Daylight signals

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:
-
LED's for trouble free operation
-
Photo etched brass masts,
-
Painted in the original finish
-
Finely detailed maintenance platforms and signs;
-
Our compact signals are completely made of metal!
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.

DB daylight signals -
signal aspects and placing of signals
 |
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:
>
VrO (two amber lights);
Hpl >
Vrl (two green lights);
Hp2 >
Vr2 (upper green light and lower amber
light).
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.
Some of the most important uses of Light signals are
explained on this page graphics. (links will open a new page out of our web
site. When finish, just close that window and you will be here again)
