Technical details

While LokPilot 5 decoders can undoubtedly meet all imaginable requirements of even the most demanding experts, 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 contemporary decoder with a reasonable range of functions at a reasonable price.The LokPilot 5 Basic is supplied in two versions: In addition to a version with an 8-pin NEM interface, a version with a 21MTC interface is also available.
The LokPilot 5 Basic is therefore particularly recommended for use in H0 gauge vehicles.

Operating modes

The LokPilot 5 Basic is a "pure" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed levels are 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 control center.
It can handle all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom®, the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable control centers. There are auxiliary registers for control centers 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 brake modules or with direct current is also possible. The LokPilot 5 Basic decoder can be used on analogue direct current railways. The maximum speed can be set separately.The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on the fly". Usually nothing needs to be set.

Functions

The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 amplified function outputs in every version. The version with 21MTC interface has 8 additional logic level outputs on the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor control

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-armature motors - the previously typical "humming" 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.

Operational safety

If required, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty track sections.

Protection

Of course, all function outputs and the motor output are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
