Loksound ESU LS V5.0 Technical Data |

There has been a lot of reviews about the LokSound decoder. They do their work worldwide in locos and provide a maximum of fun, so we expect you to expect more from us than a simple extension of existing products. When we introduced the LokSound v5.0 decoder, which is the fifth generation after its great grandfather „LokSound Classic“. The new LokSound decoder will convince you once more with its inner values. LokSound v5.0 decoders are offered with all established plugs, either with the 8-pin NEM 652 connector, the 6-pin NEM651 connector and the PluX12 connector or the wireless version with the 21MTC interface (NEM660).
Loksound 21 pin decoders are delivered with 20 x 40mm speakers. Operation modes The LokSound v5.0 recognises DCC, Selectrix® and the Motorola® protocol. It can be operated with 14, 28 or 128 drive steps or on analogue DC layouts in DCC mode.You can assign the decoders to 2-digit, 3-digit (1-127) or 4-digit (1-9999) addresses as well as a consist address. The Motorola®-protocol provides the operation of the LokSound v5.0 decoders with Märklin® control stations 6020®, 6021®, delta®, mobile station® and central station®. The decoders can be used with the addresses 01 – 255 on this mode. A second address provides the possibility to use the function keys F5 to F8.
Of course, our top decoder is able to determine a constant braking distance,
so that your locos stop in front of the red signal, no matter what speed
your loco is at. Motor control You expect an excellent motor control from a LokSound Decoder and deservedly so! LokSound v5.0 is equipped with the further improved 5th generation of load control. You can adjust the control frequency with a basic frequency of 40kHz adaptively. So many motors will run even better and softer. The 10 Bit A/D convertor makes it possible to drive your loco very slow on the tracks. You can determine a limitation of the load control‘s influence with the Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) to control very accurately in station or shunting switch areas. Besides, uphill driving appears very natural with it. The decoder‘s load control is suitable for all common motors, no matter if by ROCO®, Fleischmann®, Brawa®, Mehano®, Bemo®, Märklin®, Faulhaber® or Maxon®. You can also use all-current motors as long as you replace the field winding by a HAMO Magnet. Constant current of 1.1A continuous current are more than enough for
the motors mentioned above and provide enough power even for long trains. The new serial communication protocol provides from now on the operation on Trix®-locos. Sound The most important element of the new LokSound v5.0 decoders is the sound chip. This is why we have equipped the LokSound v5.0 with an enormous memory of 32 MBit to save up to 276 seconds of original sounds. The LokSound v5.0 works with 8 polyphonic channels, i.e. that the decoder is able to play up to 8 different sounds simultaneously, using the 16-Bit mixer and the nearly noiseless D/A convertor. So we can provide a much better monitoring of the original locomotive´s complex elements as it is possible to combine several channels. You‘ll recognise the difference at once. The sounds will be amplified up to three times louder than before by using a new digital „class D“ amplifier. We also changed from the old type of speakers to speakers with an impedance of 4 Ohms. Use our provided stock of new developed speakers. All single sounds of the LokSound v5.0 can be mixed in volume individually on nearly every digital control station. The new super flexible sound engine without static schedule provides a very prototypical simulation of all railroad vehicles. Analogue mode LokSound v5.0 decoders can be used on DC as well as on AC layouts. The motor and the synchronisation of all driving-, sound- and light functions will be controlled in analogue mode, too. So, model railroaders without digital systems can enjoy the LokSounds, despite the sounds on function keys. Functions LokSound v5.0 decoders have 4 function outputs with the possibility of
using constant current of 250mA. These outputs can be assigned individually.
Apart from that, there are two more non-amplified outputs with logic level.
You can use those in combination with fitting adaptor PCBs (e.g. ESU 51968)
to control more light or special physical functions. All important light
functions like Flash, Gyrolight, Mars light, fire box and soon are provided
including the individual adjustment of brightness for each function. Safe operation Also new is the additional connection facility for an external Power Pack (57670). This optionally available energy store is able to energize the motor up to 2 seconds if the power supply is interrupted and makes you finally forget dirty tracks. RailComPlus® A very important function of the LokSound v5.0 decoder is the integrated RailComPlus® function. Your locos will be recognised automatically by an appropriate digital command station fast as lightning and will receive, if needed, a new address. Forget about the cumbersome typing and programming. Protection Of course, all function outputs and the motor current output are overload protected. We want you to have fun with your decoder as long as possible. Future built-in You can update the firmware of the LokSound decoders. This means, the internal software on the decoder‘s memory can be replaced by new versions if necessary. You‘ll simply need the ESU LokProgrammer and a PC. Modes: |
