Installation of the ELECTRA-RIDETM ELITE Stairway Elevator at a glance:
Determine whether the installation is a right-side or a left-side
installation, as viewed from the bottom of the stairs. For a
left-side installation, the rail will be installed on the left side of the stairs.
Unless otherwise specified, the Electra-Ride
TM
Elite is factory set
for left-side installation. It is easily converted to right-side installation,
however. Instructions for the conversion appear later in this manual.
Determine the correct length for the rail. Use Steps 2 and 4 from the APPLICATION
GUIDE sent with the rail.
Cut the BOTTOM end of the rail using a chop saw or other power metal-cutting saw.
Drill (2) holes for mounting bumper assembly (see photo in Installation section).
Mount the lower bumper assembly and lower end plate.
Loosely assemble the clamp halves.
Place the clamp assemblies on the stairs in the locations specified in the installation
instructions.
NOTE: There is no clamp on the top step/landing. Consult the charts shown
in the Application Guide for proper dimensions of the B top rail extension.
Place the lower rail section in the clamps and tighten clamps enough to hold the
section immobile. Do not fully tighten at this time.
Place the upper rail section in the clamps. Make sure the upper and lower sections
mount flush.
Tighten the clamps enough to hold the section immobile. Do not fully tighten at this
time.
Check the rail-to-step nose clearance: MUST BE AT LEAST 1-1/4 IN.
Verify that the upper and lower rail sections are straight and level.
Rail sections MUST
be vertical, or must
lean slightly toward
the back.
Rail must NEVER
LEAN FORWARD.
Feed the charge harness into the channel on the back of the rail
section.
Mount the carriage assembly.
Adjust the carriage angle by loosening the (2) adjustment bolts.
Secure the footrest to the carriage.
Install the seat assembly between the footrest mounting plate and
the seat lever.
Install the upper bumper assembly.
Route wire to household outlet.
Test unit for proper and safe operation.
Train customer in safe operation of the Stairway Elevator.
REMEMBER:
No installation is comlete until the customer has been instructed in the safe use of the
Electra-RideTM Elite Stairway Elevator. After demonstrating correct operation, have the
customer operate the elevator several times while you are available to answer questions. BE SURE THE CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS ALL SAFETY ASPECTS OFUSING THE ELEVATOR. Patience and thoroughness in this phase of the installation
are often rewarded with repeat business and customer referrals.
1.Determine whether the stairway elevator will be installed on the right or left side of
the stairs, as viewed from the bottom of the stairs.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, Bruno Stairway Elevators are shipped from the
If you wish to convert to right-side
installation, please refer to the instructions appearing later in this manual.
2.Determine the exact rail length by placing a tape measure in a straight line on
the stairs (see STEP 2 in the APPLICATION GUIDE). To this number, add
Measurement B (see STEP 4 in the APPLICATION GUIDE).
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with an overspeed brake, add 5 to the rail length.
This calculation will allow you to precisely fit the Stairway Elevator to your customer
by determining the most comfortable seat-to-floor height within the space available
at the top of the stairs.
3.Mark the length on the rail, as determined in the previous step.
NOTE: Be sure that excess length is cut off of the LOWER end of the rail.
4.After marking, and BEFORE cutting the rail, cut the cable channel back approx.
3 inches from the mark to avoid having to cut through the channel.
Cutting the rail and installing the lower bumper (cont.)
1.BE SURE TO WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND EYEWEAR. During the
cutting process, sparks will fly and the metal rail will become very hot.
2.Place flat side of the rail on the saw bed. Carefully align the saw to the line marking
the desired finished length of the rail.

3.For a precise and efficient cut, Bruno recommends the use of a chop saw*. A
down-up motion during the cutting process helps avoid overheating the saw
motor.
4.Once the rail is cut, deburr the cut end using a file or other appropriate tool. Soften any sharp
edges which might abrade the insulation of the wiring routed to the bumper at the rail end.
5.Place the metal template (provided - see Box B of Carton 2) on rail as shown. Hold in place.

The call/send system on the Bruno SRE-2000 is based on infrared (IR) controls,
the same type of control used for televisions and stereos.
Like a television remote, the SRE-2000 hand-held transmitter may experience
certain types of interference. Receivers are mounted on both sides of the SRE-2000
carriage to minimize interference.
Should interference occur, the unit will stop. This feature has been integrated
into the SRE-2000 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-2000 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.
Insert the longest screw provided in the mounting
hardware kit (see illustration above left) through the
top hole in the bracket and through the corresponding
hole in the back of the transmitter. Tighten, without
overtightening to avoid damaging the transmitter back.
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.

Wait until you hear a BEEP.
Press and hold the LEARN switch on the CARRIAGE circuit
board.
The red LED on the carriage circuit board will glow.
AS YOU HOLD DOWN the LEARN switch, press one of
the TRANSMITTER pushbuttons.
When the red LED on the carriage circuit board goes out,
release the LEARN switch and the transmitter pushbutton.
Depress the DOWN transmitter button (if the carriage
is at the top of the rail), or the UP transmitter button (if
the carriage is at the bottom of the rail).
If the carriage moves, the new configuration has been
accepted and the transmitter relearned.
9) Make sure both transmitters are set to the same switch
configuration.
10) Reassemble and secure the transmitter back (remount on
wall if applicable).
11) Reassemble and secure the carriage cover.
Transmitter Battery
The 9V battery is inserted upside down in the IR
transmitter when shipped from the Bruno factory.
Prior to operating the SRE-2000, the installer must
remove the battery and reinsert it so that the (+) and
(-) poles are properly connected.
To access the transmitter battery, open the door on
the back of the transmitter as shown to the left.
WHEN THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE
Verify proper operation of the power supply, call/send transmitters, on/off switch,
footrest, safety switches, and carriage limit switches.
Inform the customer of the location of the Owner's Manual. Encourage
him/her to become familiar with its contents.
Train the customer to use the stairway elevator correctly and safely. Be sure to
have him/her operate the unit while you are there to answer any questions and
address any concerns.
The circuit board provided on the SRE-2000 is equipped with (4) diagnostic modes that
continuously monitor the units operation. This choice of operational modes allows the
SRE-2000 to respond to the requirements of a wide variety of installations.
NOTE : The SRE-2000 is shipped in the MULTI-USER/DIAGNOSTIC MODE.
MULTI-USER/DIAGNOSTIC MODE
Provides full range of Audio diagnostic notices:

Also located on the 4-ganged DIP Switch are Switch No. 3 (LH/RH installation) and Switch No.
4 (coast delay). Refer to the Conversion to Right-Hand Installation instructions for changing
Switch No. 3. The coast delay option (Switch No. 4) has been provided in cases of interference
which may cause intermittent operation. The normal setting is 600 mSec. of coast. Should the
unit lose the remote call/send signal, this can be increased to 900 mSec. by moving Switch No.
4 to the `ON' position.
The on/off switch is built into the circuit breaker which is provided to protect the battery, controller
and motor circuits in the Stairway Elevator carriage. It is unlikely that this circuit breaker will ever
trip in normal use. However, should the Elevator fail to operate, check the circuit breaker as a
first troubleshooting step, and reset it if necessary.
It is also recommended that you determine the reason that the breaker tripped, and correct the
situation. Two most frequent causes of a tripped circuit breaker: (1) foreign object jamming the
rail or gear rack and (2) exceeding the rated load capacity leading to circuit overload of the
Elevator.

BATTERY CHARGER SEQUENCE IS AS FOLLOWS:
RED LED `ON' = AC Power on (power cord plugged in)
YELLOW CONTINUOUS LED = Batteries charging
FLASHING YELLOW LED = Batteries are 80% charged
GREEN CONTINUOUS LED = Batteries in charge completing
mode (or float/standby condition)
FLASHING GREEN LED = Possible battery fault detected after
battery has failed to reached the end of the first stage of charging (continuous yellow LED) after approx. 18 hours.
Consult an authorized Bruno dealer.
BATTERY CHARGER FUSE REPLACEMENT:
If the charger is subject to a power line surge, the AC input fuse
may blow. This fuse is located beneath the power cord from the
wall outlet to prevent shock hazard.
To replace the charger fuse:
1) Remove power cord from wall outlet and charger socket.
2) Pull out on the fuse access panel.
3) Remove fuse.
4) Replace with the same size and type: (BUSS # GMC 4) 5 x
20mm-4AMP/125V-TIME LAG
Position the charger in a suitable permanent location, near the end of the rail. Make
sure that its placement will not create a tripping hazard. Connect the power cord to the
nearest wall or floor outlet.
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 EITHER END OF THE RAIL. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE
CARRIAGE BE "PARKED" AT THE END OF THE RAIL WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE TO MAINTAIN FULL BATTERY CHARGE.
If the charger cannot be parked at one end of the rail (for example, on stairways with a door at
the top), use the remote call/send transmitter to send the carriage to the other end. In this way,
the carriage will properly engage the charging contacts, ensuring that the batteries will remain
fully charged.
As shipped from the factory, the Electra-RideTM Elite is set up for left-side installation (as
viewed from the bottom of the stairs).
To convert the unit for right-side installation, perform the following operations:
ELECTRICAL
1.Make sure the circuit breaker switch on the rear of the carriage is in the OFF position.
2.Remove the back carriage cover and the left side cover.
3.Set the No. 3 DIP Switch on the 4-ganged dip switch to the ON position.
NOTE: It is imperative that the circuit breaker be turned OFF while changing from

A provision for adjusting speed is one of the unique features of the SRE-2000 Electra-Ride
SPEED CONTROL LOCATION AND ADJUSTMENT
TM
Elite. The speed adjustment potentiometer is located outside the carriage. Adjustment instructions follow:
Loosen the collet nut on the speed control potentiometer
approximately one-half turn.
The speed may be adjusted by turning the slotted shaft on the potentiometer
(clockwise = faster, counterclockwise = slower). With the customer on the unit
make several test runs to arrive at the most to appropriate speed setting.
When the speed has been properly set, retighten the collet nut.
If the batteries become discharged, the carriage will move more slowly until the
voltage drops to a point where the controller will shut off. In this event, pause for a
moment, then run the carriage "down" until it engages the charge contacts.
(Partially charged batteries will run the carriage "down", but not "up".) Confirm that
the charger is plugged into a "live" outlet and wait for the batteries to recharge.
Your Stairway Elevator s designed to give you many years of reliable service with
minimal maintenance. To ensure the best service life, observe the following:
1. Keep the stair rail channel clean and free of debris.
2. Park the carriage at one end of the stair rail so that the batteries
charge when not in use.
3. Keep the battery charger plugged into a "live" outlet.
4. Have a qualified service technician clean, check, and
grease the unit at least once a year. Refer to the Installation Manual
for gear rack lubrication instructions.
VACATION/LONG-TERM STORAGE
If the Elevator will not be in use for an extended period of time the circuit breaker should be
turned off. After the Elevator is turned off, the charger should be unplugged from the wall
outlet.
DO NOT unplug the charger from the wall outlet without turning off the circuit breaker. This
will result in battery discharge or premature battery failure.
TURNING THE UNIT BACK ON
[ ]To turn the unit back on, turn the circuit breaker on and plug the charger back
into the wall outlet.
NOTE: The batteries may need to be recharged before normal use if the
Elevator remained in the OFF position for an extended period of time. To do so,
simply reconnect the charger to the wall outlet and make sure the circuit breaker is
in the ON position
Load test using remote controls: check voltage
while carriage is traveling up.
Test with carriage against contacts.
Test with carriage away from contacts.
Check contacts and lights.
Check speed.
Check seat belt for wear and proper operation.
Examine exposed wiring. Are there any cuts or abrasions?
Verify operation of seat swivel mechanism. Does it move easily and
lock in place correctly?
Check that all hardware is properly tightened.
If the overspeed switch trips, you must reset two levers: (1) the overspeed lever, and (2) the
cam lever.
NOTE: See the photos below for set and tripped lever positions
To reset the levers, first rotate overspeed switch lever. While rotating this lever, push in
on the wires to engage the overspeed switch. (If the lever is rotated too far, the switch will not be
reset.)
Rotate the cam lever just until you feel the switch engage.
LEVERS TO RESET IF OVERSPEED SWITCH TRIPS TOP VIEW
Check battery connections.
Check footrest safety switches to see if one of these limit
switches is depressed. Sliding safety tray below footrest should
slide freely and should not stick in a position which would
depress one of the safety switches.
Check for discharged batteries. Battery
voltage should fall within the range of 16-28 VDC.
Check for discharged batteries.
Check setting of speed control potentiometer.
