The LokPilot micro V3.0 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®.
Operational modes
The LokPilot micro V3.0 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.
Motor Management
The 0.75 continuous-load output handles conventional DC-or ironless core motors (Faulhaber, Maxon ). The 32 kHz High frequency load control (back EMF) assures silky smooth, super silent motor operation, and lets your engines crawl extra slowly on the layout. With Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) you may limit the influence of load control and operate real smoothly in the depot area and over turnouts, while on the (fast) main, when going uphill, the engine slows down prototypically.
Analog Mode
With LokPilot micro V3.0 in analog mode, you can adjust not only start-and high speed (Vstart, Vmax) of your loco, and determine which of the functions should be active: Even load regulation is activated!
Functions
Individually programmable acceleration and deceleration (both de-selectable), and selectable switching speed is taken for granted with LokPilot micro V3.0. For lighting, its two function outputs can handle 140 mA’s each, be dimmed separately for brightness, and allocated to functions, such as dimmer, firebox flicker, Gyra-and Mars light, strobe-and double strobe, flash-and alternate flash (or ditch lights). Available are also time limited functions, e.g. for decoupling. (Telex or other). Live comes to your layout! The special ESU function mapping allows you to allot each function freely to keys F0 – F12, even multiple assignments are possible.
Programming
The LokPilot micro V3.0 supports all DCC programming modes, including POM(Programming on the main). Programming parameters is especially comfortable and simple for owners of the Märklin® stations 6020® and 6021®, mobile station® and central® station®.
Accident prevention
The LokPilot micro V3.0 memorizes the loco’s last speed, if desired. After an interruption it starts up again as quickly as possible.
Protection
All function outputs and the motor terminal are overload - and short circuit protected.
Built in future
The LokPilot micro V3.0 decoder is firmware upgradeable and new functions can be played on.
