1. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The Alpha 608 is relatively simple to use, however, it is very important to observe the proper safety
procedures before, during, and after operation. When used properly, the Alpha 608 will enhance
safety, productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
The following procedures should be strictly followed:
1.
2.
Do not change the IDs on transmitter encoder and receiver decoder boards at will.
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.
3.
4.
Check the transmitter voltage whenever it is operated.
The red 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 by the receiver.
5.
In the event of an emergency press down the EMS button will immediately deactivates the
receiver MAIN relay and the transmitter power. Then turned the power “off ” from the main
power source to the crane or equipment.
6.
Do not use the same RF channel and ID code as any other system in use at the same facility or
within 300-meter distance.
7.
Ensure the waist belt is worn at all time during operation to avoid accidental damage to the
transmitter.
8.
Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitters at the same time with the same RF
channel and ID code, as it will cause radio interference.
FCC 15.21: “Changes or modifications are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”
“Operations is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.”

8. TRANSMITTER OPERATION & STATUS
LIGHT
8.1 Transmitter Operating Steps
1. Make sure the two “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries are installed correctly. Please note the polarity
of the batteries.
2. Status lights_To operate the transmitter, please rotate the power key on the top-left corner clockwise
to “on” position. The status LED (green and red) will be steady “on” for 2 seconds and then “off”. If
the transmitter Status LED displays a red blinking light that is “on” Æ 0.1 second and “off” Æ 1.9
seconds, or no light at all, this indicates the transmitter with batteries needs to be recharged. For
battery charging or replacement, please refer to instruction next page.
When any function pushbutton is depressed, the transmitter Status LED displays a red blinking light
that is “on”Æ 0.1 second and “off”Æ 1.9 seconds. If the voltage is low, the transmitter Status LED
will be “on”Æ0.1 second and “off”Æ1.9 seconds, this indicates the transmitter with batteries needs to
be recharged. Continuous operation will cause the transmitter battery power exhausting and cannot
operate at all.
3. EMS & Restarting _ In case of an emergency, press down the red emergency stop button (EMS)
will immediately deactivates the transmitter and receiver MAIN relay. The transmitter Status LED
will be blinking “on”Æ0.5 second and “off”Æ0.5 second for 30 seconds (Mode 0). Then turn off
the transmitter power.
4. The emergency stop button is a right-rotate momentary spring-return type. To turn on the transmitter
and activate the MAIN relay, please elevate the emergency stop button again and rotate the
transmitter power key to “ON” position.
5. Note that the transmitter cannot be hit by outer forces, so that malfunction can be prevented.
6. The operating temperature is -10 ~ +50℃. Avoid operating the transmitter in high temperature
workshop. If operating temperature is higher than 50℃,the auto shutdown protection installed inside
CPU will shut down the transmitter and deactivate the MAIN relay.
7. To operation normally, the battery power has to be over 2.2V. If the voltage is lower than 2.2V, the
system cannot be started and low voltage will be showed until the MAIN is completely shutdown.
8. If the power voltage is lowered than 2.2V when transmitter is operated, the LV code will be “1” and
low voltage status light will be shown. The transmitter will stop sending signals when voltage is
lower than 2.0V.

9. RECEIVER INSTALLATION
9.1 Preparation for Installation
1. Required Tools for Receiver Installation:
(1) Flat Head Screwdriver (-)
(2) Phillips Head Screwdriver (+)
(3) Multi-Meter
(4) 14mm Wrench x 2
(5) Power Drill withφ10.5mm Drill-Bit
2. Check to ensure that your receiver is not set to the same RF channel and ID code as any other systems in
operation at the same facility or within 300-meter distance.
3.
Prior to installation, make sure that the crane or equipment itself is working properly.
4. Use a multi-meter to check the voltage source available and ensure the receiver voltage setting matches
your power source.
5. Prior to installation, switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment.
9.2 Step By Step Installation
1. For better reception, the location selected should have the antenna visible from all areas where the
transmitter is to be used.
2. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electrical noise.
Mounting the receiver
next to an unshielded variable frequency control (inverter) may cause minor interference.
Always locate
the receiver unit as far away from inverter controls as possible.
3. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver enclosure.
4. Make sure the receiver unit is in upright position (vertical).
5. The distance between the antenna and the control panel should be as far apart as possible (refer to the fig.
on page 22).
6. If a crane or equipment’s runway is longer than 100 meters, an external antenna should be added.
The
Alpha 608 receiver housing has provisions for an external factory installed antenna available as an option,
contact your dealer for price and delivery.
7. Drill a hole on the control panel (10.5mm).
8. Tightened the bolt nuts provided.
9. If the control panel has a plastic surface, extended grounding wire should be used.
10. For system wiring, please refer to the output contact diagrams from page 4.
11. Ensure all wiring is correct and safely secured and all screws are fastened.

11. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should the operator find the equipment not operating normally, please check the chart below for simple
trouble shooting tips.
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE REASON
SOLUTION
Transmitter does
not communicate
with the receiver.
Transmitter and the receiver are
not on the same RF channel
(SQ lamp not lit) or ID code.
Ensure the correct transmitter is
in use. The labels on the receiver
and the transmitter will identify the
RF channel and ID code in use.
Low or no transmitting power
from the transmitter unit.
Turn “on” the transmitter with
EMS elevated. If the status LED
shows blinking red light or no
light at all, then turn the power
“off” and replace the two alkaline
“AA” batteries.
Blown fuse or no input power
connection.
Ensure power input to the receiver
unit is correct. If the power
indicator (AC) is still not lit, please
check the receiver for any open fuse.
Transmitter does
not communicate
with the receiver.
No power to the
receiver (AC power
indicator on the
receiver unit not lit).
Outputs do not
operate correctly.
Transmitter does
not communicate
with the receiver.
Please refer to section 6 and 7
Receiver configuration is not set
to ensure receiver is correctly wired
properly or output wiring is incorrect.
and configured for your application.
Transmitter is turned on with the
EMS activated (pressed down).

Elevate the EMS first and then
turn the power switch off and
then on again.
