Abstract

In a switching and regulating apparatus, in particular time switch, having a digital display (LCD unit (20)), operator panel (18) for coded keys, electronic subassemblies, circuit-breaking devices, if necessary relays for controllable, selectable and displayable functions and operating conditions of outputs that are to be controlled or switched preselectively and have means for power supply and connection, a body (21) having electronics and an assembly for power supply and connection is equipped capable of being joined to a foot part in the usual fashion, to be precise is constructed as an upper part (22) having a keypad (103), an LCD unit (20), connectors (220), an associated circuit board (142) and cover plate (201), side walls and at least one stop as a single-piece holding unit, the combination of these modules as subgroups satisfying the conditions for an unobstructed view of selected parts and the reliable, perfect functioning of handy operability when, alternatively, a) the LCD unit and printed circuit board with connectors are mounted in a preloaded locking, self-retaining and self-adjusting fashion without auxiliary components using a press fit by packing in the keypad, cover plate, LCD unit and printed circuit board by means of a springy metal sheet supported resiliently on the keypad or b) non-active functional elements are safeguarded against operating errors by means of covering housing parts or by means of a selected arrangement of the keys, so that the selected functions of said keys are assigned in a manner proof against confusion through a geometrical and structural arrangement. <IMAGE>
