3000 Series - Description |
Advanced
System Software
The Alpha 3000 series utilizes advanced "RISC" microprocessors
with highly evolved software that has redundant error checking
and correcting capabilities to ensure 100% trouble-free transmission,
decoding, and control of all output relays. Our advanced system
software includes CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check) and Hamming
Code Error (Error Recovery). Drop the word code and capitalize
the words.

Safe
& Reliable Operation
To ensure maximum safety and reliability the Alpha 3000 incorporates
the following features; Transmitter; pushbutton fault-detection
_ visual warning _ auto-shutoff. Receiver; fault-detection _
auto-shutoff, and Receiver Main auto shutoff when the system
is in sleep mode (programmable) or when Transmitter low voltage
is detected.
|
Secure
Operation
Both transmitter and receiver utilize advanced 16+ 1bit microprocessor
control. The availability of 65,536 sets of unique ID codes
ensure that only commands from a matching transmitter can be
carried out. Both the receivers and transmitters have adjustable
ID codes. For added safety each system installed in your plant
will operate on one of 30 distinct channels (frequencies) further
reducing the risk of interference from outside sources.

 Safety
Main Relay Circuit
For added safety our advanced design utilizes a special Safety
Relay for the Main EMS circuit. If the receiver MAIN relay is
defective (Example: Fails to open in response to a Stop command)
a fault will be detected and the system will shutdown (open)
all output relays immediately.

30
User-Selectable Channels
Receivers are equipped with our custom narrow band FM, Phase
Lock Loop (PLL) synthesized RF module with 30 sets of user selectable
FM channels (frequencies). A chart is provided on the face of
the RF module indicating the dip switch setting for any of the
available channels. Only receivers are channel adjustable, transmitters
are fixed.

 Durable
and Rugged Transmitter
Transmitter enclosures are constructed of composite materials
(Nylon + Fiberglass) that resist cracking or deformation. The
transmitter enclosures are totally sealed and impervious to
dust, water, oil, grease, most acids, alkaline, heat, sunlight,
IP66 rated. |
