Page 5 Be aware of the ramp slope (angle). Do not raise front wheelchair wheels (pull wheelie) when loading (boarding) the platform. The wheelchair must be positioned in the center of the ramp when loading and unloading.
Page 6 Parts List (ER1319): Item Qty . Description Part No. 1 1 Control Box - ER1301WS 100465-002 ER1301WS Installation: Braun ER1301WS electronic controller 100465-002 is exclusive for Weight Sen- sor ramps. Install Weight Sensor RA200 models as outlined in this section.
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).
Page 8 nance and lubricating procedures. See the Maintenance and Adjust- ments section fo r more detailed information. 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.
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).
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 .

View cus- tomer installed sensor LED, or pull on the Hand Hold to ensure no movement occurs. 7. Stow the remaining portion of the platform by using the electrical system.
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.
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.

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).
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.
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 .
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.
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.
