PREPARING THE
#TX-7
THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE
RCS TX-7
2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C.
LAYOUT OF THE TX-7kTRANSMITTER HAND PIECE.
The small valve gear knob is in the upper middle (Ch # 3). The larger steam regulator knob sits just below (Ch # 1).
Top left is the ON
– OFF switch with LED. Top right is the Bind/Ch # 5 pushbutton. Use for servo whistle.
4 x ½ servo throws for 2 x servos or 4 x battery R/C sound system triggers (Ch # 2 & Ch # 4).
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
I
nsert 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 indicating it is ready to be bound.

FUNCTIONS OF TX-7k
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
T
he “BINDING” plug is removed & stored securely.
RCS offers an optional extra
# BINDER
cable and switch. When fitted this will enable any non RCS loco 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.
