The Alpha 3000 series are highly durable, reliable, and safe industrial radio remote control system.
The versatile features of the Alpha 3000 series permit their usage in many different radio remote
control applications that required 2-step or 3-step pushbutton controls. The system can be used to
control tower cranes, factory cranes, monorail systems, multiple hoists, trolleys, mining equipment,
building construction equipment, automatic control systems, and many others.
The Alpha 3000 radio remote control systems incorporate numerous redundant safety circuits that
guaranty maximum security and ensure the system is resistant to outside interference. The major
features of the Alpha 3000 series are as follow:
* The system uses advanced 16+1bit microprocessor control 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) programming.
* To insure maximum operating safety, the Alpha 3000 system incorporates numerous important
safety features. Some of these built-in safety features include transmitter pushbutton
self-diagnosing during initial startup, transmitter low-voltage detection and warning, receiver
self-diagnosing, and MAIN deactivation when transmitter is in sleep mode, when strong RF
interference is detected, and when the transmitter is out of receiving range.
* The transmitter encoder and receiver decoder both utilize advanced microprocessor control. The
availability of 65,536 sets of unique ID codes + 63 distinct RF channels 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 type of safety MAIN relay. If the safety
MAIN relay becomes defective (fails to open or close during operation), it will signal the central
system to shut down immediately to avoid the possibility of any accidents occurring.
* 63 sets of user-adjustable receiving RF channels via simple dip-switch settings.
* 100% waterproofed transmitter and receiver enclosures (IP65 rated), including the battery
compartment.
Each Alpha 3000 series radio remote control system consists of a water-resistant IP65 handheld
transmitter and receiver. The transmitter casing is molded using industrial strength composite
materials (Nylon + Fiberglass) which are impervious to dust, water, oil, acids, alkaline, heat, sunlight
and as well as being resistant to deformation due to long term use in harsh environments. The
industry’s best 2-step & 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 battery replacements.

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 properly our Alpha 3000 series
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 page 28), the four “AA” alkaline batteries should be replaced.
3. 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.
4. In the event of an emergency, push down the emergency stop button (EMS) immediately to
deactivate the transmitter power and the receiver MAIN relay. Then turned the power “off” from
the main power source to the crane or equipment.
5. The transmitter power key 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 RF channel and ID code as any other system in use at the same facility or
within distance of 30 meters.
7. Ensure the shoulder strap is worn at all 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 RF
channel and ID code.
Caution!
Improper Storage of your Spare Transmitter is a Safety Hazard! During the initial installation
of your remote control system the spare (second) transmitter should be tested to confirm that it
is functioning properly and then the batteries must be removed and the transmitter stored in a
secured place. Failure to follow this safety procedure can result in the inadvertent operation of
your crane or hoist by unauthorized personnel resulting in serious injury or death!

Transmitter ID code can be readjusted via an 8-position soldering slot (the first 8 digits of the ID code)
and an 8-position dip-switch (the last 8 digits of the ID code). Please refer to page 5 and page 7 for the
location of the soldering slot and dip-switch on the encoder board. As for the receiver ID code setting,
the soldering slot and the dip-switch are located inside the decoder module; please refer to page 9 & 10
and below illustration.
(Decoder module internal view)
Please note the first 8-digit of the ID code can be changed or altered simply by soldering the two
contact points together (“1” value); the position is at “0” value when unsoldered (two points open).
The last 8-digit ID code is set via an 8-position dip-switch located next to the 8-position soldering slot.
Due to Alpha 3000 series’ ID code (or address code) is 16-digit long, the first 8 digits are set via the
soldering slot and the remaining last 8 digits are set via the dip-switch (total of 16 digits). For the
soldering slot, the “SH8” represents the 1st digit of the ID code and “SH15” represents the 8th digit of
the ID code. As for the dip-switch, the “1” represents 9th digit of the ID code and the “8” represents the
16th digit of the ID code (last digit). Next page are some sample illustrations for better understanding
on how to set the entire 16-digit ID code via the soldering slot and the dip-switch.

All Alpha 3000 systems are also equipped with a PLL synthesized receiving RF module with
up to 63 user-adjustable RF channels. The RF channel dip-switch is located on the topside of
the receiving RF module, covered by a sliding door.
Example: For the below illustrated dip-switch “000101” setting, counting from
dip-position #1 to #6, the RF channel would be “205”, which also represents
frequency “301.205 MHz”. Please refer to the Frequency (RF) Channel Table or the
CHANNEL → DIP label inside the receiver door panel.
Button 2 (Channel Setup): PLLmodule power on and press button 2 to write in the channel.
LED flashes 3 times meaning the new frequency write-in is completed.
Top Slot → “1”
Bottom Slot → “0”
Procedure: 1. Open the sliding door.
2. Set the dip-switch base on the Frequency (RF) Channel Table
3. Power on the module & press button 2.
4. LED flashes 3 times to verify the frequency
5. Close sliding door and screw up.
