(ESC)

 R/C system. 

 

THE TX-20+ IS ONLY FOR USE WITH RCS OMEGA-3 ECS’s THAT USE OPERATING 

PROGRAM RCS-v1 or ALPHA-3 ESC’s.   

THIS IS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE ESC’s OPERATE.  A SPRING LOADED SWITCH 

CHANGES DIRECTION, JUST LIKE THE SPRING LOADED ELEVATOR CONTROL ON A 

STICK RADIO. 

 

THE TX-20+ IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE WITH CENTRE OFF BATTERY R/C OR LIVE STEAM LOCOS. 

 

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER SPECIFICALLY TO THE TX-20+ HANDPIECE. 

They should be read in conjunction with the RCS ESC you are using. 

 

 

 

 

SWITCH FOR DIRECTION SETTING. 

300º KNOB CONTROL OF SPEED. 

NOT SUITABLE FOR LIVE STEAM

.

 

REMOVE REAR OF TX-20+ 

 

 

INSERT THE 9 VOLT BATTERY.

.

 

 

THE TX-20+ IS GUARANTEED FOR ONE YEAR. 

 

You will supply a locomotive or trail car, the 14 – 20 volt traction batteries (depending on ESC), a fuse, 

ON-OFF switch and wires where necessary, to connect the ESC to the battery and motor(s). 

Where soldering is necessary, we recommend a low wattage soldering iron and resin core solder. 

 

TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH OTHER OPERATORS, WE SUGGEST YOU MARK THE TX TO 

SHOW WHICH LOCO IT IS OPERATING. 

 

CAUTION 

 

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER THE TUNING OF THE RADIO EQUIPMENT. 

DO NOT USE RADIO CONTROL EQUIPMENT IN THUNDERSTORMS.
