Multiturn potentiometer

A removable operating button is plugged into the multiturn potentiometer at the factory. The setting of the contrast sensor can 
thereby be performed manually without the need for a tool. If this is not desired, the operating button can be pulled off. A screw-
driver is then needed for the setting. 

Color changeover

Contrast sensor KRT18B enables simple changeover of the detection color on the device. This is necessary if the contrast 
between the mark and the background is not sufficient for reliable detection with the set color.

Examples for optimum detection colors:

In general, the optimum detection color can also be found by selecting the color for the which the largest signal difference is 
displayed between mark and background on the bar graph.
