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.
Below are some of many types of pushbutton configurations that are also available, please contact your dealer
for more details.

1. Make sure the two “AA” NiMH rechargeable batteries are installed correctly. Please note the polarity
of the batteries.
2. Status lights _To operate the transmitter, please rotate the power key on the top-left corner clockwise
to “on” position. The status LED (green and red) will be steady “on” for 2 seconds and then “off”. If
the transmitter Status LED displays a red blinking light that is “on” 0.1 second and “off” 1.9
seconds, or no light at all, this indicates the transmitter with batteries needs to be recharged. For battery
charging or replacement, please refer to instruction next page.
3. When any function pushbutton is depressed, the transmitter Status LED displays a red blinking light
that is “on” 0.1 second and “off” 1.9 seconds. If the voltage is low, the transmitter Status LED
will be “on”0.1 second and “off”1.9 seconds, this indicates the transmitter with batteries needs to
be recharged. Continuous operation will cause the transmitter battery power exhausting and cannot
operate at all.
4. EMS & Restarting _ In case of an emergency, press down the red emergency stop button (EMS) will
immediately deactivates the transmitter and receiver MAIN relay. (do not rotate the power switch to
OFF first)
Shutting Off the Transmitter(POS) _ (Mode 0) To disconnect the transmitter power just turn the power
key to “off” position. When the power key is switched from “on” to “off”, the transmitter will also
send a “Stop” command to the receiver for 3 seconds, the red status light flashes 3 times and at the
same time deactivate the MAIN relay.
Shutting Off the Transmitter(POS) _ (Mode 1) To disconnect the transmitter power just turn the power
key to “off” position. When the power key is switched from “on” to “off”, the transmitter will also
send a “Stop” command to the receiver for 3 seconds and at the same time deactivate the MAIN relay.
5. The emergency stop button is a right-rotate momentary spring-return type. To turn on the transmitter
and activate the MAIN relay, please elevate the emergency stop button again and rotate the transmitter
power key to “ON” position.
6. Note that the transmitter cannot be hit by outer force, so that malfunction can be prevented.
7. The operating temperature is -10 ~ +60℃. Avoid operating the transmitter in high temperature
workshop. If operating temperature is higher than 80℃, the auto shutdown protection installed inside
CPU will shut down the transmitter and deactivate the MAIN relay.
8. To operation normally, the battery power must over 2.2V. If the voltage is lower than 2.2V, the
system cannot be started and low voltage will be showed until the MAIN is completely shutdown.
9. If the power voltage is lower than 2.2V when transmitter is operated, the LV code will be “1” and low
voltage status light will be shown. For standard system, the transmitter will stop sending signals
when voltage is lower than 2.0V. But for EN ISO 13849-1 version, the transmitter will stop sending
signals when voltage is lower than 1.8V.

STOP: press → lock (emergency stop) STOP : Elevate clockwise → reset (Turn on the transmitter at any time)
9. RECEIVER INSTALLATIO N
9.1 Preparation for Installation
2. Check to ensure that your receiver is not set to the same RF channel and ID code as any other
systems in operation at the same facility or within 300-meter distance.
3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane or equipment itself is working properly.
4. Use a multi-meter to check the voltage source available and ensure the receiver voltage setting
matches your power source.
5. Prior to installation, switch off the main power source to the crane or equipment.
α604/607/608
1. For better reception, the location selected should have the antenna visible from all areas where the
transmitter is to be used.
2. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels of electrical noise. Mounting the
receiver next to an unshielded variable frequency control (inverter) may cause minor interference.

1. Connect the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output by pressing the red
emergency stop button (EMS) and observe that it properly opens and closes the main line disconnect
contactor.
2. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels and/or
the pendant it is replacing.
3. Test the limit switches on the hoist and/or crane and verify they are working properly.
4. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant, make sure it is completely disconnected
to prevent unwanted control commands, i.e. snick circuits.
5. If your new remote control is replacing an existing pendant make sure it is stored in a safe location
where it will not interfere with remote operation (get torn off).

The electromagnetic induction charger with undisclosed metal charging contacts on transmitter
provides immediate charging simply by sliding the transmitter into the charger. It is not necessary to
open the battery cover to replace batteries.
To avoid rain, high temperature, humidity and corroding air, please place or install the battery charger
indoor with good ventilation. Keep 5cm space for two sides of the charger to keep the heat out. The
suggesting temperature range is 0 ~ 40℃.
