The LokSound 5 Fx is a special feature within the LokSound family: It has no motor output and is specially designed for use in control cars or power units that require a sound but do not have a model drive themselves. By omitting the engine part, it can still offer all the sound features of the other LokSound 5 members on a size of only 21.5mm x 15.5mm.

LokSound 5 Fx decoders are offered with an 8-pin interface according to NEM652 or a 21MTC interface and always come with an 11 x 15 mm "sugar cube" loudspeaker and sound capsule kit.

Like

all family members, the LokSound 5 Fx is a true multi-protocol decoder. It masters the DCC data format as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. In the DCC format, 14 to 128 gears are as natural as 2- and 4-digit addresses and up to 32 functions. With the help of RailComPlus® technology, the decoders log on fully automatically to a suitable digital control centre.

It masters all DCC programming modes and can be operated as well as programmed with compatible digital control centres. Thanks to RailCom®, it is possible to read out the CV values on the main track with suitable control panels. For control panels that can only program CVs from 1-255, there are auxiliary registers.

Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 gears at 255 addresses. Three other Motorola® addresses allow the triggering of 16 functions. A built-in programming mode also makes reprogramming possible with the venerable Control Unit 6021.

The M4 protocol allows automatic login to mfx-compatible® control panels. The LokSound 5 Fx decoder recognizes the Märklin® braking sections as well as ZIMO® HLU brake commands or the Lenz® ABC system. "Braking" with DCC brake modules or with DC voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An ABC automatic shuttle train system enables automatic commuting between two stations.

The LokSound 5 decoder can be used on analogue DC and AC trains.

The decoder switches between the operating modes fully automatically "on-the-fly". In most cases, nothing has to be adjusted.

Sound

The LokSound 5 Fx decoder can play back up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bit / 31250 kHz and offers hi-fi quality on your system. There is practically no difference to the original audible. A Class-D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power controls the speakers, which can have an impedance of between 4 ohms and 32 ohms. A 128 Mbit sound memory provides enough capacity.

All individual sounds can be individually adjusted in volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles.FunctionsThere are also some lights to switch in the control car or power unit. Therefore, we have equipped the LokSound 5 Fx with 6 amplified function outputs. In the version with 21MTC interface, there are 6 outputs for controlling servos or logic level Aucorridors. All important lighting functions are present. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.



Although the LokSound 5 Fx does not have a motor output itself, it still "simulates" one. This is used to synchronize with the truck, where ideally a "full-fledged" LokSound 5 decoder does its job. In the train, this ensures that the brake squeal occurs at the same time or that the lamps change the direction of travel at the same time.


If desired, a PowerPack can be connected
to the LokSound 5 Fx to bridge dirty rail sections.
