ESU 58210 - LokSound 5 Fx DCC/MM/SX/M4 "Empty decoder", 8-pin NEM652, retail, with speaker 11x15mm, track width: 0, H0

Technical details

The LokSound 5 Fx is a special feature within the LokSound family: It does not have a motor output and is specifically intended for use in control cars or power cars that require a sound but do not have a model drive themselves . By omitting the motor part, it can still offer all the sound features of the other LokSound 5 members in a size of only 21.5mm x 15.5mm.
LokSound 5 Fx decoders are available with an 8-pin interface according to NEM652 or a 21MTC Interface offered and always come with an 11 x 15 mm “sugar cube” speaker along with a sound capsule kit.

Operating modes

Like all family members, the LokSound 5 Fx is a real multi-protocol -Decoder. It supports the DCC data format as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In the DCC format, 14 to 128 speed levels are as standard as 2 and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. With the help of RailComPlus® technology, the decoders log on to a suitable digital control center fully automatically.
It controls all DCC programming modes and can be driven and programmed with compatible digital control centers: Thanks to RailCom®, the CV can be read out with suitable control centers -Values possible on the main track. There are auxiliary registers for control panels that can only program CVs from 1-255.
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed levels with 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses enable the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode also makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.
The M4 protocol allows automatic registration to mfx®-compatible control panels. The LokSound 5 Fx decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking routes as well as ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. “Braking” with DCC brake modules or with direct voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® braking diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 decoder can be used on analog direct and alternating current trains.
The decoder switches between operating modes fully automatically “on the fly”. Most of the time nothing needs to be set.

Sound

The LokSound 5 Fx decoder can play up to 12 channels at the same time. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and offers HiFi quality on your system. There is practically no audible difference from the original. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power drives the speakers, which can have an impedance of between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. A 128 Mbit sound memory ensures enough capacity.
All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Functions There are also some lights to switch in the control car or power car. We have therefore equipped the LokSound 5 Fx with 6 amplified function outputs. In the version with 21MTC interface, there are 6 additional outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.

Motor control

Although the LokSound 5 Fx itself does not have a motor output, it still “simulates” one. This is used for synchronization with the motor vehicle, where ideally a “full-fledged” LokSound 5 decoder does its job. In the train, this ensures that the brakes squeal at the same time or that the lamps switch the direction of travel at the same time.

Operational safety

If desired, a PowerPack can be attached to the LokSound 5 Fx for bridging Dirty rail sections can be connected.

Protection

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


If you would like to have a sound project installed, please order the desired sound project separately (see "Recommendation tab" or via the configuration)
