TKM2 DC/DCC Model Railway Track Voltage Tester

About the Product

The BLOCKsignalling TKM2 is a DC/DCC model railway track voltage tester, designed to quickly check track power and help identify voltage drops, poor electrical connections and wiring faults that can affect locomotive performance.

Simply place the TKM2 directly onto the rails and the built-in LEDs provide an immediate indication of the voltage present. This makes it easy to check different areas of a layout and identify sections where reduced track voltage may be contributing to slow, intermittent or unreliable locomotive operation.

The TKM2 provides a quick and straightforward alternative to repeatedly connecting a conventional multimeter when checking track power around a layout.

With contact spacing suitable for Z, N, TT, HO and OO gauge track, the TKM2 is a useful addition to the modeller's toolbox for routine layout testing, maintenance and fault finding.

Checking Model Railway Track Voltage

To use the TKM2, simply place the tester across the rails at the location you want to check. The built-in LEDs illuminate according to the voltage present on the track, providing a quick visual indication of the available track power.

By checking the voltage at different locations around the layout, the TKM2 can help identify areas where the voltage is lower than expected. This can be useful when investigating poor rail joints, inadequate track feeds, wiring problems or other electrical issues that may affect locomotive performance.

Checking Model Railway Track Voltage

The TKM2 can be used on both DC and DCC model railway layouts, making it useful for checking track power across a wide range of installations.

Its contact spacing is designed for Z, N, TT, HO and OO gauge track, allowing the same tester to be used across several popular model railway scales.

Ideal for Fault Finding

The TKM2 provides a quick way to investigate common model railway electrical problems, including:

• Locomotives slowing down in certain areas of the layout.
• Intermittent or unreliable locomotive running.
• Suspected voltage drops along longer track sections.
• Poor rail joiner or track connections.
• Problems with track power feeds.
• Checking whether power is reaching a particular section of track.

Because the voltage indication is provided directly on the tester, it can be moved around the layout to compare different sections quickly and easily.
