Viessmann Power Module 5215 24V Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Viessmann Power Module 5215 is an essential device for model railway enthusiasts, providing stable and powerful switching current, as well as bright, flicker-free LED lighting. It is designed for maximum switching power of digital decoders with a separate power supply. This module connects to Viessmann decoders 5211, 5212, 5231, and various digital signals. It is also compatible with decoders from other manufacturers, provided they feature a separate power supply. LED lights powered by this module illuminate without flickering and are significantly brighter than those powered by a standard AC transformer. A single power module can supply power to multiple decoders, up to 100 LEDs, and several digital signals within your model railway network.

• For maximum switching power for digital decoders with separate power supply.
• Connects to terminal E of decoder 5211.
• One module is sufficient to power all decoders in a network.
• The module provides stabilized direct current; it can also serve as a rectifier.
