PREPARING THE #TX-7

THESE INSTRUCTIONS REFER TO THE RCS TX-7 2.4 GHz 5 CHANNEL R/C.

LAYOUT OF THE TX-7kTRANSMITTER HAND PIECE.

The small valve gear knob is in the upper middle (Ch # 3). The larger steam regulator knob sits just below (Ch # 1).

Top left is the ON –OFF switch with LED. Top right is the Bind/Ch # 5 pushbutton. Use for servo whistle.

4 x ½ servo throws for 2 x servos or 4 x battery R/C sound system triggers (Ch # 2 & Ch # 4).

1. “BINDING”.

The 1st procedure is to “BIND” the receiver (RX) to the Transmitter (TX).

“BINDING” is accomplished by following a few simple steps below.

When binding we recommend removing the servos from the RX in case they are not correctly adjusted. Adjust servo

parameters after binding has taken place.

HOW TO “BIND” USING A DSM2 RX.

MANUAL BINDING using a binding plug.

1.1 Insert the “BINDING” plug supplied with the DSM2 RX into the “BINDING” pins on the RX.

You can also use the # BINDER switch assembly if you do not wish to get inside the loco.

1.2. The RX LED will start blinking very rapidly to indicate it is ready to be bound.

AUTOMATIC BINDING = no binding plug.

1.3 Turn the Auto Bind RX ON and the RX LED will blink slowly looking for a TX. Wait 20 seconds for the RX to enter

bind mode. The RX LED (& slave front headlight if programmed to) will blink rapidly indicating it is ready to be bound.

ON –OFF SWITCH

FUNCTIONS OF TX-7k

BUTTONS TO HOLD DURING BINDING.

1.4 Press and hold the right pushbutton on the handpiece marked with a hexagonal symbol. You may need to keep

TX & RX about 1 x metre apart for binding to take place.

1.5 Then press and hold the ON –OFF button to ON. Hold both buttons until the RX LED stops flickering & starts

blinking slowly. Then let both TX buttons go. The TX button also blinks slowly & then goes to solid ON.

1.6 The LED on all RX’s will blink more slowly & then go solid ON when “BINDING” is complete.

N.B. “BINDING” plug MUST be removed BEFORE the SYSTEM is turned OFF. (AB RX’s have no binding plug)

1.7The “BINDING” plug is removed & stored securely.

RCS offers an optional extra # BINDER cable and switch. When fitted this will enable any non RCS loco be bound to any

TX without requiring access to the inside of the loco. This will enable any loco to be swapped between any other DSM2

TX’s. You will be able to “hand off” speed matched locos for MU’ing into a consist.

2. PREPARING FOR USE WITH LIVE STEAM LOCOS.

(N.B. there is a centre détente on the big throttle knob).

Make sure the RX is OFF. Then re-insert the servos into the correct RX sockets.

The regulator servo goes in Ch # 1 (Throttle) socket.

The valve gear servo goes in Ch # 3 (Elevator) socket.

N.B. There is no battery/bind terminal on the Rx102-1(AB)LR Auto Bind Rx. Use any spare terminal.

Be careful selecting the correct terminal. They are marked on the back of the RX.

HOW TO ADJUST SERVOS USING REGULAR DSM2 RX’s. (See the instructions with our AB Rx’s for how to do it).

When using for the first time make sure both knobs are centered.

VALVE GEAR SERVO 

1.1 Turn the TX ON.

1.2Then turn on the Live Steam loco RX. The two servos should immediately snap to the neutral position.

1.3Adjust the valve gear servo connecting rod to ensure the centre position of the valve gear matches the servo.

1.4Turn the small knob slowly to the right Clockwise (CW) and check that the servo moves the valve gear to the

forward position.

If it goes the wrong way you will need to reverse the mechanical connection. 

If the small knob wants to make the servo move too far put the connecting rod into a servo arm hole closer to the

middle of the servo arm. If it does not move far enough move the rod into a hole further out.

N.B DO NOT FORCE THE SERVO AGAINST THE STOP. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE SERVO.

1.4 Turn the small knob slowly and carefully to the left Counter Clockwise (CCW). With regards to any possible

mechanical changes you made during 1.3 above, it should perform correctly.

STEAM REGULATOR SERVO. 

2.1 Turn the large knob to the left (CCW) the servo will rotate CCW and should close the steam regulator valve.

If it goes the wrong way you will need to reverse the mechanical connection. 

If the large knob moves the servo arm too far, i.e. over shutting the regulator, put the connecting rod into a servo arm

hole closer to the middle of the servo arm. If it does not move far enough move the rod to a hole further out. 

N.B. DO NOT FORCE THE SERVO AGAINST THE STOP. DOING SO WILL DAMAGE THE SERVO.

2.2Turn the large knob to the right to check the servo opens the steam regulator far enough.

IF MECHANICALLY CHANGING THE SERVO CONNECTIONS IS NOT POSSIBLE, RCS HAS AN # Rx102-1

MANUAL BINDING DSM2 RX THAT CAN REVERSE SERVOS & ADJUST END POINTS ON 3 X CHANNELS.

3. DRIVING LIVE STEAM LOCOS.

Make sure the TX is OFF and both knobs are in the middle. This is the same as the throttle & elevator sticks on a

conventional stick R/C being centered. You can feel the détente when twisting the small knob.

Turn ON the loco before the TX-7hand piece. When the loco is linked turn the big knob fully to the left (CCW).

Once steam has been raised select the direction of valve gear with the small knob.

Then turn the big knob CW. That is like raising the throttle stick on a conventional stick R/C.

Turn the big knob CCW to slow the loco. All the way CCW will bring the loco to a stop.

You can have a faster stop by centering the valve gear control knob. Then make sure the big knob is also fully CCW.

The Bind button doubles as a whistle control with a servo on Ch # 5. It starts off at one extreme and when pressed goes

fully the other way. It snaps back to the start point when released. Ideal for controlling a servo whistle.

There are 4 x small pushbuttons that provide 2 x ½ servo throws on 2 x servos. See diagrams.

4. USING THE TX-7 WITH AN RCS “LOW OFF” ESC’.

The TX-7 can be used with RCS LOW OFF ESC’s such as the OMEGA-3v8k using the BV1 operating program.

This TX-7 hand piece is essentially a 5 channel stick R/C in a smaller case and using all five channels.

Make sure the large throttle knob is fully CCW (OFF) and small knob is centered before you switch the system on.

Unless you are binding switch on the TX-7 first & then the ESC.

1. The large knob controls channel # 1, the throttle. Make sure the knob is fully CCW before switching on. This is the

same as the Channel # 1 stick being fully down. Ignore the centre “click”.

2. The small knob is the same as a Ch # 3 elevator stick.

Turning the small knob to the right (CW) is the same as pushing the elevator stick forwards.

Turning the small knob to the left (CCW) is the same as pulling the elevator stick backwards.

3. From neutral, set the small knob to the direction you want. CW for forwards.

4. Twist the large throttle knob to the right (CW) to accelerate.

5. To slow down twist the large knob to the left (CCW) until desired speed is reached.

6. To stop loco turn the large knob fully to the left (CCW).

Throttle must be at OFF before changing direction. Twist the small knob to the left (CCW) to reach neutral.

7. To select reverse direction turn the small knob to the left (CCW) again.

To speed up, slow down & stop in reverse, repeat steps 4, 5, 6, & 7.

LIGHTS & SOUND SYSTEM TRIGGERS.

#OMEGA-3v8k ESC’s have directional lights & 4 x sound system triggers. Follow instructions with the RCS ESC’s.

If the directional lights are incorrect, swap over the wiring to them so they match the loco speed and direction.

If your ESC or Rx does not have directional lights, the # DSM2-EM(AB) RX has directional LED lighting outputs. OR:

RCS has a small add on module # REV-LT that reads the speed & direction of the ESC & switches lights accordingly.

The other functions are likely the same as they are for RCS if your centre off ESC has them fitted.

If there are no sound triggers you can add a # 2-W-S to channel # 2.

Add another # 2-W-S to channel # 4 for two more sound triggers.

N.B. The TX direction knob must be in neutral when the Tx and RX/ESC are first switched ON.

USING THE TX-7 WITH A “CENTRE OFF”ESC.

The TX-7 is ideal for use with any CENTRE OFF ESC’s such as the # VIPER-10-15 & # VIPER-10-24.

Before you switch the system on, make sure the large throttle knob is in neutral. i.e. at the centre “click”.

For only one loco, the direction knob will not be used. It could be used for another Centre OFF ESC on Ch #3.

CENTRE OFF CONTROL.

FORWARDS - SPEEDING UP.

To select forwards direction twist the large knob from neutral slowly clockwise (CW) to the right.

SLOWING DOWN. Turn the large knob back to the left (CCW) to set desired speed.

STOPPING.Completely stop the loco by bringing the large knob back to neutral.

REVERSE - SPEEDING UP.

To select reverse direction twist the large knob slowly to the left (CCW).

SLOWING DOWN. Turn the large knob back to the right (CW) to set desired speed.

STOPPING. .Completely stop the loco by bringing the large knob back to neutral.

SHUTTING DOWN. When you have finished operating, turn off the loco(s) before the TX.
