user manual LokPilot mfx (61600) V1.0 04/2005
Motorola-Mode
The LokPilot can be operated with all previously or
currently available Märklin® devices reps. with
compatible systems. The functions F1 to F4 can only
be used with the so called „New Motorola®-format“.
Inn order to active this you must set the DIP-switches
1 and 2 of the 6021 in the upper position („On“).
mfx-mode
The LokPilot mfx is automatically detected by all
central units compatible to Märklin® systems such
as mobile station or central station. After registration
of the decoder it can be operated immediately.
Adjusting decoder parameters
The LokPilot mfx supports many parameters.
Depending on the type of central unit it may not be
possible to modify all parameters.
With Märklin® 6020 / 6021
In conjunction with all previous Märklin® central units
6020 resp. 6021 the most important parameters are
available. They are sorted in CVs as listed in table 1. In
order to adjust these CVs proceed as follows:
(The throttle must be set to 0.
No other engines may be on the layout.
Take note of the blinking lights of the engine!)
• Press the „Stop“- and „Go“-buttons of the 6021
at the same time (simultaneously), until a Reset is
triggered. (Alternately pull the mains plug and re-
insert afterwards)
• Press the „Stop“-button in order to turn off the
track voltage
• Enter the current decoder address (alternative:
„80“)
• Activate change of direction with the throttle (turn
the knob left beyond the „Stop“-position until you
hear a click), hold the knob there and press the
„Go“-button
• The LokPilot mfx is now in programming mode
(headlights are blinking)
• Enter the number of the parameter (CV) you want
to change (two digits).
• Confirm by pressing „change of direction“ (now
the headlights blink in double mode)
• Enter the new value for the register (two digits)
•Confirm by pressing „change of direction“
(headlights are on for 1 second and then start
blinking)
•Then you can change other registers in the same
manner
•To exit the programming mode select register „80“
or turn off the track voltage for a moment (press
„Stop“-button on 6021, then „Go“-button)
With Märklin® mobile station
With the Märklin® mobile station it is child’s play to
enter the name of the engine, the maximum speed as
well as acceleration and deceleration. Even a decoder
reset is easily possible. Other parameters cannot be
activated with the mobile station.
With Märklin® central station or ESU Lok-
Programmer
The LokPilot mfx has a large number of adjustable
parameters. They can be adjusted comfortably with
the aid of a graphic display either with the central
station or the ESU LokProgrammer 53450. Besides
the parameters described above the following
parameters are also available:
• Freely selectable speed curve
• Parameters for load control
• Function mapping: you determine which function
button triggers which function and which symbol
is displayed.
• Assigning lighting effects to the various function
outputs: The LokSound mfx decoder offers a large
choice of lighting effects such as dimming, flash,
blinking or simulating the firebox. You determine
which output operates with which effect and how
bright the lamps should be.
• Selection and settings of parameters in analogue
modes resp. brake sectors
• Setting of maximum speed in analogue mode
• Various other settings
Tips und Tricks
Adjusting Load control
The load control of the LokPilot mfx can be adapted
to different types of motors. The standard settings
match most motors very well but may have to be
adjusted for other models. This is particularly true for
coreless motors (Faulhaber, Maxxon) where we
recommend setting the K-value (CV 54) to a lower
value.
