	~~Hinsichtlich der Bedienung unterscheidet man zwischen ''wärtergesteuerten''~~, ~~''zuggesteuerten'' und ''signalgesteuerten'' Übergängen~~. ~~'''Wärtergesteuerte Bahnübergänge''' werden immer seltener~~. ~~Hier ist ein Wärter vor Ort für die Sicherung des Bahnübergangs verantwortlich~~. ~~Bei '''zuggesteuerten Bahnübergängen''' wird der Ein~~- ~~und Ausschaltvorgang durch einen Gleiskontakt ausgelöst~~, ~~der in ausreichendem Abstand vor dem Bahnübergang angebracht ist~~. ~~'''Signalgesteuerte Bahnübergänge''' werden dagegen eingeschaltet~~, ~~wenn vom deckenden Signal aus eine Fahrstraße über den Bahnübergang eingestellt wird~~. ~~Das deckende Signal kann ein Signal im Bahnhof oder ein Blocksignal im [[Grundlagen#Zentralblock\|Zentralblock]] sein~~. ~~Ausgeschaltet wird ein solcher Bahnübergang zugbewirkt durch einen Gleiskontakt~~, ~~also indem der Zug die Fahrstraße hinter sich auflöst~~.		Regarding the operation, a distinction between guard-controlled, train-controlled and signal-controlled crossings. Guard-controlled level crossings are very rare. Here a guard on site is responsible for securing the level crossing. In the train-controlled crossings activation and deactivation of the level crossing is done using track circuits/contacts, which are mounted at a sufficient distance from the level crossing. Signal-controlled level crossings are activated, as soon as a route is set from the covering signal over the level crossing. The covering signal can be either a signal at the station or a block signal in the central block. The level crossing is deactivate by a track contact, that is as soon as the train releases the route behind it.

	~~Folgende Überwachungsarten sind zu nennen~~:		The following types of monitoring exist:
	*bei zuggesteuerten Übergängen:
	**'''Überwachungssignal (ÜS)''' (''früher: Lo''): Ein Überwachungssignal zeigt dem Triebfahrzeugführer an, ob der Bahnübergang ordnungsgemäß gesichert wurde. Die Mitwirkung des Stellwerkspersonals ist dabei nicht nötig (und auch nicht möglich).
	**'''Fernüberwachung (Fü)''': Der Zustand des Bahnübergangs wird an ein Stellwerk gemeldet und ist dort auf dem Stelltisch einsehbar. Das Stellwerkspersonal muss nur im Störungsfall reagieren.
	*bei signalgesteuerten Übergängen:
	**'''Überwachung durch Hauptsignal (Hp)''': Das deckende Signal kommt erst auf Fahrt, wenn der Bahnübergang ordnungsgemäß gesichert wurde. Übergänge mit dieser Überwachungsart werden komplett vom Stellwerk aus gesteuert und bieten umfangreiche Steuerungsmöglichkeiten.

	~~Auf den Stelltischen sind also nur~~ Fü- und Hp-~~Bahnübergänge zu finden~~. ~~Die Bedienung wird~~ in ~~den folgenden Abschnitten erklärt~~. ~~Es ist möglich~~, ~~dass ein und derselbe Bahnübergang für verschiedene Fahrtrichtungen oder verschiedene Gleise unterschiedliche Überwachungsarten aufweist (zum Beispiel aus einer Richtung~~ Fü~~, aus der anderen~~ Hp). ~~Dann sind die Bedienelemente~~ ''~~beider~~'' ~~Überwachungsarten auf dem Stelltisch angebracht~~.		*for train-controlled level crossings:
			**'''Monitoring auxillary signal (ÜS)''' (''formerly Lo''): A monitoring auxillary signal indicates the driver that the level crossing has been properly secured. The involvement of the signalbox staff is not necessary (nor possible).
			**'''Remote Monitoring (Fü)''': The state of the level crossing is reported to the signal box and can be seen on the panel. The dispatcher must react only in case of failure.
			*for signal-controlled crossings:
			**'''Monitoring by the main signal (Hp)''': The covering main signal will only show the ''Proceed'' aspect when the level crossing has been properly secured. Level crossing of this type can be completely controlled from the signal box and offer extensive control possibilities.

			Only Fü- und Hp-level crossing can be found on the panel. The operation is explained in the following sections. It is possible that different types of monitoring are applied for different directions or different tracks on one and the same level crossing (for example, from one direction Fü and from the other direction Hp). In that case, the controls for ''both'' types of monitoring are placed on the panel.

	~~Nach dem Einschalten muss ein Bahnübergang '''freigemeldet''' werden~~, ~~damit das deckende Hauptsignal auf Fahrt kommen kann~~. ~~Der Ablauf der Freimeldung unterscheidet sich je nach Art der Einschaltung und des Bahnübergangs~~ (~~Vollschranken oder nicht~~):		The level crossing must be secured when it has been activated and closure procedure has been completed. Once the level crossing is secured, the covering main signal can show a Proceed aspect. The way of securing the level corssing depend on the type (full barriers or not):

	*''~~gleisbezogen~~, ~~keine Vollschranken~~'': ~~Die Freimeldung erfolgt automatisch nach korrektem Einschalten des BÜs, der BÜ-Freimelder leuchtet auf~~.		*''track-related, without full barriers'' : Securing takes place automatically after correct activation and closing. The Level crossing Secured indicator will be lit.

	*''~~gleisneutral~~, ~~Vollschranken~~'': ~~Nach dem Einschalten zeigt der Vorsichtsmelder Dauerlicht~~. ~~Er erlischt durch Drücken der~~ BÜFT ~~zusammen mit der~~ BÜT~~, allerdings leuchtet kein Freimelder auf~~. ~~Dies geschieht erst, wenn eine Fahrstraße über den BÜ eingestellt wird~~.		*''track-independet, with full barriers'' : After activation the Attention indicator will be lit continuously. It will go off when the BÜFT is pressed together with the BÜT. however the Level crossing Secured indicator will stay off. The last indicator will go on ocne a route is set over the level crossing.

	Kann ein BÜ nicht regulär freigemeldet werden, weil die BÜ-Sicherung nicht korrekt arbeitet oder die Signalübertragung zum Stellwerk gestört ist, so kann nach manueller BÜ-Sicherung z. B. durch Posten die [[Bahnübergangshilfsfreimeldetaste]] benutzt werden.

	*'''~~Fehlermelder~~ (Fe)''': ~~Leuchtet dieser Melder~~ (~~gleichzeitig ertönt ein Summer~~)~~, ist ein Fehler~~ in ~~der Stellwerkstechnik aufgetreten~~, ~~der aber auf die korrekte Funktion des BÜs keine Auswirkungen hat~~. ~~Besondere betriebliche Maßnahmen sind daher nicht zu ergreifen~~.		*'''Error indicator (Fe)''': This indicator lights (at the same time a buzzer sounds) when an error has occurred in the interlocking system, but which no effect on correct funtioning of the level crossing. No specific operational measures needed.
	*'''~~Funktionsmelder~~ (k Stö)''': ~~Dieser Melder leuchtet ständig und zeigt die Funktionsfähigkeit des BÜs an~~.		*'''Functioning indicator (k Stö)''': This indicator lights steadily, indicating that level crossing functions correct.
	*'''~~Störungsmelder~~ (Stö)''': ~~Der Störungsmelder leuchtet rot~~ (~~und~~ k Stö ~~erlischt~~)~~, wenn eine Störung~~ an ~~den Sicherungseinrichtungen des BÜ aufgetreten ist. Gleichzeitig ertönt ein Wecker~~. ~~Wie in diesem Fall verfahren wird, steht weiter unten~~.		*'''Malfunction indicator (Stö)''': The malfunction indicator lights up red (and k Stö goes off) if a failure of the safety systems of the level crossing has occurred. Simultaneously an alarm clock sounds. The operational procedure for this situation is written below.
	*'''~~Einschaltmelder~~ (Ein)''': ~~Der Einschaltmelder leuchtet, wenn der BÜ eingeschaltet~~ (~~geschlossen~~) ~~ist~~. ~~Er blinkt bei Zeitüberschreitung~~.		*'''Activated indicator (Ein)''': This indicator lights when the level crossing has been activated (closed).

If the reason is unknown, a technician will have to be notified and the level crossing is considered being not sufficiently safe (level crossings being closed too long could lead that others, i.e. road traffic, enter the level crossing). In that situation you need to order the train driver to halt at the level secures, and let him secure the level crossing himself. If the Stö-indicator lights together with a blinking Zü-indicator, you need to act according to the operational procedure for malfunctions.
