- the relay switch described above can be completely or at least part of them in the housing 1 1 of the control unit 10 integrated.
- relay switches and semiconductor power switches such as MOS-FETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors) or IGBTs (insulating gate bipolar transistors) come into consideration.
- an acoustic sensor as a detector 23 is also conceivable, which detects, for example, when gripping the operating unit 10 or when removing the operating unit 10 from a holder noise that indicates an operation intent of the operator.
- the lighting means 24 is associated with a timer in the form of a switch-off, which interrupts the non-actuation of a control button 12, 13 after a preset period of time to the light source 24, even if the Detector 23 wants to operate the bulb 24. Only when a key 12 to 16 is pressed is made, the interruption of the power supply to the bulb 24 is released.
- the time span is typically 30 seconds.
- the lighting means 24 can be switched on and off.
- a gradual turn-off is preferred in which the light gradually becomes darker within a short time of up to 3 seconds and then goes out.
