“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 unplugging the servos from the Rx in case they are not correctly adjusted. Adjust servo
parameters after binding has taken place.
KEEP THE TX HANDPIECE AT LEAST ONE METRE FROM THE LOCO.
HOW TO “BIND” USING AN RCS
# AB-EM
or
# AB-RA
Auto Bind receiver.
N.B. The R/C battery pack should be connected to the designated Batt - Bind terminal. That is next to Ch # 1.
1)
The Tx must be OFF. Then provide power to the Rx unit. Brief flash. Then, after 8 seconds, Rx LED flashes quickly.
2)
Ensure distance separation of 1 - 2 metres from receiver.
3)
Then press & hold Bind button & turn the Tx ON. Rx LED’s will go out. Let Tx buttons go. Tx will flash slowly.
4)
Then, after 10 seconds, the Rx will come back on for two flashes and then go solid on after another 5 seconds.
5)
Solid LED light means binding is completed.
6)
Turn Rx OFF then Back ON again.
ON OFF SWITCH
PRESS & HOLD BIND THEN TURN ON.
If the Auto Bind Rx has been replaced with a Manual Bind Rx. Refer to the manual
Bind Rx instructions for how to wire in lighting outputs and binding.

RX’s do not have
lighting outputs For Live Steam you can use an
# MRW-SSLS
R/C switch on Ch #3 as well as the Reverser servo. The
Reverser knob controls both. For both LOW-OFF and CENTRE-OFF battery R/C locos, our new 100 Watt
ESC’s have
directional constant lights.
# EVO-BASIC Sound Trigger.
There are two available for use with Ch # 5 when using a Low OFF or Centre OFF ESC.
The
# MRW-RSS
single relay &
# MRW-SSSS
sound triggers control for LGB & other sound equipped locos.
# EVO-BASIC+ Sound Triggers.
See page # 5 for information regarding the extra sound triggers.
Cruise Control.
Depending on the Rx it is quite OK to turn the TX handpiece OFF and allow the loco to continue cruising
at the set speed until the Tx handpiece is turned on again.
Be aware that when turning the Tx handpiece back ON, relinking can take a few seconds.
