ESU 58741 - LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA "empty decoder", Retail, Gauge: N

Technical details

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA was specially developed for installation in N gauge vehicles of the Kato USA brand: In most diesel locomotives of this manufacturer based on the American model, this decoder can be installed instead of the standard analog board. Finally, these models can also be easily retrofitted with a LokSound decoder.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA with its dimensions of 60.0mm x 10.1mm is a pure DCC decoder and is supplied without a loudspeaker.

Operating modes

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA is a "pure" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed levels are as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 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 LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA 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 direct current is also possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC shuttle train automation enables automatic shuttle travel between two stations. The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA can be used on analogue direct current railways.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on the fly". Usually nothing needs to be set.

Sound

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA decoder can play back up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and offers HiFi quality on your system. There is practically no difference to the original that can be heard. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power controls the loudspeakers, which can have an impedance between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. A 128 Mbit sound memory ensures sufficient capacity.
The volume of all individual sounds can be individually adjusted. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles.

Functions

Despite its compact dimensions, the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA is equipped with an enormous number of function outputs. Two directly soldered SMD LEDs are provided for the headlights at the front and rear. For older models, two wired LEDs can be soldered in and switched separately. In addition, three further amplified function outputs are available. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA has a variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially with bell-armature motors - the typical "humming" is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "autotune" function enables the decoder to be automatically calibrated to the motor. The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor current.

Operational safety

If required, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA to bridge dirty track sections.

Protection

The outputs are of course 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)
