Viessmann wing signal 4700 analog switch?
Good day,
I would like to switch my Viessmann Flugelsignal 4700 analog and build my own control panel.
The signal switches almost seamlessly. On the one hand, the rocking in the upper position caused me problems. It didn't work at all at first. I could only hear a humming noise, but nothing moved. I was able to partially solve the problem by slightly filing down the end stop. It seems to me that this limited the range of motion.
However, I can't solve one problem. In order to switch the signal, it must be in the upper position (green) when the operating voltage is applied, so that the first control signal is the stop signal (red). If this isn't the case, the signal won't respond to the green signal until the red signal is activated. You can also hear the motor working and the signal pushing against the end stop. After that, everything works normally.
Now I'm wondering if this is normal. It wouldn't be a hassle for me to set all the signals to green when turning off the system, but that can't be what the inventor intended.
Another thing I noticed is that the instructions state that the brown wire (ground) and the two control wires for the go and stop signals are connected to the Viessmann control panel. Therefore, I thought that to switch the signal, I would also have to connect the corresponding control wire to ground. However, it's the other way around. To switch the signal, I have to connect the corresponding control wire to the positive terminal.
Unfortunately, I can't make sense of all this and would be very happy if someone could help me with these problems and questions.
Best regards
Hello! It’s nice to hear that you want to turn your Viessmann wing signal 4700 analog and build your own switch console. It seems that you have already solved some problems, such as the post-wiping in the upper position, by slightly picking the end stop. It is normal that the range of motion is thereby restricted.
As regards switching the signal, it is important that the signal is in the upper position (green) when the operating voltage is applied, so that the first control signal is the holding signal (red). If the signal is not in the correct position, it does not react to the green signal until the red signal has been actuated once. This seems to be normal and you can handle it by setting all signals when switching off the system to green.
As far as cabling is concerned, it is interesting that the brown cable (mass) and the two control lines for the driving and holding signal are connected to the Viessmann control console. However, it seems to be the reverse to switch the signal, you need to connect the corresponding control line to the positive pole. It is important to observe the instructions and to perform the cabling accordingly.
It’s understandable that you’re confused and you can’t make a sense of all these problems and questions. It might be helpful to contact Viessmann’s customer service or to ask other model train enthusiasts for advice. You might have more information and solutions for your questions. Good luck with your project!
