1. Important information

Please read this manual completely and attentively before using the product for the first time. Keep this manual. It is part of the product.

1.1 Safety instructions

Caution:
Risk of injury!
Due to the detailed reproduction of the original and the intended use, this product can have peaks, edges and breakable parts. Tools are
required for installation.
Electrical hazard!
Never put the connecting wires into a power socket! Regularly examine the transformer for damage. In case of any damage, do not use
the transformer. Make sure that the power supply is switched off when you mount the device and connect the cables! Only use VDE/EN
tested special model train transformers for the power supply! The power sources must be protected to avoid the risk of burning cables.
1.2 Using the product for its correct purpose
This product is intended:
- For installation in model train layouts and dioramas.
- For connection to an authorized model train transformer (e. g. item 5200) or a digital command station.
- For operation in dry rooms only.
Using the product for any other purpose is not approved and is considered inappropriate. The manufacturer is not responsible for any dam-
age resulting from the improper use of this product.

1.3 Checking the package contents

2. Introduction

Stop signals belong to the group of shunting drive signals and are used in many ways. Normally these signals are located on the right hand side
of the track when viewed in the direction of travel.
The prototype differentiates between train and shunting movements. While train movements are taking place from station A to station B via
the main line, shunting is generally only permitted within the train station, in loco sheds resp. similar.
Home signals are only used for train movements, stop signals for shunting movements.
Stop signals are generally used within a platform, namely on those tracks, which are mainly used for shunting. They are located at the start
of a typical shunting route. They are only necessary within the station areas e. g. at the end of the station tracks and the branch of sidings.
Stop signals should be as close to the end of the track as possible, that is directly in front of the shunting limit signal or at the beginning of the
turnout. The distance between the tracks should be at least H0 51 mm, TT 37 mm resp. N 28 mm to allow sufficient space for the signal.
With the semaphore stop signal you can replicate the prototype down to the last detail. The signal bar, mounted in front of the disk, can be
moved at a prototypically slow speed by the compact drive.
The drive is equipped with an electrical contact for train control. Thus the locomotive only starts moving once the signal is set to Sh1 (driving allowed).
If a track is used for train and shunting movements (e. g. on station tracks), the stop signal is located directly in front of the home signal. For
semaphores the following rule applies: The stop signal has to be set to Sh1 for train and shunting movements (that is "driving allowed").
On the model train layout only the contacts of the stop signal are used for train control if the semaphore stop signal is located in front of the
semaphore exit signal. The contact of the home signal is not used in this case.
Useful information: The signal book, item 5299, German version.

3. Marking of stop signals

Adhesive decals are supplied with the signal. Simply cut out the desired sign and attach it to the signal box after removing the protection foil.
Here are some rules for the correct marking of the stop signals:
Stop signals are marked with the number of that track, where they are located. If several stop signals are located at the same track, they have
an additional Roman number, which is slightly raised (e. g. 4 I , 4 II , 4 III ...).
On combined home stop signals a sign "Hs" is placed at the left upper corner of the signal box (fig. 1).

4. Checking the function

Remove the signal from the box carefully. Check the function before mounting.
Connect the yellow cable to one of the terminals of a 16 V transformer (AC~/ DC=, e. g. item 5200).
Then alternately connect the blue cables and the other terminal, but only briefly.
The signal alternately switches from Sh0 to Sh1 (see fig 2).
Caution:
Do not connect both blue cables at the same time. This may destroy the signal.
