- Page 2 - 2 - RCS-BELTROL INSTALLING ESC’s. SPEKTRUM IS A GROUP “A” R/C & THIS ESC MUST USE THE BTLvA1 OPERATING PROGRAM. RCS-BELTROL ESC’s can use a DX5e 5 channel 2.4 GHz digital proportional R/C AR500 RX with servo outputs. Other Spektrum RX’s can be used but we have not tested all of them. We have conducted development &...
- Page 3 PnP socket. It will collect constant track voltage which is then polarised, filtered, fused & connects to any ECLIPSE ESC w/screw terminals. Filtered DC is recommended. You may be able to use a non DC supply such as DCC.
- Page 4 If you do not have any lighting outputs connected you MUST be able to observe the LED on the ESC.

- Page 6 - 5 - 2. CALIBRATION. The 2 step in system preparation is to calibrate the direction & throttle sticks. Even though this step is only needed once when first setting up a new ESC, from time to time it is advisable to run through the procedure. 2.1 Turn ON the loco power.
- Page 7 - 6 - 3. PROGRAMMING. RCS-BELTROL Operating features of the system can be programmed from the TX by turning on CH # 5. 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. 3.2 TOP SPEED VOLTAGE.

Page 8: How To Operate
To speed up, slow down & stop in reverse see SPEEDING UP, SLOWING DOWN & STOPPING above. CONTROLLING MOMENTUM & SOUND TRIGGERS. RCS-BELTROL ESC’s feature controllable momentum. An operator can control precisely how much or how little momentum effect is applied whilst accelerating and braking. The default is Momentum enabled. - Page 9 - 8 - RCS-BELTROL ESC MU’ing LOCO CONSISTS. MULTIPLE LOCOS IN A CONSIST. RCS-BELTROL ESC’s are capable of MU’ing multiple locos in one consist of locos. You can add as many speed matched locos to the loco consist, as you like. Each loco must be bound to the controlling TX.
