4. Features
ESU SwitchPilot 3 decoders are optimized for stationary use on
your model train layout and can switch conventional solenoid
turnout drives, daylight signals, magnetic uncouplers, incande-
scent lamps (bulbs) or other stationary electric loads.
4.1. General Features
The SwitchPilot 3 has 8 transistor outputs for switching up to 4
solenoid accessories (e.g.: turnouts) or 8 other electric loads such
as uncoupling tracks or incandescent lamps. Each output can be
individually programmed for the purpose of use and is electroni-
cally protected against overload and short circuit.
The SwitchPilot 3 can receive its power directly from the digital
system or an external DC or AC power supply.
SwitchPilot 3 supports multi-protocol operation and can be used
with central units supporting the Märklin® Motorola® system
(e.g.: 6021, Central Station® or Mobile Station®) as well as DCC
enabled command stations. Configuration can be carried out on
the main (POM – Programming on the Main) and the program-
ming track. Thanks to RailCom®, CVs can also be read out.
Operation with the Roco® Lokmaus 2 is not possible: The Lok-
maus 2 sends only DCC locomotive commands instead of the re-
quired accessory commands.
If desired, a SwitchPilot 3 can transmit feedback reporting the
turnout status directly to the ECoS command station via Rail-
Com®.
For simplifying the rather cumbersome configuration of accessory
decoders, the SwitchPilot 3 has an innovative operating concept
consisting of a 4-line, illuminated OLED display and three input
buttons. All settings can be checked directly on the decoder at
any time with the help of the display and changed, if so desired.
„Programming” with the help of your command station is not
required. It cannot get any easier.
