Fig. 14 Table potentiometer output
Draw wire sensors with potentiometer output are connected according table, see Fig. 14.
All potentiometers must only be used in a voltage divider circuit. Using them as a variable resistor, destroys the element. Ensure that
the maximum current through the viper is limited.
i
Use potentiometer only as voltage divider, not as variable series resistor!
