The LokPilot 5 micro DCC is a “pure” DCC decoder. Speed levels from 14 to 128 are just as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be activated. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders are connected to a suitable digital control centre fully automatically.
It controls all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with the appropriate control centres. Auxiliary registers are available for control panels that can only program CVs 1 to 255.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC decoder recognises Märklin® braking distances as well as ZIMO® HLU/ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking is also possible with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An automatic ABC shuttle train enables automatic travel between two stations.
The LokPilot 5 DCC decoder can be used on analogue DC railways. The maximum speed can be set separately.
The decoder switches between operating modes fully automatically "on the fly". Most of the time nothing needs to be set.
Functions
We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore, we have equipped the LokPilot 5 micro DCC with an astonishing number of function outputs. The variants with 6- or 8-pin wiring harness offer 4 amplified function outputs, each with 180 mA output current, as well as two logic level outputs for servos or Susi. The versions with Next18 or PluX16 interface have a total of 6 amplified outputs and two logic level outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder masters automatic pressure and release when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.
Motor control
The motor control of the LokPilot 5 micro DCC has been fundamentally improved again. An adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10 kHz to 50 kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-shaped armature motors – the typical “hum” is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 HP. The unique “Autotune” function allows the decoder to be automatically calibrated according to the motor. With a motor current of up to 0.75 A, the LokPilot 5 micro DCC decoder offers sufficient power for the intended application scenarios.
Operational safety
If desired, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 micro to connect dirty rail sections.
Protection
Of course, the motor output and function outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
