By default, this decoder does not come with a pre-programmed Sound Profile. Nevertheless, we provide complimentary Sound File programming for all ESU decoders. Please be aware that opting for Sound File Programming in your order might result in a shipment delay of 1 to 2 business days. Visit this link to preview ESU Sounds 8-Pin NEM652 Harness Plug, 30 x 15.5mm Version The LokSound 5 is the most important member of the LokSound family. Due to the combination of the digital decoder and the sound module on one circuit board we achieve the smallest possible dimensions of 30 mm x 15.5 mm. Therefore it fits into almost any H0 or 0 gauge locomotive. LokSound 5 decoders are available with all popular interface types and are supplied with a sugar cube speaker (11 mm x 15 mm) and a sound enclosure. The LokSound 5 DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts. Please note the LokSound 5 DCC decoder does not come with a speaker. Operating modes Like all products of the LokSound family the LokSound 5 is a true multi protocol decoder. It supports DCC as well as Motorola®, Selectrix® and M4. Of course it supports 14 through to 128 speed steps as well as 2 and 4 digit addresses in DCC format and up to 32 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus® the decoders register themselves fully automatically on suitable command stations. This decoder supports all DCC programming modes and thanks to RailCom® you may read out the CV values on the main, provided you have a command station supporting RailCom®. There are utility registers for command stations that only facilitate programming of CVs ranging from 1 to 255. Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps for 255 addresses. Three additional Motorola® addresses facilitate triggering of 16 functions. An integral programming mode even allows programming with the good old Central Unit 6021. The M4 protocol supports the automatic registration on mfx® compatible central units. The LokSound 5 decoder supports the Märklin® braking sections just as well as the ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC is also possible. Furthermore the locomotive with a LokSound will come to a halt when a Selectrix® braking diode is switched into the circuit. The ABC push-pull feature enables the automatic commuting between two stations. The LokSound 5 decoder is also suitable for analogue DC and AC (!) layouts. Sound The LokSound 5 decoder can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously. Each channel offers up to 16 Bit / 31250 kHz and thus we have finally achieved hi-fi sound quality on your layout. For all practical purposes one cannot detect any difference to the original. A class D audio power amplifier with up to 3W output power feeds the speakers with a permitted impedance of 4 – 32 Ohms. The huge 128 MBit sound memory assures sufficient storage capacity. The volume of all individual sound fragments may be adjusted separately. The outstandingly flexible sound engine without a rigid flow chart facilitates a prototypical simulation of all conceivable rail vehicles. Three separately adjustable braking functions and two alternative load scenarios provide you with maximum control of your vehicles. Functions We are quite aware that you want your locomotives to be as realistic as possible. Therefore we have packed many function outputs into it.  Subject to the type of interface every LokSound 5 has at least 10 amplified outputs. The decoders with PluX22 or 21MTC interface have an additional 4 outputs for controlling servos or as logic outputs. Of course, all important lighting functions are supported. The brightness of each output may be adjusted separately. The decoder supports the automatic push and pull movements – known as the coupler waltz - required for reliable operation of digital couplers such as the ones by ROCO® and Krois® as well as Telex® couplers. Motor control Motor control of the LokSound 5 has been further improved. A variable PWM pulse frequency ranging from 10 kHz to 50 kHz assures perfect silent operation, particularly for coreless motors. Thus the typical hum is a thing of the past. Load control can now be adjusted with up to 10 separate CVs and thus will manage even the most difficult cases. The unique “Auto Tune” function facilitates the automatic calibration of the decoder to perfectly match the motor. The LokSound 5 decoder supplies up to 1.5A motor current, which is quite sufficient even for older motor types. LokSound 5 DCC The LokSound 5 DCC is made for the North American and Australian markets. It is a pure DCC Decoder, which supports RailComPlus and can also be used on DC layouts.

Since smart phones with touch screens have almost completely replaced the conventional mobile phone, model train enthusiasts and manufacturers face the question how to employ more powerful devices for controlling model trains. As a result of this, many apps have been developed lately, which can be uploaded onto your mobile phone and used for running your trains. This concept, however, has one disadvantage, namely that smart phones have not been primarily designed for running model trains. Due to the lack of suitable input elements the operator is forced to spend most of the time looking at the display. The limits become quickly obvious so we at ESU had a look at the question on how to utilize the advantages of the smart phone technology and combine it with the needs of model train enthusiasts. It is with great joy that we now present the results of our considerations. With the new ESU CabControl DCC system you have wireless control of your locomotives, accessories and routes simply by Wi-Fi! With the 50310 CabControl Integrated Control Unit, advanced model railroading is as simple as ever. With our new system, you have full control over your locomotives, switches and signals just at the tap of a finger. The unit communicates with our Mobile Control II Wireless Controller via wireless LAN. The CabControl’s integrated 7 Amp booster also allows it to power even larger layouts with ease. LokSound decoders equipped with RailComPlus® even register automatically with the system! Running trains has finally caught up with the technology of today! CabControl - Integrated Control Unit ESU’s “North American” System This system was specially developed for use in North America and Australia. American and Australian locomotive icons (along with European Icons) Easy Consisting for multiple unit lash-ups using drop down menus Wireless walk around system making it easy to follow your train on a large layout. Technical Specification CabControl Features All DCC modes (14, 28, 128 speed steps) Long and short addresses Over 16,000 locomotives can be arranged and controlled Up to 28 functions per locomotive All Scales can be used with the CabControl system with the variable voltage 7Amp Power Supply Built-in WLAN Access Point Creates a unique Wifi-Network for your Mobile Control II Wireless throttles Supports at least 32 Mobile Control II Wireless ControllersCompliant with all relevant IEEE WLAN standards. Suitable for use in America and Europe The CabControl features a LAN port to connect the box to your home network. Via the home network, the CabControl can be connected to Model RailRoad Control Software. “ECoSlink” port For easy connection with our ESU boosters, CabControl supports ECoSlink, a high speed, CAN based bus system. The CabControl built-in booster has so much power that, in most cases, you don‘t need additional ones. Hook Up Hook up is simple with the CabControl system. All you have to do is plug the 7 Amp power supply into the CabControl box and then hook up your CabControl box to your track for track power and its ready to go!  The wireless controllers automatically connect to the system via WLAN.  Upgradable On occasion new features will be added to the CabControl system. Gone are the days of having to send your DCC command station back to the manufacturer for updates! When a new update becomes available it is as simple as loading this to a USB Data stick and plugging it in to the back of the system. Easy! Protection Each CabControl system meets the relevant requirements regarding safety and operation on a layout: The track outlet is protected against overload as well as short circuits. Each CabControl system can differentiate between a “genuine” short, and a momentary current drain when passing over switches or gaps. We place value on the indestructibility of the device, just like we do with our mobile decoders. Expansion As the CabControl System uses the ESU Mobile Control II Wireless Throttles, expansion is easy as these throttles are already available and will connect automatically to the Integrated Control Unit. The system can also be used with the ECoSBoost Boosters using the ECoSlink Terminals when more power is needed for large layouts. CabControl - Handheld Wireless Throttle Ergonomics & Functionality Combined When you hold your CabControl Throttle in your hands for the first time you will immediately notice its excellent ergonomics. All Parts of the screen can easily be reached with one hand, and unlike a cell phone throttle, the most important functions can even be reached “without looking” giving you the ability to watch your trains and not needing to watch your throttle. This is due to the central, motorized throttle knob with end stop. With this knob you can delicately control the speed of your trains and change direction. For activating functions simply touch the icons on the display. The display also serves for changing functions – exactly the same way as you know it from your mobile phone.  Finally, two buttons each on either side serve for changing direction or triggering the most important functions. These side buttons are user editable giving you the choice of what you want to control with them. Colorized Function Icons are displayed showing what function does what. Gone are the days of having to memorize what function button control what decoder feature. Running Locomotives The CabControl Throttles can control all locomotives registered in the system and supports 14, 28 or 128 speed steps. All of the important locomotive properties such as name, a picture, function mapping as well as easily identifiable icons for function buttons will be taken from the Integrated Control Unit and will be displayed correctly. You may switch up to 28 functions for each locomotive, which, of course, can either be momentary or continuous functions. You read that correctly! EVERY Function Button can be momentary or latching depending on your use! No more limitations on how you function map your decoders. As standards are constantly changing and the number of DCC function buttons is increased a simple update will allow for even more! Controlling Accessories The CabControl System has the ability to run over 1000 magnetic accessories. More Fun in Operations The high resolution (480 x 800 pixels, 280 dpi), backlit TFT display of the CabControl Throttle always keeps you up to date on the most important operating parameters. Furthermore, you can see if another operator controls a certain locomotive or if an emergency stop has been triggered. The permanently installed, powerful Lithium polymer rechargeable battery will serve you right through the most extensive operating sessions giving 5-8 hours of operation based on how you are using your throttles. Recharge the batteries of your CabControl simply by using the USB port on the Integrated Control Unit and the supplied Micro USB Cable or the battery charger of your mobile phone or any other USB port. Open Platform The CabControl Throttles are based on the Android operating system. We have created a powerful basis for this open, globally used operating system:  The ARM® Cortex® A8 microprocessor clocked with 1.3 GHz and controls a high resolution 3.2 inch TFT color display. A capacitive touch screen assures touch-free data entry. For communicating with the “outside world” there is an USB port and a WLAN interface. Thanks to the standardized radio control interface, trouble free operation of your layout can be assured at any time. The range can be extended with WLAN repeaters, if necessary. Due to the open platform design you may add further apps for the Google Play Store at any time.   *The CabControl DCC System was specifically created for the North American and Australian Market and as such can only be purchased though ESU LLC in the USA.

A PBM can be added to a HO model train locomotive so that if the model train wheels loose connection from the track because of dirty track or other problems, the Power Backup Module will supply power to the Locomotive Module for up to many seconds to keep operating properly without sounds, lights, or even motor stopping! What is special about the RaiPro PBM is that the PBM is an active power backup not a passive one like many other power backups. Many others are basically just super capacitors that the voltage drops exponentially as soon as the power is removed. With other backups, lights continually dim and module performance is effected. Our PBM has onboard microcontroller and other electronics that will output a fixed voltage similar to a good power supply output so lights stay constant while PBM is active and locomotives perform better. Product Specifications: Connection 2-wire Dimensions: 1.27 x 0.66 x 0.32 in DCC Track Voltage: 12.6V – 16V     Approximate Run time lights only: ~18 SecondsApproximate Run time lights and sounds: ~14 SecondsApproximate Run time lights, sounds, and pulling a train:Varies greatly depending on locomotive, speed, load etc. PBM Frequently Asked Questions What is the most important aspect of a power backup module? In our opinion, the most important aspect of a PBM is its ability to power a locomotive pulling a train across dead track. Our PBM works so well that one of our locomotives pulled twelve cars across thirty inches of dead track without stopping while the lights and sounds were on! We tested some other super capacitor only power backup products that only covered a small fraction of the distance and were as large as our PBM! If the most important aspect is powering the locomotive pulling a train, why is there so many others that show or talk about the time the lights stay on? Powering a train can take many times the power then to just have light and/or sounds on because the motor can use much more power than powering the lights and/or sounds. We have seen super capacitor only designs that have real long light on time but when you try to pull a train the results were very poor. One product we tested had many seconds of light and/or sound on time but when pulling a train it died in less than 0.2 seconds! This is why we think many talk about or show light on time because it makes their products look better than they may perform when actually pulling a train. Do I have to use a PBM in all my locomotives for them to run well? NO. If your layout is powered by a RailPro power supply, you have quality locomotives, your layout is properly wired, and you do a reasonable job of keeping your track and locomotive wheels clean, you can have a good running layout without PBMs. So who does Ring Engineering sell PBMs for if some RailPro customers do not really need them? There are many RailPro customers that run on other peoples layouts (like at train clubs) and they cannot control how clean or maintained the track is. There are some RailPro customers that do clean their track regularly but just want extra insurance to be sure they get the best operation possible. Is it ok to use other companies power backup like devices with RailPro locomotive modules? No. Ring Engineering products should only be used as described in their user manuals. The LM user manuals do not say it is ok to connect super capacitors. Using our products in a way not in compliance with our user manuals will void the warranty of the Ring Engineering product and may cause serious problems. There is no public specification on how to design power backup units so there is no guarantee of compatibility. We believe that some regular super capacitor designs have been used with RailPro LM modules and damaged the RailPro modules. If you want power backup you should only use a Ring Engineering PBM with your RailPro locomotive modules. If a power backup has more Farads of super capacitors is it better? Not necessarily. The amount of capacitance (Farads) is only one factor and may not be a real good one when trying to compare one power backup to another. There are other important features to consider besides capacitance. For example a one Farad device can be a lot better than a two farad device. The two farad device may allow lights to run longer but not be able to power a moving train well. There is simply a lot more to it then simply comparing how much capacitance a backup device has built into it. Made In USA
