- Page 2 This manual describes the use of the handwheel adapter: An adapter board that allows the construction of a handwheel for the ELS4 Basic and ELS4 Pro cycle controllers. The board must be installed in a handheld housing to obtain a complete handwheel and be protected against chips, dust and moisture.

- Page 8 SETTingS The adapter can be operated with all ELS4 Pro and Basic from software version 6. If the soft- ware is older, an update must be installed first! The rotary encoder on the adapter allows the axes to be moved stepwise but also permanently, so there is a step mode and a move mode.
- Page 9 STEP-moDE (0-3, 0=Standard) In mode 0, when the ENCODER SWITCH key is released, a large step is made with one pulse, and a small step is made with the ENCODER SWITCH key held down. Turning faster switches to the driving mode. With the switch pressed a fast speed is made, with the switch released slow speed Mode 1 is the other way round in terms of step size: without pressing the switch small steps are output, with switch pressed large steps.
- Page 10 EXAmPLE As an example, a handwheel in a Bopla BS 800 hand-held enclosure is shown here: The printed circuit board is mounted in the lower shell and is easy to screw on using 3 spacer bolts 3 mm high. A pushbutton type Schurter MCS 18 and a handheld encoder with 100 pulse revolutions are used here.
