Tramfabriek DCC Decoder Test Board

By drM & Tramfabriek

Exclusive Tramfabriek DCC test board

Art DT200

Easy way to test your decoders. Comes with 12V coreless motor, in contrast to the marginally cheaper alternative by another brand. With the coreless motor it is therefore very quiet. Especially when working on sound decoders, this is essential, but also with non sound DCC it is a relief.

- Essential device to assure that your new decoder works as it should when you receive it from new, before installing in your model

- You can program the decoder before installing

- Test decoder that you are unsure of if it is working. You can assure the model train is not causing any problem, when tested outside of the model.

A digital command station is needed to connect to the decoder tester to read and control the fitted decoders.

Only connect one decoder at the time! Fitting more than one decoder can damage the decoders.

Will test all the popular DCC connectors:

Plux12/16/22

21MTC

NEM 651 6 pin

MEN652 8 pin

Next18

With integrated speaker.

When out of stock, pre-order here.

Please note: The speed on the speedometer will be amplified due to scale. The smaller the size, the higher the amplification rate. The resolution on the speedometer is 5mS. After conversion of 5mS, some sizes will be amplified to an error of 5 kilometers. This actual difference in model time is very small.

Speedometer

SPC100R is an easy to use tachometer with large LCD display, which will measure the speed of your model train. If you want to limit the maximum speed of your train in CV5 of the digital decoder to match the real world maximum speed, or you just like to see which is the fastest train, you don’t need to draw lines on a straight piece of track and sit next to it with a stop watch. Just turn on this Speedometer, pass the train along it and you know.

Can measure for the following region and scales:

O gauge 1:43.5, OO gauge 1:76, TT 1:120, N gauge 1: 148

Europe

G 1:22.5, 1 1:32, O 1:45, H0 1:87, TT 1:120, N 1:160, Z 1:220
