1. Introduction
The simple, friendly αSeries has been designed for use around your home, office, factory.... anywhere that
requires a flexible supervisory control function. Every module allows you to read signals and set outputs
according to particular conditions or time settings defined by you, the user. Plus the built-in programmable
display allows you to check the status of your system anytime.
Special features of the αSeries system are:
• Direct (on-device) programming capability
• High current output capability
•Smallsize
• Easy access programming port
• EEPROM cassette program storage capability
• Built-in Real Time Clock as standard
• Windows based programming package, AL-PCS/WIN-E
• Plus a full range of support documentation and Training packages
The αSeries is designed to be used in the following automatic applications: lighting, air conditioning,
irrigation, doors, gates, simple security systems, greenhouses, air fans, etc. The Real Time Clock can be
used as a power saving device to automatically turn the equipment On/Off at scheduled times.
Debug programs carefully before installing in automated equipment. The αSeries is not designed to be used
in life critical or fail safe applications.
Contact your dealer for more information.
