CENTERING CH # 1 ON THE Tx HANDPIECE.

 

Before switching the Tx on we recommend you perform a Tx “Centering” procedure especially if  
the Tx  battery has recently been replaced. 

The following applies to all three EVO series handpieces.

The # EVO-BAT+ battery will eventually go flat if left switched on.  The operating program may be disrupted.

The Ch # 1 centering on the # TX-1 system will need to be reset;
1.)  Set big knob at the centre pont.
2.)  Press the ON – OFF button to turn the # EVO-BASIC+ ON.   LED light will come ON.
3.)  Within 60 seconds, press and hold the bind button for 20 seconds.
4.)  After 20 seconds the # EVO-BASIC+ ON – OFF LED light will go off.
5.)  Release Bind button.
6.)  LED light will come back ON.  Centre reset is complete.

ALWAYS COMPLETE THE ABOVE PROCEDURE WHEN REPLACING THE 9 VOLT BATTERY.

 

REVERSER & INERTIA CONTROL

The setting of the reverser relay and the inertia period is controlled by a separate reverser channel with 
a centre zero detent control.  Small knob on RCS Tx handpieces using Channel # 3.

T

o correct for errors in transmitted pulse widths, the 1.50 ms 

stop 

PWM setting value can be user 

calibrated.
The 

inertia period 

quoted is the time to increase from 

zero 

to 

full 

motor voltage, and vice versa. It is 

adjustable in units of 

1 second

, depending on the rotation of the reverser control.

With default settings, the 

Reverser Relay 

is 

de-energised 

in 

Forward

. If required, this can be changed 

by the user to be 

de-energised 

in 

Reverse

.

DETAILS OF # OMEGA-10 ESC

The C38 battery R/C installation kit is supplied 
with the Rx bound (paired) to the 

# BASIC+ 

Tx 

handpiece.  The 

# EVO-BASIC+

 handpiece has 

been set up for Low OFF ESC control.
Likewise the 

# OMEGA-10

 ESC has been 

calibrated for optimum performance.
There should be no need to re-calibrate the ESC.
However, if after binding the loco to a different Tx, 
the ESC LED flickers fast and doesn’t switch ON, 
make sure the Tx handpiece centering is set up 
for Low OFF control.  See below.
Then, If it doesn’t work correctly, the best thing to 
do is make an 

ESC  Factory Reset

. This is done 

without turning the Tx handpiece on.

FACTORY RESET.

To perform a factory reset:

1

. With the 

# OMEGA-10

 

de-energised, press and 

hold the 

SET-UP

 push button.

2. 

Then power up the unit, with the push button 

still pressed.

3

. The 

LED

 will flash slowly for 

10 seconds

, and 

then go fully on.

4

. Then release the SET-UP push button. The unit 

will reload all factory default calibration values into 
non-volatile memory, and then restart normally.
If the 

SET-UP

 push button is released before the 

end of ten seconds, the unit will restart with no
change to the previous settings.

5.

  Switch power to loco OFF.

Once reset you will need to re-calibrate the ESC.
