Decoder Tester – Zimo MSTAPK

Description

Decoder testers allow for quick and simple testing of all kinds of decoders prior to installing in a locomotive, or for troubleshooting and testing decoders that have been removed from a locomotive. It is also very useful for loading to a decoder a large number of CV’s from a template, or a sound project from a sound loading device such as the Zimo MXULFA or ESU LokProgrammer.

Includes 1x Zimo MSTAPK decoder tester, 1x 2 pin plug for connecting a programming track and 1x SUSI cable.

• Connect your DCC programming track or sound loading device to the tester using the screw terminals on the 2 pin plug
• Two LED’s labelled ‘L’ and ‘R’ will light when DCC power is connected and turned on
• A handy DCC power on/off push button is provided next to the 2 pin plug
• Handy push-down ‘screw’ terminals for hardwire decoders – push down to secure each wire instead of excess use of a screwdriver!
