With
the LokSound 5 Nano DCC, ESU has succeeded in developing an
even smaller LokSound decoder: With only 19.6 mm x 8.5 mm
x 3.2 mm, it is the smallest LokSound decoder we have ever
built. Thus, it should really be used in all vehicles of nominal
sizes N and TT.
The LokSound
5 Nano DCC decoder is a pure DCC decoder with open
cable ends for free wiring. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC is made
for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure
DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used
on DC layouts. Please note the LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder
does not come with a speaker.
Modes
The LokSound
5 Nano is a "pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving
steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up
to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®,
the decoders register fully automatically at a suitable digital
center.It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to
RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track
with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for
control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound
5 Nano Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances
as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz®
ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or with equal voltage
is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix®
brake diode. An automatic ABC pen train allows automatic commuting
between two stations.
The LokSound
5 Nano can be used on analog DC webs.
The decoder
switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically between
operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.
Sound
The LokSound
5 Nano Decoder can play up to 12 channels simultaneously.
Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bits / 31250 kHz
and offers hi-fi quality on your system. There is virtually
no difference to the original audible anymore. A Class-D audio
output with up to 3W output power controls the speakers, which
may have between 4 ohms and 32 ohms impedance. A 128 Mbit
sound memory provides enough capacity.All individual noises
can be adjusted individually in the volume. The super-flexible
sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the exemplary
simulation of all conceivable rail tracks.
Functions
Despite
its small size, the LokSound 5 Nano has 6 reinforced function
outputs as well as a logic level output as a solder pad. All
important lighting functions are available. The brightness
of each output can be set separately. The decoder controls
the automatic start-up and disconnection when uncoupling for
ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin telex ® couplings.
Motor
The motor
control of the LokSound 5 Nano has a variable PWM clock frequency
from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation,
especially for bell anchor motors – the typical "hum"
is a thing of the past. 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. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC Direct Decoder delivers
up to 0.75A motor power.
Protection
Of course,
the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to
enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
