1. SAFETY INSTRUCTION The Alpha 600 series are 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 600 series will enhance safety, productivity and efficiency in the workplace. The following procedures should be strictly followed: 1. The transmitter is equipped with a specialized battery charger. Only two ”AA” Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are allowed to be used in the transmitter.

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. 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.

10. 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.
