Übliche, auch als Dimmer bekannte Steuergeräte sind mit einem Drehknopf ausgestattet, der zum Ein- und Ausschalten sowie zur Einstellung der Helligkeit von Beleuchtungsanlagen eingesetzt wird. Typischerweise wird dabei die Helligkeit eines Leuchtmittels der Beleuchtungsanlage durch Drehen des Drehknopfes im Uhrzeigersinn erhöht und durch Drehen gegen den Uhrzeigersinn verringert. In einer ersten Variante kann der Drehknopf einen Anschlag aufweisen, welcher nach Erreichen der Anschlagsstellung die Drehbewegung des Drehknopfes beendet. In einer zweiten Variante ist der Drehknopf ohne einen Anschlag drehbar. Das Schalten wird durch eine Tast- oder Schaltbetätigung eines im Drehknopf integrierten Tasters bzw. Schalters durchgeführt. Weiterhin sind Dimmer bekannt, die nach Erreichen des linken Anschlages des Drehknopfes einen Schalter auslösen und das Steuergerät die Beleuchtung ausgeschaltet.Common control units, also known as dimmers, are equipped with a rotary knob which is used for switching on and off as well as for adjusting the brightness of lighting systems. Typically, the brightness of a lighting device of the lighting system is increased by turning the knob clockwise and reduced by turning counterclockwise. In a first variant, the rotary knob may have a stop which ends the rotational movement of the rotary knob after reaching the stop position. In a second variant of the knob is rotatable without a stop. The switching is carried out by a tactile or switching operation of a button or switch integrated in the rotary knob. Furthermore, dimmers are known, which trigger a switch after reaching the left stop of the knob and the controller turned off the lights.
