Setting device with rotating actuator and illuminated index display
First Claim
1. A setting device with a rotating actuator and a switch, an illuminated index display assigned to the rotating actuator on which a value can be read which is manually set at the rotating actuator, the switch being operable such that the manual setting at the rotating actuator can be overridden by actuating the switch,wherein a light device is provided in addition to the rotating actuator, wherein the switch, in addition to having an actual switching function, is operable for switching over between illumination of the index display and operation of the light device, and wherein at the rotating actuator the illumination of the index display is activated when the rotating actuator is in a manual mode and the light device is activated when a different mode is set by the actuation of the switch.

Abstract
A setting device includes a rotating actuator, a switch, an illuminated index display on which a value which is manually set at the rotating actuator is assigned to the rotating actuator and, by actuating the switch, the manual setting at the rotating actuator can be overridden. To improve the display of the setting device, a light device is provided in addition to the rotating actuator. The switch, aside from its actual switching function, is constructed for switching over between the illumination of the index display and the operation of the light device. The illumination of the index display is activated when the rotating actuator is a manual mode, and the light device is activated when a different mode is set by the actuation of the switch.
