Functions

The LokPilot 5 Basic 8 Pin has 4 reinforced function outputs. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor

The motor control of the LokPilot 5 Basic delivers up to 0.9A continuous current. A variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz 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.

Operational reliability

An optional PowerPack can additionally be connected to the LokPilot 5 Basic to bridge dirty rail cuts.
