2. Introduction

Viessmann semaphores have some outstanding benefits: Prototypical slow arm movement, and they are simple to mount
and connect. This signal has an electronic drive unit which controls speed and movement of the arm. Integrated switching
outputs can be used for train control. At the end of the downward cycle the signal bounces up and down a number of times
before settling into position (see chapter 4).
Viessmann semaphores have finely detailed metal masts, which are very sensitive. Therefore you should never touch the
masts but only the ground plate for installation and deinstallation (fig. 1).
If you have to unmount the signal, do not pull at the signal mast. Carefully seize the ground plate and gently push up the
electronic assembly through the mounting hole.
Adhesive signs are supplied with the signal. Simply cut out the desired sign and attach it to the signal box after removing
the protecting foil. Here are some rules for the correct marking of the semaphore signals:
Signals are set on the right side of the track in Germany. Two-aspect signals can be used in stations and along the route.
Signals are marked with an alphanumeric combination. The name of the signal gives information about its position and
direction of the route.
Block signals: These signals are labeled with arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, ...). In direction of the kilometre count, the signals are
counted with odd numbers (e. g. 1, 3, 5, ...). In the opposite direction the signals are counted with even numbers backwards
(e. g. 6, 4, 2, ...).
Entry signals: In direction of the kilometre count of the route, the signals are labeled with the letters "A" to "E", in the opposite
direction "F" to "K".
Exit signals: In direction of the kilometre count of the route, the signals are labeled with the letter "N", in the opposite direc-
tion with "P".
The letter of an entry or exit signal is followed by the number of the track to which is belongs.
