A captured offset linear guide system for a lighting control device includes a faceplate having an elongated slot, a knob, an offset member, and a linear potentiometer. The offset member allows the linear potentiometer to be offset from the elongated slot of the faceplate to prevent dirt and dust from collecting on the potentiometer. Also, utilization of the offset member eliminates safety concerns of a tool being inserted into the internal structure of the lighting control device where it might come into contact with energized electrical components. The faceplate includes two guide rails, which hold the offset member close to the faceplate and allow for easy assembly of the faceplate to the lighting control device. Further, the faceplate includes an alignment rail, which keeps the offset member straight when moving within the slot.

La présente invention concerne un système de guide linéaire à décalage intégré pour un dispositif de commande d'éclairage, comprenant une platine qui présente une fente allongée, un bouton, un élément de décalage et un potentiomètre linéaire. L'élément de décalage permet au potentiomètre linéaire d'être décalé de la fente allongée de la platine, afin d'empêcher la saleté et la poussière de s'accumuler sur le potentiomètre. L'utilisation de l'élément de décalage permet de supprimer les problèmes de sécurité liés à l'insertion d'un outil dans la structure interne du dispositif de commande d'éclairage où il peut venir en contact avec des composants électriques sous tension. La platine comprend deux rails de guidage qui maintiennent l'élément de décalage à proximité de la platine et permettent un montage facile de la platine sur le dispositif de commande d'éclairage. La platine présente également un rail d'alignement qui maintient l'élément de décalage droit pendant son déplacement à l'intérieur de la fente.
