user manual LokPilot mfx (61600) V1.0 04/2005
• Maximum current of decoder: 1.2 Amperes
• Dimensions: 22.5 x 15.5 x 4.5 mm
• Future proof: Firmware upgrades due to Flash-
Memory possible
Important note:
• The LokPilot mfx is designed for use with model
railways only
• Avoid mechanical force and impact on the
decoder
• Do not expose to wet and humid conditions
• Do not remove the heat shrink sleeve around
the decoder
• Never solder on the circuit board, extend cables
if necessary
• Never wrap the decoder in insulation tape, since
this may prevent heat diffusion and cause
overheating
• Always disconnect the circuit when installing the
decoder
• Make sure that no blank wire ends come into
contact with any metal parts of the locomotive
• Make sure that no wires are squeezed or cut by
the model’s transmission parts when
reassembling the locomotive.
Prior to installation
The locomotive must be in perfect technical condition
prior to installation. Only a locomotive with a trouble-
free mechanism and smooth running properties in
analogue mode should be converted for digital mode.
General Features:
The LokPilot mfx is specifically designed for use with
Märklin® central units: it can be operated with the
known central units such as Delta or control unit
6020 resp. 6021, but also with the new Märklin®
systems command stations working with the mfx-
data format. Of course it can also be operated with
conventional AC. The LokPilot mfx automatically
detects the required operating mode. It can control
DC motors, coreless motors (e.g. Faulhaber) or uni-
versal motors with HAMO-magnets.
Due to its unique features LokPilot mfx offers you
flexibility and reliability that you have come to expect
from a digital decoder. Due to its flash-technology it
can be updated at any time.
