ESU 59210 LokPilot 5 Fx Standard Multi-protocol (DCC/MM/SX/M4) Function-Only Decoder - NEM652 8-pin Wired Plug

They are perfect for use in "dummy", non-powered locomotives and rolling stock like passenger cars and cabeese where it is desirable to have lots of lights to turn on and off, to have diesel engine or generator sounds, but where there is no need to provide power or speed control to operate a dc motor.

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.

The LokPilot 5 Fx Decoder erkennd ie Märklin®-Bremsstrecke n ee eensnso wie ZIMO®-HLU/ZACK-Brems- 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 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.
