THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE
RCS TX-5
2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C.
LAYOUT OF THE TX-5 TRANSMITTER HAND PIECE.
Pictures below show the TX-5v1 TX handpiece. The only difference is the case size & text.
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.
The other two knobs can be used for any servo controlled function.

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 OR RCS Rx65b & ALPHA-3v2 ESC’s.
1.1 LIVE STEAM
. 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.
1.1 Rx65b & ALPHA-3v2 ESC’s
See 1.2 below. Turn on the loco power >RX and wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter
bind mode. RX LED will flash rapidly OR;
1.1
OTHER ESC’s
. See Live Steam above.
1.2
Turn the loco RX ON. The RX LED will start blinking very rapidly to indicate it is ready to be bound.
1.3
Turn on the loco power >RX and wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter bind mode. RX LED will flash rapidly
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
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. (
