ESU 58515 - LokSound 5 XL DCC/MM/SX/M4 "empty decoder", pin headers, retail, gauge G, I

Technical details

The LokSound 5 XL decoder is a really big chunk. It has to be, because it is intended for use in garden railway or Gauge 1 locomotives. Its integrated, performance-adapted PowerPack ensures safe operation even on dirty rails.
The LokSound 5 XL measures 51mm x 40 mm and is supplied by us in two versions: In addition to a version with robust screw terminals for subsequent installation in older ones There is a version with pin headers. This decoder fits all locomotives in which an older LokSound XL decoder was installed.

Operating modes

Like all family members, the LokSound 5 XL is also 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. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log on to a suitable digital control center fully automatically. The LGB® chain control can trigger the function keys correctly with older LGB® controls.
The decoder controls 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 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 centers.
The LokSound 5 XL decoder also recognizes the Märklin® braking distances ZIMO® HLU brake 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® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokSound 5 XL decoder can be used on analog direct and alternating current trains.

Sound

The LokSound 5 XL Decoder can play up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and finally offers HiFi quality on your system. There is practically no audible difference from the original. A double Class-D audio power amplifier with up to two times 6W output power drives the speakers, which can have an impedance of between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. The volume can be controlled separately with two optional potentiometers. The huge 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 exact simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios give you maximum control over your vehicles.

Functions

Each LokSound 5 XL decoder is equipped with 12 amplified function outputs. There are also 7 additional logic level outputs, which can also control (4 pieces) RC servos and SUSI expansion modules if desired. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder controls automatic pressing and releasing when uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Telex® couplings. 3 sensor inputs can trigger functions if desired.

Motor control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 XL has once again been fundamentally improved. A variably adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-armature motors - the typical “humming” is a thing of the past. The load control can now be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique “Autotune” function enables the decoder to be automatically calibrated to the motor. With up to 5.0A (continuous current: 4.0A) motor current, the LokSound 5 XL decoder delivers enough juice for PIKO® G-gauge locomotives as well as two-engine locomotives with Bühler® or Mabuchi® motors.
