ESU 54612 LokPilot V4.0 Multiprotocol Decoder MM/DCC/SX ~ 6 Pin Plug

The LokPilot micro V4.0 is a genuine power house. It drives the loco motor with a continuous load capability of 0.75A and has significantly shrunk compared to its forerunner: the smallest member of the LokPilot V4.0 family has now a size of only 10.5mm x 8.1mm x 2.8mm and should thus fit in the smallest N-/TT-gauge locos.

The LokPilot micro V4.0 commands Motorola® and Selectrix® as well as DCC through 14, 28 and 128 speed steps or can be used on analogue DC layouts. You can either use 2- or 3-digit  as well as 4-digit addresses or assign a consist address.

It supports Lenz® LG 100 resp. Roco? braking sections as well as Zimo??s HLU-commands, or the braking in DC braking sections with reversed polarity, or the Marklin® braking section (even for DCC). But also the new Lenz® ABC brake modules with an asymmetrical DCC signal is supported.

Of course, our top-class decoder is able to calculate a constant braking distance to stop your locos correctly in front of the red signal regardless of the speed. LokPilot V4.0 decoders can also be used for analogue DC or AC layouts.

Functions

• The LokPilot decoder has four function outputs supplying a maximum continuous current of 100 mA each, provided the total current including the motor output does not exceed 1 A.
• Lighting functions (e.g.: blinking lights mars light, flash) are available and can be adjusted just like the brightness for each individual output.
• Shunting mode allows you to finely tune the movement of your locomotive in the yard area as well as the option to turn off the acceleration and deceleration with a function button.
• The decoder features simplified function mapping quite similar to the “Function Mapping” as per the NMRA standard, which allows for easy assignment of the function outputs to any function button (F0 through F20)

Operating Modes

• Thanks to RailComPlus® the decoder automatically registers with suitable digital command stations (e.g.: ECoS).
• It supports all DCC programming modes and can be controlled and programmed by all DCC compatible digital command stations:
• Using RailCom®, reading out CV values is possible on the main.
• The LokPilot decoder is also suitable for analogue DC operation.

Motor Control

• The Motor Output of the LokPilot decoder supplies up to 500mA continuous current and can handle all commonly used DC and coreless motors: ROCO®, Fleischmann®, Tillig®, Piko®, Brawa®, Bemo®, Faulhaber® or Maxon®.
• Load control with 20 kHz PWM frequency assure silent running and also allows your locomotives to move at a crawl.
• Load control can be adjusted by means of three CVs to the motor in your model.

RailComPlus®

• With RailComPlus® the decoder automatically registers with all suitable command stations and, if necessary, receives a new address. Forget cumbersome data entry and programming!

Designed with future developments in mind

• The LokPilot can be updated with new firmware using the ESU LokProgrammer.
