Page 7 User Inputs/Outputs The weight sensor controller has fi ve required user inputs and fi ve optional user outputs. At least four user inputs are required to be connected in order for the ramp to function, whereas none of the user outputs must be connected (optional). Below is a list of the user inputs and outputs, including the designated co[...]

Cold Climate Recommenda- tions: The vehicle in which the ramp has been installed should be stored in a garage or other sheltered place if possible, espe- cially during inclement weather conditions. When the ramp is not in use, it s[...]

Page 9 in the controller during installa- tion immediately stops move- ment when obstructed. Once an obstruction has halted the ramp, the controller automatically resets and awaits operator input for further operation. Note : The ramp will sense an obstruction and halt with any substantial weight on the platform (built-in safety feature). The ramp [...]

Page 10 Self-Locking Release Pin The RA200 has the capability of being manually operated (me- chanical or electrical methods). If you experience power or equip- ment failure, refer to the step- by-step instructions to manually operate the ramp. Always use ex- treme caution when operating the ramp manually .

Page 12 Exterior Maintenance and Lubrication Note: In order to ensure proper and consis- tent performance of the Braun RA200, routine maintenance in the form of cleaning, lubricating, inspecting, and adjusting is essential. The following items can be accessed after de- ploying the platform, and without the removal of either the top or bottom cover [...]

Page 13 Floor Level/Stow Level Position of Platform: Vital to ramp performance is proper platform position before, after and during deploying and stowing cycles. Proximity sensors (see Photo F) use a magnetic fi eld to switch on and off as the T op Cover Lip Platform metallic pick-up passes in front of the sensor head. Distance from the sensor hea[...]

When decreasing the height, the non-used portion of the threaded studs must be cut off to maintain proper clearance for main axle rotation (see Photo N). Failure to do so may result in the inability of the platform to lower to stow level due to a binding condition of the m[...]

Page 16 The following items can be accessed through the interior of the ramp by removing either the top or bottom cover . Bottom Cover: The snap-on bottom cover can be removed for easy access. The bottom cover is easily removed via two draw latches on each side (see Photo P), along with four bolts across the front (see Photo O). When replacing, mak[...]

Page 17 Full In/Full Out Position of Carriage: The carriage houses two sensors that provide positional feedback of full out (see Photo R) or full in/stowed (see Photo S) for the carriage and platform assembly . The prox- imity sensors switch on and off as the sensor head passes over a metallic pick-up plate mounted on the cassette frame. Distance f[...]

Page 18 Manual Release System: If the release cable is dif fi cult to pull to unlock the system, inspect the guide and slider shown in Photo T . Con fi rm no dirt, metal shavings, or other foreign debris are pres- ent and restricting the slider . Also, check compression spring to verify the open end of the spring is not binding the movement of th[...]

Page 19 Chain T ension: Equal tension on the left and right drive chains is necessary to reduce binding ef- fects on the carriage bearings and allow for smooth movement throughout the in/out cycle. An exces- sively loose chain may enable the drive sprocket to “jump” teeth, thus providing a binding situa- tion. Conversely , an excessively tight [...]

Page 20 Carriage “ Full Out” Alignment: When the carriage is deployed to the “Full Out” posi- tion, the front bar of the carriage should align parallel with the union bar of the housing. This alignment will help ensure that a fully deployed and elevated platform will properly align with the bus threshold. Properly main- taining this carriag[...]
