2. Introduction
Viessmann semaphores stand out for their prototypical slow arm movement and they are simple to mount and connect. This signal
has two electromagnetic drive units, en position switch-off and an integrated contact for train control.
Viessmann semaphores have finely detailed metal masts (fig. 1). Therefore, you should never grasp the masts but only the drive
unit for mounting or dismounting. If you have to remove the signal, do not pull the at signal mast. Carefully grasp 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 introduced. A distant signal shows the
aspect of the following main signal on the topical way. You will find the aspects of the distant signal in fig. 2.
Distant signals are put up in the stopping distance in front of the main signal. They stand on the right side of the track. Depending
on the speed limit the distance is 400 m, 700 m or 1000 m (fig. 3).
To inform the engine driver that a distant signal is ahead of him, warning beacons are put up on the right side of the track.
For more information regarding signals please refer to Viessmann signal book, item 5299 – German language.
4. Checking the function
Carefully remove the signal from the box. Check all functions prior to installation.
Connect the yellow cable to one of the terminals of a 16 V transformer (e. g. item 5200.)
Then alternately make contact between the blue cables and the other terminal, but only briefly. Never connect the blue cables
at the same time to the transformer. This may destroy the signal.
The signal switches into its respective aspects (fig. 2):
Blue with red marker: Signal on "Expect Stop" (Vr0)
Blue with green marker: Signal on "Expect Proceed" (Vr1)
Blue with yellow marker: Signal on "Expect Proceed Slowly" (Hp2)
