Abstract
An electronic module for a powered apparatus includes a circuit board comprising conductive pads coupled to a power source and a sense portion including a first output pad and a second output pad; and a variable-speed actuator assembly including an actuator and a conductive wiper moveable in sliding contact with the circuit board. The wiper includes a first leg arranged to slidably engage the sense portion and a second leg arranged to slidably engage at least one of the conductive pads. The first output pad and the second output pad are longitudinally aligned with the conductive pads. The first output pad outputs a first voltage signal indicative of an ON state of the powered apparatus and the second output pad and the second output pad outputs a second voltage signal indicative of a desired operational speed of the powered apparatus.
