I N TRO D UC T IO N The Alpha 3000 System is a highly reliable industrial radio remote control system. The versatile features of the Alpha 3000 system permit its use in many different remote control applications that required 3-step control. The system can be used to control factory cranes, multiple hoists, trolleys, mining equipment, building construction equipment, automatic control systems, and many others. The Alpha 3000 Radio Remote Control System incorporates numerous redundant safety circuits that guaranty maximum security and ensure the system is resistant to outside interference. The major features of the Alpha 3000 system are as follow: The system uses advanced microprocessors with highly evolved software that has redundant error checking and correcting capabilities to ensure 100% error-free transmission, decoding, and control of all output relays. This highly evolved software includes CRC (cyclical redundancy check codes) and Hamming Codes (error recovery). To insure maximum operating safety, the Alpha 3000 system incorporates numerous safety features. Some of these built-in safety features include transmitter pushbutton self-diagnosing, transmitter low-voltage detection and warning, receiver self-diagnosing, and MAIN deactivation when the system is in sleep mode. The transmitter encoder and receiver decoder both utilize advanced microprocessor control. The availability of 65,536 sets of unique ID codes will ensure that only commands from the matching control transmitter can be carried out without any interference from other radio systems. For added safety, the system also incorporates special Safety MAIN Relay. If the Safety MAIN Relay is defective (fails to open or close during operation), it will signal the system to shut down immediately to avoid the possibility of any accidents occurring. Water-resistant transmitter and receiver enclosures. The Alpha 3000 Radio Remote Control System consists of a water-resistant handheld transmitter and receiver. The transmitter casing is molded using industrial strength composite materials which are impervious to dust, water, oil, acids, alkaline, heat and sunlight as well as being resistant to deformation due to long term use in harsh environments. The industry’s best 3-step pushbuttons are also constructed from industrial strength composite materials with a minimum of up to one million press cycles. For power savings, the transmitter is designed with an ultra high efficiency power saving circuit that requires only four “AA” size alkaline batteries for more than 200 hours of continuos operation between replacements. 2. S AF E TY I NS T RU C TI O N The Alpha 3000 system is relatively simple to use, however, it is very important to observe the proper safety procedures before, during, and after operation. When used prope rly our Alpha 3000 radio remote controls will enhance safety, productivity and efficiency in the workplace. The following procedures should be strictly followed: 1. Check the transmitter casing and pushbuttons daily. Should any damage that could inhibit the proper operation of the transmitter be found the unit should be immediately removed from service. 2. The transmitter voltage should be checked on a daily basis. If the voltage is low (red status light blinking, refer to section 8 on page 14), the four “AA” alkaline batteries should be replaced. 3. The red mushroom type emergency stop button (EMS) should be checked at the beginning of each shift to ensure it is in proper working order and the Stop command is being received. 4. In the event of an emergency, depress the emergency stop button (EMS) immediately to disengage the receiver MAIN and the transmitter power. Then turned the power “off” from the main power source to the crane or equipment. 5. The transmitter power key switch should be pulled “off” after each use and should never leave the transmitter in the power “on” position when the unit is unattended. 6. Do not use the same channel and ID code as any other system in use at the same facility or within 600 feet. 7. Ensure the shoulder strap is worn at a ll time during operation to avoid accidental damage to the transmitter. 8. Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitter units at the same time with the same channel and ID code. FCC ID: LZ6ALPHA3000MODEL This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions; (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference receiv ed, including interference that may cause undesired operations. 3 .
