Viessmann 4912 TT Signal Lumineux
Product Information
The product is a colour light signal that is designed for installation in model train layouts and dioramas. It is a detailed model of the type 1969 of the Deutsche Bahn. The signal is equipped with finely detailed metal masts and power-saving LEDs with a long lifespan. The signal is easy to mount and connect, and it comes with a patented base socket for simple and fast installation.
Product Usage Instructions
Before using the product for the first time, please read the following instructions carefully:
Important Information
Read the entire manual before using the product and keep it for future
reference.
Safety Instructions
- Caution: The product has detailed reproduction of the original and may 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 and do not use it if damaged. Ensure the power supply is switched off when mounting the device and connecting the cables. Only use VDE/EN tested special model train transformers to prevent the risk of burning cables.
Using the Product for Its Correct Purpose
- The product is intended for installation in model train layouts and dioramas.
- It should be connected to an authorized model train transformer or a digital command station.
- The product should only be used in dry rooms and for its intended purpose. Any other use is not approved and may result in damage for which the manufacturer is not responsible.
Checking the Package Contents
Check the contents of the package for completeness, including the signal with
connection cables, resistors, diode, holding ring(s), mounting clip (if
applicable), screws (if applicable), board with decals (if applicable), and
manual.
Introduction
- Viessmann colour light signals offer prototypical signal aspects, a good price-performance ratio, and easy mounting and connection. They are detailed models of the type 1969 of the Deutsche Bahn.
- The signals feature finely detailed metal masts and power-saving LEDs with a long lifespan.
- The patented base socket allows for simple and fast mounting from above, except for 0 scale signals.
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, such as green for a green LED and red for a red LED.
- The cable with a black marking and a diode instead of a resistor is the common pole for all LEDs (positive pole).
- Some signals may require multiple LEDs with the same colour to generate specific signal aspects. In these cases, there will be different cables with the same markings.
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.
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 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.
- 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 damage resulting from the improper use of this product.
Checking the package contents
Check the contents of the package for completeness:
- Signal with connection cables, resistors and diode
- Holding ring (2 holding rings at gauge 0)
- Mounting clip (only at gauge 0)
- 2 screws (only at gauge 0)
- Board with decals (only with signals with R board)
- Manual
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 years! Keep these instructions!
