user manual LokPilot V2.0 / LokPilot DCC V2.0 01/2005
Use only digital smoke generators (e.g. Seuthe No.
11) for locomotives whose light and function outputs
are connected as shown in figure 2. All other smoke
generators may draw too much current. Some
commercially available smoke generators have a higher
nominal current than 250 mA!
Locomotives that are connected as shown in figure 3
need an analogue smoke generator e.g.
Seuthe No. 10.
Make sure that the total current for all function
outputs does not exceed the permitted current
rating and avoid short circuits between outputs.
Although outputs of LokPilotDCC decoders are
protected, high voltage on the terminals or a
short circuit may damage the decoder!
Set-up and initial operation
Before replacing the body and reconnecting the
engine it is recommended to carry out a function
test.
The factory pre-set address is 03.
• Does the locomotive move in either direction?
• Turn the lights on: are they operating correctly? If
the LokPilotDCC V2.0 decoder is used in a
locomotive with NEM interface: check if the NEM
connector is plugged in correctly.
DCC-Mode
Remove capacitors that may be connected to the
track section (e.g. in ROCO connecting track). They
may impede normal operation of the decoder and
even destroy it.
LokPilotDCC may be operated with any DCC compatible
system. The automatic speed step detection was tested
with the following devices: ROCO Lokmaus2, Uhlen-
brock Intellibox, Lenz Digital plus V2.3, ZIMO MX1.
When using Lenz digital plus V3.0 the auto-detect
feature does not operate in 14-speed step mode.
Change to 28/128 speed steps.
LokPilotDCC attempts to detect the speed step setting
every time the system is powered up and the lights
are turned on. In order to accomplish this you have
to switch on the lights and vary the speed setting
until the lights burn consistently. If you want to change
the speed step setting during operation, you have to
disconnect the circuit/track/locomotive to activate the
auto-detect feature
The auto-detect feature can be turned off with CV 49
Bit 4 (refer to the table on page 8).
Motorola-mode (not for LokPilotDCC V2.0)
The LokPilot V2.0 can be used with all Märklin® devices
or compatible systems previously sold or currently on
the market. The functions F1 to F4 can only be
activated with the so-called „new Motorola®-
format“. To activate this, the DIP switches 1 and 2 on
the 6021 have to be set to the upper position („On“).
Adjusting decoder parameters
The LokPilot V2.0 supports many parameters. A
detailed list is provided at the end of this manual. All
adjustable parameters are stored in so called CVs
(configuration variables). They can be adjusted
individually, depending on the type of command
station. Please refer to the relevant chapters in the
manual of your digital system (e.g.: programming of
DCC decoders). The LokPilot V2.0 supports all
programming methods as per NMRA.
Programming Märklin 6020 / 6021
Märklin central units 6020 and 6021 have to be dealt
with differently. Only parameters up to number 80
are available, provided the desired number is also below
80. Proceed as follow to adjust these
CVs (not for LokPilotDCC V2.0):
(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. (alternatively pull the mains plug and re-
plug 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 over the „Stop“-position until you
hear a click), hold the knob there and press the
„Go“-button
• The LokPilot V2.0 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“
(headlight are on for 1 second and then start
blinking)
