This product is not a toy. Not recommended for children under 14 years of age.

WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or

other reproductive harm.

Warnings

• Do not expose to wet and humid conditions and
Avoid mechanical force or pressure on the decoder

• Do not remove the heat shrink sleeve.

• Never solder on the circuit board, extend cables if

necessary.

• Never wrap the decoder in insulation tape, since this
may cause overheating.

• Any wiring has to be carried out while power is dis­connected.

• Make sure that neither the decoder nor any blank
wire ends may come into contact with the engine
chassis (risk of short circuit).

•Never operate the LokPilot unattended. The LokPi­lot is not a (children’s) toy

Requirements for Installation

The locomotive must be in perfect operating condi­tion prior to the conversion: Only a locomotive with
faultless mechanical properties and smooth running
characteristics in analogue mode is worth converting
to digital. Check and replace all wear and tear parts
such as motor brushes, wheel contacts, light bulbs
etc., if necessary.

Installing the Decoder

Locomotives with 8-pin NEM 652 interface

Some LokPilot Standard decoders are supplied with
an 8-pin interface as per NEM 652 (refer to Fig 1).
Remove the dummy plug from the socket and keep
it for later use. Insert the plug of the decoder in such
a way that pin 1 of the plug (this is the side with
the red / orange wires) sits next to the corner of the

socketthatisusuallymarkedwith*,+,•.Makesure

that the pins are straight and do not tilt when inser­ting the plug.

How to connect the decoder:

Insert the decoder with

connector towards top

(e.g. Atlas, Intermoun­tain, Bowser, Märklin®)

Insert the decoder with

connector towards
bottom (e.g. Brawa®)

Locomotives with PluX12 interface

The LokPilot Standard supplied with a PluX12 inter­face (fig. 3) ist designed for locomotives in gauge TT.
Decoders fitted with PluX12 connector also will fit
into locomotives with PluX16 or PluX22 interface.
Consider the correct seating of the decoder: One
position of the multi-pin plug of the decoder has no
pin (index pin). This position should be marked in the
locomotive.

Locomotives without interface

Firstly, please cut all wires installed in the locomotive.
Take special care to remove any connections to the
chassis (ground): the motor leads must be positively
potential-free, in other words they may not have any
contact to the chassis or body or the wheels and
wheel contacts. Figure 4 shows all connections.

Function outputs

You can wire all kind of load to the function outputs.

Please make sure that the load does not exceed
the permitted maximum current and there are no
short circuits. The outputs of the LokPilot have pro­tection but if an external voltage is applied, the
outputs may suffer damage or destruction.

Only install bulbs rated 16V or higher and with a no­minal current draw, that does not exceed 50 mA or
use suitable smoke generators such as Seuthe No.

11. If you like to use LEDs, a resistor with a rating
between 470 Ohms and 2.2 kOhms need to be wi­red in series. Running the LED without resistor will
lead to their immediate destruction!

Only the decoders with 21MTC interface have two
additional outputs besides the 4 standard outputs,
namely AUX3 and AUX4. Since they are pure „logic­outputs“, it is not possible to connect any external
loads directly. External power transistors are requi­red. Connect AUX3 and AUX4 via the 21MTC inter­face; there are equal to the other outputs. ESU offers
an appropriate adapater board (art.no. 51968) with
transistors.

Locomotives with 21MTC interface

Some LokPilot Standard decoders are equipped with
an 21MTC interface (fig. 2) You can insert the deco­der in two ways: either the pins are put through the
decoder; the socket of the decoder remains visible
after installation (mounting on top) or the decoder
is inserted in such a way that the pins go straight
into the socket. Once the decoder sits in the socket,
the socket is hidden from view. Which of the two
mounting positions is the correct one depends solely
on the locomotive. The position of the marker-pin is
the crucial indicator. Plug the decoder into the socket
in such a way that the locomotive interface corre­sponds with the decoder. Do not apply too much
pressure when inserting the plug. The decoder must
go in without force.
