Abstract
An operator control apparatus, in particular a remote control apparatus is provided, comprising a splashproof housing and at least one operator control device which comprises an input assembly having a pushbutton head manually displaceable along a longitudinal axis, a rotary member rotatable about an axis of rotation and a coupling mechanism via which a linear movement of the pushbutton head is translatable into a rotary movement of the rotary member, wherein a signal transmitter is held to the rotary member in a rotationally fixed manner, which signal transmitter interacts with a sensor element arranged in the housing. In order to improve the operator control apparatus in such a manner that the input assembly may be mounted with ease and, if required, replaced with ease, the input assembly is insertable in a mounting direction into an exterior recess of the housing and is removable from the recess when required.
