ESU SwitchPilot 3 Servo decoders are optimized for stationary use
on your model train layout and were developed to control up to
eight RC servo drives.
4.1. General Features
The SwitchPilot 3 Servo has eight outputs for controlling RC servo
drives. He can control these drives so precisely that, in addition to
switching points, any other slow movement can be controlled .
The SwitchPilot 3 Servo has built-in switch-on impulse suppression
to eliminate or reduce the system-related „jerking” of RC servos
when the supply voltage is applied. Furthermore, the power sup-
ply to the servo can be interrupted to prevent some inexpensive
servos from “humming”.
The SwitchPilot 3 Servo can receive its power directly from the
digital system or an external DC or AC power supply.
SwitchPilot 3 Servo 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 pro-
gramming 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.
As a special feature, the SwitchPilot 3 Servo can be used entirely
without a digital center: if desired, up to 16 buttons can be con-
nected for direct switching of the servos.
For simplifying the rather cumbersome configuration of accesso-
ry decoders, the SwitchPilot 3 Servo 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.
