LokPilot 5 DCC, 8-pin NEM652, gauge HO ,O

The LokPilot 5 DCC is the “twin brother” of the LokPilot 5. Both share almost all properties, but the LokPilot 5 DCC is a pure DCC decoder and cannot be used on analog AC layouts. However, this lack of flexibility is rewarded with a lower price

LokPilot 5 decoders are offered with all common interfaces.

Operating modes

The LokPilot 5 DCC is a “pure” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps are just as natural as 2 and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders register fully automatically with a suitable digital command station.

It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values ​​on the main track can be read out with the appropriate central units. Auxiliary registers exist for command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255.

The LokPilot 5 DCC decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC braking modules or with direct current is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® braking diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting 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 the operating modes fully automatically “on-the-fly”. Usually nothing has to be adjusted.

Functions

We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. That’s why we packed the LokPilot 5 DCC with function outputs. Depending on the interface design, each LokPilot 5 DCC decoder offers at least 10 amplified function outputs, each with an output current of 250mA. In the versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface, there are 4 additional outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder masters the automatic pressing on and off when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.

Engine control

The motor control of the LokPilot 5 DCC has again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with coreless 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 a motor current of up to 1.5A, the LokPilot 5 DCC decoder supplies enough power even for older motors.

Operational safety

If desired, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 DCC to bridge dirty rail sections.

Protection

Of course, all function outputs and the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to be able to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
