Whilst LokPilot 5 decoders can undoubtedly meet all imaginable requirements of even the most demanding expert, many model railroaders are looking for a robust, high-quality DCC decoder for their standard requirements that is also affordable.
The LokPilot 5 Basic was developed with the aim of offering a modern decoder with a reasonable range of functions at a reasonable price. The LokPilot 5 Basic is available in two versions: In addition to a version with an 8-pin NEM interface, there is also a version with 21MTC -Interface available.
The LokPilot 5 Basic is therefore particularly recommended for use in H0 gauge vehicles.
The LokPilot 5 Basic is a “pure” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps are just as natural as 2 and 4-digit addresses. Up to 20 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders register fully automatically with a suitable digital command station.
It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with the appropriate central units. Auxiliary registers exist for command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255.
The LokPilot 5 Basic decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC braking modules or with direct current is also possible. The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used on analog DC railways. The maximum speed can be set separately. The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically “on the fly”. Usually nothing has to be adjusted.
Each version of the LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 amplified function outputs. In the version with the 21MTC interface, there are 8 additional logic level outputs on the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.
The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-shaped armature motors – the “hum” that has been typical up to now 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.
If desired, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail sections.
Of course, all function outputs and the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to be able to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible..
