LCLS Lightweight Colour Light Signal
The VMS range of Lightweight Colour Light Signals employs an innovative low profile design
which does not require any external hoods. The compact integrated signal allows all 3 signal
colours to be displayed through a single 280mm diameter aspect.
There are 3 standard configurations: 110Vac current proved, 110Vac volt free contact proved, and
24Vdc volt free contact proved.

PLJI Position Light Junction Indicator
The VMS lightweight Position Light Junction Indicator uses an array of 3 x 15 high intensity
white LEDs to produce a clear solid bar of light. Its modular construction allows any combination
of aspects to be built from standard parts. An aluminium body and low profile design minimises
the weight of these large signals.
Power consumption 110V AC Current Proved Nominal 124W (1125mA) / Min 82.5W (750mA) / Max 165W (1500mA)

BRS Banner Repeater Signal
The VMS Banner Repeater Signal is a lightweight low profile signal designed for new installations
or to replace existing low-reliability types such as fibre-optics. The compact integrated signal
weighs only 15Kg and is offered in two versions: a 2-state white with horizontal and diagonal
aspects, and a 3-state with white horizontal, white diagonal, and green diagonal aspects.
The signal is available with either a MIL5105 connector wired to T00036 or for maintenance
replacement with a Westinghouse connector.

MARI Miniature Alphanumeric Route Indicator
VMS LED miniature route indicators incorporate a full matrix of LEDs to allow a large number of
different aspects to be displayed, including letters A-Z, numbers 0-9 and PRI aspects positions
1-6. The Miniature Aspect Route Indicator can be configured to display any combination of these
aspects in up to 3 characters. Up to 6 such combinations of aspects can be configured in each
signal.

As a supplier of road signs as well as rail signals, VMS also provides systems and signals for
motorists and pedestrians. We can provide a complete vehicle warning system for a level
crossing which can include:
LED Vehicle activated variable message signs
Vehicle detections systems (inductive loop / radar)
Stand alone power systems (solar / wind)
Radio communications
Remote mast
Remote cabinet
VAS mast
VAS (Vehicle Acivated
Sign)
VAS cabinet
52
The following table provides the technical data for a level crossing system which will
automatically activate an LED road sign to warn approaching drivers that there is a queue of
vehicles on the far side of the crossing.
This system uses inductive loops to detect stationary vehicles, when a queue is detected a
wireless data link is used to activate the sign to warn approaching drivers of the hazard. This
system is powered using a combination of solar and wind. It is also capable of sending out voice
messages to a mobile phone to alert maintenance staff to any faults or low power states.

Support structures
The VMS lightweight support system comprises a common plinth to which posts of varying
lengths and configurations can be attached. Instructions on how to install the support system
and information about tools to be used is available on request.
Plinths
The plinth weighs 70kg and can by lifted by a minimum of two people using the side cleats as
lifting points. M24 nuts used to secure the plinth to the foundation are NOT supplied and will
need to be independently procured. The grade and material of these fixings will need to be
appropriate to the studs provided by the foundation.
58
Support structures
Posts
The post is made of aluminium and is supplied to the required length. The bolts to mount the
post to the plinth are provided with the plinth and nothing else is required.
The normal method of delivery is to provide the posts with all signals and cables pre-installed.
59
Support structures
Lightweight adjustable bracket

The lightweight adjustable bracket is designed to make VMS
lightweight LED signals backwardly compatible with existing
signal structures. This bracket is designed to mount onto a
standard signal base as defined in NR-SIG-10062. The slotted
holes in the base allow the signal to be sighted horizontally
and the bracket also allows vertical sighting to be adjusted 6
degrees up and 6 degrees down in 1 degree steps.

Lightweight non-adjustable bracket

The lightweight non-adjustable bracket is designed to make VMS
lightweight LED signals backwardly compatible with existing signal
structures. The main application for this bracket is ground mount
signals. This bracket is designed to mount onto either a signal
base as defined in BRS-SM 65/10, or a ground mount post with a
mounting arrangement as defined in BRS-SM 75. The slotted holes
in the base allow the signal to be sighted horizontally and there
is no vertical adjustment. For ground mount signals the vertical
adjustment is normally built into the post mounting plate.

Sighting tool
The sighting tool is designed for the precise alignment of VMS
rail signals. It can be mounted onto any VMS lightweight post to
allow alignment to be done at ground level.
Material Aluminium body with Stainless steel fixings

Weight 10 kg
Paint finish Yellow powder coat
Features Handle to assist in Signal / post alignment
Option A - Sighting tool with extension arm
Where there is an obstruction
directly obstructing the view of
the sighting tool, an optional
extension arm can be used
to offset the sighting tool by
600mm to the left or right.
Option B - Sighting tool with adapter bar
Where a VMS lightweight
CLS has been mounted to
a conventional structure an
adapter bar can be used to
allow the sighting tool to be
mounted on the top of the
signal.

Bird spikes
Plastic bird spike strips are available for most VMS
lightweight signals.
The bird spikes are fitted into existing mounting holes on
the top of the signals. All stainless steel fixings are provided.
