The ESU LokPilot 5 DCC is a specialized version of the LokPilot 5 decoder developed exclusively for DCC operation. With the 21MTC MKL interface, this decoder offers excellent control for H0 and 0 gauge locomotives. By dispensing with analog and AC compatibility, the LokPilot 5 DCC is not only more cost-effective, but also perfectly matched to digital DCC systems. It offers extensive functions and maximum precision in control for demanding model railroaders.
ESU GmbH stands for high-quality digital technology and is one of the leading brands in the model railroad sector. The LokPilot 5 DCC is further proof of ESU's innovative strength and offers a reliable and powerful control solution for all those who want to operate their locomotives on digital DC systems. With the 21MTC MKL interface, this decoder is ideal for locomotives that require flexible and comprehensive control.
The LokPilot 5 DCC supports the DCC format with 14, 28 and 128 speed steps and enables precise speed control as well as up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailCom®, the decoder can use bidirectional communication, which enables CV values to be read out directly on the main track. Support for all DCC programming modes offers flexible and easy configuration, allowing model railroaders to customize their locomotives to their liking.
For realistic train control, the LokPilot 5 DCC supports various braking modes, such as the Märklin® braking distance format, ZIMO® HLU/ZACK commands and the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DC voltage or DCC brake modules is also possible. The integrated ABC automatic shuttle train system allows automatic shuttle train control between two stations, making the LokPilot 5 DCC the ideal choice for complex model railroad layouts.
Although the LokPilot 5 DCC is primarily designed for digital DCC operation, it also supports operation on analog DC systems. The decoder automatically recognizes the operating mode and switches between the modes without manual intervention, making operation particularly user-friendly. The maximum speed for analog operation can be configured separately to ensure optimum control on mixed layouts.
The LokPilot 5 DCC offers up to 10 amplified function outputs, each with a load capacity of 250 mA, which can be used for lighting and special functions. This version with 21MTC MKL interface also has additional logic level outputs that open up further control options. The brightness of the outputs can be individually adjusted so that lighting effects can be precisely matched to the requirements of the system.
For quiet and motor-friendly operation, the LokPilot 5 DCC offers a variable PWM clock frequency of 10 kHz to 50 kHz, which is particularly ideal for bell-type armature motors. The autotune function enables automatic adaptation of the decoder to the motor, resulting in optimum driving performance. The decoder is also equipped with overload protection for motor and function outputs to ensure a long service life and safety in operation.
The LokPilot 5 DCC is ideal for model railroaders looking for a powerful and flexible control solution for DCC layouts. The 21MTC MKL interface and the versatile brake and light control functions make it the perfect choice for H0 and 0 scale locomotives that require maximum precision and reliability.
The ESU 59659 LokPilot 5 DCC offers an excellent combination of compactness, performance and flexibility for DCC operation in H0 and 0 scale. With RailCom®, flexible braking functions and the 21MTC MKL interface, this decoder is a powerful solution for anyone looking for precise and robust control on digital model railway layouts.
