The
LokPilot 5L is a compact 0 Gauge Non Sound decoder for smaller locomotives which need the advantage of 1.5Amps and above and comes with a Plug & play motherboard that can be fitted into most locomotives with simple wiring via its multiple solder pads.
The LokPilot 5 L is mechanically
compatible with the LokSound 5 L decoder and has the same connection
pins, thus at a later stage a Lok Sound 5L could be plugged into your pre fitted plug & play motherboard, 'Just add a Speaker' ITS SIMPLE.
Modes The LokPilot 5 L is a real
multi-protocol decoder. He masters the data format DCC as well as
Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In DCC format, 14 to 128 speed steps are
as natural as 2 and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. Thanks to
RailComPlus®, the decoders log on to a suitable digital centre fully
automatically.
It masters all DCC programming modes
and, thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read
out with suitable control centres. Auxiliary registers exist for control
centres that can only program CVs from 1-255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to
28 speed steps with 255 addresses.
Three additional Motorola® addresses
enable the activation of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode also
makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
M4 protocol enables automatic
registration at mfx®-compatible control centres. All 32 possible
function keys are offered here.
The LokPilot 5 L decoder can be used on analog DC and AC railways. The maximum speed can be set separately.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". Usually nothing needs to be set.
Features Each LokPilot 5 L comes with 11
amplified function outputs, each with a load of 500mA. In addition,
there are 6 further logic level outputs, which can also control (2
pieces) RC servos or SUSI expansion modules on request. All important
lighting functions are available.
The brightness of each output can be
set separately.
The decoder masters the automatic pressing and detaching
when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.
Two sensor
inputs can trigger functions on request.
Motor control The engine control of the LokPilot 5
L has been fundamentally improved again.
A variably adjustable PWM
clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super quiet operation,
especially with bell-armature 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 enables the decoder to be
automatically calibrated to the motor. With up to 3.0A motor current,
the LokPilot 5 L decoder provides enough juice even for older motors.
A Power Pack installed directly on the decoder helps to bridge dirty rail sections.
Protection Of course, all function outputs and
the motor output are protected against overload.
We want you to enjoy
your decoder for as long as possible.
