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!
