The 2000 Series Railroad Test Sets

The 2000 Series Railroad Test Sets from Triplett Corporation are specialized VOM's designed for measuring the signal parameters of railroad coding equipment. They maintain compatibility with older technologies, while offering functions and features not found on standard VOM's.

Even for normal operation, the 2000 Series Railroad Test Sets are easier to use. Fewer jacks, more ranges, and a logical front panel layout all contribute to the 2000 Series' ease of use. The use of a multi-turn Ohms Adjust Control facilitates accurate resistance measurements. Also, the measurement of relay contact on time has been simplified and expanded requiring no adjustments.

Code Parameter measurements have been made simpler and more accurate. No longer is it necessary to count pointer swings to measure code rate. On Time can be measured on live signals as well as relay contacts. Peak Levels can be determined quickly and automatically. Adjustments to the code equipment peak level can also be made without constantly readjusting the Test Set. The 2000 Series Railroad Test Sets are also expandable. Optional circuit boards may be installed at any time to allow for the filtering of 60Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, or 250Hz Cab Signals. The base unit Model 2000 may be upgraded at any time to include these filters without losing your initial investment.

The 2000 Series Railroad Test Sets from Triplett Corporation, once again, leaving the competition dead in its tracks!

Features

2000 SERIES ENHANCED FEATURES
Auto-polarity on all DC functions with red NEG indicator. Ohmmeter Voltage Mode detects foreign voltage of either polarity. Multi-turn Ohmmeter Adjust for more accurate setting of Ohmmeter zero. Power saving sleep feature prevents draining of the batteries if accidentally left on. Dry contact requires no adjustment to measure relay contact on time. Measures rate directly without counting pointer swings. Can detect and hold 2 msec momentary closures. Selectable DC Amps Polarity (Auto, Positive, Negative). Will measure pulse code transmit and receive currents independently.

DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF CODE PARAMETERS
Directly measures code parameters in any AC or DC range. No counting of pointer swings or adjustments are necessary. Peak Follow allows downward adjustment of peak levels.
