2 Intended use
Absolute position indicator with hollow shaft suitable for direct shaft mounting. Actual and
target values are indicated via the backlit two-row LC display. A direction indicator (arrow) is
blended in if the actual value deviates from the target value including the adjustable target
window. The direction of the arrow indicates the direction of shaft movement necessary to
reach the target. Additionally, various visualization tasks can be realized by means of two bi-
color LEDs.
