ESU 58923 LokSound 5 Nano DCC

With the LokSound 5 Nano DCC, ESU has succeeded in developing another significantly smaller LokSound decoder: With only 19.6 mm x 8.5 mm x 3.2 mm it is the smallest LokSound decoder we have ever built. Thus, it should really find its use in all vehicles of the nominal sizes N and TT. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder is a pure DCC decoder with open cable ends for free wiring and comes with a 11 x 15 mm "sugar cube" loudspeaker together with a sound capsule kit.

Operating modes
The LokSound 5 Nano is a "thoroughbred" DCC decoder. 14 to 128 speed steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to Rail-ComPlus®, the decoder registers fully automatically with a suitable digital command station.

It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values on the main track can be read out with suitable command stations. For command stations that can only program CVs from 1-255 there are auxiliary registers.

The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder recognises Märklin® braking tracks as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage is also possible. Furthermore, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC shuttle train automatic allows automatic shuttling between two stations. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC can be used on analogue DC railways.

The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". Mostly nothing has to be set.SoundThe LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder can play back up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and offers HiFi quality on your layout. There is practically no audible difference to the original. A Class-D audio amplifier with up to 3W output power drives the speakers, which may have an impedance of between 4 and 32 ohms. A 128 Mbit sound memory provides sufficient capacity. All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the prototypically accurate simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles.

Functions
Despite its small size, the LokSound 5 Nano DCC has 6 amplified function outputs as well as a logic level output as solder pad. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately. The decoder masters automatic engagement and disengagement during uncoupling for ROCO®, Krois® and Märklin Telex® couplers.Motor controlThe motor control of the LokSound 5 Nano DCC features a variably adjustable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation especially with bell armature motors - the typical "hum" is a thing of the past. The load control can also be adapted to difficult cases with up to 10 CVs. The unique "Autotune" function allows automatic tuning of the decoder to the motor. The LokSound 5 Nano DCC decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor current.

Operational safety
If desired, a PowerPack can be connected to the LokSound 5 Nano DCC to bridge dirty track sections.

Protection
Of course, the outputs are protected against overload. We want you to enjoy your decoder for as long as possible.
