Operating device for an electrical device and method of operating an operating device

摘要

The control device has a movable control element for controlling by moving the control element. A proximity or touch sensor and a control circuit are provided to shift an actuator device (23) from a normal mode into a low-current stand-by mode. The control circuit shifts the actuator device from the low-current stand-by mode into the normal-mode in a case of identified proximity of contact. An independent claim is included for a method for operating a control device.
