BINDING

.

The 

C38 

battery R/C installation tray will have the Rx pre-bound 

(paired) to the Tx handpiece.
Binding will be required if the Rx is to be bound to a different Tx. 

OR

 

If the Rx 

WAS

 switched on and the Tx 

NOT

 switched on at all, = the 

Rx going into fast flash bind mode.

HOW TO “BIND” USING AN RCS 

Auto Bind receiver.

# AB-RA 

  

1)

  Remove coal load from the tender.

2)

  Switch the Locomotive OFF.

3)

  Switch the Tx OFF by pressing the button so LED is OFF.

4)  Switch the Locomotive ON to provide power to the Rx unit. The Rx 
will give a brief flash. Then, after 8 seconds, Rx LED flashes quickly.

5)

 

  Ensure distance separation of 1 - 2 metres from receiver. 

6)

   Press & hold Bind button & turn the Tx ON. Rx LED's will go out. 

Release Tx buttons. Tx will flash slowly.

7)

  Then, after 10 seconds, the Rx will come back on for two flashes. 

Then go solid 

ON

 after another 5 seconds. 

8)

  Solid LED light means binding is completed. 

9)

  Turn Rx OFF then Back ON again.

10)

 if you are proposing to calibrate the OMEGA-10 ESC do so when 

the ESC LED is flashing for 2.5 seconds. Otherwise wait 2.5 seconds 
and then operate loco normally.
