INSTALLING RCS-BELTROL ESC’s.
HOBBY KING IS A GROUP “B” R/C & THIS ESC MUST USE THE BTLvB1 OPERATING PROGRAM.
RCS-BELTROL ESC’s can use a HK TR6a 6 channel 2.4 GHz digital proportional R/C TX & RX with servo outputs.
We have conducted development & testing with both Mode # 1 & Mode # 2 systems. See page # 4.
These have sprung Elevator & non sprung Throttle controls which are used to control the locomotive.
The RCS-BELTROL program uses the L to R Aileron & Rudder sticks to trigger 4 x sound effects.
The channel # 5 knob is used for initial speed calibration, making system program changes such as Start/Max voltage,
default direction start, system reset & sound trigger outputs from momentary to latch ON - OFF
See page # 7 for information as to how the TX sticks are used.
LOCOMOTIVE SEPARATION.
It is not necessary to separate 2.4 GHz R/C R/C systems with crystals. They are all legal for air & ground use. Every TX
has a unique identifier code and any TR6a receiver (RX) can be “BOUND” to any HK T6a TX.
“BINDING” must be done before the system can be used. Ideally it should be done before the RX is plugged into the #
DEC-U pcb. However, if this is not possible, we have supplied a 3 way cable to temporarily join the RX to the # DEC-U
before final installation. This will allow access to the “BINDING” socket on the RX for the “BINDING” plug supplied with
the HK TR6a RX. See page # 4 for the “BINDING” procedure.
Insert “BINDING” plug. Then place # EX-LD into any RX &
DEC sockets. Orange to centre of pcb. Then follow page # 5.
Remove the # EX-LD & binding plug before installing the RX
into the # DEC-U. # DEC-U & Tr6a RX shown.
You can mount the # DEC-U PCB with double stick tape or non conductive silicone. Do not allow metal objects to touch
the rear of the PCB. Damage to the PCB may result.
INSERTING THE HK-TR6a RX.
The TR6a 2.4 GHz RX simply plugs into the # DEC-U upside down & eliminates all servo leads. Be careful locating the
pins into the pcb sockets. You must accurately align the RX pins to the numbers shows. 1 – 6.
It will be a stiff push fit, but do not force the RX home.
The # DEC-U provides a 5 volt BEC supply for the 6 channel TR6a 2.4 GHz RX. You do not need batteries for the RX.
Hold one part in each hand.
Carefully line up pins # 1 – 6.
Then gently press onto socket.
The fit will be tight. Do not force.
The BATTERY – BIND terminals must NOT be connected.
