LokPilot Fx V3.0
LokPilot Fx V3.0 – There´s a lot to switch
LokPilot Fx V3.0 LokPilot Fx V3.0 21MTC
Motorless rolling stock can be digitalised with the LokPilot Fx
V3.0. To this end, LokPilot Fx V3.0 offers six function outputs,
which can activate typical functions, such as car interior illumination,
head- or rear (-end, warning-) lights on cars, and function
models.
Of course LokPilot Fx V3.0 is multi-protocol capable and with a
dimension of 17.5mm x 15.0 mm’s (0.7 x 0.6 inch) small enough
for most any application. LokPilot Fx V3.0 comes in two variants:
Next to the „classic“ version with an 8-wire NEM 652 harness,
there is a version available for the new 21MTC connector.
Operational modes
LokPilot Fx V3.0 can handle DCC with 14, 28 or 128 speed
steps as well as Motorola® and Selectrix®. The decoder recognizes
the speed steps automatically. It supports Lenz® LG100
resp. ROCO® braking sections in addition to Zimo®’s HLU-commands,
or braking in DC sections with reversed polarity as well
as Märklin® braking sections (also for DCC). You can either use
short-, or four digit addresses, or assign a consist address.
The Motorola® protocol enables the LokPilot Fx V3.0 decoder
to run with Märklin® stations 6020®, 6021®, delta®, mobile
station® and Central Station®. For those, the decoder handles
addresses 01 – 255, and comes to a halt correctly on the Märklin®
braking section.
On Selectrix® layouts you can choose between addresses 01
– 112. LokPilot Fx V3.0 converses during operation fully automatically
between all control modes (Motorola®, DCC, DC, AC,
Selectrix®).
Analog operation
There are no restrictions for LokPilot Fx V3.0-equipped rolling
stock, of course, when operating in digital mode.

Functions
LokPilot Fx V3.0 comes with six function outputs, 250mA’s each,
and each can be assigned individually to a function: There is
flash light, alternate flash, (or ditch lights), strobe light, firebox
flicker as well as Mars-or Gyra light for US models. There is also
a high frequency-, time controlled output available for digitally
operated couplings.
All function outputs can be dimmed individually in 15 steps.
In DCC mode, each function output can be assigned to any
function key between F0 - F15. F0 – F8 will be recognized in
Motorola mode, the same in Selectrix mode, depending upon
the station.
Programming
The LokPilot Fx V3.0 supports all DCC programming modes,
including POM (Programming on the main). For Märklin® stations
6020®, 6021®, mobile station®, and Central Station® all
programming is also done electronically. For these units LokPilot
Fx V3.0 employs a time proven, easily acquired programming
procedure.
The programmed changes during Motorola® operation are also
valid during DCC- and Selectrix® operation – and vice verse.
Programming parameters is especially simple for owners of our
ECoS command station: All options are displayed in plain language
on the large screen, and can easily be modified – even
during operation on the layout.
Interaction
LokPilot Fx V3.0 is designed for optimum interaction with the
LokSound V3.5-, and the LokPilot V3.0 decoders: For example
it’s possible to equip the cab of an A-A consist with a LokSound
V3.5 decoder-, and the controlling car with a LokPilot Fx V3.0
one. Given both the same address, they work absolutely identically.
Identical grouping of the CVs facilitates synchronisation
of both decoders.
RailCom®
RailCom® is activated ex works. You are able to read CVs on
the main track if you use an appropriate command station like
our ECoS.
Protection
All function outputs are protected against overload and short
circuit.
Built-in future
The LokPilot Fx V3.0 decoder is firmware upgradeable. New
software functions can be installed through the LokProgrammer.
