Installation and operating instructions

• When selecting a resistor variant, consider the desired control range and the electrical stress in the circuit.
• For proper operation, connect the outer terminals as fixed ends of the resistance track and the middle terminal as a runner.
• When mounting in a panel, ensure a mechanically secure fit using the threaded part of the potentiometer.
• Do not exceed the rated power of the component to avoid overheating the resistance path and shortening its service life.
