General Properties of all Decoders

5.2. Members of the LokPilot Family

All LokPilot V4.0 decoders have been completely redeveloped on
the basis of their predecessors´ excellent properties and they are
"better" in many respects.
All decoders of the LokPilot V4.0 family expand the capabilities
of their forerunners by further functions. These developments
further improve the driving characteristics, the operational reli-
ability and the flexibility of the decoders. The LokPilot decoder is
the first choice for any sophisticated model train enthusiast that
places great value on excellent load control, outstanding driving
characteristics at low speed, and the utmost flexibility due to ad-
aptation to specific requirements. LokPilot decoders automatically
detect the operating mode and are suitable for all commonly used
motors.
LokPilot decoders of the fourth generation offer you flexibility and
reliability that you would expect from a state-of-the-art decoder.
Future standards do not represent a problem either: due to the
flash technology, you can update the decoder at any time.
In order to suit the different scales and the related current draw of
the model locomotives, all LokPilot V4.0 decoders come in various
options that we now would like to introduce to you.

5.2.1. LokPilot V4.0

The LokPilot V4.0 is a multi-protocol decoder. It supports the Mär-
klin® Motorola® format, the DCC-format and Selectrix®.
It can also work on analogue DC or AC layouts. Thus, it is ideally
suitable for mixed Motorola® / DCC environments.
Due to its manifold lighting functions and its adaptability to dif-
ferent applications, it is the perfect all-rounder for your H0 loco-
motives.

5.2.2. LokPilot V4.0 DCC

The LokPilot V4.0 DCC is a „thoroughbred" DCC decoder. Except
for the Motorola® and Selectrix® protocol, it supports all func-
tions of the LokPilot V4.0. In analogue mode, it can only operate
on DC powered layouts.
The LokPilot V4.0 DCC is best suited for the DCC purist who does
not require multi-protocol operation and does not want to pay
for it either.

5.2.3. LokPilot micro V4.0

The LokPilot micro V4.0 is a real multi talent. Besides DCC and Mo-
torola® and Selectrix® and a maximum current draw of 0.75A, it
is ideal for the small scales with little room for decoders.

5.2.4. LokPilot micro V4.0 DCC

The LokPilot micro V4.0 DCC "only" speaks DCC, however, it is
compatible with RailComPlus®. For the rest it equals the LokPilot
micro V4.0 decoder.

5.2.5. LokPilot XL V4.0

The LokPilot XL V4.0 is suitable for the larger gauges such as 0
gauge, G gauge and 1 gauge and has been optimised to operate
with models in these gauges. It supports four data protocols. Be-
sides DCC with RailComPluS®, Motorola® and Selectrix® it also
supports the M4 data format and can automatically report to the
matching Märklin® central units. Due to its 8 function outputs as
well as 4 outputs for RC servos and a powerful motor end stage it
leaves nothing to be desired. Dirty track and their related problems
are a thing of the past due to the integral PowerPack.

5.2.6. LokPilot V4.0 M4

The LokPilot V4.0 M4 is ideal for everyone who does not want to
do without the automatic mfx® registration on a Märklin® central
station. Like the LokPilot V4.0 this decoder supports besides M4
the formats DCC with RailComPlus, Motorola® and Selectrix®
and can be operated on analogue layouts. The LokPilot V4.0 M4
fits into all popular H0 locomotives and can be programmed with
DCC command stations and also with Märklin® central units.
