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 (5.3 mm with single wires), 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 or an E24-interface. 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.
