1. INTRODUCTION

The Alpha 6000 is a highly sophisticated industrial radio remote control system. The versatile
features of Alpha 6000 permits its usage in a wide range of industrial applications. The system can
be used to control all types of industrial cranes, tower cranes, building construction equipment,
automatic control systems, mining equipment, and many others.

The Alpha 6000 incorporates numerous advanced safety features and software programming that will
ensure maximum security and safety in the workplace. The major features of Alpha 6000 industrial
radio remote control system are as follow:

* The system is equipped 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) and
Hamming Codes (Error Recovery) programming. The responding time from system error to
receiver auto-shutdown is maximum 1 second.

* The encoding system utilizes advanced microprocessor control for 100% error-free data

transmission. The availability of 65,536 sets of unique security ID codes + 68 distinct RF
channels will ensure that only commands from a matching control transmitter can be carried out
without any interference from other radio systems.

* The decoding system utilizes dual-microprocessor control, which will ensure 100% error-free

calculating, bit checking and correcting of all incoming data.

* The system also utilizes an additional central microprocessor for data comparison and

crosschecking between the two decoding microprocessors. When faults are detected via this
central microprocessor, for maximum safety, the entire system will be shutdown immediately to
avoid possibility of any accidents occurring.

* The system utilizes PLL synthesized RF transmission. It allows the user to select from 68 sets

of frequency channels best suited for the environment. The frequency channel for transmitter
and receiver is selected via programming software. The receiver also has the ability to
auto-scan from these 68 sets of frequency channels. The receiver will search and locked on to
the intended matching control transmitter.

* For added safety the receiver also utilizes dual Safety Relays for the receiver MAIN relay

circuit. If the receiver MAIN relay is defective (example: fails to open or close during operation

or not respond to a “Stop” command) a fault will be detected and the system will be shut down

immediately to avoid possibility of any accidents occurring.

* The Alpha 6000 is equipped with numerous self-diagnosing functions, which include

transmitter low-voltage detection/warning, faulty pushbutton/joystick detection, faulty safety
MAIN relays detection, faulty relay boards detection, faulty EEPROM detection, faulty RX
module detection, incorrect ID code detection, and receiver MAIN auto-deactivation when
transmitter low-voltage is detected, when encountering strong radio interference, and when the
transmitter/operator is out of receiving range.

* The transmitter is equipped with power auto shutdown function: After 5 minutes of inactivity,

that is 5 minutes after the last pushbutton is released, the transmitter power will shut off

4

automatically. (0-120 minutes or no auto shutdown is selectable)

* The transmitter casing is composed of special engineering plastic and pushbutton waterproof

layer. The engineering plastic is featured with wearable, oil-proof, acid-proof, alkaline-proof,
high temperature resistance, anti-UV, water-proof and dust-proof. With the self-developed no
contact cross type and single axis joystick, there is no disadvantage of friction and
non-durability as the operation of direct contact. The operation life and reliability is for a
minimum of 1 million operating cycles.

* The receiver enclosure is composed of 100% aluminum alloy. It may eliminate the static

completely and avoid interference from radio radiation.

* Relay and proportional joystick output via RS485 interface (optional). It is also applicable

on internet type control.

* Receiver internal circuit is completely modularized. Including: receiving RF module,
decoding module, relay module, proportional output module, LCD display module and power

module. It is easy for the users to replace and extend.

* LCD display module shows the current receiver status, including individual relay output,
proportional output, receiving signal strength, error messages...etc.

* Maximum number of joysticks and pushbuttons on each transmitter:

1. 2 double axes joysticks plus 16 single speed pushbuttons

2. 8 single axis joysticks plus 12 single speed pushbuttons

3. If there is no joystick on the transmitter, maximum 32 single speed pushbuttons can
be installed on each transmitter.

* Relay and proportional output:

1. Maximum 32 relays. 8pcs relays on each relay interface card, maximum 4 relay

interface cards.

2. Proportional output interface cards available:

Standard: By voltage/current: 0~+5V, 0~+10V, 0~±5V, 0~±10V, 4~20mA, 0~20mA & 0~24mA

Customized: Customized proportional output interface card (optional).

* All Alpha 6000 function setting and selection can be done via Alpha 6000 software.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The Alpha 6000 system is relatively simple to use. However, it is very important to observe the
proper safety procedures before, during, and after operation. When using properly the Alpha 6000
systems will enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.

The following instructions should be strictly followed:

1. Make a daily check of the transmitter casing, joysticks and pushbuttons. Should it appear that
anything could inhibit the proper operation of the transmitter unit, it should be immediately
removed from service.

2. The transmitter voltage should be checked on a daily basis. If the voltage is low, the battery
pack should be recharged or replaced (refer to page 45 for battery power status LED display).

3. The emergency stop button (EMS) should be checked at the beginning of each shift to ensure
they are in the proper working order.

4. In the event of an emergency, activate the emergency stop button immediately by pressing the
red EMS button down. This will immediately disconnect the transmitter power and receiver
MAIN relays. Then turn the power “off” from the main power source of the equipment.

5. The transmitter power key, which is located on the right side of the transmitter box, should be
turned “off” after each use and should never leave the power key in “on” position when the unit
is unattended.

6. Do not use the same frequency channel and ID code as any other unit in use at the same facility
or within distance of 300 meters to avoid interference.

7. Ensure the waist belt and the shoulder strap is worn at all time during operation to avoid
accidental damages to the transmitter box.

8. Never operate a crane or equipment with two (2) transmitter units at the same time with same
frequency channel and ID code.

* Joystick is at neutral position or when neutral type VR is at 0°

position, 2-axis relays are OFF.
* Joystick Upper/Left axis or neutral VR operates clockwise:
Upper/Left axis relay is ON, Lower/Right axis relay is OFF.
* Joystick Lower/Right axis or neutral VR operates counter-

clockwise:
Upper/Left axis relay is OFF, Lower/Right axis relay is ON.
* The proportional output voltage/current can be wired to

Upper/Lower axis relay at the same time. When the joystick is
moving, the proportional output voltage/current will output via
the corresponding axis.

* The selected joystick or VR share the same relay.
* Either the selected joystick or VR is not in the center/

0° position (with output), the relay with joystick share the same

accelerator is ON.
* The selected joystick or VR is back to the center/0° position, the

relay with joystick share the same accelerator is OFF.

Opposite side

* When the joystick is back to neutral position, if the spring inertia
is too strong, then the joystick will spring back to the opposite
position. But the opposite relay output will be inhibited.

Assign the 8th

that share the
same accelerator

* Digital joystick

without this
function

* All the activated

joysticks/VR

style

* Not to use the

8th joystick/VR
(reserved for
sharing the
same
accelerator
output)

* The 8th joystick/VR are reserved for sharing the same

accelerator output. Not to use for general joystick.

* Joystick/VR share the same accelerator output is the same as the

selected joystick or VR as highest output “absolute value”.
(output always with plus voltage).

* The selected joystick or VR is back to neutral /0° position,

joystick/VR share the same accelerator analog output back to
neutral/0° position output.

8 joysticks allow
only one function
at the same time

* Either cross type

joystick

restriction or this

function can be

selected

* When “joystick/VR share the same accelerator analog output” is

not considered, only 1 out of 8 with output.

* 1~8 joysticks/VR, detect from joystick/VR 1 to 2,3~8. At last,

the joystick function first with output (joystick or VR not on
neutral/0° position), the rest without output. When “all

joystick/VR (including the one without function)” back to

neutral/0° position, output back to neutral/0° position and start
again.

Cross type
joystick
restriction

* Joystick only
* Only 1 out of 8

single axis

independently.
* Restriction for

each two

* Take 1-2 cross type joystick restriction as an example:
Joystick 1&2 without neutral but with output and another

joystick output is not allowed (1&2 joystick without neutral at
the same time, joystick 1 has the priority). When joystick 1&2
back to neutral, output back to neutral position and start again.

SICK LASER

* Single side VR

is not selectable

* SICK LASER “NORTH” is restricted to Up axis. The purpose

is for the very north positioning.

* SICK LASER “SOUTH” is restricted to Down axis. The

purpose is for the very south positioning.
* Joystick 1 is to the detecting point of CN13 1N(Up axis)/1S(Down) input.
* Joystick 2 is to the detecting point of CN13 2N(Up axis)/2S(Down) input.
* Joystick 3 is to the detecting point of CN13 3N(Up axis)/3S(Down) input.
* Joystick 4 is to the detecting point of CN13 4N(Up axis)/4S(Down) input.
* Joystick 5 is to the detecting point of CN14 5N(Up axis)/5S(Down) input.
* Joystick 6 is to the detecting point of CN14 6N(Up axis)/6S(Down) input.
* Joystick 7 is to the detecting point of CN14 7N(Up axis)/7S(Down) input.
* Joystick 8 is to the detecting point of CN14 8N(Up axis)/8S(Down) input.
* CN2 +0V supplies trigger purpose power level.

Example:

0~±10V output, SENSORs are equipped on the North/South end
of crane rail.

When the crane does not reach the North SENSOR, the input
detecting point that is sent from SENSOR to CN13 1N will not be
triggered;

When the crane reaches the North SENSOR, the SENSOR will
send detecting point 0V to CN13 1N input;

When the crane does not reach the South SENSOR, the input
detecting point that is sent from SENSOR to CN13 1S will not be
triggered;

When the crane reaches the South SENSOR, the SENSOR will
send detecting point 0V to CN13 1S input.

When joystick is operated to the Up axis position, the crane will
go to North. Before joystick reaches the North SENSOR, the
detecting point of CN13 1N input will not be triggered. The
output will depend on joystick Up axis angle 0~+10V. Crane will
go to North position continuously.

When crane reaches the North SENSOR, the detecting point of
CN13 1N input will be 0V. The decoding firmware will be
restricted as the North output. That is, when joystick is operated
to Up axis position, the output will be 0V. Then crane cannot go
to North position anymore.

When joystick is operated to the Down axis position, the crane
will go to South. Before crane reaches the South SENSOR, the
detecting point of CN13 1S input will not be triggered. The
output will depend on the angle 0~ -10V of joystick Down axis.
Crane will go to South position continuously.

23

When crane reaches the North SENSOR, the detecting point of
CN13 1S input will be 0V. The decoding firmware will be
restricted as South output. That is, when joystick is operated to
Down axis position, the output will be 0V. Then crane cannot go
to South anymore.

Selection of
linear output
curve: linear

* For proportional

joystick and VR
only

* The tilt percentage for input and output is fixed. Output from

neutral to maximum value is a straight line.
* Joystick/VR angle output corresponds to the tilt percentage of

this straight line.

Selection of

* For proportional

joystick and VR
only

* Forward/reverse parabola curves may be changed by dragging

mouse.
* Joystick/VR angle output corresponds to this curve.

Selection of

* For proportional

joystick and VR
only

* Output status is only available with neutral and highest level, no

in between one.

* Joystick moves/VR rotates to ”certain angle”, the output from

neutral immediately to highest point of the axis.
* Certain angle: changeable by dragging the mouse.

Non-symmetry

* For proportional

joystick and
neutral VR only

* Select “curve”

or “logic”

* Up/Down axis setting is independent.

neutral VR back to neutral position and single side VR back to 0° position, press down the assigned
pushbutton, then the receiver enters AUTOSCAN status and searches for the other transmitter. The
other transmitter has to START and standby, but no assigned pushbutton is pressed. After receiver
successfully catches the other transmitter, the AUTOSCAN function will stop and the operation priority is
transferred.

* Receiver relay setting

◎ LV relay: Transmitter low voltage relay or AUTOSCAN channel lock instruction

Function ON: Transmitter low voltage, LV relay ON
ON 2sec & OFF 2sec repeatedly: Transmitter low voltage, LV relay ON 2sec & OFF

2sec repeatedly

ON 1sec & OFF 1sec repeatedly: Transmitter low voltage, LV relay ON 2sec & OFF
2sec repeatedly

Shutoff Transmitter battery change or transmitter shutoff: Transmitter shutoff or change

(Not suitable for receiver channel AUTOSCAN enable)
Transmitter battery change: Transmitter should change the fully charged battery.

◎ STOP relay: Emergency stop relay

RELAY ON: Press emergency stop button when MAIN relay is ON. Or, receiver is

started but transmitter emergency stop button is pressed.
RELAY OFF: To activate emergency relay, transmitter non-emergency code has to be
received and receiver startup request has also to be met, that is, MAIN relay is activated.

◎ ID relay: Identical to MAIN relay ON/OFF.

◎ START relay: Press START button on transmitter, START relay ON; release START button then

START relay OFF

◎ ALARM relay MAIN relay ON Not in use.

* RELAY K1~K32 output position exchange: Corresponding function for relay K1~K32 is exchangeable at will.

Case 1: Each relay module is available with DC output relay up to 8pcs. (The change of AC output relay is

34

available upon request) That is each DC voltage output module is available with 8pcs of DC voltage
relay output. Whenever two types of voltage output, including relay and DC voltage output, are
mix distributed, relay K1~K32 may be applied to exchange output position. Arranging relay output
to relay module and DC voltage output voltage to AC voltage output module.

For example: 14-relay output and 7 DC voltage output are needed.

If you apply relay K1~K32 output position to exchange functions, the 14 relays will be
arranged from K1 toK14. Each receiver relay module, including slot I and II, with one relay
module. Keep K15 & K16 empty and then arrange 7 DC voltage output from K17 to K23.
Insert DC voltage output module to receiver relay module slot III.

Case 2: After the wiring for receiver relay output is completed, if more or less function is needed, relay

number and sequence will have to be changed and the re-wiring is needed. Relay K1~K32 output
can be applied to exchange function. For increasing relay numbers, the new wiring sequence can
be re-arranged manually to match the original wiring arrangement. Then move the increasing
relays to the last position in sequence, so that only the increased relay contacts need to be wired, the
original wiring will remain unchanged. For decreasing relay numbers, the new wiring sequence can
be re-arranged manually to match the original wiring arrangement. Then keep the decreasing relay
positions empty, so the original wiring will remain unchanged.

1. Required Tools:

(1) Flat Head Screwdriver (-)

(6) Self Drill φ10.5 mm ~φ11 mm

(2) 5 mm Wrench

(7) Needle-nose pliers

(3) Multi-Meters

(8) Diagonal pliers

(4) 14 mm Box Wrench or Socket Wrench

(9) Wiring Cable(cord between 14 mm ~18 mm) and

Materials

(5) Power Drill with 10.5~11mm Drill-Bit

2. Ensure receiver is not set to the same frequency channel and ID code as any other units in
use at the same facility or within distance of 300 meters.

3. Prior to installation, make sure that the crane system itself is working properly.

4. Use the multi-meter to check the voltage source available and ensure receiver voltage

setting is correct for this voltage.

5. Prior to installation, switch off the main power source to the

equipment.

6.4 Steps-By-Steps Installation

1. Be sure to put a stopper in the cable gland not in use after
wiring is completed.

2. Select a suitable location that is far from high voltage wiring or
equipment, such as motor, relay…etc., to mount the receiver.

3. As much as possible, the location selected should have the
antenna visible from all areas where the transmitter is to be
used.

4. The location selected should not be exposed to high levels
of electrical noise.

5. Ensure the selected location has adequate space to accommodate the receiver enclosure.

6. The distance between the antenna and the control panel should be as far apart as possible.

7. The use of an external axial cable to move the receiving antenna to the position for better signal
receipt where it is necessary.

8. Drill four holes on the control panel (11mm).

9. Tightened all screws provided.

10. For system wiring, please refer to the wiring diagram located on the last page of this manual and

on the backside of the receiver cover plate.

11. Ensure all wiring is correct and safely secured and all screws are fastened.

12. The power cable has to be connected to the AC position of power terminal block; the

ground wire has to be connected to the GND position (crane metal frame) or to the screw
fixing hole of ground wire on the receiver.

47

(Fig. 18)

13. Please refer to below figures. To open the metal cover, unscrew the power module cover as
positioned.

6.5 Wiring Diagram

Please refer to the wiring diagram located on the last page of this manual and on the backside of
the receiver cover plate.

6.6 System Testing

1. Connect the power source to the receiver and test the operation of each function to

ensure it operates in the same manner as the pendant controller.

2. Ensure the MAIN contact relay can be properly controlled by the remote control.

3. Ensure the limit switches on the crane that limit all travels are working properly.

4. Ensure the pendant controller is located in a safe location where it would not interfere

with remote operation.

7. OPERATING INSTRUCTION

7.1 Power “ON” the System

1. Insert the transmitter power key into the key-switch slot located on the right side of the transmitter

belly box.

2. Push the transmitter power key inward and then rotate it clockwise to “1” position.

“1” → “ON” “0” → “OFF”

3. To activate the system, first turn the EMS button clockwise so that the red button pops up. To

activate the function “When transmitter power is turned on, emergency stop button is compelled to
press & release check”: Press emergency stop button and release.

4. Press the START pushbutton to activate MAIN relay and the transmitter starts to send signals.

5. After 5 minutes of inactivity, that is 5 minutes after the last pushbutton is released, the green light

48

1 2

will disappear thus temporarily deactivating the transmitter power and the receiver MAIN.
Pressing START pushbutton thereafter will close the receiver MAIN and start the timing sequence
over again.

6. If any function, such as the frequency channel of the transmitter unit is altered via simple dip-switch
setting inside the transmitter (refer to page 13), you must then also change the frequency RF channel
in the receiver (refer to page 15~16). If the “auto-scanning feature” on the receiver is activated,

you must then press and hold the START pushbutton after turning “on” the transmitter power in

order for the auto-scanning receiver to identify the newly selected channel and then you may release
the START pushbutton to operate.

7.3 Joystick Correction

7.3.1 Reasons for Joystick Correction

The assembly / change of new joystick, increasing deviation after long-term operation or joystick output
non-proportional. (Not caused by settings)

7.3.2 Enter Joystick Correction Mode

Before joystick correction is proceeding, please first rotate transmitter power key to OFF position.

Dip-switch S2 on transmitter has to be set as 100000. (see below figure) After the setting of joystick
correction is done, rotate the power key to ON position. The power LED will display in orange (red and

50

green lights are ON at the same time), and the status LED will display in green quick blinks then the
transmitter enters joystick correction mode.

7.3.3 Joystick Correction Steps

Proportional joystick:

1. Select either joystick and operate it slowly. Then the buzzer will beep once briefly which means the

joystick axis direction catches the start position.

2. Continue to operate the joystick swiftly to the end and hold. Then the buzzer will beep twice briefly

which means the joystick axis direction catches the end position. The directional axis correction is
now completed and joystick may back to neutral position.

3. Repeat step 1 & 2 to correct the reverse directional axis of the joystick.

4. Repeat step 1~3 to complete all joysticks correction. After the joystick correction is completed, the

buzzer will have a long beep once and then the joystick status LED blinks in orange slowly.

5. When status LED display becomes orange blinking slowly, then setting is completed. Please refer to

8.3.4 for exiting from correction mode.

Digital joystick 1~5 speeds:

1. Select either joystick, operate it to the 1st speed position and hold. Then press START button and the

buzzer will beep once briefly. Release START button and the joystick axis direction catches the 1st
speed position.

2. Locate the 2nd ~5th speeds directional axis by following step 1. Then operate the joystick back to the

neutral position after the correction is completed.

3. Repeat step 1 & 2 to correct the reverse directional axis of the joystick.

4. Repeat step 1~3 to complete all joysticks correction. After the joystick correction is completed, the

buzzer will have a long beep once and then the joystick status LED blinks in orange slowly.

5. When status LED display becomes orange blinking slowly, then setting is completed. Please refer to

8.3.4 for exiting from correction mode.

7.3.4 Exit

After all joystick correction is completed, rotate the transmitter power switch to OFF position and set

dip-switch S2 as 000000 as shown on below figure, then all joysticks exit the correction mode and back to
normal operation.

51

Note:
(1) Please do not proceed with joystick correction when voltage is low. When voltage is low, please rotate

power key switch to OFF position and replace battery.

(2) Joystick correction has to be proceeded by following joystick axis sequence, otherwise joystick correction

cannot be continued and status LED display will also show as orange fast blinking light. If transmitter is
available with both digital and proportional joysticks, please correct the joysticks by following correction
steps for digital and proportional joystick respectively.

(3) Under “Correction Standby” condition, if no joystick is operated for more than 30 seconds, buzzer for

joystick correction overtime will have one long beep for warning. Status LED display will also show as red
LED ON_0.1sec/OFF_0.3sec with 5 blinks and OFF_0.8sec, then correction will be discontinued. There is
no sequence request for joystick correction. After long as correction for all joysticks is completed, the
status LED will continue to blink slowly in orange.

(4) Under “Correction” condition, if the joystick axis is not changed for more than 30 seconds or if the joystick

is back to neutral position, buzzer for joystick correction overtime will have one long beep for warning.
Status LED display will also show as red LED ON_0.1sec/OFF_0.3sec with 5 blinks and OFF_0.8sec, then
correction will be discontinued. During joystick correction, if status LED blinks in red for 5 times (please
refer to “Encoder status LED display”) and there will have long beep on the buzzer, then the correction is
failed. In this case, please shutoff the power and start the correction again.

(5) Under “2nd step Correction” condition, only the maximum joystick axis value will be recorded. No timing

will be over 30 seconds. During the 2nd step correction, please operate the joystick forward smoothly. Do
not shake the joystick or operate the joystick backward, otherwise the joystick correction cannot be
completed. Under “Correction Mode condition”, the power status LED displays in orange and the
correction has to be completed in 3 minutes. If not, the status LED blinks in red for 5 times (please refer to
“Encoder status LED display”) and there will have long beep on the buzzer, then the correction is failed. In
this case, please shutoff the power and start the correction again.

(6) Under “Correction Standby” condition, if the joystick axis buzzer has three beeps, that means the joystick

has been operated forward over half way. Please keep on operating the joystick forward to the axis end for
correction.

the green blinking light will now turned into a constant red light indicating that the battery pack is
now being discharged. If you want to cancel the discharge, just press “DISCHARGE” button again

4. When discharging is completed, the charger will automatically switch to the charging mode where the
green blinking light will reappear again

5. The charging time is approximately 3 ~ 6 hours.

6. When charging is completed, a constant green light will appear to indicate that the battery pack is
fully charged.

7. When the battery pack is at 90% charged state, trickle charging will take over to ensure the longevity
of the battery pack and as well as to ensure the battery pack is 100% charged

8. When the battery pack’s temperature exceeds 50℃, the charger will go into protective mode and
charging will be discontinued

9. To prolong the life of the battery pack, it is recommended that the battery pack be fully discharged
prior to every re-charging.
