The LokPilot 5 Fx is a function decoder
without motor output and therefore perfect
for installation in control cars or function
models. Because it talks DCC with RailCom®
as well as Motorola® and Selectrix, it can
be used with all common digital centers. He
shares his flexible radio-onskey assignment
and the manifold lighting effects with the
other LokPilot 5 decoders from ESU.
The LokPilot 5 Fx is supplied in three
variants: In addition to the "classic"
version with 8-pin NEM 652 harness, a
variant for the 21MTC interface and with
PluX22 interface is also available.
Modes
The LokPilot 5 Fx is a multi-protocol
decoder. It masters the DCC data format as
well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. In DCC
format, 14-128 driving steps are as natural
as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 28
functions can be triggered. Thanks to
RailComPlus® the de-coders register fully
automatically at a suitable digital center
(e.g. ECoS).
It masters all DCC programming modes and can
be used and programmed with all DCC-compatible
digital centers: RailCom® also allows the CV
values to 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 (e.g. ROCO®
multi-mouse).
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28
driving steps at 255 addresses. Three
additional Motorola® addresses enable the
triggering of 16 functions. A built-in
programming mode also makes reprogramming
possible with the venerable Control Unit
6021.

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 commuter train
allows automatic commuting between two
stations. Although this decoder does not
have an engine output, this is also
important with a function decoder in order
to be able to synchronize control cars and
motor cars.
The LokPilot 5 FX decoder can be used on
analog DC and AC 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 has been equipped with an
astonishing number of function outputs.
Depending on the cutting version, each
LokPilot 5 Fx decoder offers at least 10
reinforced function outputs with 250mA
output current each. In the versions with
PluX22 or 21MTC interface, 4 outputs for
controlling servos or logic level outputs
are added. All important lighting functions
are available. The brightness of each output
can be set separately.
Interaction
The LokPilot 5 Fx is designed for an
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.
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 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.
