The LokPilot
5 micro is
the smallest
digital
decoder from
ESU to date.
Thanks to
the use of
subminiature
components,
8-layer
printed
circuit
boards and
the latest
manufacturing
technology,
it is so
small with
only 8.0mm x
7.0mm and a
thickness of
only 2.4mm
(on the
capacitor:
2.9mm) that
it can be
used even in
very small
locomotives
Nominal
sizes Z, N
or TT can
accommodate.
Nevertheless,
functionality
and
robustness
were not
spared
compared to
the larger
versions.
LokPilot 5
micro
decoders are
offered with
all common
interfaces.
The versions
with Next18
or PluX16
interface
are a bit
larger with
a base area
of 13.0mm
x 9.2mm, but
they also
speak for
the mfx®-compatible
M4 protocol.
Modes
The LokPilot
5 micro is a
real
multi-protocol
decoder. He
masters the
data format
DCC as well
as
Motorola®,
Selectrix®
and M4. In
DCC format,
14 to 128
speed steps
are as
natural as 2
and 4-digit
addresses
and up to 32
functions.
Thanks to
RailComPlus®,
the decoders
log on to a
suitable
digital
center fully
automatically.
It masters
all DCC
programming
modes and,
thanks to
RailCom®,
the CV
values on
the main
track can be
read out
with
suitable
control
centers.
Auxiliary
registers
exist for
control
centers that
can only
program CVs
from 1-255.
Motorola®
users
benefit from
up to 28
speed steps
with 255
addresses.
Three
additional
Motorola®
addresses
enable the
activation
of 16
functions. A
built-in
programming
mode also
makes
reprogramming
possible
with the
venerable
Control Unit
6021.
The Next18
and PluX16
variants
also allow
automatic
registration
to mfx®-compatible
control
centers
thanks to
the M4
protocol.
All 32
possible
function
keys are
offered
here.
The LokPilot
5 micro
decoder
recognizes
the Märklin®
braking
distances as
well as ZIMO®
HLU / ZACK
commands or
the Lenz®
ABC system.
Braking with
DCC brake
modules or
with DC
voltage is
also
possible. It
also stops
with a
Selectrix®
brake diode.
An ABC
automatic
shuttle
train
enables
automatic
commuting
between two
stations.
The LokPilot
5 decoder
can be used
on analog DC
trains. The
versions
with Next18
or PluX16
can also be
used on
analog AC
systems. The
maximum
speed can be
set
separately.
The decoder
switches
between the
operating
modes fully
automatically
"on-the-fly".
Usually
nothing
needs to be
set.
Features
We know that
you want
your
locomotives
to be as
realistic as
possible.
That is why
we have
equipped the
LokPilot 5
micro with
an
astonishing
number of
function
outputs. The
variants
with 6-pin
or 8-pin
wiring
harness
offer 4
amplified
function
outputs with
180mA output
current each
as well as
two logic
level
outputs for
servos or
Susi. The
versions
with Next18
or PluX16
interface
have a total
of 6
amplified
outputs and
two logic
level
outputs. All
important
lighting
functions
are
available.
The
brightness
of each
output can
be set
separately.
The decoder
masters the
automatic
pressing and
detaching
when
uncoupling
for ROCO®,
Krois® and
Telex®
couplings.
motor
control
The engine
control of
the LokPilot
5 micro has
been
fundamentally
improved
again. A
variably
adjustable
PWM clock
frequency
from 10kHz
to 50kHz
ensures
super quiet
operation,
especially
with
bell-armature
motors - the
typical
"hum" is a
thing of the
past. The
load control
can now be
adapted to
difficult
cases with
up to 10
CVs. The
unique "Autotune"
function
enables the
decoder to
be
automatically
calibrated
to the
motor. With
up to 0.75A
motor
current, the
LokPilot 5
micro
decoder
provides
enough juice
for the
intended
application
scenarios.
Operational
safety
On request,
a PowerPack
can be
connected to
the LokPilot
5 micro to
bridge dirty
rail
sections.
Protection
Of course,
the motor
output and
the function
outputs are
protected
against
overload. We
want you to
enjoy your
decoder for
as long as
possible.
