1. INTRODUCTION
The Alpha 6000 is a highly sophisticated industrial radio remote control system. The versatile
features of Alpha 6000 permits its usage in a wide range of industrial applications. The system can
be used to control all types of industrial cranes, tower cranes, building construction equipment,
automatic control systems, mining equipment, and many others.
The Alpha 6000 incorporates numerous advanced safety features and software programming that will
ensure maximum security and safety in the workplace. The major features of Alpha 6000 industrial
radio remote control system are as follow:
* The system is equipped 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) and
Hamming Codes (Error Recovery) programming. The responding time from system error to
receiver auto-shutdown is maximum 1 second.
* The encoding system utilizes advanced microprocessor control for 100% error-free data
transmission. The availability of 65,536 sets of unique security ID codes + 68 distinct RF
channels will ensure that only commands from a matching control transmitter can be carried out
without any interference from other radio systems.
* The decoding system utilizes dual-microprocessor control, which will ensure 100% error-free
calculating, bit checking and correcting of all incoming data.
* The system also utilizes an additional central microprocessor for data comparison and
crosschecking between the two decoding microprocessors. When faults are detected via this
central microprocessor, for maximum safety, the entire system will be shutdown immediately to
avoid possibility of any accidents occurring.
* The system utilizes PLL synthesized RF transmission. It allows the user to select from 68 sets
of frequency channels best suited for the environment. The frequency channel for transmitter
and receiver is selected via programming software. The receiver also has the ability to
auto-scan from these 68 sets of frequency channels. The receiver will search and locked on to
the intended matching control transmitter.
* For added safety the receiver also utilizes dual Safety Relays for the receiver MAIN relay
circuit. If the receiver MAIN relay is defective (example: fails to open or close during operation
or not respond to a “Stop” command) a fault will be detected and the system will be shut down
immediately to avoid possibility of any accidents occurring.
* The Alpha 6000 is equipped with numerous self-diagnosing functions, which include
transmitter low-voltage detection/warning, faulty pushbutton/joystick detection, faulty safety
MAIN relays detection, faulty relay boards detection, faulty EEPROM detection, faulty RX
module detection, incorrect ID code detection, and receiver MAIN auto-deactivation when
transmitter low-voltage is detected, when encountering strong radio interference, and when the
transmitter/operator is out of receiving range.
* The transmitter is equipped with power auto shutdown function: After 5 minutes of inactivity,
that is 5 minutes after the last pushbutton is released, the transmitter power will shut off

4
automatically. (0-120 minutes or no auto shutdown is selectable)
* The transmitter casing is composed of special engineering plastic and pushbutton waterproof
layer. The engineering plastic is featured with wearable, oil-proof, acid-proof, alkaline-proof,
high temperature resistance, anti-UV, water-proof and dust-proof. With the self-developed no
contact cross type and single axis joystick, there is no disadvantage of friction and
non-durability as the operation of direct contact. The operation life and reliability is for a
minimum of 1 million operating cycles.
* The receiver enclosure is composed of 100% aluminum alloy. It may eliminate the static
completely and avoid interference from radio radiation.
* Relay and proportional joystick output via RS485 interface (optional). It is also applicable
on internet type control.
* Receiver internal circuit is completely modularized. Including: receiving RF module,
decoding module, relay module, proportional output module, LCD display module and power
module. It is easy for the users to replace and extend.
* LCD display module shows the current receiver status, including individual relay output,
proportional output, receiving signal strength, error messages...etc.
* Maximum number of joysticks and pushbuttons on each transmitter:
1. 2 double axes joysticks plus 16 single speed pushbuttons
2. 8 single axis joysticks plus 12 single speed pushbuttons
3. If there is no joystick on the transmitter, maximum 32 single speed pushbuttons can
be installed on each transmitter.
* Relay and proportional output:
1. Maximum 32 relays. 8pcs relays on each relay interface card, maximum 4 relay
interface cards.
2. Proportional output interface cards available:
Standard: By voltage/current: 0~+5V, 0~+10V, 0~±5V, 0~±10V, 4~20mA, 0~20mA & 0~24mA
Customized: Customized proportional output interface card (optional).
* All Alpha 6000 function setting and selection can be done via Alpha 6000 software.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The Alpha 6000 system is relatively simple to use. However, it is very important to observe the
proper safety procedures before, during, and after operation. When using properly the Alpha 6000
systems will enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
The following instructions should be strictly followed:
1. Make a daily check of the transmitter casing, joysticks and pushbuttons. Should it appear that
anything could inhibit the proper operation of the transmitter unit, it should be immediately
removed from service.
2. The transmitter voltage should be checked on a daily basis. If the voltage is low, the battery
pack should be recharged or replaced (refer to page 45 for battery power status LED display).
3. The emergency stop button (EMS) should be checked at the beginning of each shift to ensure
they are in the proper working order.
4. In the event of an emergency, activate the emergency stop button immediately by pressing the
red EMS button down. This will immediately disconnect the transmitter power and receiver
MAIN relays. Then turn the power “off” from the main power source of the equipment.
5. The transmitter power key, which is located on the right side of the transmitter box, should be
turned “off” after each use and should never leave the power key in “on” position when the unit
is unattended.
6. Do not use the same frequency channel and ID code as any other unit in use at the same facility
or within distance of 300 meters to avoid interference.
7. Ensure the waist belt and the shoulder strap is worn at all time during operation to avoid
accidental damages to the transmitter box.
8. Never operate a crane or equipment with two (2) transmitter units at the same time with same
frequency channel and ID code.

Neutral check
* Digital /
Proportional is
compelled to
have neutral
check
* Selectable at VR
When transmitter is ON, the joystick / VR has to be checked if it is
at 0°position, then transmitter can be started. If not, the error
status light will display as “pushbutton jammed / joystick is not at
neutral position” (Please refer to encoder status table.) and the
transmitter will not be started.
Plus/Minus
(+/-)voltage
exchange
* Only for
proportional
joystick or
neutral type
* Select 0~±5V or
0~±10V
Plus / Minus output reverse
Example:
Original => -5V(Lower axis)~ 0V(Neutral) ~(Upper axis)+5V
Select this function => +5V(Lower axis)~0V(Neutral)~(Upper
axis) -5V
Axis relay
* Not selectable:
single-side type
* There are 2pcs of relay for Axis relay. One is Upper/Left axis,
the other is Lower/Right axis.

VR and digital
joystick
(digital joystick
is available with
axis relay)
* Joystick is at neutral position or when neutral type VR is at 0°
position, 2-axis relays are OFF.
* Joystick Upper/Left axis or neutral VR operates clockwise:
Upper/Left axis relay is ON, Lower/Right axis relay is OFF.
* Joystick Lower/Right axis or neutral VR operates counter-
clockwise:
Upper/Left axis relay is OFF, Lower/Right axis relay is ON.
* The proportional output voltage/current can be wired to
Upper/Lower axis relay at the same time. When the joystick is
moving, the proportional output voltage/current will output via
the corresponding axis.
Accelerating
output slowly
* Both joystick
and VR are
selectable
* Every joystick or
VR can be
selected
respectively or
not to select
* Example: Proportional joystick at 0~5V output, slowly output
time 3 seconds.
Operate joystick fromneutral to top position swiftly and stop,
the output increases linearly from 0V, then gradually to 5V at the
3rd second and stops at 5V.
Accelerating
output slowly
time 1.5sec ~ 5sec
* Joystick
activates and
accelerates
slowly
*All joysticks and
VR with
activated
accelerating
output slowly
share this setting
time
* Time needed from the lowest output to the highest output.
Accelerating
output slowly:
immediately/slowly
* Joystick with
activated
accelerating
output slowly is
needed
* Joystick/VR spring return:
Decelerating immediately--
Output corresponds to the current joystick/VR angle
immediately.
Decelerating slowly--
Base on the time selected for accelerating output slowly,
output decreases proportionally from previous setting to
current joystick/VR angle.
Joystick neutral

selectable
* Joystick in the neutral position, neutral relay ON; Joystick is not
in the center position, neutral relay OFF.
* Neutral type VR: Within center position of rotating range,
neutral relay ON; Out of center position of rotating range,
neutral relay OFF.
* Single type VR: VR in the left START position, neutral relay
