Esu offers a LokPilot V5 Fx decoder for miniature trains in HO 1/87th scale under part number 59229.
- This LokPilot V5 operating in DCC, is equipped with the latest RailComPlus technology, making it easy to connect with an appropriate digital control unit..
- Decoder LokPilot V5 Fx compatible with an interface PluX22 and socket NEM 660.
- The FX version is a decoder without engine output, ideal for service vehicles (control car..).
- This digital module comes in 3 versions: the "classic" version with 8 pins and NEM 652 sockets, a variant for the 21MTC and 1 other for the PluX22 interface.
The features of the LokPilot V5 Fx decoder:
This digital device is a multi-protocol decoder, mastering the data format in DCC, Motorola, Selectrix, and M4. 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 braking modules in DCC, 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 drive unit. The decoder automatically switches between the different operating modes.
This lokpilot has no motor output.
It is suitable for towed equipment, car lighting or similar.
The characteristics of the digital decoder under reference 59229:
- The LokPilot FX decoder embeds up to 10 reinforced outputs with a current of 250 mA each.
- For the PluX22 and 21MTC versions 4 additional outputs are added.
- Light intensities can be adjusted separately.
The motor control of the ESU digital device:
The motor control has benefited from numerous improvements, such as a PWM frequency with variable adjustment between 10 kHz and 50 kHz, ensuring very quiet operation. Gone is the hum 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 motor.
This LokPilot V5 provides power up to 0.9 A.
The safety aspect of the ESU 59229 decoder:
This digital module feature protected outputs in the event of electrical overloads, preventing damage to this equipment.
