VIESSMANN 4016 Colour Light Departure Signal
Product Information
The product is a colour light signal of the standard 1969 type.
It is designed for use in model train layouts and dioramas. The signal is
equipped with finely detailed metal masts and power-saving LEDs with a long
lifetime. The Viessmann base socket allows for simple and fast mounting from
above (except for 0 scale signals). The product offers prototypical signal
aspects, a good price-performance ratio, and easy installation and connection.
Important 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.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the product correctly, follow these instructions:
Checking the Package Contents
Check the contents of the package to ensure everything is included:
- Signal with connection cables, resistors, and diode
- Holding ring (2 holding rings for gauge 0)
- Mounting clip (only for gauge 0)
- 2 screws (only for gauge 0)
- Board with decals (only with signals with R board)
- Manual
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 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 fit tightly in 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.
- Slide the signal foot into the intended device of the mounting clip.
- Slide the cables sidewards out of the clip.
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 mo-dels 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 base socket allows simple and fast mounting from above. This
does not apply to 0 scale signals.
Signal technology
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 si-gnal at the same mast).
These signals have different cables with the same markings.
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
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.
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.
Connection
Caution:
Resistor and diode at the cables are needed for proper function. Never cut
them off! Never cover resistor or diode with insulation ma-terial, because
they have to be cooled by surrounding air!
You can connect the signals very flexibly:
- Via switch directly to a transformer.
- To a Viessmann control module.
We recommend to use a control module (e. g. items 5210 or 5220 – 5224), which
offers more features and flexibility, smooth change of the lights, train
control, distant signal control.
