    In the clip, the first signal you'll see is all green with an upcoming 90kmph speed limit sign but it also has an active 1000hz magnet. Is this right? Because I keep thinking this signal is safe and I end up in an emergency stop just before coming into Wuppertal Hbf.

    Also just before the clip finishes, there is an upcoming 60kmph speed limit sign which also has an active 1000hz magnet and I keep stuffing up that part as well.

    Thanks, TheRealisticAussie

    Green distant and main signal. Dont know why the magnet became active. Was the signal red when you pulled into the station, before changing to green when you locked the doors? Unless the 1000hz is keeping you at 45kph for your final approach to Wuppertal?

    No, the signal wasn't red when coming into Wuppertal Hbf it was yellow with two white dots something like this.

    Also when I locked the doors at Wuppertal Hbf the signal didn't change either. My final approach was to Wuppertal Steinbeck which did have a red signal and a 500hz magnet. Also, Wuppertal Hbf had a 50kph speed limit, not 45kph. The signal before Wuppertal Hbf is shown below.

    I'm not familiar with the route as I haven't purchased RRO....but I'm going to take a guess that the 1000Hz magnet activated because the line speed limit was changing from 100km/h to 90km/h and it wasn't PZB acknowledged ? (I know all speed reductions at 100 and below need to be ack'd. It's hard to say as I need to see about 1min before that video started to get some context.

    Is there a 9 in a yellow triangle just before that station accompanied with a magnet ? I can see there is one at the signal which you ack'd...but before that video was there another just like it which you may have missed ? Then again, the 1000Hz magnet wasn't active at the station at the start of the video so it may be a bug

    Yes, there was a 9 in a yellow triangle before the station but there was no magnet. Here's a longer video below if that helps.

    I think the magnet is active in both to 90kph & 60kph cases because you have speed limit signs below 100kph, which you correctly acknowledged.

    You need to Acknowledge every Speed Limit Change to below 100 Kph under PZB-Protection.

    So if you come up to a Signal that announces a Speed Drop to <100 kph (It doesnt matter if it shows Green) You need to Acknowlegde it. This is especially Important with Ks-type Signalling, as Some Signals tell allready the Setting of the Next Main Signal with no Advanced Signal in Between.

    Same goes fore just a Speed reduction. Rule of Thumb here: If you see a Speed anouncement Sign with a PZB Magnet next to it, then you need to Acknowledge this.

    No I had yellows and a 500hz actvation going towards a red. Figured it out now though. Press PZB override at the point of passing the red signal. The service is 13:57 Hagen to Wuppertal intermodal.

    I always keep my speed under 25 km/h at 500hz but will try the mentioned service torrow. I had PZB override only used one or two times at all after contacting the dispatcher (that told me to proceed with limited speed)
