PREPARING THE
#TX-10
THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE
RCS TX-10
2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C.
LAYOUT OF THE TX-10 TRANSMITTER.
The Direction switch is in the upper middle of the hand piece. The speed control knob sits just below the direction switch.
Top left is the ON –OFF switch. Top right is the Bind/Ch # 5 pushbutton. At the top end of the case is the Inertia knob.
There are 4 sound system function triggers. They are marked F1, F2, F3 and F4.
These correspond to outputs 1, 2, 3 & 4 on the # LT-SW4v2 & RCS ESC’s.
Servo Channels # 6 & # 7 are on the front end.
Prior to using this system there are two procedures that must be carried out by the operator, unless
the TX and RX have already been bound and the system calibrated.
“BINDING”.
The 1st procedure is to “BIND” the receiver (RX) to the Transmitter (TX). This applies to all brands and types of ESC’s.
“BINDING” is accomplished by following a few simple steps below.
The operating program will ignore the RX Fail Safe commands.
The operator must have the spring loaded direction switch in neutral & the throttle knob to zero. i.e. Fully CCW.
HOW TO “BIND” USING A DSM2 RX.
1.1 MANUAL BIND
. 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.
For # 7-Ch-RX see separate instruction pages.
1.1
AUTO-BIND
receivers 1.3 below. Turn on the loco power >RX and wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter bind mode.
RX LED will flash rapidly OR;
1.2 MANUAL BIND
Turn the loco RX ON. The RX LED will start blinking very rapidly to indicate it is ready to be bound.
1.3
AUTO-BIND
Loco power ON >RX and wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter bind mode. RX LED will flash rapidly.
The loco with an OMEGA-3v6/7 ESC will always give a very slight jerk at switch ON. This is normal.

BINDING BUTTONS
Channels # 6 & # 7.
1.4
Press
and hold
the right pushbutton on the handpiece marked with a hexagonal symbol. You should keep TX &
RX at least 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.
1.6
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 pushbutton. 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.
How to calibrate the system is covered in the # OMEGA-3v7 ESC instructions.
