ESULokPilotThe new LokPilot digital decoder by ESU is the world's smallest multi protocol decoder.

The LokPilot combines the directional relays of an AC locomotive and a quality digital decoder suitable for Motorola-format and DCC-format (multi protocol). No matter if you operate on a digital layout with NMRA / DCC or Märklin Motorola or analogue with DC or AC, the decoder understands every language and works reliably.

Fitted with overload protection for the motor as well as the function outputs, the decoder is extremely robust. High frequency motor control assures smooth and silent running.

The performance in DC analogue operation convinces the discerning modeler. Analogue operation has also been optimized: the decoder reliably recognizes the change of direction pulse across a large voltage range. Third generation load control provides excellent low speed properties.

The most important function of a Digital decoder ismotor management. Therefore, all LokPilot decoders are universally usable and can be employed with all customary DC model railroad motors, such as Roco®, Fleischmann®, Brawa®, Mehano®, Bemo®, LGB®, Hübner®, Märklin® or others.

Even coreless motors (e.g. Faulhaber® or Maxon®) can be connected. You can keep using all-current motors, if you replace the field winding with a permanent magnet.

51900 The Decoder-Tester (Profi-Pruefstand) is a welcome addition to your digital layouts. Equipped with all digital sockets (6-, 8- and 21- pin) with NEM 651 and NEM 652 interfaces, an LED monitor and loudspeaker, it allows you to test your decoders quickly and easily without having to install them first in your locomotives.

52690 The LokPilot Basic supports the worldwide recognized DCC protocol. In this mode it can be utilized with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps, or on Analog DC layouts.

It supports Lenz® LG 100 resp. Roco® braking sections as well as braking in DC sections with reverse polarity.You can use addresses 1 - 119. During operation, the LokPilot Basic decoder converses fully automatically between operational modes (DC, DCC). That's important in case you run parts of your layout (fiddle yard) in analog mode.

ESU 52690. LokPilot Basic. With wire harness 88mm and 8-pin DCC plug (NEM652)(HO gauge - for DCC). $52.50

52610The LokPilot V3.0 The LokPilot V3.0 commands DCC through 14, 28 and 128 speed steps, as well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. The decoder recognizes the speed-step numbers automatically. 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 Märklin® braking section (even for DCC).

You can either use two digit (1 - 127), or four digit (1 - 9999) addresses or assign a consist address. The Motorola® protocol enables the LokPilot V3.0 decoder to run with Märklin® stations 6020, 6021, Delta®, Mobile Station® and Central Station®. The decoders can command addresses 1 - 255, and come to a stop correctly on the Märklin® braking section. With Selectrix® layouts you have the choice of up to 122 addresses. The LokPilot V3.0 converts during operation fully automatically between all control modes (Motorola®, DCC, DC, AC and Selectrix®).

RailCom® already ensures that the decoder will be recognized by the main track and can send its address. Connected with an ECoS command station and an ECoSDetector feedback module unprecedented possibilities of playing will be possible..

61600 The LokPilot V.3 M4 The LokPilot V3.0 M4 was developed from scratch especially for Märklin® systems. It reflects years of experience, gathered by ESU during the engineering of digital decoders.

The LokPilot V3.0 M4 is a genuine multi-protocol decoder. Besides its main field of application in combination with mfx® stations, it handles Motorola® command stations (e.g. Märklin® 6021) as well as conventional AC driven layouts. The LokPilot V3.0 M4 recognizes the operational mode fully automatically and converts on the fly.

52684 LokPilot micro V.3 DCC The LokPilot micro V3.0 DCC handles DCC with 14, 28 and 128 speed steps. The decoder recognizes the speed steps automatically. It supports Lenz LG 100, respectively ROCO braking sections, as well as Zimo HLU-commands, or braking in DC-sections with reversed polarity. You can either use short (1 - 127), or four digit addresses, or assign a consist address.

During operation it converses fully automatically between control modes. It is prepared for the NMRA / DCC "BiDirectional Communication", and a simple upgrade will enable it to take advantage of those benefits. Especially in combination with our ECoScenter, there will be up to now, unheard-of operational possibilities, and play value in the future.

DCC is available in two variants: With either a separate NEM 651 Norm 6 wire harness-plug combo, or with 6, permanently to the decoder fastened connecting pins.

52687 The LokPilot micro V.3 is a genuine power house. With its continuous load capability of 0.75 A and a size of only 13.5mm x 9.0mm x 3.5 mm ( .54 x .36 x .12 inch ) it is perfectly suited for N Scale -, or small HO Locos with limited room and high current drain.

Despite many other decoders released on the market it is a real multi-protocol decoder, that speaks beside DCC also Motorola® and even Selectrix®.

Handles DCC with 14, 28 and 128 speed steps as well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. The decoder recognizes the speed steps automatically. It supports Lenz® LG 100, respectively ROCO® braking sections, as well as braking in DC-sections with reversed polarity or the Märklin® braking section (also DC). You can either use short (1 - 127), - or four digit addresses, or assign a consist address. The Motorola® protocol enables the decoder to be used with Märklin® stations 6020®, 6021®, delta®, mobile station® and central station®. The LokPilot mirco V3.0 reads the addresses 01-127 and will stopp correctly on the Märklin® braking section. If used on a Selectrix® layout you can chose between address 1-112. It changes the operation mode automatically (Motorola®, Selectrix®, DC and DCC) during operation.
