PREPARING THE 

#TX-2

 

 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE 

RCS TX-2 

2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C. 

LAYOUT OF THE TX-2 TRANSMITTER HAND PIECE. 

 

The valve gear SWITCH is in the upper middle.  The larger speed control knob sits just below.  

Top left is the ON – OFF switch with LED.  Top right is the Bind/Ch # 5 pushbutton.  Use for servo whistle. 

 

1.  “BINDING”. 

The 1st procedure is to “BIND” the receiver (RX) to the Transmitter (TX).   
“BINDING” is accomplished by following a few simple steps below.  
When binding we recommend removing the servos from the RX in case they are not correctly adjusted.  Adjust servo 
parameters after binding has taken place.. 

 

HOW TO “BIND” USING A DSM2 RX. 

 

MANUAL BINDING using a binding plug. 

 

1.1 

Insert the “BINDING” plug supplied with the DSM2 RX into the “BINDING” pins on the 

RX

You can also use the # BINDER switch assembly if you do not wish to get inside the loco. 

1.2.

 The RX LED will start blinking very rapidly to indicate it is ready to be bound. 

 

AUTOMATIC BINDING = no binding plug. 

 

1.3 

Turn the 

A

uto 

B

ind RX ON and the RX LED will blink slowly looking for a TX. Wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter 

bind mode.  The RX LED (& slave front headlight if programmed to) will blink rapidly and is ready to be bound. 

 

 

 

 

FUNCTIONS OF TX-2 

ON – OFF SWITCH

 

BUTTONS TO HOLD DURING BINDING

 

 

1.4 

Press 

and hold

 the right pushbutton on the handpiece marked with a hexagonal symbol.    You may need to keep 

TX & RX about 1 x metre apart for binding to take place. 

 

1.5 

Then  press 

and  hold

  the  ON  –  OFF  button  to 

ON

.    Hold  both  buttons  until  the  RX  LED  stops  flickering  &  starts 

blinking slowly.  Then let both TX buttons go.  The TX button also blinks slowly & then goes to solid ON. 

1.6 

The LED on all RX’s will blink more slowly & then go solid ON when “BINDING” is complete.

 

 

N.B. “BINDING” plug 

MUST

 be removed 

BEFORE

 the SYSTEM is turned OFF.  (AB RX’s have 

no binding plug)

 

1.7

  The “BINDING” plug is removed & stored safely.   

 

RCS offers an optional extra 

# BINDER

 cable and switch.  When fitted this will enable any non RCS loco to be bound to 

any  TX  without requiring  access  to the  inside  of  the  loco.    This  will  enable  any  loco  to  be  swapped  between any  other 
DSM2 TX’s.  You will be able to “hand off” speed matched locos for MU’ing into a consist.  (
