2. Introduction

The Viessmann multiplexer for colour light signals with mutliplex technology, item 5229 controls a 2-aspect or a multi-
aspect colour light signal and the appropriate distant signal. The signal must be equipped with the Viessmann multiplex
technology.
The multiplexer can operate the following signals: Viessmann Ks-signals, items 4040 – 4046 and Viessmann light sig-
nals, items 4720 – 4730. For signal aspects and addresses, refer to page 14 f.
The multiplexer identifies automatically the type of the connected signal. The configuration is done automatically. In
case that the module is connected to the Viessmann Commander, items 5300 / 5320 (connection to the LSB) it is also
enabled to execute the autoconfiguration of all further parameters (e. g. digital address). No manual adjustment is
necessary then. In combination with other digital command stations, respectively with conventional systems, options and
digital addresses can be adjusted manually by a DIP-switch (fig. 4). The features of the signal you want to operate are
programmed synchronously:
- Immediate and soft fade-over of signal aspects
- Coupled signal
- Yard or block signal logic
- Brake generator yes/no
The adjusted configuration and the latest signal aspect are saved in the module and reactivated at every new play
session.
2.1 Distant signal
The connection Vr of the module emits always the signal aspect for a separately installed distant signal.
In case that the signal connected to the output Hp is equipped with a distant signal at its own mast, this distant signal
is interconnected with the following main signal. The signal bus transmits the required information for the appropriate
aspect to the signal. The indication information for the distant signal is transmitted either by the signal bus or by the 3rd
and 4th digital address.
