The LokSound 5 micro
DCC Direct Kato USA has been specially developed for installation in
track N vehicles of the Kato USA brand: Most diesel locomotives of this
manufacturer are installed in the American model of these decoders
instead of the analog board installed as standard. Finally, these models
can also be easily retrofitted with a LokSound decoder.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA with its
dimensions of 60.0mm x 10.1mm is a pure DCC decoder and comes without a
loudspeaker.
Modes
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA is a
"pure-bred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as
2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to
RailComPlus®, the decoders log in fully to a suitable digital center.It
masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values
can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels.
Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the
CVs from 1-255.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Decoder
detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK
commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or dc
voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix®
brake diode. An AUTOMATIC ABC commuter train allows automatic commuting
between two stations.
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA can be used
on analog DC webs.The decoder switches "on-the-fly" fully automatically
between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be
adjusted.
Sound
The LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA Decoder can
play up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved
with up to 16 bits / 31250 kHz and offers hi-fi quality on its system.
There is virtually no difference to the original audible anymore. A
Class-D audio output with up to 3W output power controls the speakers,
which can have between 4 ohms and 32 ohms impedance. A 128 Mbit sound
memory provides enough capacity.
All individual noises can be adjusted individually
in the volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule
allows the exemplary simulation of all conceivable rail tracks.
Functions
Despite its compact dimensions, the LokSound 5 micro
DCC Direct Kato USA is equipped with an enormen number of function
outputs. Two directly soldered SMD LEDs are designed for front and rear
front and rear head lighting. For older models, two wired LEDs can
alternatively be soldered and switched separately. Three further
reinforced function outputs are also available. All important lighting
functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set
separately.
Motor
The motor control of the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct
Kato USA has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which
ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the
typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can be adapted to
difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function
allows the decoder to be automatically measured against the motor. The
LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA decoder delivers up to 0.9A motor
power.
Operational reliability
A PowerPack can be connected to the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Kato USA on request 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.
