Esu offers a LokPilot V5 micro sound decoder for N 1/160th scale model trains under part number 58721.
This LokPilot V5 micro operating in DCC Direct, is equipped with the latest RailComPlus technology, making it easy to connect to an appropriate digital control unit
.This digital decoder offers a size of 66 x 8.2 mm, ideal for N 1/160th scale locomotives.
The features of the LokPilot V5 micro decoder:
This digital device is a multi-protocol decoder, mastering the DCC data format. In DCC format, the decoder can vary its speed between 14 and 128 notches, offering up to 32 functions.
Thanks to RailComPlus technology, this decoder automatically connects to an appropriate digital exchange. It also masters all DCC programming modes, CV values on the main track can be read with suitable control centres. There are auxiliary registers for control centres that can only program CVs between 1 and 255.
This module recognises Märklin braking sections and Zimo, HLU / Zack e Lenz ABC controls. You can also proceed to DCC braking modules, stopping with a Selectrix brake diode.
The decoder can be used on DCC analogue miniature networks. The speed can then be programmed independently for each motor. The decoder automatically switches between the different operating modes.
The decoder can also be used with the Selectrix brake.
The characteristics of the digital decoder under reference 58721:
- The intensity of the lighting effects (end of convoy lights, etc), can be adjusted independently.
- The decoder benefits from 10 soldered LEDs, 2 of which are designed to provide front and rear lighting for the machines. Two others connected to the aux3 and aux4 outputs to switch digital panels, for example. Then 6 others for lighting several elements of your choice.
The motor control of the ESU digital device:
The motor control has benefited from a number of improvements, such as a PWM frequency with variable settings between 10 kHz and 50 kHz, ensuring very quiet operation. Gone are the hums of the past, replaced by silent operation!
The load control now has up to 10 HP, adjustable at any time.
The "Autotune" function automatically calibrates the decoder to the engine.The LokPhone is also equipped with an "Autotune" function.
This LokPilot V5 provides power up to 0.9 A.
The safety aspect of the ESU 58721 decoder:
This digital module features outputs that are protected in the event of electrical overloads, preventing damage to this equipment.
