Tx20Sv2 User Information
Tx20Sv2 is a hand-held wireless transmitter intended to control one model
railway live steam locomotive or a battery electric locomotive with the ESC set
to low-off throttle. Tx20Sv2 has a large knob for regulator control plus a
smaller knob for valve gear (or ESC direction control) and three push buttons
for auxiliary functions (e.g. a whistle servo).

Technology

Tx20Sv2 uses the 2.4GHz band which requires no frequency channel
control and is very resilient against interference. All radio frequency
components are contained on the internal
adjustable parts on this module and it should not be modified.
Tx20Sv2 is compatible with all DSM2 receivers; this includes all Deltang
receivers and many Spektrum plus 3rd part Spektrum compatible receivers.
Any number of receivers can be bound to your Tx20Sv2 but only one should normally be switched
on at a time to operate them independently.
Range is suitable for indoors and small outdoor sites; the outdoor free-air range to a Deltang
receiver is at least 50m. Range indoors is affected by building construction materials, furniture,
people and receiver installation.
The regulator and direction knob movemements and bind push button action are transmitted as
separate R/C 'channels' which must match the receiver configuration:

Battery

The Tx20Sv2 uses a PP3 9V battery, preferably Alkaline or NiMH / Lithium
rechargeable. The maximum working voltage of the internal electronics module is 10V
and there is a protection diode wired in series with the battery lead. This allows the
battery voltage to be up to 10.7V. If the battery voltage is above this value, the
internal regulator will shut down and the transmitter will not operate.
To replace the battery:
Make sure that the power on/off button is off (up) before) adding or removing a battery.
Remove the lid at the bottom rear of the case by sliding it downwards. When Tx20Sv2 is new this will
require a bit of effort to slide it past the retaning 'click'. The image at the right shows the case rear with
the battery lid removed.
Remove the battery from the compartment and pull the battery clip off the terminals. Replace the clip
on the new battery which will only fit one way round. TAKE CARE, if force is needed, the connector is
probably the wrong way round.
Replace the battery cover by sliding it up from the bottom making sure that the retaining tab goes
under the case rear. The battery is held in place with a piece of foam attached to the cover and you will
feel some resistance as the cover is pushed down onto the battery.

  • Page 1 Make sure that the power on/off button is off (up) before) adding or removing a battery. Remove the lid at the bottom rear of the case by sliding it downwards. When Tx20Sv2 is new this will require a bit of effort to slide it past the retaning 'click'. The image at the right shows the case rear with the battery lid removed.
  • Page 2 Tx20Sv2 has an illuminated push-button latching on/off switch on the top panel. The LED lights continuously when the transmitter is on and flashes when Tx20Sv2 is in bind mode (see below). It is best to switch the transmitter on before the receiver. If a receiver is switched on with Tx20Sv2 off, it is likely to enter bind mode with rapid flashing of the LED on the receiver board.
  • Page 3 One programming change requires up to five choices to be made. These are called 'levels' and each has several options. They are documented in the programming table for the particular receiver; the Micron web page description for a receiver contains a link to the programming table for that receiver. Completion of a programming change exits programming mode and requires the F1/F2 or SOS method to be entered again for the next change.
