We tested this system three times during manufacture. It was working normally when it left our factory.
You will supply a locomotive or trail car, the 14 – 20 volt traction batteries (depending on ESC), a fuse,
ON-OFF switch and wires where necessary, to connect the ESC to the battery and motor(s).
Where soldering is necessary, we recommend a low wattage soldering iron and resin core solder.
TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH OTHER OPERATORS, WE SUGGEST YOU MARK THE TX TO

Summary of Contents for RCS OMEGA-3v5s

  • Page 1 THERE ARE MANY FEATURES WITHIN THE SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE PROGRAMMED. YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE FULL INSTRUCTION MANUAL FROM THE RCS WEBSITE. THE PUSHBUTTON ON THE ESC PCB IS ONLY USED FOR PROGRAMMING. DO NOT PRESS THE ESC BUTTON DURING OPERATION.
  • Page 2 & sound trigger outputs from momentary to latch ON – OFF. If you need to calibrate the system you must download the full instruction manual from the RCS website. See URL on page # 1.
  • Page 3 ESC can only be used with battery power as it comes. Ensure the battery pack is fully charged before use. Contact RCS for information on how to use the ESC with a constant track voltage. N.B. The absolute minimum voltage is 12 volts. If you use any less voltage the system will still respond, as in the LED’s will light and respond to direction change, but the motor drive output will not work.
  • Page 4 - 4 - #OMEGA-3v5s SETTING UP THE ESC. RCS TX-3, TX-5 & TX-7 THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE 2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C. ALL THE ABOVE TX’s USE THE SAME BINDING PROCEDURE. FOR BINDING, CALIBRATING & USING WITH A PLANET OR SPEKTRUM STICK RADIO REFER TO: http://www.rcs-rc.com/app/webroot/PDF/OMEGA-3/ESC-TEXT/OMEGA-3v3.pdf...
  • Page 5 - 5 – 2. CALIBRATION. All RCS # OMEGA-3v5s systems are pre-calibrated when sent out, using one of our own TX handpieces. Please test the system before re-calibrating it. If you are going to use a stick type TX, the end points may be different so re-calibration may be necessary.
  • Page 6 Operating features of t system can be programmed from the TX using the ESC pushbutton. #OMEGA-3v5s Programming can only take place when the system is in neutral. 3.1 START VOLTAGE. This feature is designed to equalise the starting voltage of dissimilar locos.
  • Page 7 1. Sound powered by a separate battery. Connect the grounds on both the ESC and sound system. 2. Sound powered by ESC. Already has a common ground. #OMEGA-3v5s ESC has 4 x sound triggers controlled by the four small push buttons on the TX-7 handpiece.

    - 8 - #OMEGA-3v5s ESC MU’ing LOCO CONSISTS. MULTIPLE LOCOS IN A CONSIST. #OMEGA-3v5s ESC is capable of MU’ing multiple locos into one consist of locos. If you intend to do this often we strongly recommend you use the # DSM2-EM(AB) in all locos. These bind automatically which is much easier to use than a binding plug.
