Warnings
•Do not expose to wet and humid conditions and
Avoid mechanical force or pressure on the decoder
•Do not remove the heat shrink sleeve.
•Never solder on the circuit board, extend cables if
necessary.
•Never wrap the decoder in insulation tape, since this
may cause overheating.
•Any wiring has to be carried out while power is dis-
connected.
•Make sure that neither the decoder nor any blank
wire ends may come into contact with the engine
chassis (risk of short circuit).
•Never operate the LokPilot unattended. The LokPi-
lot is not a (children’s) toy
Requirements for Installation
The locomotive must be in perfect operating condi-
tion prior to the conversion: Only a locomotive with
faultless mechanical properties and smooth running
characteristics in analogue mode is worth converting
to digital. Check and replace all wear and tear parts
such as motor brushes, wheel contacts, light bulbs
etc., if necessary.
Installing the Decoder
Locomotives with 8-pin NEM 652 interface
Some LokPilot Standard decoders are supplied with
an 8-pin interface as per NEM 652 (refer to Fig 1).
Remove the dummy plug from the socket and keep
it for later use. Insert the plug of the decoder in such
a way that pin 1 of the plug (this is the side with
the red / orange wires) sits next to the corner of the
socketthatisusuallymarkedwith*,+,•.Makesure
that the pins are straight and do not tilt when inser-
ting the plug.

Locomotives with PluX12 interface
The LokPilot Standard supplied with a PluX12 inter-
face (fig. 3) ist designed for locomotives in gauge TT.
Decoders fitted with PluX12 connector also will fit
into locomotives with PluX16 or PluX22 interface.
Consider the correct seating of the decoder: One
position of the multi-pin plug of the decoder has no
pin (index pin). This position should be marked in the
locomotive.

Locomotives without interface
Firstly, please cut all wires installed in the locomotive.
Take special care to remove any connections to the
chassis (ground): the motor leads must be positively
potential-free, in other words they may not have any
contact to the chassis or body or the wheels and
wheel contacts. Figure 4 shows all connections.
Function outputs
You can wire all kind of load to the function outputs.
Please make sure that the load does not exceed
the permitted maximum current and there are no
short circuits. The outputs of the LokPilot have pro-
tection but if an external voltage is applied, the
outputs may suffer damage or destruction.
Only install bulbs rated 16V or higher and with a no-
minal current draw, that does not exceed 50 mA or
use suitable smoke generators such as Seuthe No.
11. If you like to use LEDs, a resistor with a rating
between 470 Ohms and 2.2 kOhms need to be wi-
red in series. Running the LED without resistor will
lead to their immediate destruction!
Only the decoders with 21MTC interface have two
additional outputs besides the 4 standard outputs,
namely AUX3 and AUX4. Since they are pure „logic-
outputs“, it is not possible to connect any external
loads directly. External power transistors are requi-
red. Connect AUX3 and AUX4 via the 21MTC inter-
face; there are equal to the other outputs. ESU offers
an appropriate adapater board (art.no. 51968) with
transistors.
Locomotives with 21MTC interface
Some LokPilot Standard decoders are equipped with
an 21MTC interface (fig. 2) You can insert the deco-
der in two ways: either the pins are put through the
decoder; the socket of the decoder remains visible
after installation (mounting on top) or the decoder
is inserted in such a way that the pins go straight
into the socket. Once the decoder sits in the socket,
the socket is hidden from view. Which of the two
mounting positions is the correct one depends solely
on the locomotive. The position of the marker-pin is
the crucial indicator. Plug the decoder into the socket
in such a way that the locomotive interface corre-
sponds with the decoder. Do not apply too much
pressure when inserting the plug. The decoder must
go in without force.

DCC Operation
The LokPilot Standard works with any DCC system..
Remove any capacitors that are wired into the track
feeders (e.g. ROCO® feeder track). This could impair
the functionality of the decoder.
The address is set to 03 with 28 speed steps.
F1 switches output AUX1
F2 switches output AUX2
F3 switches the switching mode on and off
F4 switches the acceleration an deceleration on /off
F5 switches output AUX3 (if applicable)
F6 switches output AUX4 (if applicable)
DC Operation
The LokPilot Standard are set ex factory to operate
on conventional DC layouts as well. No settings are
needed to be done.
Decoder Settings (Programming)
A list of all CV parameters ist given later. These can
be changes using any DCC command station. LokPi-
lot decoders support all NMRA programming modes
as there are the programming track modes (Direct
Mode, Register Mode, Paged Mode) and the mode
for the main („POM“, „Programming on the Main“).
With RailCom® you can read CV values on the main.
RailComPlus®
Using RailComPlus®, the decoder will be automa-
itcelly recognized by a compatible command station.
You can disable this feature by deleting Bit 7 of CV
28.
Function Outputs
Each function output can be set to a certain effect.
For each physical output one CV (CV113 - CV118,
refer table page 4) is provided to define both their
behaviour (Mode) and the brightness. Please write
the following values into the corresponding CVs to
enable the following effects:
Name Description Brighness Mode
Light Normal light 0- 15 + 0
Blink light
Phase I
Output is blinking with
defined frequency
0- 15 + 16
Blink light
Phase II
like above, but the light is
blinking alternating
0- 15 + 32
Strobe Strobe light 0- 15 + 48
firebox Flickering light of a fire box
or braking lights
0- 15 + 80
Zoom Light that fades in / out 0- 15 + 112
Marslight Mars light 0- 15 + 128
Gyra light Gyra light 0- 15 + 144
Ditch light Ditch light phase I 0- 15 + 208
Ditch light Ditch light phase II 0- 15 + 244
Flash rate for blinking lights
You can also set the flash rate for all lighting effects
globally. All effects will flash or strobe at the same
rate. The desired value should be stored in CV 112.
Function Mapping
All function outputs may be assigned to the available
function buttons. Your dcc throttle may not have all
function button. Each function button is linked to a
CV in which any number of events ma be combined.
The number you enter defines the behaviour of the
output. Some functions are directional. For F0 For-
ward, it is CV33, for F0 Reverse it is CV34 and so on.
Example: Writing the value 8 into CV36 defines that
output AUX2 will listen to Function Button F2.

Refering to the table, locate the intersection of
•The row of the desired function button and
•The column for the desired function output.
There you can find the value that you have to enter
into the appropriate CV. If one function button has
to control more outputs, simply add the numbers
and write the result into the CV (33 - 138).

Function outputs for Tillig locomotives
There are specific default settings for the function
mapping stored in the decoder in order to make the
usage easier for some Tillig TT scale engines. To ena-
