1 . 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.

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.

6. S YS T EM C O NFI G U RATIO N S 6. 1 J u m p e r S e tt i n g s There are numerous functions that can be set via jumpers located inside the decoder module. Please see the diagram and chart below on how to set these functions. JUMP Manufacture Setting Open After inserting the transmitter power key switch, or after EMS reset, press START/AUX pushbutton to activate the receiver MAIN. Short Insert the transmitter power key switch will immediately activates the receiver MAIN.

6. 3 P u s h b u t to n C o n ta c t S e t ti n g s The START/AUX pushbutton can be set either to normal or latching contact. This function that can be set via an 8-position dip-switch located inside the decoder module (please refer to the diagram below). By adjusting the dip setting either to the top or bottom slot will change the contact form of the pushbutton (please refer to the chart below). Pus hbuttons are numbered from right-to-left and from top-to-bottom.

Required Tools: (1) Flat Head Screwdriver ( -) (2) Phillips Head Screwdriver (+) (3) Multi-Meter (4) Open End Wrench (5) Power Drill with 10.5mm ~ 11mm Drill-Bit 2. Check to ensure that your receiver is not set to the same channel and ID code as any other systems in operation at the same facility within 600 feet. 3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane or equipment itself is working properly. 4.

7. 3 S y s te m Tes ti n g 1. Connect the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output (EMS button) and observe that it properly opens and closes the main line. 2. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels and/or the pendant it is replacing. 3. 4. Test the limit switches on the crane and verify that they are working properly. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant make sure it is 5.

8. TR A NS M I T T ER O P ER ATIO N 1. Batteries _ Make sure the four “AA” alkaline batteries are installed correctly, the labels on the battery holder will tell you which side is “up” and which side is “down”. Use 2000mA alkaline type batteries for optimum operating time between replacements. 2. Start Up _ Insert the power key switch located on the top right hand side of the transmitter unit (refer to diagram below).

9. TRO U B L E SH O O TI NG 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 to receiver. Transmitter and the receiver are not on the same RF channel (SQ 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. Transmitter does not communicate to receiver.
