Field of use

• In assembled state with cover fitted, the signalling column complied with 

Degree of Protection IP 54!

• In order to maintain shock-hazard protection (VDE 0106) on the part of the 

terminals,  proper connection of the live conductors to these terminals is 
essential!

• The signalling column is constructed and tested in accordance with 

DIN VDE 0660. To ensure safe operation, the following notes should be 
observed:

At close range, the sound pressure of the audible signal
devices is capable of causing damage to human hearing.

General principle of operation

The signalling column converts electrical signals into:
• Visible signals (steady light, LED steady glow

, stroboscopic light

,

blinking light

, LED blinking light

, LED occulting light

)

and/or

• Audible signals (buzzer

, siren

)

When mounting, ensure that there is a flat, level surface (gasket!) and ade-
quate space for the complete signalling column. The accessories are fitted 
using M4 screws. The hole spacing will be found in the drilling pattern diagram 

(Fig. IV), 

and the dimensions are given on the bottom of the fixing element.

Methods of fixing

There is a choice of the following types of mounting:
• Floor mounting 

(Figs. IIa, IVa)

• Bracket-mounting 

(Figs. IIb, IIc, IIf, IIg, IVb)

• Tube-mounting 

(Figs. IId, IIe, IVb)

 

Mounting the signalling column

You can mount up to 5 (4 in the case of AS-i, 

Fig. IIf

) signalling devices on each 

connecting device. There is a choice of light signal devices and audible signal 
devices. If you use an audible signal element, this will form the closure, as it 
has an integral end closure.
Make sure that all signal elements on one signalling column receive the same 
supply voltage!
• Plug the signal device in so that in each case the white marks on base and 

signal device are in alignment 

(Fig. Va)

, then

• twist the device in the direct indicated by the arrow 

(Fig. Vb)

 until it enga-

ges 

(Fig. Vc)

- The arrow is embossed on the signal device.

• Fit an end cover on the outside signal device 

(Fig. VI)

 in order to obtain 

Degree of Protection IP 54.

General care

Clean the signalling column with a mild detergent which contains no abrasive. 
Do NOT use thinner. Keep away from soluble machining oil!

Maintenance

The signalling column should be removed for this purpose of changing indivi-
dual signal devices or replacing defective bulbs (bayonet fitting). To do this, 
twist signal device in the opposite direction to the arrow and lift the device out. 
The bulb used must 

not

 exceed a maximum length of 42 mm.

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PROCEEDING

WITH ANY WORK ON THIS EQUIPMENT.

Mounting

Step 1:

Carefully pull off the end cover

 (Figs. Ia, Ib

). Do NOT damage or 

lose the gasket between the end cover and the connecting device.

Step 2:

Dependent on the type of mounting desired, feed cable through the
• Base and then

(proceed as Step 2.1) or pass through the

• Bracket and then

(proceed as Step 2.2) or pass through the

• Tube and then

(proceed as Step 2.3)

Step 2.1:

• Screw the connecting device together with the gasket onto the 

unit 

(Fig. IIa) 

(proceed as Step 3).

Step 2.2: • Screw 1 connecting device 

(Fig. IIb)

 or 2 connecting devices 

(Fig. IIc)

 with gasket onto the bracket in question.

• Screw the bracket together with connecting device onto the unit 

(proceed as Step 3).

Step 2.3:

• Fix the connecting element onto the tube (with foot) with the aid 

of the crosshead screw 

(Fig. Ib)

.

• Screw the foot together with tube onto the unit.

Step 3:

Connect cable 

(Figs. IIIa, IIb)

.

It is important to note the rated voltages of the signalling
devices! Excessively high voltage will result in damage!

Step 4:

Assemble the signalling column.
