ESU 58513 LokSound V5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 XL Screw is a large-scale sound decoder with screw terminals. It's ready for programming. If you want the sound file pre - loaded, just add the sound file number or locomotive type in the 'add order note' of your order. We'll load it for free. Otherwise, you'll need to program the decoder yourself. You can view the ESU Sound Library at https://projects.esu.eu/projectoverviews/18. It's for North American and AUS files, but we can load any ESU sound file. You can also buy a LokProgrammer from us (stock number 53452), though it's not always necessary as decoders can come with pre - loaded sound files and CV changes can be made via control systems. This decoder is for O and S scales. The LokSound V5 XL is great for applications where power exceeds the limits of a LokSound 5 decoder, like O and S scale locomotives. Despite its small size (50.8 mm x 25.4 mm x 14 mm), it has a dual speaker output and an integrated PowerPack. The 'Full Throttle' feature compensates for what the decoder can't sense about the load. It supports all DCC programming modes and RailCom® for reading CV values. It also works with various braking systems and is suitable for analog DC, AC, and DCC command control. The sound can reproduce up to 10 channels simultaneously, with great audio quality and a large 128 MBit sound memory. Volume of each sound fragment can be adjusted. Each LokSound V5 has at least 10 amplified outputs with lighting functions, and some interfaces have additional outputs. Motor control is improved, with up to 1.5A current and a variable PWM pulse frequency for silent operation. The 'Auto - Tune' function calibrates the decoder to match the motor.

Using the ESU LokSound V5 XL DCC/MM/SX/M4 Screw decoder is quite straightforward. First, if you want the sound file pre - loaded, remember to add the sound file number or locomotive type in the 'add order note' when you place your order. If you don't, you'll have to program the decoder yourself. You can use the LokProgrammer (stock number 53452) we offer, but it's not a must. You can also use control systems for CV changes. When installing it in your O or S scale locomotive, make sure it fits well considering its size of 50.8 mm x 25.4 mm x 14 mm. For sound settings, you can adjust the volume of each sound fragment separately to get the best audio experience. In terms of motor control, the decoder will automatically calibrate to the motor using the 'Auto - Tune' function. Just let it do its job for smooth operation. When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you have any issues with the braking systems or sound quality, check the connections first. If problems persist, feel free to contact us for further assistance.
