2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION
The Alpha 580 system is relatively simple to use. However, it is very important to observe the
proper safety procedures during operation. When use properly the Alpha 580 system will
enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
The following instructions should be strictly followed:
1. Make a daily check of the transmitter casing 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 two
"AA" alkaline batteries should be replaced.
3. The emergency stop pushbutton (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 pushbutton immediately. Then
turned the power “off” from the main power source of the equipment.
5. The power switch should be turned “off” after use and should never left the power “on”
when the unit is unattended.
6. Do not use the same RF channel and ID code as any other unit in use at the same facility.
7. Ensure the wrist strap is worn at all time during operation to avoid accidental dropping.
8. Never operate a crane or equipment with two (2) transmitter units at the same time with
same RF channel and ID code.
