The decoder supports addresses 1 – 80, and stops correctly on the Märklin® braking section. In combination with a mfx® station, it shows off all the M4 advantages.
Motor management-The last stage output runs DC or coreless motors. Load control (back EMF) with 32 kHz High frequency regulation takes care of silky smooth, absolutely silent motor operation, and lets your engines crawl super-slowly on the layout.-Sound-The LokSound V3.0 M4 decoder can replay all loco typical sounds. It can record up to 130 seconds of sound in its 16 MBit flash-chip. Besides load-dependant operational sound it can reproduce air – or water pumps, switching noise, brake squeal or other sound sequences. These are transferred via four polyphonic channels to the last stage audio amplifier.-
Analog operation-The LokSound V3.0 M4 also works (without sound) on analog AC layouts. Even starter – and top speed can be controlled. At last you can slow down your old highspeed locos.-
Functions-The LokSound V3.0 M4 decoder sports four function outputs, which can be allocated individually to a function and are dimmable in 15 steps. Besides beacon, strobe and alternate flashing, there is simulated firebox flicker as well as Mars light or Gyra light. -Programming-All parameters of the LokSound V3.0 M4 decoder can be modified comfortably with the systems’s stations, right during operation. The built-in genuine duplex communication between systems’s central unit and decoder makes this possible. For owners of 6020®,- 6021® – or delta® stations, the LokSound V3.0 M4 decoder utilises the time-proven, simple programming procedure.-Safeguard-All function outputs and the motor connection are overload- and short circuit protected.-
Built-in future-LokSound V3.0 M4 decoders are firmware updatable: The interne decoder software can be replaced.-Variety of sound-ESU offers the LokSound V3.0 M4 decoder in many different variations for your preferred prototype. All parameters are factory pre-adjusted (default), so that the screen of your mfx®-station not only displays the correct loco type, but also the function-status symbol.

To simplify conversion of your Delta-Locos as much as possible, the LokPilot Digital Set is available: It contains a LokPilot V4.0 decoder 54610, an appropriate permanent magnet and 2 choke coils. You do not need to buy every single item: benefit from the price advantage of the whole set.

Conversion is simple - you can easily do it yourself: Here we show you how it works.

Many model railroaders would like to exchange their old interface for the modern 21MTC version when converting their aged Märklin® locomotives and look for a simple and affordable opportunity to do so.

For this application, we offer our new digital conversion sets. Besides a LokPilot V4.0 (52614) multi-protocol digital decoder with 21MTC interface, the set includes one of three appropriate permanent magnets, two choke coils as well as the appropriate adapter board 51968. The adapter board 51968 simulates the well-known Delta® bzw. 6090x decoders in shape and size and in most cases, can be plugged directly into the specified holding.

Another advantage of the interface is that a subsequent decoder change can be carried out without soldering. The model railroader also benefits from the price advantage of buying the whole set.

You want to listen to the sound spectrum of your favourite loco, or the special sound of that loco around the corner in the yard – on your model railroad? No problem with ESU’s LokProgrammer! One prerequisite: A PC with sound card and Windows. Simply record the original sound of your engine and edit it at home with your computer. Many customers did this already successfully. Even if you don’t yet belong to this elite group of LokSound Pro’s, the LokProgrammer is still a very useful tool for you. It is the easiest way to program your ESU-decoder. You need no programming experience, thanks to the graphic screen everything falls into place with a few mouse clicks.Change the sound safed on the decoder. Setting of all digital parameters of the Loksound decoder such as address of the loco, operation speed, maximum speed, braking deceleration, brightness of bulbs etc; you can set all options with your computer very easily - no cumbersome entering of CVs (configuration variables) with your command station. Rearrange your sounds and transfer it to the LokSound decoder. You can use all sounds that can be downloaded to your computer hard disk. Sound can be allocated to different events. Additional sounds can be activated via function buttons.

With the LokProgrammer you can erase the sound data of any LokSound decoder as many times as you wish, and replace it with a different sound. To this end we offer on our homepage more than 200 different, fully matching sounds of various prototypes and locos for downloadingon your computer. Also you can edit just parts of a sound project: You don’t like the decoder’swhistle? Just replace it with one of the many others. Suitable sources beside those offered by us, are in Windows *.wav format available. Sound – even voice or music is no problem for our decoders. With the LokProgrammer’s aid you use the entire flexibility and functionality offered by LokSound decoders.
Programming

By the same token, all other ESU decoders profit from the LokProgrammer’s versatility; no matter if DCC, Multiprotocol - or mfx decoder. With its help it’s possible to edit all parameters of the particular decoder simply and conveniently. The available options depend on the kind of decoder. Beside addresses and acceleration - and deceleration settings, this concerns above all the allotment of function keys (function mapping), the allocation of special effects to the individual outputs, or the lamp brightness. The LokProgrammer can also help when optimizing back EMF parameters or the loadable speed table. All options can be programmed very conveniently: There is no tedious punching-in of CV-numbers at the digital station anymore.

It’s this simple: The LokProgrammer is a small programming box, which is wired between the PC and a programming track. To connect it you need either a vacant serial interface, or you use the included USBadapter cable (works with Windows 2000 or Windows XP). For power we include a 500 mA wall power supply. If your needs are greater (e.g. for gauge I engines), you can also use a conventional model railroad transformer.

After hook-up you start up the especially user-friendly LokProgrammer software, which is included on CDROM. This runs on all modern Windows-systems from Windows 98. Just put the loco with the ESU decoder on your programming track, and right away you can read, edit or program it. The Programmer automatically recognizes the decoder in the engine.

The LokProgrammer is recommended not only for the use with our ESU decoders: By now, many well known model railroad manufacturers factory-furnish their locos with ESU-decoders, which of course can be modified again within the frame work of their technical specifications – with the help of the LokProgrammer. You see, purchasing a LokProgrammer pays off in any case.

The LokProgrammer can also be instrumental in updating decoders. Almost all ESU decoders are updatable, in case you desire a new software version. To do this, you only need the LokProgrammer and a small update-program, which you can DOWNLOAD

LokProgrammer software is being reviewed continuously. The latest, pertinent version can always be downloaded from our homepage, or can be installed automatically, through an internet-update function, on your computer.
