The Alpha 3000 series are highly durable, reliable, and safe industrial radio remote control system. The
versatile features of the Alpha 3000 series permit their usage in many different radio remote control
applications that required 1-step to 3-step pushbutton controls. The system can be used to control tower
cranes, factory cranes, monorail systems, multiple hoists, trolleys, mining equipment, building construction
equipment, automatic control systems, and many others.
The Alpha 3000 radio remote control systems incorporate numerous redundant safety circuits that guaranty
maximum security and ensure the system is resistant to outside interference. The major features of the
Alpha 3000 series are as follow:
* The system uses advanced 16+1bit microprocessor control with highly evolved software that has
redundant error checking and correcting capabilities to ensure 100% error-free transmission,
decoding, and control of all output relays. This highly evolved software includes CRC (cyclical
redundancy check codes) and Hamming Codes (error recovery) programming.
* To insure maximum operating safety, the Alpha 3000 system incorporates numerous important safety
features. Some of these built-in safety features include transmitter pushbutton self-diagnosing during
initial startup, transmitter low-voltage detection and warning, receiver self-diagnosing, and MAIN
deactivation when the transmitter is not in use (programmable).
* The transmitter encoder and receiver decoder both utilize advanced microprocessor control. The
availability of 65,536 sets of unique ID codes will ensure that only commands from the matching
control transmitter can be carried out without any interference from other radio systems.
* For added safety, the system also incorporates special type of safety MAIN relay. If the safety MAIN
relay becomes defective (fails to open or close during operation), it will signal the central system to
shut down immediately to avoid the possibility of any accidents occurring.
* 30 sets of user-adjustable receiving RF channels via simple dip-switch settings.
* 100% waterproofed transmitter and receiver enclosures (IP66 rated), including the battery
compartment.
Each Alpha 3000 series radio remote control system consists of a water-resistant IP66 handheld transmitter
and receiver. The transmitter casing is molded using industrial strength composite materials (Nylon +
Fiberglass) which are impervious to dust, water, oil, acids, alkaline, heat, sunlight and as well as being
resistant to deformation due to long term use in harsh environments. The industry’s best 2 & 3-step
pushbuttons are also constructed from industrial strength composite materials with a minimum of up to one
million press cycles. For power savings, the transmitter is designed with an ultra high efficiency power
saving circuit that requires only four “AA” size alkaline batteries for more than 250 hours of continuos
operation between battery replacements.
