Product Description
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC is the “twin” of the LokPilot 5 micro. At just 8.0mm x 7.0mm and a thickness of only 2.4mm (at the capacitor: 2.9mm), it is just so small that it can be accommodated in very small locomotives with nominal sizes Z, N or TT. It is a pure DCC Decoder. However, this sacrifice of flexibility is rewarded with a lower price.
LokPilot 5 micro DCC decoders are offered with all common interfaces. The variants with Next18 or PluX16 interface are slightly larger with a base area of 13.0mm x 9.2mm, but have 2 additional function outputs.
Operating modes
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC 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 RailComPlus®, the decoders log on to a suitable digital control center fully automatically.
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 LokPilot 5 micro DCC decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking routes 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 LokPilot 5 DCC decoder can be used on analogue DC railways. The maximum speed can be set separately.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically “on the fly”. Most of the time nothing needs to be set.
Features
We know that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. We have therefore equipped the LokPilot 5 micro DCC with an astonishing number of function outputs. The variants with 6-pin or 8-pin wiring harness offer 4 amplified function outputs, each with 180mA output current, 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 adjusted separately. The decoder controls automatic pressing and releasing when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings.
Motor control
The engine control of the LokPilot 5 micro DCC has once again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-armature motors - the typical “humming” 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. The LokPilot 5 micro DCC decoder delivers enough juice for the intended application scenarios with up to 0.75A motor current.
Operational safety
If desired, 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.
