- Never put the connecting wires into a power socket.
- Regularly examine the transformer for damage and do not use it if damaged.
- Ensure that the power supply is switched off when mounting the device and connecting the cables.
- Only use VDE/EN tested special model train transformers for the power supply to prevent the risk of burning cables.
- The product is intended for operation in dry rooms only.
- Using the product for any other purpose is not approved and may result in damage for which the manufacturer is not responsible.

Product Usage Instructions
Signal Technique – Assigning Light Signal Cables The cables of the colour
light signals have coloured markings and a resistor. Each LED cable has a
corresponding marking to identify its color (e.g., green LED cable has a green
marking, red LED cable has a red marking, etc.). The cable with the black
marking and a diode instead of a resistor is the common pole for all LEDs
(positive pole).
Some signals require multiple LEDs with the same color to generate specific
signal aspects, such as a departure signal with a distant signal at the same
mast. These signals have different cables with the same markings.

Safety instructions
- 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 prevent the risk of burning cables.
Using the product for its correct purpose
This product is intended:
- For installation in model train layouts and dioramas.

Introduction
Viessmann colour light signals provide some considerable benefits:
Prototypical signal aspects, a very good price-performance-ratio and they are
easy to mount and to connect. The signals are detailed models of the type 1969
of the Deutsche Bahn.
The colour light signals are equipped with finely detailed metal masts.
The signal heads have power-saving LEDs with nearly unlimited lifetime.
The Viessmann patented base socket allows simple and fast mounting from above.
This does not apply to 0 scale signals.
Signal technique
Assigning light signal cables
- The cables of the colour light signals have coloured markings and a resistor. The cable of a green LED has a green marking, the cable of a red LED has a red marking and so on. The cable with the black marking and a diode instead of a resistor is the common pole for all LEDs (positive pole).
- Some signals need more than one LED with the same colour to generate specific signal aspects (e. g. departure signal with distant signal at the same mast). These signals have different cables with the same markings.
- In fig. 1 you can see the allocation of the signal LEDs to the outputs of the control modules resp. the decoders. For more information regarding signals please see Viessmann signal book, item 5299 – German language.
Signal aspects
Fig. 2 shows the aspects of the colour light signals. Not every signal can
show every aspect.
Marking of the signals
Adhesive signs are supplied with the signal (only with signals with R board).
Simply cut out the desired sign and attach it to the signal box after removing
the protective foil. The Viessmann signal book item 5299 provides helpful
information.
Mounting
Mounting of the H0, TT, N and Z signals
- Drill a hole at the mounting place. Diameter: H0, TT: 5,5 mm / N, Z: 4 mm.
- First insert the connection cable from above through the mounting hole. Then put the signal with the patented base socket inside.
In case the base does not fit firmly in the hole, slide the holding ring onto the base from below.
The signal has to be set tight on its position but you can unmount it easily.
Mounting of the gauge 0 signals
Mounting on the layout
- Drill a hole (Ø 2,5 mm) at the mounting place.
- First insert the connection cable from above through the mounting hole. Screw the signal to the plate using the enclosed screws.
In case the signal does not fit firmly in the hole, slide the holding rings onto the mounting screws from below.
Mounting on the carpet
Place the mounting clip at the mounting point next to the track by placing the part with the indentations under the rails. Now you have the right distance to the track
Model building item, not a toy! Not suitable for children under the age of 14
