Description

ESU DCC N 59941 LokPilot 5 Micro DCC Motor Control Decoder Kato Wide-Body Diesels

The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is the 'twin' of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody. With its dimensions of 47.5mm x 14.0mm x 4.5mm it has been specially developed for installation in wide body N gauge locomotives of the Kato USA brand: Most diesel locomotives of this manufacturer come with only a common DC lighting board. Finally, these models can also be easily retrofitted with a LokPilot 5 Decoder.

Modes
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 compact dimensions, the LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is equipped with an enormous number of function outputs. Two DIP LED, included in the box, can be adjusted in length and soldered in directly and controlled separately. In addition, eight more powered function outputs are available. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor
The motor control of the LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody has a variable PWM pulse frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially for coreless motors – the typical 'hum' is a thing of the past. Load control can be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique 'Auto Tune' function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 as possible.

 **Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.
