The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy has been specially developed for installation in N gauge locomotives of the Atlas and InterMountain brands: it can be inserted directly instead of the analog board installed there as standard. However, the decoder can also be used for similar models from other manufacturers at your own discretion.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy is also a “direct style" decoder developed for early (before 2016) Atlas, InterMountain (and others). The decoder was made for locos produced before sound was added during production.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy is the twin to the LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy and shares the same dimensions of 66.0mm x 8.2mm.

Modes

The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy is a “pure-bred” DCC decoder. 14 to 128 driving steps are as self-evident as 2- and 4-digit addresses. Up to 32 functions can be triggered. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoder logs in fully automatically to a suitable digital center such as the ESU CabControl and ECoS. It masters all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® the CV values can be read out on the main track with suitable control panels. Auxiliary registers exist for control panels that can only program the CVs from 1-255.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy Decoder detects the Märklin® brake distances as well as ZIMO® HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or DC voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix® brake diode. An AUTOMATIC ABC commuter train allows automatic commuting between two stations.
The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy decoder can be used on analog DC layouts.
The decoder switches “on-the-fly” fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.  

Functions

The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy decoder has two directly soldered LEDs, one on top (front) and one on bottom (rear). Resistor protected solder pads are provided on the bottom of the decoder, one at each end, for adding a front and rear headlight LED. Two additional pads (non-resistor protected) are for further lighting. All important lighting functions are available. The brightness of each output can be set separately.

Motor Control

The motor control of the LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy decoder has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the hitherto 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. The LokPilot 5 micro DCC Direct Atlas Legacy decoder delivers up to 0.9A motor power.

Protection

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