Operational modes The complete range of LokSound V 4.0 decoders recognise the DCC, Selectrix® and Motorola® protocol. It will operate as well in DCC with 14, 28 or 128 speed steps as in analogue DC mode. During operation, the LokSound decoder converses automatically between all four control modes AC, Motorola; DC and DCC, in case you run parts of your layout (e.g. fiddle yard) in analogue mode. You can either use two digit (0-127), or four digit (1-9999) addresses, or assign a consist address. Braking modes It supports Lenz® LG 100, Lenz® ABC, respectively Roco braking-sections as well as braking in DC blocks with reversed polarity. Sound The decoder stores up to 276 seconds of sound data in its 32 MB flash memory. This is transferred to the last stage audio amplifier via eight polyphonic sound channels. The ability of LokSound V 4.0 to reproduce sound, such as load dependant strain (de-selectable), or Doppler Effect, brings you closer to reality again. The channel volume can be adjusted separately. Communication RailComPlus ® Analogue DC operation Load control also works in analogue mode. You can pre-determine starting and top speed. Also the sound-sequences are there. Even model railroaders without a digital system have the chance to enjoy LokSound. Programming All LokSound V 4.0 decoders support all DCC-programming modes. All adjustments are done electronically. Programming configuration variables (CV’s) is very easy for owners of our ECoS Command Station. All variations are displayed in plain language on the large screen and can easily be altered. Built-in future LokSound decoders are firmware-updatable. This means, the internal decoder software can be replaced by new versions, if need be. For this, you only need an ESU LokProgrammer and a PC. LokSound v 4.0 Due to the integration of digital decoder and sound module the LokSound decoder measures only 31x15 x 5.5mm. Its unique thermal design causes no temperature problems. We ship the LokSound V 4.0 decoder with a 4 ohm speaker. Motor management All customary DC or coreless motors regardless whether from Roco®, Fleischmann®, Brawa®, Mehano®, Bemo®, Märklin®, Faulhaber® or Maxon® can be hooked up to the powerful, 1.1 A steady-load last stage of the LokSound V 4.0 decoder. All-current motors can be continued to use if you replace the field winding with a HAMO magnet. The back EMF with 40 kHz High frequency regulation takes care of silky smooth, absolutely quiet motor operation. A 10-bit A/D-converter makes this possible due to 5th generation Dynamic Drive Control (DDC) you can limit the influence of the load control and operate really smoothly around the depot and over turnouts, while on the main, when going uphill, the engine slows down prototypically. Functions The LokSound V 4.0 offers four function outputs with 250 mA continuous-current that can be allocated individually to a function. Besides beacon, strobe and alternate flashing there is firebox flicker, as well as Mars light or Gyra light for US models. All function outputs are individually dimmable in 15 steps. Each function output can be allocated to any function key between F0 and F28 and complies with the latest NMRA DCC directives. Furthermore, the combinatio... read more
