This LokPilot decoder is a true quad protocol decoder and besides DCC with RailComPlus® it also supports Motorola®, Selectrix and M4. It will only be available with the 21-pole interface with 6 amplified function outputs and is specifically designed for recently introduced Märklin® locomotives. Thus this decoder is the first choice for all Märklin® friends, who do not want to forego the mfx® compatibility.
Operating modes
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL supports DCC as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In DCC mode it supports 14-128 speed steps as well as 2- and 4-digit addresses and up to 28 functions. Due to RailComPlus® the decoders register automatically at suitable command stations.
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL supports all DCC programming modes and can be operated as well as programmed with suitable command stations: Thanks to RailComPlus® one can read out CV values on the main with matching command stations. There are utility registers for all command stations that can only program CVs 1-255.
Motorola® users profit from up to 28 speed steps for 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate the use of 16 functions. An integral programming mode also facilitates programming with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol allows for automatic registration to mfx® compatible command stations (e.g. Mär¬klin® Central Station or Mobile Station). Programming with these command stations (central units) can be accomplished in the same manner as you know it from the original Märklin® decoders.
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL decoder detects Märklin® braking sections just as well as ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC braking modules or with DC power is also possible. In addition, this decoder also responds to Selectrix® braking diodes.
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL decoder may be used in analogue DC and AC powered layouts.
The decoder automatically switches “on-the-fly” between the different operating modes. In most cases one does not have to adjust anything.
Motor control
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL is equipped with 5th generation load control. The performance may be adapted to different motor types by means of 6 parameters. Alternately the decoder sets its parameters to the optimum value once a test run in ”Auto tune” mode has been conducted. Adapting a decoder to the motor characteristics has never been easier. ESU decoders control all types of motors, no matter if its Märklin® motors, Fleischmann round motors, coreless motors (e.g. Faulhaber) or a centrally mounted motor with flywheel(s). With the aid of Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) you are able to limit the influence of load control, which allows you to control your locomotives with smooth speed settings in the yard area while the locomotive prototypically slows down going up the hill. SoftDrive® sine motors, such as in many Märklin® models, may also be controlled by the LokPilot V4.0 decoder. Thanks to SUSI this also works with Trix® locomotives.
Functions
The LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL decoder has six amplified function outputs connected to the 21 pole interface. This decoder has been developed for more recent Märklin® locomotives, because they deviate from the NEM 660 respectively VHDM RCN-121 norm and have amplified outputs AUX3 and AUX4 (instead of the logic level outputs). All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output may be adjusted independently. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements in conjunction with digital couplers by ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin Telex®.
Operational reliability
If so desired, you may connect a PowerPack (ESU part No. 54671) to the LokPilot V4.0 M4 MKL in the same manner as with all other 4th generation ESU decoders.
Protection
Of course, all function outputs as well as the motor output are protected against overload.
SKU: 64618The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Due to the combination of the digital decoder and the sound module on one circuit board we achieve the smallest possible dimensions of 30 mm x 15.5 mm. Therefore it fits into almost any H0 or 0 gauge locomotive.
Operating modes
Like all products of the LokSound family the LokSound 5 is a true multi protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. Of course it supports 14 through to 128 speed steps as well as 2 and 4 digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus® the decoders register themselves fully automatically on suitable command stations.
This decoder supports all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® you may read out the CV values on the main, provided you have a command station supporting RailCom®. There are utility registers for command stations that only facilitate programming of CVs ranging from 1 to 255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps for 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even allows programming with the good old Central Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx® compatible central units.
The LokSound 5 decoder supports the Märklin® braking sections just as well as the ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC is also possible. Furthermore the locomotive with a LokSound will come to a halt when a Selectrix® braking diode is switched into the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables the automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 decoder is also suitable for analogue DC and AC (!) layouts.
Sound
The LokSound 5 decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity.
The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles.
Functions
We are quite aware that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore we have packed many function outputs into it. Subject to the type of interface every LokSound 5 has at least 10 amplified outputs. The decoders with PluX22 or 21MTC interface have an additional 4 outputs for controlling servos or as logic outputs. Of course, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known as the coupler waltz - required for reliable operation of digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as Telex® couplers.
Motor control
Motor control of the LokSound 5 has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 decoder supplies up to 1.5A motor current, which is quite sufficient even for older motor types.
LokSound 5 DCC
The LokSound 5 DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts.
