2. Introduction

Viessmann semaphore signals have some considerable benefits: Prototypical slow movement and they are simple to mount and connect.
This signal has an electromagnetic drive unit, end position stop and an integrated contact for train control.
Viessmann semaphores have finely detailed metal masts, which are very sensitive. Therefore, you should never touch the masts but only the
drive unit for installation and deinstallation (fig. 1).
If you have to unmount the signal, do not pull at the signal mast. Carefully take the drive unit instead and push it up.

3. Setting up signals

Wheels and rails of the railway are made of steel. The friction between steel and steel is very low, which results in long stopping distances.
To prevent accidents caused by the long stopping distance, distant signals were built. A distant signal shows the aspect of the following main
signal on the topical way.
Distant signals are put up in stopping distance in front of the main signal. They stand on the right side of the track. Depending on the allowed
speed the distance is 400 m, 700 m or 1000 m (fig. 3).
To inform the engine driver that a distant signal is in front of him, warning beacons are put up on the right side of the track.
For more information regarding signals please see Viessmann signal book, item 5299 – German language.

4. Checking the function

Remove the signal from the package carefully. Check all functions prior to installation.
Connect the yellow wire (the one without the resistor) to one of the terminals of a 16 V transformer (AC/DC), e. g. Viessmann item 5200. Then
alternately connect each variety of the blue wires to the other terminal, but only briefly.
Connecting the cable results in the following arm positions. Never connect the blue cables at the same time to the transformer. This
may destroy the signal.
Blue with red marker: Signal on "expect stop" (Vr0).
Blue with green marker: Signal on "expect proceed" (Vr1) or on "expect proceed slowly" (Vr2).

5. Mounting

1. Saw a square hole of 15 x 15 mm at the mounting place. Before that, 4 holes of 6 mm diameter each should be drilled in the corners.
Please use the pattern which is shown in fig. 4.
