5545 Push-button panel 4-aspect

The module offers an integrated digital decoder (Märklin-Motorola, NMRA-DCC) and is used to control 2 colour light signals (one home signal and one distant signal) with LEDs and a common plus pole or bulbs, provided they do not draw more than 200 mA in total. Therefore, it is suitable for all signal scales 0 up to Z (except for the Viessmann signals with multiplex-technology). It can be activated in conventional mode via the push-button panels items 5545, 5546 and 5547 or via a digital signal. It is equipped with Viessmann Signalbus and can be configured for the following applications:- 2 or several aspect colour light signal: A 2-aspect home signal with the aspects proceed and stop requires the push-button panel item 5547 (for 4 signals) or a digital address. A signal with 3 or 4 aspects with the additional aspects proceed slowly and shunting permitted requires the push-button panel item 5546 (3-aspect, 2 signals) resp. item 5545 (4-aspect, 2 signals) resp. a digital operation 2-aspect.- Distant signal or block signal: When configured as a block signal the module responds automatically to the status of the corresponding track sector. This works only in conjunction with track occupancy detectors with continuous output. Per signal sector up to 2 track sectors are required. In this mode the module changes automatically to proceed if the following sector is clear (unoccupied). If one of the two sectors is occupied, the module switches to stop. - Own distant signal or distant signal on the same mast: The signal module controls the main signal and the corresponding distant signal or the distant signal of a following main signal mounted on the same mast. In that case the distant signal will show the dark aspect when the main signal shows stop. - Interrupt track supply or switch on brake generator when stop aspect is shown: With the relay for automatic train control item 5228 the module can stop trains automatically either by interrupting the track voltage in front of the signal or – more prototypical – with the digital brake module item 5232 (Märklin Motorola) or a brake generator (for NMRA DCC). This makes it possible in both analogue and digital mode to control the track by sections.Signal with aspects stop and proceed slowly: If required you can configure the module to permit these two aspects only. In that case the module can be activated via the push-button panel item 5547 or a digital address. Regardless if the module is triggered by push buttons or track contacts the logic always assures that the red button has preference if two or more devices provide conflicting commands.

The module is equipped with an integrated digital decoder. Decoder recognizes Märklin-Motorola format and NMRA-DCC. The module is suitable for one home- and one distant signal with Viessmann multiplex-technology, e. g. Ks-signals items 4040 – 4046 and standard light signals with multiplex-technology items 4720 – 4730. Equipped with Viessmann signalbus and Viessmann SpeedBus and can be controlled by push-button panels, items 5545 – 5547 by track contacts or by digital switching commands. Viessmann SpeedBus provides comfortable connection to the Viessmann Commander with automatic registration. Equipment and configurability of this module are identical with that of the control module for light signals without multiplex-technology item 5224. The module is able to control block distance sections and can automatically stop the train with train control module item 5228. This can be done off interrupting the track coltage in front of the signal or, even more prototypical, in case of digital systems by switching to the braking module item 5232 (for Märklin-Motorola) or braking generator/ABC-braking (for NMRA-DCC). The signal connection is done by a single plug-in. Authentic smooth transition of signal aspects. It is equipped with button for address setting, DIP-switch for configuration and LED status display.

Suitable to connect all scales of Viessmann standard colour light signals. With this module you can control the aspects of colour light signals without using relays. Optional connection of one signal with more aspects or two signals with 3 aspects. Special technology allows prototypical smooth changing of the signal lights. Optional blanking (distant signal switched off while main signal on the same mast shows “stop” position). One control module replaces up to 7 relays which are required with conventional technology. Without train control, so best used with computer-controlled digital layouts. Controlled by push-button panels items 5546 or 5547, single switch, track contacts or digital decoders are possible.

Useable for all 4-aspect colour light departure signals scale 0 to Z (except signals with multiplex-technology). The module provides all 4 block signal aspects (Hp0, Hp1, Hp2 and Sh1). Authentic smooth switch of signal aspects. Integrated contact for train control. By stop showing signal the track in front of the signal is switched off. Control by universal push-button panel item 5545, single button, switching tracks, track contacts or digital magnet decoder. Additional output to control distant signal by control module item 5220.
