Signaling with LED technology and intelligent acoustics
To inform road users of an approaching train at level crossings, various light signs and signals are used. For this purpose, we offer our SSB 200L signalling system with intelligent LED technology.
The system is modular and available in single-, double- and multi-word versions. In addition to coloured signalling, discs with symbols (e.g. direction arrows) or acoustic warning devices can also be used if required.


SSB 200L intelligent LED technology
By outsourcing control tasks to the field element, the BUES 2000 enables the use of computer-controlled LED signals. These LED signals operate independently and communicate digitally with the BUES 2000. The LED signal contains several LED chains. The LEDs of the individual chains are distributed over the entire surface of the optics. This has the advantage that the failure of a chain has only a minor effect on the illumination and a reflector can be dispensed with. If there is a failure of an LED chain, the intelligent signal transmitter communicates this information to the BUES 2000.

Intelligent acoustic signalling
Road users at level crossings are usually alerted to an approaching train by means of acoustic signalling devices in addition to the light signals. Our level crossing acoustic signals guarantee an optimal acoustic warning.

It is important that the acoustic signals are clearly audible under all conditions. However, the acoustic level should not have a disturbing effect on the surroundings of the level crossing. In addition to lowering the volume level by means of a timer, our acoustic signals can automatically adjust the output volume to the ambient volume. This feature ensures optimal audibility under all circumstances. To determine the current ambient volume, the loudspeakers are used in the function of a microphone.
The digital level crossing acoustic signals can play a variety of different warning signals that are loaded onto the module via a USB interface. This feature allows the acoustic output to be customised according to the customer’s wishes.
Other features:
▪ Up to 4 signal transmitters per acoustic module
▪ Individual sound and time-shifted signal output possible per signal transmitter pair
▪ 256 different sounds can be called up
▪ Playback of individual sound files
▪ Independent failure detection
▪ Retrofittable for old systems
