I think it just means an ILS system that for various reasons does not take you right down to the runway for landing, but you have to break off and complete a visual landing. This is when the localiser is significantly misaligned with the runway for terrain reasons, or presumably the GS is also affected. As far as I am aware, the signals are just normal ILS transmissions.
