The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is a function decoder without motor output and is therefore perfect for installation in control cars or function models. As the "twin brother" of the LokPilot 5 Fx, it shares its features as well as the basic features of all other LokPilot 5 decoders, but is a pure DCC decoder.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is supplied in three variants: In addition to the "classic" version with 8-pin NEM 652 cables, a variant with the 21MTC interface and one with the PluX22 interface are also available.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is available in three variants.
Modes:
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is a "pure breed" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 notches and 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders register fully automatically with a suitable digital control unit.
It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® CV values can be read on the main track with adapted control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program CVs from 1 to 255.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder detects Märklin® braking distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK controls or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake shoes or equal tension is also possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® braking diode. An automatic ABC pen train enables automatic shuttling between two stations. Although this decoder has no motor power, this is also important for a function decoder in order to be able to synchronise control cars and motor cars.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder can be used on analogue DC networks.
The decoder switches "on the fly" fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
Functions
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC has been equipped with an astonishing number of function outputs. Depending on the design of the cutting position, each LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder offers at least 10 enhanced function outputs with an output current of 250 mA each. For versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface, 4 outputs are added to control servos or logic level outputs. All the important light radios are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.
Interaction
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is designed for interaction with LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders: for example, it is possible to equip the locomotive of a multiple unit with a LokSound 5 decoder and the control car with a LokPilot 5 Fx DCC. Given the same address, both behave in exactly the same way. The identical CV layout makes it easy to tune the two decoders.
Operational reliability
On request, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Fx DCC to bridge dirty rail cuts.
Protection
Of course, the outputs are protected against overloads. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
