The LED Banner Repeater Signal from Variable Message Signs Limited is a lineside repeater signal that provides high optical performance and extended reliability from utilising LEDs to create clearly interpreted aspects. Fully approved by Network Rail / HMRI for use either for new installations or to replace existing low-reliability types such as fibre-optics, it is offered in two versions: a) 2- state white and b) 3-state white/green.
The BRS is a repeater type signal used to provide a train driver advance notification of the state of the next colour light signal. The signal is derived from displaying a black bar on a circular white background. This signal has 2 states; a diagonal bar and a horizontal bar. Where a third aspect is required, this is achieved from a diagonal black bar on a circular green background.
