Abstract:
A rotary angle encoder for controlling a drive unit, comprising a sensor (20), said sensor (20) includes a first sensor part (21) and a second sensor part (22), wherein tho first sensor part (21) is supported in a fixed manner and the second sensor part (22) is supported rotatably about a rotational axis (19) relative to the first sensor part (21) and the second sensor part (22) is adjustable about the rotational axis (19) via a coupling (33), the coupling part (33) can by brought into a first position and into a second position relative to the second sensor part (22), wherein in the first position, a rotation about the rotational axis (19) is possible between the second sensor part (22) and the coupling part (33), and in the second position, a rotation between the second sensor part (22) and tire coupling (33) is prevented,an end of the second sensor part (22) having a an adjusting tool profile that accepts an adjusting tool, the coupling (33) having a bore (40) through which the adjusting tool can be inserted to engage the adjusting tool profile, so that, in the first position, the second sensor part (22) can be adjusted relative to the coupling (33) by engagement of the adjusting tool with the adjusting tool profile.
