Page 2: Introduction
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 2-step or 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. -
Page 3: Safety Instruction
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. -

Example 1: ID code 00000000:10101010 Example 2: ID code 01011001:00011100 All Alpha 3000 systems are also equipped with a PLL synthesized receiving RF module with up to 63 user-adjustable RF channels. The RF channel dip-switch is located on the topside of the receiving RF module, covered by a sliding door. -
Page 20: How To Change The Transmitter Channels
For example: Change from channel 201(301.105MHz) to 202(301.130MHz). 1. Pull out the power key. 2. Unscrew and disassemble the transmitter bottom casing then you will see the encoder board as below Fig. 1. (Fig.1) 3. Take out one of the batteries. 4. - Page 21 (Fig.2) 5. Change the DIP3 to channel 202 (frequency dip-switch 00000010) as shown on Fig.3. (Fig.3) 6. Change “1” of the DIP3 to “ON” position as shown on Fig.4 to setting status (frequency dip-switch 10000010). (Fig.4) 7. Put the battery back into the battery compartment and insert the power key to its original position, then green LED is ON and the change is completed.
- Page 22 Number 1 is set as Number 2-8 is the the write-in binary channel selecting dip-switch. “ON” is dip-switch. “ON” is “1” and “OFF” is “0”. the setting status. As shown above, the dip-switch setting is 10000010 for channel 202.

Page 24: Pushbutton Contact Settings
For example: Change the frequency band from 433MHz to 480MHz. 1. Pull out the power key. 2. Unscrew and disassemble the transmitter bottom casing from the transmitter and you will see the encoder board. 3. Take out the batteries. 4. The below Fig.5 shows the SH number of each frequency band needs to be shorted. (Fig.5) Unsolder the SH37 to make it open and then short the SH38 for band 480MHz. -
Page 25: Voltage Settings
For example: Change the transmitting power from 0dBm to -3dBm. 1. Pull out the power key. 2. Unscrew and disassemble the transmitter bottom casing from the transmitter and you will see the encoder board. 3. Take out the batteries. 4. The below Fig.8 shows the SH number of the transmitting power needs to be shorted. (Fig.8) Unsolder the SH33 to make it open and then short the SH34 for -3dBm. - Page 26 There are numerous pushbutton functions that can be programmed via an 8-position dip-switch located on the decoder module (refer to the diagram below). By adjusting each dip setting either to the top or bottom location will change the contact form of the intended pushbutton (refer to the chart below). Transmitter pushbuttons are numbered from right-to-left and then from top-to-bottom.
- Page 27 There are four different voltage settings available inside the Alpha 3000 receiver located next to the bottom relay board, please select one that corresponds to the main power source of the crane or equipment.

Page 28: Receiver Installation
Required Tools: Flat Head Screwdriver (-) Phillips Head Screwdriver (+) Multi-Meter Open End Wrench Power Drill with 10.5mm ~ 11mm Drill-Bit 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 distance of 300 meters. -
Page 29: System Testing
Connect the power source to the receiver and test the MAIN relay output (red EMS button) and observe that it properly opens and closes the main line. Test the operation of each function to ensure it corresponds to the transmitter direction labels and/or the pendant it is replacing. -
Page 30: Transmitter Operation
Batteries _ Make sure the four “AA” alkaline batteries are installed correctly, the labels on the battery holder will tell you which side is “up” and which side is “down”. Use 2,000mA alkaline type batteries for optimum operating time between replacements. If rechargeable batteries are used, for optimum operating time between replacements, select ones rated above 1,600mA. - Page 31 remove the JP2 jumper (refer to JP2 setting on page 15 & 16) then the MAIN relay will remain closed until the “Stop” command is received or the main power source to the crane or equipment is turned off. EMS & Restarting _ In case of an emergency, press down the red EMS button will immediately deactivate the transmitter power and receiver MAIN relay.
