2.  CALIBRATION. 

All RCS 

OMEGA-3v5s 

systems are pre-calibrated when sent out, using one of our own TX handpieces. 

Please test the system before re-calibrating it.  

If you are going to use a stick type TX, the end points may be different so re-calibration may be necessary. 

Assuming the RX has been correctly plugged into the ESC the system will perform as described later. 

 

The 2

nd

 step in system preparation is to calibrate the direction & throttle knobs.  Even though this step is only needed 

once when first setting up an uncalibrated ESC, from time to time it is advisable to run through the procedure to ensure 

the best possible system performance is achieved. 

A pushbutton is mounted on the pcb for both Calibration & system Programming.  See 2.2 below right. 

You can calibrate & program the system external to the loco by adding the separately available plug in # P-BUTTON. 

 

 

 

2.1  Turn the TX-7 ON.   

Make sure Throttle knob is set 

to Min. (i.e. fully CCW). 

2.2  Press and HOLD ESC push-button down & turn the ESC/Rx ON.  Release 

the pushbutton when LED’s light. 

 

 

Reaction;  Both ESC LED’s & both front & rear lights will turn solid ON & stay ON for 6 seconds waiting for the TX and 

RX to link up.  Once linked both ESC LED’s & both front & rear lights will flash rapidly. 

 

 

2.3  Twist the small direction knob right & left full travel a 

couple of times.  Pause briefly each way then return 

knob to the middle position.

 

2.4  Rotate throttle knob from Min to Max & back a 

couple of times.  Pause briefly at each extreme then 

return knob to Min (CCW) setting.   

 

2.5  Press & release the ESC pushbutton to exit Calibration mode.

 

 

 

Reaction;  Both ESC LED’s & both loco lights will blink three times at a slower rate & both lights will go to solid ON. 

The system is in neutral and ready to operate.   Either turn the loco and TX OFF for later use, or proceed to page # 6.
