Due to their signal aspects daylight signals are fascinating accessories for any model train layout. Even a few of them can bring a layout to life. Viessmann offers you a wide range of signal types. The prototypes are the standard types used on most main and branch lines as well as the compact signals introduced in 1986. Even the smallest details have been recreated. Thus all our daylight signals have:
It goes without saying that the signals have prototypical signal aspects, are easy to install and can be used for train control with the aid of our control modules.

Train movements The rules regarding the location of daylight signals are hardly different to the ones for semaphore signals. A red aspect indicates "stop" (HpO), a green aspect indicates "proceed" (Hpl) while green and amber at the same time indicate "proceed slowly" (Hp2). Distant signals are switched accordingly:
The signal aspect "No train or shunting movement" (HpOO) is now also valid for main signals with two red lights next to each other as HpO. With the aspect "Shl" only one red light may be tuned on.
|
|
Shunting Signal, If the shunting signal is close in front of a running signal then both signals are combined on one large signal head. In this case "train and shunting stop" (HpOO) is also shown by two red horizontal lights. The "shunting proceed" aspect is two white lights on the upper right side and a red light to the left. The running signal aspects for "proceed" and 'proceed slowly" are shown in the conventional way. |

Obscured Aspects If the distant signal is mounted on the same post as the main signal (e. g. entry signal with distant signal), it is switched off or obscured when the main signal shows stop. The distant signal aspect is only shown if the running signal on the same post shows "Hpl" or "Hp2" obscured.

The following overview shows a simplified sequence of signals along a main line. The direction of travel is from top to bottom starting with the distant signals. For your information we have added a column listing the appropriate Viessmann control modules for each signal type. Further information regarding the use of these modules can be found in the relevant chapter "Electronics" for analogue operation and digital systems. |

Hobby daylight signals The Viessmann Hobby series of daylight signals generally do not require any control modules. The electronics needed are located in the base of the signal. You can activate these signals directly with the push button panels 5546 (for three-aspect-signals) and 5547 (for two-aspect-signals), via track contacts (e. g. Viessmann 6840) or with a digital decoder 5211 (Motorola format) respectively 5212 (DCC) or 5260 (SELECTRIX). |

Digital daylight signals with multiplex technology The new Viessrnmn signals with multiplex technology require special control signals that are only supplied by the corresponding control modules. 4040 - 4046 (Ks signals): control module 5227 4720 - 4728: control module 5229 These modules can be activated in analogue and digital mode. For automatic train control the train control relay 5228 is also required. Standard daylight signals The Viessmann standard daylight signal series do not have any integral control and therefore are available at a lower price. We offer a comprehensive range of control modules and control panels for these signals - you will be able to find the most suitable module for any application. The schematic clearly shows which module is best suited for your application.
