ELECTRICAL RESIDENTIAL INFRARED CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER The call/send system on the Bruno SRE-1550 is based on infrared (IR) controls. 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.
ELECTRICAL CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER-RESIDENTIAL Mounting the standard infrared call/ send transmitter Mounting with bracket and hardware: 1. M ount the bracket to the back of the transmitter using the (4) screws provided. 2. P osition the bracket/transmitter unit in the mounting location on the wall and mark the top and bottom bracket holes. 3. D rill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the anchors provided. 4.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARD DIAGNOSTICS The circuit board provided on the SRE-1550 is equipped with (4) diagnostic modes that continuously monitor the unit’s operation. This choice of operational modes allows the SRE-1550 to respond to the requirements of a wide variety of installations. NOTE : T he SRE-1550 is shipped in the MULTI-USER/DIAGNOSTIC MODE.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT BOARD DIAGNOSTICS AUDIO REFERENCE NOTICE: Before touching anything inside the carriage assembly, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the unit such as an exposed bolt, or one of the mounting screws on the electrical panel. While you work, periodically touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate any static electricity that could harm internal components.

ELECTRICAL LEARNING THE REMOTE INFRARED TRANSMITTER (not necessary when installing unit for the first time) The operating channel of the two (2) infrared transmitters included with the SRE-2750 is pre-set at the Bruno factory. Reasons for relearning transmitters: • there are multiple units in the same location; • you have to replace transmitters. To relearn a transmitter: 1. Turn the circuit breaker OFF. 2. R emove the CARRIAGE COVER to expose the circuit board. LEARN/ERASE button 3.
ELECTRICAL LEARNING THE REMOTE INFRARED TRANSMITTER (not necessary when installing unit for the first time) 8. Clear the memory: • Hold down the LEARN/ERASE button until the LED goes out (approximately 12 seconds). 9. Press and hold the LEARN/ERASE button (LED is on). As you continue to press the LEARN/ ERASE button, press either of the call/send transmitter buttons until the LEARN/ERASE LED goes out (approximately 2-5 sec.). 10. Release both buttons (LEARN/ERASE and transmitter).
LUBRICATION PRIOR TO LUBRICATION run the carriage up and down the rail 56 times. This will clean the paint chips out of the gear rack. Vacuum or brush the gear rack and rail to remove any paint chips loosened during this operation. Once the gear rack and rail are clean and free of paint debris, proceed with lubrication. These instructions apply to carriages with nylon wheels. If you are lubricating a carriage with steel wheels, apply the grease to the rail and the gear rack teeth.
TESTING ELEVATOR OPERATION TESTING ELEVATOR OPERATION 1. With the seat in the central riding position, power the elevator completely down and up the rail using the rocker switch on the seat arm. A slight delay will occur between the time the rocker switch is depressed and the start of carriage movement. This is normal and is a function of the soft start feature of the controller. The elevator should travel noticeably faster going up than down.
CONVERSION TO RIGHT-HAND INSTALLATION The circuit breaker must be turned OFF while changing from left-hand to right-hand installation. Otherwise, the board will not accept the change. As shipped from the factory, the ElectraRideTM II is set up for left-side installation (as viewed from the bottom of the stairs). To convert the elevator for right-side installation: 1. M ake sure the circuit breaker switch on the rear of the carriage is in the OFF position. 2.
OVERSPEED (COMMERCIAL) 6. Unplug the switch harness, and remove the grommet. 7. Slide the grommet onto the other side of the swivel switch cover, and reconnect the harness. 8. Reassemble the cover using the 2 screws. 9. Remove the seat hinge nut, and install the harness guide on the opposite side. 10. Fasten the switch housing on the left arm. Slide the trim over the harness on the backside of the arm.
ADJUSTMENTS SPEED ADJUSTMENT speed adjustment potentiometer The Speed Adjustment Potentiometer is located on the top of the carriage. To adjust: 1. L oosen the collet nut on the speed control potentiometer approximately one-half turn. 2. T urn the potentiometer completely in the counterclockwise direction. This is the starting point. 3. T urn the Potentiometer in the clockwise direction, aligning the slotted shaft with the weight range of the user. 4.
MAINTENANCE YEARLY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS •C lean rails, racks and wheels. Regrease. • Check for dry and/or worn belts. Lubricate. • Check rail wear. There should be no groove. •C lean charging contacts (both carriage and rail ends) withScotch Brite®. • Check battery voltage (load test). •C heck safety switches (footrest, carriage, seat). •C heck armrest switch and keyswitch (if applicable).
TROUBLESHOOTING • Check circuit breaker. Reset if necessary. UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE UNIT OPERATES SLOWLY, LACKS POWER • Check battery connections. • Check to see if footrest safety switches have been depressed. Safety tray below footrest should slide freely not stick in a position which could depress the safety switches. • Check battery charge. Battery voltage should be in a range of 16-28 VDC. • Check setting of speed control potentiometer. • Check for loose connections.
TROUBLESHOOTING UNIT OPERATES ERRATICALLY OR INTERMITTENTLY WITH A RIDER USING THE ARMREST-MOUNTED CONTROL SWITCH • Check swivel seat safety switch. • Check that the footrest safety tray is not dragging on the stair nosing or hitting debris on the stairs. If necessary, reposition the stair rail mounting brackets to correct the problem. • Check the rail for debris that may contact safety switches (footrest and carriage panels).
