ESU 58926 – LokSound 5 Nano DCC, 6pin NEM651 interface

LokSound 5 Nano DCC “Empty Decoder”, 6-pin NEM651, Retail, with 11x15mm speaker, Gauge: N, TT, H0.

This new, extremely compact member of the LokSound 5 family has a footprint of 13.0mm x 18.0mm and is only about 4mm thick.

It is supplied with a 6-pin NEM651 wiring harness for special installation situations.

The LokSound 5 Nano DCC has a total of three amplified light outputs and is software-compatible with all other ESU LokSound 5 DCC decoders. Naturally, it also supports RailCom and RailComPlus.

Modes
The LokSound 5 Nano 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 decoders register fully automatically at a suitable digital center.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 LokSound 5 Nano Decoder detects the Märklin brake distances as well as ZIMO HLU / ZACK commands or the Lenz ABC system. Braking with DCC brake blocks or with equal voltage is also possible. In addition, it also stops with a Selectrix brake diode. An automatic ABC pen train allows automatic commuting between two stations.

The LokSound 5 Nano can be used on analog DC webs.

The decoder switches “on-the-fly” fully automatically between operating modes. Most of the time, nothing needs to be adjusted.

Sound
The LokSound 5 Nano Decoder can play up to 12 channels simultaneously. Each channel can be resolved with up to 16 bits / 31250 kHz and offers hi-fi quality on your system. There is virtually no difference to the original audible anymore. A Class-D audio output with up to 3W output power controls the speakers, which may have between 4 ohms and 32 ohms impedance. A 128 Mbit sound memory provides enough capacity.All individual noises can be adjusted individually in the volume. The super-flexible sound engine without a rigid schedule allows the exemplary simulation of all conceivable rail tracks.

Motor
The motor control of the LokSound 5 Nano has a variable PWM clock frequency from 10kHz to 50kHz, which ensures super-quiet operation, especially for bell anchor motors – the 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 LokSound 5 micro DCC Direct Decoder delivers up to 0.75A motor power.
