	~~{{EnglishConstruction}}~~		This page describes the representation of signals on the panel, their meaning and appearances as well as the control actions in relation with the signals. Fundemental information related to signals is available in the articles [[Basics]] and [[Routes]]. So if terms on this page are not explained, the explanation is likely to be in these articles.


	There are a variety of signals on the panel. Almost always, signals are located on a track.		There are a variety of signals on the panel. Almost always, signals are located on a track.

Grundsätzliches zum Thema Signale gibt es in den Artikeln [[Grundlagen]] und [[Fahrstraßen]]. Wenn hier also Begriffe auftauchen, die nicht weiter erklärt werden, steht die Erklärung vielleicht in diesen Artikeln.

	~~Sperrsignale besitzen eine graue Rangierstraßentaste~~, ~~Haltmelder~~, Sh 1~~-Melder und Sperrmelder~~. ~~Kann das Sperrsignal Ziel einer Zugstraße sein, gibt es zusätzlich eine Zugstraßentaste sowie den runden~~ D-Weg~~-Melder~~. ~~Wenn das Signal in Verbindung mit einem Gruppenausfahrsignal Beginn einer Zugstraße sein kann~~, ~~existiert neben der Zugstraßentaste auch der quadratische Festlegemelder~~. ~~Die beiden letztgenannten Varianten können auch~~, ~~wie~~ in ~~der Abbildung, kombiniert sein~~.		Shunt signals have a gray signal button, Stop indicator, Sh-1 indicator and a Signal Locked indicator. A shunt signal will also have a round Overlap route indicator (D-Weg melder) next to it, can be the end of a train route. If the shunt signal can be the begin of a train route, it will also have the square Route Locked indicator. The latter two options can also be combined, as in the image.

	~~Ein Signal mit dieser etwas sperrigen Bezeichnung ist ein Hauptsignal, welches aber kein~~ Hp 0 ~~zeigen kann~~. ~~Es besitzt daher keine Signaltaste und neben dem Fahrtmelder nur einen Kennlichtmelder~~. ~~Das Vorsignal~~, ~~welches am gleichen Mast angebracht ist~~, ~~besitzt einen zusätzlichen Melder. Dieser zeigt das Leuchten des weißen Zusatzlichts am Vorsignal~~ an. ~~Dadurch wird dem Tf signalisiert~~, ~~dass das Vorsignal nur ein Wiederholer ist und im verkürzten Bremswegabstand zum nächsten Hauptsignal steht~~.		A signal with this somewhat strange designation is a main signal that can not show Stop (Hp 0). Therefor it does not have a signal button either. It only has a ''Proceed indicator'' and a ''Kennlicht indicator''. The distant signal, which is located on the same mast, also has an additional indicator. This shows white light on the distant signal, which is to indicate the distant signal is just a repeater of at short braking distance from the next main signal.

	~~An Signalen mit Selbststellbetrieb kann auch dieser gestört sein~~. ~~Dann ertönt ein~~ (~~recht penetranter~~) ~~Summer und der Selbststellbetriebseinschaltmelder des betroffenen Signals blinkt~~. ~~Dies kann der Fall sein, wenn~~		Fleeting signal can also have anomalies or defects. In that case an (annoying) buzzer will sound and the signal's ''Fleeting enabled indicator'' (SB) will flash. This can happen when:
	*~~der Selbststellbetrieb die Fahrstraße nicht einstellen kann, weil diese in Konflikt mit einer bereits eingestellten Fahrstraße liegt~~,		*the signal can not fleet, as such that the route can not be set because of a conflict with a route that has been set earlier;
	*~~ein Zug mit einer Lenkziffer verkehrt~~, ~~für die der Selbststellbetrieb keine Fahrstraße einstellt oder~~		*a train has a steering number, that can not be handled by the fleeting signal, and thus can not set a route;
	*~~ein technisches Problem vorliegt~~.		*a technical problem exists.
	~~Zunächst kann man versuchen~~, ~~die Fahrstraße manuell einzustellen~~. ~~Funktioniert dies nicht~~, ~~schaltet man den Selbststellbetrieb aus und versucht es später noch mal~~. ~~Zeigt dies immer noch keinen Erfolg~~, ~~bleibt nur noch das manuelle Sichern des Fahrwegs und Fahrt auf Ersatzsignal oder Befehl~~.		The first thing to try, is to set the route manually. If that does not work, then switch of the fleeting and try again later. Does this not work either, then the only remaining options is lock a route manually and applying the subsidiary signal or a issueing a written order.

	~~Wichtig~~: ~~Nach Beheben der Störung nicht vergessen, den Selbststellbetrieb wieder einzuschalten~~!		Important: do not forget to enable fleeting again after resolving the anomalies!

	Distant signals which, depending on the situation (i.e. not permanent), are used as a distant signal repeater or are located at short braking distance from the corresponding main signal, also have a yellow indicator that lights accordingly. Distant signals, which are attached to the mast of a main signal remain dark if this main signal shows the Stop ascpect; this also applies to the indicators on the panel.

The square Route Locked indicator lights white, wenn a train route starting from the signal has been set and locked. Its lighting is one of the necessary conditions to get a main signal showing the Proceed aspect. As soon as the indicator lights up, a set route can only be revoked using the [[Revoke Train Route Button]] (FHT).
