Remote Control Systems TX-5vL, Manual

- 6 - 

5.  USING THE TX-5vL 

WITH AN RCS “LOW OFF” ESC’. 

The TX-5vL 

can be used with RCS LOW OFF ESC’s such as the OMEGA-3v8k using only program BV1. 

This TX-5vL hand piece is essentially a 5 channel stick R/C in a smaller case. 
Make sure the large throttle knob is fully CCW (OFF) & small knob is centered before you switch the system on. 
Switch on the TX-5vL first & then the ESC. (Unless binding)  
1.  The large knob controls channel # 1, the throttle.  Make sure the knob is fully CCW before switching on.  This is the 
same as the Channel # 1 stick being fully down. 
2.  The small knob top centre, is the same as a Ch # 3 elevator stick.   
Turning the small knob to the right (CW) is the same as pushing the elevator stick forwards. 
Turning the small knob to the left (CCW) is the same as pulling the elevator stick backwards. 
3.  From neutral, set the small knob to the direction you want and leave it there.  CW for forwards. 
4.  Twist the large throttle knob to the right (CW) to accelerate. 
5.  To slow down twist the large knob to the left (CCW) until desired speed is reached. 
6.  To stop loco turn the large knob fully to the left (CCW). 
Throttle must be at OFF before changing direction.  Pause at neutral for one second when changing direction.   
7.  To select reverse direction turn the small knob to the left (CCW) and leave it there. 
To speed up, slow down & stop in reverse, repeat steps 4, 5, 6, & 7.

LIGHTS & SOUND SYSTEM TRIGGERS. 

#

OMEGA

-3v8k

ESC’s

have directional lights & 4 x sound system triggers.  Follow instructions with the RCS ESC’s.  

If the directional lights are incorrect, swap over the wiring to them so they match the loco speed and direction.   

If your ESC or Rx does not have directional lights, the 

# Rx102-1(AB)LR

 Rx has directional LED lighting outputs.  OR: 

RCS has a small add on module 

# REV-LT

 that reads the speed & direction of the ESC & switches lights accordingly.   

The other functions are likely the same as they are for RCS if your centre off ESC has them fitted. 
If there are no sound triggers you can add a 

# 2-W-S

 to channel # 2. 

Add another 

# 2-W-S

 to channel # 4 for two more sound triggers.
