Mounting - Viessmann 9500 Bedienungsanleitung

To label your signals correctly please use the attached adhesive labels: cut the number you have chosen for your layout,
remove the protective foil, and put it on the signal post (fig. 2).
For further information concerning signals refer to the Viessmann signal book (item 5299).
2.1 Operation in analogue mode
The Viessmann semaphore block signal can be used in analogue model train layouts. You may use AC or DC power supply
for operation.
The integrated controller and decoder recognizes automatically if there is AC or DC power supply or a digital signal and
adjusts to the correct operation mode.
2.2 Overload protection
In case of a mechanical overload, the decoder switches off the drive unit after a short period of time.
2.3 Feedback with RailCom
RailCom is a protocol for bi-directional communication in digital model train layouts controlled in DCC. It enables e. g. the
signal to give feedback to the digital command station regarding its current position.
Sending RailCom messages is only possible in layouts with a DCC signal at the rails and if the command station and / or
the booster(s) generate a cut-out in the digital signal. That is why it is not possible to use RailCom in a Motorola system
without DCC.
Whenever the decoder registers the RailCom cut-out, it answers the switching commands with the current position of the
signal.

3. Mounting

1. Label your signal as described in chapter 2.
2. Drill a mounting hole at the position of your signal (diameter 13 mm; see fig. 3). A convenient drill is available from
Viessmann (item 7801).
3. Thread the cable and the decoder in the cable from above through the mounting hole.
4. Fasten the signal post either with the attached srews (see fig. 4) or with the fastening clip (see fig. 5).
3.1 Default settings
The factory setting for the digital address is 1 (DCC protocol). Please find further configuration options in the CV table on
the pages 10 and 11.
3.2 Analogue operation
In case that you use the Viessmann signal on analogue layouts, use a push button panel (e. g. item 5547).
Connect the signal and the push button panel as shown in fig. 6. Use a suitable transformer (e. g. item 5200).
3.3 Digital operation
This decoder can be controlled as an accessory decoder. However, it also offers the option to be controlled with a locomo-
tive address. This is particularly useful for modellers who do not have a command station with easy access to accessories.
In the digital mode of operation, you use a digital command station to control the signal. Please read the following two chapters to
learn how to set a digital address and observe fig. 7.
Connect the signal to your digital layout as shown in fig. 8.
3.4 Configure with DCC command stations
To use the signal in a digital environment, at first you have to assign a digital address. To control the signal with a DCC
system, observe the following instructions:
1. Switch off the digital system (e. g. emergency off). There must not be any power at the rails.
2. Connect only the blue wire with the red marker and the power supply wires of the signal (brown and yellow, see fig. 8)
to the rails – i. e. only 3 cables!
3. Switch on the digital system.
4. Connect the so far open second blue wire (greeen mark) to the track signal, too (fig. 7).
5. Use the digital command station to send a switch request for the desired DCC address. The decoder receives the request,
registers the address as its own and as a confirmation, it switches the signal.
The signal is now ready to be used with the new digital address. Whenever you want to change the address, you just have
to repeat the described procedure.
3.5 Programming on the programming track
The configuration of the signal can also be accomplished by connecting it directly to the programming output of the command
station. Simply connect the terminals of the decoder to the programming output of the command station as shown in fig. 8.
The address of the drive is programmed in two CVs. In CV 1 you set the lower byte (LSB) of the address, in CV 9 the upper
byte (MSB).
