ESU 58416 LokSound / Ver 5 Multiprotocal 6-Pin Generic Ready for Programming - (All Scales) Part # = 397-58416

The ESU 58416 LokSound Version 5 is a multiprotocol 6 - pin 'Generic' decoder ready for programming, suitable for all scales with part number 397 - 58416. It's a LokSound 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 'blank decoder' with an 11x15mm speaker. It comes ready for programming but without pre - programming. If you want a sound file loaded onto the decoder, Yankeedabbler will do it for free. Just add the sound file number or locomotive type (e.g., GP38) in the 'add order note' in the lower - left corner of your cart. Otherwise, the decoder will be sent directly to you for self - programming. You can view the ESU Sound Library (North American and AUS Files) at https://projects.esu.eu/projectoverviews/18. We can load any ESU sound file; just tell us the file number or locomotive type. You can also buy a LokProgrammer (stock number 53452) from us, though it's not always necessary as decoders can have pre - loaded sound files and CV changes can be made via control systems. This decoder is for HO gauge and the 6 - pin harness fits most HO scale locomotives. It features 'Full Throttle' decoder operation for diesels, compensating for the limitations of BEMF control. The V5 decoder supports all DCC programming modes, RailCom®, Märklin® braking sections, ZIMO® HLU braking commands, Lenz® ABC system, and can brake with DCC generators or DC. It's suitable for analog DC, AC, and DCC command control. Sound - wise, it can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously, with high - quality audio output and a large 128 MBit sound memory. The volume of each sound fragment can be adjusted. Function - wise, it has at least 10 amplified outputs with multiple lighting functions, and some models have additional outputs for servos or logic. Motor control has been improved, with up to 1.5A motor current, variable PWM frequency, and an 'Auto - Tune' function.

Using this ESU 58416 LokSound Version 5 decoder is a breeze. First, if you want a specific sound file on it, add the details in the 'add order note' when you place your order. Otherwise, you'll need to program it yourself. To view the available sound files, visit the provided link. When installing, note that the 6 - pin harness is designed to fit most HO scale locomotives. For programming, the decoder supports all DCC programming modes. If your command station supports RailCom®, you can read out the CV values on the main. In terms of operation, it can handle different braking systems and works well with analog DC, AC, and DCC command control. When it comes to sound, you can adjust the volume of each sound fragment separately for a personalized experience. For motor control, take advantage of the variable PWM frequency for silent operation. And don't forget the 'Auto - Tune' function to make the decoder match your motor perfectly. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues with programming or operation, refer to the ESU website or contact customer support.
