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
characteristics and also the basic
characteristics 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-pole NEM 652 wiring harness,
a variant for the 21MTC interface and with
PluX22 interface is also available.
Modes
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is a "pure-bred" DCC
decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as
self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up
to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to
RailComPlus®, the decoders register fully
automatically at a suitable digital center.
It masters all DCC programming modes and
thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read
out on the main track with suitable control
panels. Auxiliary registers exist for
control panels that can only program the CVs
from 1-255.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder detects the
Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO®
HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system.
Braking with DCC brake blocks or with equal
voltage is also possible. In addition, it
also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An
automatic ABC pen train allows automatic
commuting between two stations. Although
this de-coder does not have an engine
output, this is also important for a
function decoder in order to be able to
synchronize control cars and motor cars.
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder can be used on
analog DC webs.
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 cutting position design,
each LokPilot 5 Fx DCC decoder offers at
least 10 reinforced function outputs with
250mA output current each. For the versions
with PluX22 or 21MTC interface, 4 outputs
are added for controlling servos or logic
level outputs. All important light radios
are available. The brightness of each output
can be set separately.
Interaction
The LokPilot 5 Fx DCC is designed for
interaction with the LokSound 5 and the
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.
Provided the same address, both behave
absolutely identically. The identical
arrangement of the CVs facilitates the
tuning of 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
overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder
for as long as possible.
