The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is the
“twin” of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody.
With its dimensions of 47.5mm x 14.0mm x 4.5mm it has been
specially developed for installation in wide body N gauge
locomotives of the Kato USA brand: Most diesel locomotives
of this manufacturer come with only a common DC lighting board.
Finally, these models can also be easily retrofitted with
a LokPilot 5 Decoder.
Modes:
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody is a "pure-bred"
DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps 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 DCC
System fully automatically.
It masters all DCC programming command stations. Auxiliary
registers exist for DCC systems that can only program CVs
from 1-255.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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 DC voltage is also
possible. It also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode.
An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting
between two stations.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody decoder
can be used on analog DC trains. The maximum speed can be
set separately. The decoder switches between the operating
modes fully automatically "on-the-fly".
Functions:
Despite its compact dimensions, the LokPilot 5 micro DCC
Direct Kato USA Widebody is equipped with an enormous number
of function outputs. Two DIP LEDs (included in the box) can
be adjusted in length and soldered in directly and controlled
separately. In addition, eight (!) more powered function outputs
are available. All important lighting functions are available.
The brightness of each output can be set separately.
Motor:
The motor control of the LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Kato
USA Widebody has a variable PWM pulse frequency from 10kHz
to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially
for coreless motors – the typical "hum" is a thing
of the past. Load control can be adjusted with up to 10 separate
CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The
unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration
of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokPilot
5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Widebody 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.
