The LokPilot 5 Fx is a function decoder without a motor output and is therefore perfect for installation in control cars or function models. Because it speaks DCC with RailCom® as well as Motorola® and Selectrix, it can be used with all common digital centers. It shares its flexible function key assignment and the various light effects with the other LokPilot 5 decoders from ESU.
The LokPilot 5 Fx is supplied in three versions: In addition to the "classic" version with an 8-pin NEM 652 cable harness, a version for the 21MTC interface and with a PluX22 interface is also available.
Operating modes
The LokPilot 5 Fx is a multi-protocol decoder. He masters the data format DCC as well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. In DCC format, 14-128 speed steps are as natural as 2 and 4-digit addresses. Up to 28 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders log on to a suitable digital center (e.g. ECoS) fully automatically.
It masters all DCC programming modes and can be driven and programmed with all DCC-compatible digital central units: RailCom® can also read out the CV values ??on the main track with suitable central units. Auxiliary registers exist for central units that can only program CVs from 1-255 (e.g. ROCO® Multimaus).
Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed levels with 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses enable 16 functions to be triggered. A built-in programming mode makes reprogramming possible with the venerable 6021 Control Unit.
The LokPilot 5 Fx decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with direct voltage is also possible. It also “stops” with a Selectrix® braking diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train enables automatic commuting between two train stations. Although this decoder has of course no motor output, this is also important for a function decoder in order to be able to synchronize the control car and the motor car.
The LokPilot 5 FX decoder can be used on analogue direct and alternating current railways. The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". Usually nothing needs to be adjusted.
Features
The LokPilot 5 Fx was equipped with an astonishing number of function outputs. Depending on the interface version, each LokPilot 5 Fx decoder offers at least 10 amplified function outputs with 250mA output current each. In the versions with PluX22 or 21MTC interface there are also 4 outputs for controlling servos or logic level outputs. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.
Teamwork
The LokPilot 5 Fx is designed to interact with the LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders: For example, it is possible to equip the locomotive of a multiple unit with a LokSound 5 decoder and the control car with a LokPilot 5 Fx. Assuming the same address, both behave absolutely identically. The identical arrangement of the CVs makes it easier to coordinate the two decoders.
Operational safety
If required, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokPilot 5 Fx to bridge dirty rail sections.
Protection
Of course, the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.

ESU has existed for over 25 years and is only known to most model railroaders because of its innovative digital technology (decoder and system control), but since 2012 also because of suitable, innovative and realistic implementations of locomotives, passenger cars and freight cars.
The digital center ECoS, LokPilot 5, LokSound 5 and the Nano decoders are the distance horses in the ESU range. Modellbahn Union also cooperates very closely with ESU and has already had exclusive sound models implemented for its own products as well as remaining stock. At the same time, further exclusive models in the rolling area are sought, as well as close cooperation in the implementation of Modellbahn Union's own products.
