The Alpha 500 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 500 series 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 or completely off), the two “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 by the receiver.
4.
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.
5.
The transmitter power switch should be turned off after each use and should never be left in the
“power on” state 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 300-meter distance.
7.
Ensure the wrist strap (Alpha 500 ~ 560 models) or the waist belt (Alpha 580 models) is worn at
all time during operation to avoid accidental damage to the transmitter.
8.
Never operate a crane or equipment with two transmitters at the same time with the same RF
channel and ID code, as it will cause radio interference.
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!
15.21 ¡§Changes or modifications are not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void
the user's authority to operate the equipment.¡¨
"Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device."
