The LokPilot 5 Basic is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. Fourteen and 128 speed steps with Primary and Extended addresses. Up to 20 functions. With RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully automatically to a suitable digital center.

It masters all DCC programming modes. Wtih RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable DCC Systems. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.

The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder detects Märklin® brake distances and the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc voltage is possible. The maximum speed can be set.

The LokPilot 5 Basic Decoder can be used on analog DC layouts. The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between modes.

Functions

The LokPilot 5 Basic has 4 reinforced function outputs in each version. In the 21MTC interface, there are 8 logic-level outputs at the interface, two of which are also suitable for controlling servos. ... The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor

Motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variable frequency PWM from 10kHz to 50kHz ensures super-quiet operation. The load control can be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs.

The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor.

PowerPack

A PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail.
