are available in two versions. They use the same software as our recent
# Rx107v2.
The
AB-EM
has
End Mount
servo pins. The
AB-TM
has
Top Mount
servo pins.
Apart from the servo pin layout they are identical and can be used as is.

receivers are well suited for use in large scale live-steam or battery powered locos. It operates on
the 2.4 GHz band using the Spektrum DSM2 and DSMX protocols; thus it operates just like any other
DSM2/DSMX receiver but includes many extra useful features.
The
are small (18 x 30mm) and space for it is easily found in most locos.
The
AB-RX
’s
have free air range, when used with an RCS low-power transmitter, of 50m-60m and
approximately 200m when used with a full-power (100mW) transmitter. This range will be reduced indoors due
to absorption by furniture / fittings and reflections from metal surfaces. Range is also reduced if the receiver
aerials are in a metal enclosure. Ideally, the aerials should be placed outside the vehicle body and clear of any
metal. The
AB-R
x’s
are supplied with either one or two extended aerials for use on locos that have a completely
enclosed metal body. The active tip of the extended aerials need to 'see' the transmitter so should be placed
through holes in the loco body - e.g. into the cab space. Spread apart is ideal. The
AB-Rx
aerials should not
be cut short or made longer as this will affect operation of the receiver. It is important to perform a range check
after installation to ensure you have full control of your loco at all positions around the layout.
FEATURES accessible from default.

Supplied ready for live-steam use. The
outputs can be connected to standard R/C servos to operate the
regulator, reverser, blower, gas valve and whistle.
will work with any servo that uses a standard pwm
(1ms - 2ms) pulse width modulated signal and operates off the selected battery voltage. See below.
Servo Reversing.
A simple way is to install a
# SIG-REV
on each servo required.
Servo End Point
& Reversing
are adjustable by purchasing the optional extra
# PIN-8-pb
plug in cable.
CENTRE OFF
Battery Powered Loco. Use as is.
A Centre OFF Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) such as the Fosworks # COBRA-160 or 260 that supports
forward and reverse should be connected to P1/Ch1 as shown in the diagram. Use any RCS Tx handpiece.
The ESC is connected to the traction battery via a fuse and the
is powered from the ESC 5V output.
LOW OFF
Battery Powered Loco. Selection requires a simple Jumper plug program change.
When an RCS
EVO
or
Dual Use
model rail transmitter & a Low OFF ESC such as an RCS OMEGA-10, are
used together, the throttle is on P1/Ch1 controlled using the large speed knob and direction change is on P3/Ch3
controlled using the dedicated small reverser knob. Again, the
is powered from the ESC 5V output.
CONNECTORS & INDICATORS.
have 7 sets of output pins 5 x of which are used for servos, & 2 x for Directional LED
’s for lighting.
The pin sets, numbered from the top of the diagram below, are 0.1" pitch to take standard R/C plugs
