Page 26 INSTALLATION 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.
Page 27: Call/Send Transmitter/Ir/Residential
CALL/SEND TRANSMITTER-RESIDENTIAL The 9V battery is inserted upside down in the IR transmitter when shipped from the Bruno factory. Prior to operating the SRE-1550, the installer must remove the battery and reinsert it so that the (+) and (-) poles are properly connected.
Page 28 (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: 1) Turn off the circuit breaker.
Page 29 11) Reassemble and secure the carriage cover. NOTE: While using the remote call/send, you may experience some intermittent operation. This will not harm the unit.
