LokPilot 5 micro – The Smallest Digital Decoder from ESU
The LokPilot 5 micro is the smallest digital decoder ever produced by ESU. Thanks to the use of subminiature components, 8-layer circuit boards, and state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, it measures just 8.0mm x 7.0mm with a thickness of only 2.4mm (at the capacitor: 2.9mm). This makes it small enough to fit even in the smallest locomotives of Z, N, or TT scales. Despite its compact size, there are no compromises in functionality or robustness compared to larger models.

LokPilot 5 micro decoders are available with all common interfaces. The versions with Next18 or PluX16 interfaces are slightly larger at 13.0mm x 9.2mm, but in return, they support the mfx®-compatible M4 protocol.

Operating Modes
The LokPilot 5 micro is a true multi-protocol decoder, supporting DCC, Motorola®, Selectrix®, and M4.

In DCC mode, it supports 14 to 128 speed steps, 2- and 4-digit addresses, and up to 32 functions.
Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoder registers automatically with a compatible digital command station.
It supports all DCC programming modes, and with RailCom®, CV values can be read on the main track when using compatible command stations. For systems that can only program CVs from 1-255, helper registers are available.
For Motorola® users, the decoder offers:

Up to 28 speed steps and 255 addresses.
Three additional Motorola® addresses, allowing activation of 16 functions.
A built-in programming mode, enabling reprogramming even with the classic Control Unit 6021.
The Next18 and PluX16 versions also support automatic registration with mfx®-compatible command stations via the M4 protocol, allowing access to all 32 function keys.

The LokPilot 5 micro recognizes:

Märklin® braking sections,
ZIMO® HLU/ZACK commands,
The Lenz® ABC system.
Braking with DCC brake modules or DC voltage is also possible. Additionally, it responds to a Selectrix® brake diode. The ABC shuttle train automation enables automatic back-and-forth operation between two stations.

The LokPilot 5 micro can be used on analog DC layouts. The Next18 and PluX16 versions can also be used on analog AC layouts. The maximum speed can be set separately in analog mode.

The decoder automatically switches "on-the-fly" between operating modes, usually requiring no additional configuration.

Functions
We understand that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. That’s why we have equipped the LokPilot 5 micro with an impressive number of function outputs.

6-pin or 8-pin wired versions:
4 amplified function outputs (180 mA per output).
2 logic-level outputs for servos or Susi.
Next18 or PluX16 versions:
6 amplified outputs.
2 logic-level outputs.
All essential lighting functions are included, and the brightness of each output can be adjusted individually.

The decoder also supports automatic coupling and uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois®, and Telex® couplings.

Motor Control
The motor control of the LokPilot 5 micro has been fundamentally improved once again.

A variable PWM frequency adjustable from 10 kHz to 50 kHz ensures whisper-quiet operation, especially for coreless motors, eliminating the typical "buzzing" noise.
The load control can now be fine-tuned using up to 10 CVs, making it suitable for even the most challenging locomotives.
The unique "Autotune" function allows the decoder to automatically calibrate itself to the motor.
The LokPilot 5 micro provides up to 0.75 A motor current, making it powerful enough for its intended applications.
