The LokSound 5 L is intended for use in all applications where the power required exceeds the limits of the LokSound 5. Ideally, this includes O scale vehicles and also smaller 1 scale locomotives. Despite its compact dimensions of only 50.8 mm x 25.4 mm x 14 mm, it is equipped with a dual speaker output and an integrated PowerPack.

The LokSound 5 is equipped with a multi-pin connector and comes with an adapter board with solder pads.

Operating modes

Like all products in the LokSound family, the LokSound 5 L is a true multi-protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola®, Selectrix®, and M4. Naturally, it supports 14 to 128 speed steps, as well as 2- and 4-digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders register automatically with the appropriate control stations.

This decoder supports all DCC programming modes, and thanks to RailCom®, you can read CV values on the main network, provided you have a RailCom®-compatible control station. Utility registers are available for control stations that facilitate programming CVs from 1 to 255.

Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps and 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate triggering 16 functions. A built-in programming mode even allows programming with the good old Control Unit 6021.

The M4 protocol supports automatic recording on mfx® compatible central processing units.

The LokSound 5 L decoder supports Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU braking controls or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC or DC brake generators is also possible. Furthermore, a locomotive equipped with a LokSound 5 L will stop when a Selectrix® brake diode is connected to the circuit. The ABC push-pull function enables automatic shuttle operation between two stations.

The LokSound 5 L decoder is also suitable for analog DC and AC networks.

Her

The LokSound 5 L decoder can play back up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 bits/31250 kHz, finally delivering hi-fi sound quality on your network. In practice, no difference from the original recording is discernible. A dual Class D audio power amplifier with an output of up to 2 x 3 W drives speakers with an impedance range of 4 to 32 ohms. The massive 128 MBit sound memory provides ample storage capacity.

The volume of each individual sound fragment can be adjusted separately. The highly flexible sound engine, without a rigid flowchart, facilitates prototype simulation of virtually any conceivable railway vehicle. Three independently adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios give you maximum control over your vehicles.

The functions

Each LokSound 5 L decoder features 11 amplified function outputs. In addition, there are 6 further logic outputs, which can optionally control two RC servos or SUSI expansion modules. Naturally, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output can be adjusted independently. The decoder supports automatic push and pull movements—known as coupler waltz—necessary for the reliable operation of digital couplers such as those from ROCO® and Krois®, as well as Telex® couplers. Four sensor inputs can be used to trigger functions.

Engine control

The motor control of the LokSound 5 L has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency from 10 kHz to 50 kHz ensures perfectly silent operation, especially for coreless motors. The typical hum is now a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs, handling even the most demanding applications. The unique "Auto Tune" function simplifies automatic decoder calibration for perfect motor matching. The LokSound 5 L decoder provides ample current for the motor, up to 3.0 A.
