ESU 58941 - LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA widebody "empty decoder", retail, with speaker 11x15mm, track width: N

Technical details

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody was specially developed for installation in N gauge vehicles with a wide cab unit design from the Kato USA brand: in most diesel locomotives from this manufacturer based on the American model Decoder can be installed instead of the standard analogue board. Finally, these models can also be easily retrofitted with a LokSound decoder.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody with its dimensions of 47.5mm x 14.0mm x 4.5mm is a pure DCC decoder and comes with an 11x15 mm “Sugarcube” loudspeaker delivered.

Operating modes

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 log on to a suitable digital control center fully automatically.
It 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 the CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody Decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK 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 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody can be used on analogue DC railways.
The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically “on-the-fly”. around. Most of the time nothing needs to be set.

Sound

The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 exact simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles.

Functions

Despite its compact dimensions, the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody has an enormous number of function outputs fitted. Two included, wired LEDs can be adjusted in length and soldered in directly and switched separately. In addition, eight (!) additional amplified function outputs are available. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.

Motor control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody has a variably adjustable PWM clock frequency of 10kHz to 50kHz, which is just at Bell armature motors ensure super quiet operation - the 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. The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor current.

Operational reliability

On request, a PowerPack can be installed on the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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.
