Using A Brake Generator In Dcc-Mode; Warranty; Technical Data - Viessmann 5229 Bedienungsanleitung

The brake module and a track occupancy module can be wired to the same track sector at the same time. Thus the brake
module can also be used with block signals.

6.4 Using a brake generator in DCC-mode

You may use the brake module regardless of the signal-logic. The brake generator serves to slow down a train gradually
ahead of a stop signal. The wiring of the layout has to be done as shown in the wiring diagram of the brake module. At
least one running sector and a stop or braking sector is required. Together they have to be as long as the longest train
on the layout plus the braking distance. A track contact or track occupancy sensor is required at the place where the train
should start to brake for triggering the brake mode.
The multiplexer, item 5229 has its own input for the brake generator. If you have configured the module for use with a
brake generator, then the module will activate the relay switching the track power in the stop sector only after the train has
reached the "brake" contact. The relay does not disconnect the traction current to the following stop sector but changes
the supply from the command station or booster to the brake generator.
6.5 Digital brake module, item 5232 or brake generator in multiprotocol mode
Neither the Viessmann brake module, item 5232 nor the DCC brake generators are suitable for use with multiprotocol
systems. If you want to use the comfortable and prototypical brake function you should use only one digital data format.
Generally, this does not mean you have to convert your engines, since most mobile decoders understand several data
formats. You only have to set all decoders to the same data format, either Märklin Motorola or NMRA-DCC
Note: The marker light of the Ks-signals is always illuminated when the signal is not green (track-clear signal) and a
reduced braking distance to the distant signal has to be indicated. A reduced braking distance between distant signal and
main signal is normally always the case on a model train layout.
