LokSound 5 L is intended for use
in all applications where the required power exceeds the limits
of LokSound 5. Ideally these are 0 gauge vehicles and also
smaller 1 gauge locomotives. Despite its compact dimensions of
only 50.8 mm x 25.4 mm x 14 mm it is equipped with a dual
speaker output and integral PowerPack.
The LokSound 5 is equipped with a multi-pin connector and is
supplied ex works with an adapter board featuring solder pads.
Operating modes
Like all products of the LokSound family the LokSound 5 L is a
true multi protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as
Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. Of course it supports 14 through
to 128 speed steps as well as 2 and 4 digit addresses in DCC
format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus® the
decoders register themselves fully automatically on suitable
command stations.
This decoder supports all DCC programming modes and thanks to
RailCom® you may read out the CV values on the main, provided
you have a command station supporting RailCom®. There are
utility registers for command stations that only facilitate
programming of CVs ranging from 1 to 255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps and 255
addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate
triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even
allows programming with the good old Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx®
compatible central units.
The LokSound 5 L decoder supports Märklin® braking sections just
as well as the ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC
system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC is also
possible. Furthermore the locomotive with a LokSound 5 L will
come to a halt when a Selectrix® braking diode is switched into
the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables automatic
commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 L decoder is also suitable for analogue DC and AC
layouts.
Sound
The LokSound 5 L decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels
simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and
thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your
layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any
difference to the original. A dual class D audio power amplifier
with up to 2-times 3W output power feeds the speakers with a
permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound
memory assures sufficient storage capacity.
The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted
separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a
rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all
conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking
functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with
maximum control of your vehicles.
Functions
Every LokSound 5 L decoder has 11 amplified function outputs. On
top of that there are another 6 logic outputs, which can, if so
desired, control two RC servos or SUSI extension modules. Of
course, all important lighting functions are supported. The
brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The
decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known
as the coupler waltz - required for the reliable function of
digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as
Telex® couplers. 4 sensor inputs may be employed in order to
trigger functions.
Motor control
Motor control of the LokSound 5 L has been further improved. A
variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz
assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless
motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load
control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus
will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto
Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the
decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 L decoder
supplies ample current for the motor, namely up to 3.0 A.
