ESU 59925 – LokPilot 5 Nano DCC, E24 interface

The LokPilot 5 Nano DCC is the “twin” of the LokSound 5 Nano DCC. At 19.6 mm x 8.5 mm and a thickness of only 3.2 mm, it is exactly the same size as the corresponding LokSound decoder, but does without the sound functions. The LokPilot 5 Nano DCC is equipped with the E24 interface, which will fit into many newly released N gauge locomotives.

Modes

The LokPilot 5 Nano DCC is a “pure-bred” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps 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 DCC System fully automatically. It masters all DCC programming command stations. Auxiliary registers exist for DCC systems that can only program CVs from 1-255.

The LokPilot 5 Nano DCC decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections 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 Nano DCC decoder can be used on analog DC trains. The maximum speed can be set separately. The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically “on-the-fly”.

Functions

Despite its small size, the LokPilot 5 Nano DCC has 8 powered function outputs as well as a 5 logic level outputs provided at the E24 interface. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately. The decoder controls the automatic start-up and disconnection when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin telex ® couplings.

Motor

The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Nano DCC has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the typical “hum” is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique “Autotune” function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. The LokPilot 5 Nano DCC decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor power.

Protection

Of course, the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long a
