ESU 59222 LokPilot 5 Fx Standard NMRA DCC Function-Only Decoder - NEM658 PluX22 Integral Connector

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 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.
