The LokPilot 5 is the most important representative of the LokPilot family and is suitable for almost all questions in locomotives of gauge H0 and 0.
LokPilot 5 decoders are offered with all common interfaces.
The LokPilot 5 is a true multi-protocol decoder. It masters the DCC data format as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In DCC format, 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital centre.
It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 driving steps at 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola ® addresses enable the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode also makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol allows automatic login to mfx®-compatible control panels. All 32 possible function keys are offered.
The LokPilot 5 decoder detects the Märklin® braking distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An AUTOMATIC ABC commuter train allows automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokPilot 5 decoder can be used on analog DC and ac current webs.
The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between the operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. That's why we packed the LokPilot 5 with function outputs. Depending on the interface design, each LokPilot 5 decoder offers at least 10 reinforced function outputs with 250mA output current each. For the versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface, 4 outputs are added for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. The decoder controls automatic decoupling and decoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.
The engine control of the LokPilot 5 has again been fundamentally improved. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can now be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. The LokPilot 5 decoder delivers enough juice for older engines with up to 1.5A motor current.
On request, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 to bridge dirty rail sections.
Of course, all function outputs as well as the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
