SwitchPilot 3 Plus with 8 Outputs (No Feedback)

SwitchPilot 3 Plus with 8 Outputs (No Feedback)

Details:

The ESU SwitchPilot 3 Plus is a high-capacity 8-output accessory decoder designed for complex model railway layouts requiring reliable control of multiple points, signals, lighting circuits and electro-mechanical accessories. Building on the proven SwitchPilot 3 platform, the “Plus” version doubles the number of switchable outputs while retaining ESU’s intuitive onboard programming system and full multi-protocol compatibility.

At the heart of the SwitchPilot 3 Plus is a clear 4-line OLED display with three integrated control buttons, allowing all configuration settings to be adjusted directly on the decoder without the need for a command station. This makes installation and setup significantly faster, especially on large layouts where multiple decoders are used.

The decoder supports both DCC and Märklin® Motorola® protocols, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of digital control systems. Each of its 8 output pairs (16 transistor outputs in total) can be individually configured for different operating modes, including momentary pulse switching, continuous switching, bistable operation, flashing outputs and dimming effects for realistic lighting simulation.

RailCom® support enables feedback and configuration reading directly on the main track when used with compatible command stations such as the ESU ECoS. The SwitchPilot 3 Plus can be powered either directly from the digital system or via an external AC/DC supply, making it highly flexible for different installation scenarios.

The SwitchPilot 3 Plus is ideal for large or highly detailed layouts where multiple accessories must be controlled independently. Each output pair can be tailored to a specific task such as solenoid point motors, LED signal heads, relay switching or lighting effects. Built-in overload protection ensures safe and reliable operation even under demanding conditions.

Its onboard programming system eliminates the need for repeated CV programming via a central station, allowing modellers to make quick adjustments directly at the installation point. This is particularly useful for layouts with complex under-baseboard wiring or multiple control zones.
