  • Page 2 - 2 - #OMEGA-3v5k INSTALLING THE ESC. #OMEGA-3v5k 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 See below. POWER SOURCES. #OMEGA-3v5k 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.
  • Page 4 - 4 - #OMEGA-3v5k SETTING UP THE ESC. TX-2s,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. Prior to using this system there are two procedures that must be carried out by the operator, unless the TX and RX have already been bound and the system calibrated;...
  • Page 5 - 5 – 2. CALIBRATION. All RCS # OMEGA-3v5k systems are pre-calibrated when sent out, using one of our own TX handpieces. Please test the system before re-calibrating it. Assuming the RX has been correctly plugged into the ESC the system will perform as described later.
  • Page 6 3. PROGRAMMING. Operating features of t system can be programmed from the TX using the ESC #OMEGA-3v5k 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.
