6.10.2. Optional “PowerPack”
You can solder a powerful energy buffer to all LokPilot V4.0 de-
coders. In the lower half of figure 21 we show you how to do it.
This „PowerPack“ allows your locomotive to keep running for 2
seconds without power.
The PowerPack only operates in digital mode. It automatically
•
turns off on analogue layouts.
It may take up to two minutes to fully charge the capacitor („Gold-
•
Cap“). Therefore, the time bridged with the energy buffer depends
on the current draw of your locomotive and the charge-up time.
The LokPilot XL V4.0 has an integral PowerPack matching the
•
higher current needed by models of the larger gauges. Additional
buffering with capacitors or further PowerPacks is neither intend-
ed nor necessary.
The time to be bridged with the PowerPack can be set in CV 113.
Find more details in chapter 10.9.
Further information about how to use the PowerPack module is to
be found in the “PowerPack module” manual.
