DCC Where is the English version of the most recent ESU decoder manuals?

[Dog Star]

To be specific, I have bought recently an ESU Lokpilot Fx V4 decoder from a UK distributor and the packaging does not include a manual so off I go to look at the download part of the ESU website. If I select the English version of the downloads then I get this page:-

ESU - Electronic Solutions Ulm GmbH & Co. KG: Digital decoders

where the English version of the Lokpilot V4.0 user manual is "Date: 03.04.13, Version: 6th Edition".

A couple of years back I purchased a Lokpilot V4 decoder and the packaging included a German version of the manual "Date November 2013, Version 7th Edition".

If I select the German version of the downloads then I get this page:-

ESU - Electronic Solutions Ulm GmbH & Co. KG: Betriebsanleitungen

where the German version of the Lokpilot V4.0 user manual is "February 2017, Version 11th Edition".


How do I establish if there is an English version of the 11th edition of the manual? Or maybe a summary of the differences between version 6 (English) and version 11 (German)?


Thank you, Graham

Hi Graham,

perhaps a phone call to SW Digital might bring the answer that you seek?

Discussions with suppliers of ESU decoders in the UK gives a strong impression that the "most recent" English version of the LokPilot V4 user manual is edition 6 of 2013... South-West Digital believes that there has been no more recent English-translation of the document.

I would hope that there have been no significant changes to the firmware in the meantime. If there have been changes without an updated English-language version of the manual methinks you might be supporting the wrong vendor!
