1)  The accuracy class implies that taken separately both the linearity deviation as well as the rotational 
signal uniformity is either lower than or equal to the value of the accuracy class. The accuracy class is 
not to be identified with the classification following DIN 51309 or EA-10/14. 
2)  Zero point can be set to 5V by pressing the Tera-button. 
3)  The factor of transmission declines linearly up to a maximum of 0.5% / 10K with rising temperature 
due to the reduction of the elasticity.
