The brand ESU proposes under reference 59029, the Lokpilot decoder.
Features of the ESU 59029 Lokpilot decoder:
- Sockets: 21-pin (21MTC).
- Number of outputs:4 functional.
- Socket: NEM 660.
The LokPilot 5 Basic has been developed with the aim of offering a modern decoder with a classic range of functions at a reasonable price.
Modes:
The LokPilot 5 Basic is a DCC decoder containing 14 to 128 driving steps with addresses of 2 to 4 digits. Up to 20 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders connect fully automatically to an appropriate digital centre.
It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, CV values can be read on the main track with appropriate control panels. Auxiliary registers are available for control panels that can only program CV values from 1 to 255.
The LokPilot 5 Basic decoder detects Märklin® braking distances as well as the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake shoes or DC voltage is also possible. The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used with analogue DC strings. The maximum speed can be set separately. The decoder switches fully automatically between operating modes "on the fly". Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
Functions:
The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 enhanced function outputs in each version. In the 21MTC interface, there are 8 logic level outputs at the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All the important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.
Motor:
The LokPilot 5 Basic's motor control delivers up to 0.9A of DC current. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10 kHz to 50 kHz ensures ultra-quiet operation, particularly for bell anchor motors - The typical "hum" is a thing of the past. Load control can be adapted for difficult cases with up to 10 HP. The unique "Autotune" function automatically measures the decoder against the motor.
Operational reliability:
On request, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail breaks.
Of course, all function outputs as well as the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
