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. Please note the polarity of the batteries.    Do not 
use other types of battery to prevent any accident. 

2.

 

Be sure to replace the batteries with the same brand and specification at the same time.    Do not 
replace only one battery in the battery compartment otherwise the charging (discharging) performance 
may be affected by the battery with lower voltage. 

3.

 

Do not place the battery charger under the raining, high temperature, humid and with corroded air 
environment.    Indoor  with  good  ventilation  is  suggested.    Please  also  do  not  use  the  battery 
charger under 0

.   

4.

 

It  is  prohibited  that  the  high  power  wireless  equipment  such  as  walkie-talkie,  wireless  network 
transmitter, … etc. is closed to the transmitter or receiver as it might cause interference. 

5.

 

Do not change the IDs on transmitter encoder and receiver decoder boards at will. 

6.

 

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. 

7.

 

Check  the transmitter  voltage  whenever  it  is  operated.    Place  the  transmitter  into  battery  charger 
when battery is running out or the voltage is low. 

8.

 

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 by the receiver. 

9.

 

In the event of an emergency press down the EMS button will immediately deactivates the receiver 
MAIN relay and the transmitter power.    Then turned the power “off ” from the main power source to 
the crane or equipment.     

10.

 

Do not use the same RF channel and ID code as any other system in use at the same facility or within 
300-meter distance. 

11.

 

Ensure  the  waist  belt  is  worn  at  all  time  during  operation  to  avoid  accidental  damage  to  the 
transmitter. 

12.

 

Rotate the  power  switch  to  OFF  position  when  the transmitter  is  not operated  temporarily  or  the 
operation is finished. 

13.

 

Any repair or adjustment should be proceeding by repair technician for radio remote controls. 

14.

 

The operator should not change any electrical parts at will.
