PREPARING THE
#TX-5vL
THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE
RCS TX-5vL
2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C.
LAYOUT OF THE TX-5vL TRANSMITTER HAND PIECE.
The valve gear knob is in the upper middle. The steam regulator knob sits just below.
Top left is the ON
– OFF switch. Top right is the Bind/Ch # 5 pushbutton. (Can be used for uncoupling).
The other two small knobs on the handpiece can be used for any servo controlled function.
These are AUX 1 = Ch # 2 & AUX 2 = Ch # 4 . They are the best to use for
“playing”
a steam 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.
HOW TO “BIND” USING A DSM2 RX
MANUAL BINDING using a binding plug.
1.1 I
nsert the “BINDING” plug supplied with the DSM2 RX into the “BINDING” pins on the
RX
.
You can also use the # BINDER pushbutton 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 do so) will blink rapidly and is ready to be bound.
TURNING TX-5vL ON BINDING CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS
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.
1.5 The LED on the RX will blink more slowly and then go solid ON.
1.5 The LED on the DELTANG ESC will behave the same.
1.6
When “BINDING” is complete the RX LED will change to solid ON.
N.B.
“BINDING” plug
MUST be removed BEFORE the SYSTEM is turned OFF.
1.7 T
he “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 T
X’s. You will be able to “hand off” speed matched locos for MU’ing into a consist.
