You can obtain the ESC without an Rx supplied and you can use one of your choice. As long as the servo pin outs on the Rx & ESC match. If they do not match, RCS has a prewired adaptor # Rx-ADAPT with four servo cables.

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 14 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.

- 4 - #OMEGA-3v9s SETTING UP THE ESC. RCS TX-8 THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE 2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C. FOR BINDING, CALIBRATING & USING WITH A PLANET OR SPEKTRUM STICK RADIO REFER TO: http://www.rcs-rc.com/store/PDF/Instructions/Full%20instructions/OMEGA-3v9s.pdf Unless the TX and RX have already been bound and the system calibrated prior to using this system, there are two procedures that must be carried out by the operator, 1.

- 5 – 2. CALIBRATION. All RCS # OMEGA-3v9s 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.

- 7 - OMEGA-3v9s OPERATING THE ESC. WITH TX-8. THE THROTTLE KNOB MUST BE AT MIN i.e. ALL THE WAY CCW, BEFORE TURNING THE SYSTEM ON. Unless binding, always turn the TX on first. Then turn the loco ON. The loco will give a slight jerk (See page # 8) & the ESC &...
- 8 - #OMEGA-3v9s ESC MU’ing LOCO CONSISTS. MULTIPLE LOCOS IN A CONSIST. #OMEGA-3v9s 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.
