Product Description
With the LokSound 5 Nano DCC, ESU has managed to develop an even smaller LokSound decoder: at just 19.6 mm x 8.5 mm x 3.2 mm (5.3 mm with individual wires), it is the smallest LokSound decoder we have ever built. It should therefore really be used in all vehicles with nominal sizes N and TT. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder is a pure DCC decoder with open cable ends for free wiring or E24 interface and is supplied with an 11 x 15 mm “sugar cube” speaker and a sound capsule kit.
Operating modes
The LokSound 5 Nano is a “pure” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed levels are as natural as 2 and 4 digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to Rail-ComPlus®, the decoders log on fully automatically to a suitable digital control center.
It controls all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable control centers. There are auxiliary registers for control panels that can only program CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound 5 Nano DCC 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 direct voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two stations. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC can be used on analogue DC railways.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically “on the fly”. Most of the time nothing needs to be set.
sound
The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder can play up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and offers HiFi quality on your system. There is practically no audible difference from the original. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power drives the speakers, which can have an impedance of between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. A 128 Mbit sound memory ensures enough capacity. All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the exact simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles.
Features
Despite its small size, the LokSound 5 Nano DCC has 6 amplified function outputs and a logic level output as a soldering pad. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder controls the automatic pressing and uncoupling when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin-Telex® couplings.Motor controlThe motor control of the LokSound 5 Nano DCC has a variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz, which is just... Bell armature motors ensure super quiet operation - the typical “humming” is a thing of the past. The load control can also be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique “Autotune” function enables the decoder to be automatically calibrated to the motor. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor current.
Protection
Of course, the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
