a point beyond the nosing of the top step (see Application Guide Step 4). In some cases where the bottom landing is made of material such as concrete, ceramic tile or slate, the last bracket on the landing may be omitted with a bracket added on the second step from the

bottom and top of stairway.

REMINDER:

THIS RAIL MUST BE INSTALLED 1/2" TO 1" ABOVE STAIR NOSING.

OTHERWISE, FOOTREST WILL HIT THE STEPS, CAUSING

INTERMITTENT OPERATION.

INSTALLATION

CUTTING THE RAIL-Residential and Commercial Units

IMPORTANT NOTE!

Under no circumstances should a rail section be cut shorter than

18” (46 cm). There must be at least (2) clamps on a short rail section (1 at the rail joint and 1 at the rail end). Cutting a rail shorter than 18” (46

cm) would not allow enough room for the (2) necessary clamps.

Example:

After measuring the staircase, you determine you need 9 feet of rail. With your (2) 8-foot sections you decide to use (1) 8-foot section and cut the remaining (1) foot from the second 8-foot section.

Doing this could yield a rail piece with insufficient weld.

Instead, Bruno recommends cutting at least one foot off one of the

8-foot sections (leaving 7 feet of rail) and then cutting 2 feet from

the second 8-foot section. You will have a (1) 7-foot section and

(1) 2-foot section, both of which are long enough to be properly

mounted (2 clamps minimum per short rail).

NEVER CUT OFF THE JOINT END!

The M6 bolts securing the gear rack must remain intact.

Cut off the end with the pre-drilled charge contact mounting holes.

Then, using the provided template, redrill (2) holes on each end of the rail.

1. Use a metal-cutting power saw or manual hacksaw to cut the rail to length. Cut off the end of the rail to be located at the top of the stairway.

2. Use a file or other appropriate tool to deburr the cut end of the rail. Soften any sharp edges which might abrade the insulation of the wiring to be routed to the bumper at the end of the rail.

USE “O” SIZE DRILL

BIT (8.03mm/.316")

SRE-1550 UL 06-18-2004

3. Use a C-clamp to hold the upper bumper bracket in place in the cut end of the rail.

4. Use the holes in the bumper bracket as guides to drill mounting holes. Use an O-size (8.03 mm/.316") drill bit in the rail.

POSITIONING FOOT CLAMP ASSEMBLIES-Residential and Commercial Units

[ ] Install rail mounting foot clamps in the placement pattern as shown below. Be

sure to leave a minimum space of 1-1/2" from the wall.

*bottom landing *first tread up from bottom landing *top landing *first tread down from top landing *closest tread above and below rail joint(s) *minimum of every third tread over the remainder of the staircase.

NOTE: IF TOP OR BOTTOM CLAMP IS OMITTED BECAUSE THE LANDING IS CEMENT OR CERAMIC TILE , OR IN THE EVENT THAT THE OWNER WISHES NOT TO DRILL HOLES IN THE LANDING, A SET OF CLAMPS SHOULD BE ADDED ON THE SECOND-TO- LAST STEP AND AT THE TOP OF STAIRWAY.

[ ] For ease of installation, finger tighten all clamps to rail. The clamp assembly should

be positioned so the nut is closest to the wall.

[ ] Slide top and bottom clamps down until firmly seated on step. When installing on

carpeted stairs, use a rubber mallet on the clamps to compress carpet and cushion before anchoring to steps.

[ ] Securely install one screw near the wall on the top and bottom of foot of clamp

assemblies. This will enable the installer to change the position of the rail if necessary and prevent drilling excess holes.

[ ] Make sure to use the measurements indicated below as a guide for positioning the

clamp assemblies.

RESIDENTIAL

INFRARED CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER

The call/send system on the Bruno SRE-1550 is based on infrared (IR) controls, the same type of control used for televisions and stereos.

Like a television remote, the SRE-1550 hand-held transmitter may experience certain types of interference. Receivers are mounted on both sides of the SRE-1550 carriage to minimize interference.

Should interference occur, the unit will stop. This feature has been integrated into the SRE-1550 to ensure your safety.

The direct line between the transmitter to either of the (2) transmitters should be clear of obstacles for optimal operation. It may be necessary to reposition the transmitters so that they are aimed at the carriage.

To reduce the possibility of interference:

While riding in the seat, ALWAYS operate the Elevator using the rocker switch on the armrest.

Operating the SRE-1550 with a transmitter while riding in the seat can lead to signal interference.

DO NOT mount the transmitters behind an obstacle such as a rail post.

DO NOT allow direct sunlight to shine on the receivers (blinding the receivers on the

carriage).

DO replace transmitter batteries regularly.

Depleted or nearly-depleted batteries alter the effective range of the transmitter.

DO keep the transmitter and receiver lens free of dirt and debris.

Use a non-abrasive cleaner suitable for glass or acrylic surfaces. Do not use polishes or cleaning products containing wax. These products

will leave a film on the lens that will reduce the signal transmission range.

LEARNING THE REMOTE INFRARED TRANSMITTER-RESIDENTIAL

(not necessary when installing unit for the first time)R

The operating channel of the two (2) infrared transmitters included with the SRE-1550 is pre-set at the Bruno factory.

Should it become necessary to re-learn the transmitters (for example, if there are multiple units in the same location, or in the event you have to replace transmitters) proceed as follows:

Testing the Call/Send Transmitters

A slight delay will occur between the time the rocker switch is depressed and the initiation of carriage movement. This is normal and is a function of the soft start feature of the controller.

♦ Run the unit up and down the stairs using the rocker switch on the carriage. The

unit should operate in such a way that the arrow depressed on the rocker switch corresponds to the desired direction of travel.

The unit should travel noticeably faster going up than down.

♦ Run the unit up and down the stairs using the remote call/send transmitters. Test

both transmitters.

♦ Push the seat into the stored position and run the unit up and down the stairs with

the remote call/send transmitter.

♦ With the seat in the central riding position, move the Elevator completely down and

up the rail, while observing the elevator-to-wall clearance. A clearance of 1/2" to 1" is acceptable. Repeat the run with the seat in the folded position. If necessary, adjust the rail placement by sliding it closer to, or further from the wall.

♦ Verify proper operation of the following: speed, direction, final limit switch, footrest

safety switch, seat swivel safety switch, and remote call/send transmitter.

Train the customer to use the stairway

elevator correctly and safely. Be sure to

have the customer operate the unit while

you are there to answer any questions or

concerns. Remind the customer to always use

the seat belt.

[ ] Coil any excess harness wire and attach it to a rail clamp

located under the rail.

NOTE: THE CHARGER SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO A HOUSEHOLD OUTLET ALL OF THE TIME. THE ELEVATOR IS DESIGNED SO THAT THE BATTERIES WILL BE CHARGED WHEN THE CARRIAGE IS AT ONE OR THE OTHER END OF THE RAIL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CARRIAGE BE "PARKED" AT THE END OF THE RAIL WHEN NOT IN USE TO MAINTAIN FULL BATTERY CHARGE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION

IS WHEN TURNING UNIT 'OFF' (SEE LONG TERM STORAGE SECTION).

IN AN INSTALLATION WHERE THE CARRIAGE CANNOT BE PARKED AT THE END OF THE RAIL (STAIRWAYS WITH A DOOR AT THE TOP, FOR EXAMPLE), THE CARRIAGE SHOULD BE RUN TO THE OTHER END OF THE RAIL WITH THE REMOTE CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER WHEN NOT IN USE. THIS WILL ENSURE THAT THE BATTERIES REMAIN FULLY CHARGED.

SPEED ADJUSTMENT

A provision for adjusting speed is one of the unique features of the SRE-1550 Stairway Elevator. The Speed Adjustment Potentiometer is located on the top of the Carriage. Adjust according to the following procedure:

1.) Loosen the collet nut on the Speed Control Potentiometer approximately one-half turn.

2.) Turn the Potentiometer completely in the counterclockwise direction. This is the starting point. Turn the Potentiometer in the clockwise direction, aligning the slotted shaft with the weight range of the user.

3.) The speed may be adjusted by turning the slotted shaft on the Potentiometer

(clockwise = faster, counterclockwise = slower). With the customer seated on the unit, perform several test runs to arrive at the most to appropriate speed setting.

4.) When the speed has been set satisfactorily, retighten the collet nut.

5.) Recheck the speed.

ELECTRICAL

CIRCUIT BREAKER

The on/off switch is built into the circuit breaker which is provided to protect the

battery,controller and motor circuits in the Elevator carriage. It is unlikely that this circuit

breaker will ever trip in normal use, but if the Elevator should fail to operate, check the circuit

breaker and reset it if necessary. If the circuit breaker should trip, determine the cause and

correct the situation.

The most likely cause of a tripped circuit breaker would be a foreign object jamming the rail or

gear rack or overloading the elevator by exceeding its rated load capacity.

A fuse has been provided to protect the battery charging circuit and the Call / Send electronics.

The Elevator is shipped with this fuse installed.
