Analogue mode
LokSound V4.0 decoders can be used on DC as well as on AC layouts. The motor and the synchronisation of all driving-, sound- and light functions will be controlled in analogue mode, too!
So, model railroaders without digital systems can enjoy the LokSounds, despite the sounds on function keys.
Functions
LokSound V4.0 decoders have 4 function outputs with the possibility of using constant current of 250mA. These outputs can be assigned individually. Apart from that, there are two more non-amplified outputs with logic level. You can use those in combination with fitting adaptor PCBs (e.g. ESU 51968) to control more light or special physical functions. All important light functions like Flash, Gyrolight, Mars light, fire box and so
on are provided including the individual adjustment of brightness for each function. Of course, the decoders provide automatic coupling and decoupling for couplers by Roco®, Krois® and Telex® and from now on even a full beaming head light function. The LED mode controls the right light effects when using LEDs.
Safe operation
If desired it is possible to connect a PowerPack (ESU 54670, see page 62) to the LokSound V4.0, as to all other ESU decoders of the 4th generation. This energy storage continues to supply the decoder with energy if the power consumption is not isn´t optimal due to dirty tracks.
RailComPlus®
A very important function of the LokSound V4.0 decoder is the integrated RailComPlus® function. Your locos will be recognised automatically by an appropriate digital command station fast as lightning and will receive, if needed, a new address. Forget about the cumbersome typing and programming!
Protection
Of course, all function outputs and the motor current output are overload protected. We want you to have fun with your decoder as long as possible!
Future built-in
You can update the firmware of the LokSound decoders. This means, the internal software on the decoder‘s memory can be replaced by new versions if necessary. You‘ll simply need the ESU LokProgrammer and a PC.
Sound variations
ESU, as the technologic and market leader takes your requirements for sound very seriously. There are already more than 200 sound variations available for the LokSound V4.0
ESU is extending the sound library all the time and provides all sounds on our homepage for free download.
