Summary of Contents for RCS OMEGA-3v7

  • 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 - 2 - #OMEGA-3v7 INSTALLING THE ESC. #OMEGA-3v7 ESC uses any DSM2/DSMX 6 x Channel RX’s including our own “Auto Binding” DSM2-EM(AB) Rx & SPEKTRUM or the ORANGE brand from Hobby King. Servo leads are supplied for connecting the ESC to the RX.
  • Page 3: Installation Options

    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.
  • Page 4 - 4 - #OMEGA-3v7 SETTING UP THE ESC. RCS TX-4, TX-8, TX-7 & TX-9 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-3v7.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.
  • Page 5 - 5 – 2. CALIBRATION. All RCS # OMEGA-3v7 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 - 6 - 3. PROGRAMMING WITH TX-1, TX-7 & TX-9. Operating features of t #OMEGA-3v7 system can be adjusted from the TX using the ESC pushbutton. 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.

    - 10 - #OMEGA-3v7 ESC MU’ing LOCO CONSISTS. MULTIPLE LOCOS IN A CONSIST. #OMEGA-3v7 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.
