Patent number: 9535138Abstract: An electronic device, comprising” a housing; a magnetic element guideway, the guideway enables positioning of an accommodated magnetic element in at least two magnetic element positions relative to the housing. A control and evaluation circuit in a chamber with two Hall sensors for registering at least one component of a first local magnetic and for providing, a signal, which depends on the local magnetic field registered at the first site. The two Hall sensors have relative to the housing a defined position, wherein the control circuit is suitable based on the signals to detect whether a magnetic element is present in the gateway, and in case yes, based on at least one of the two signals, to detect whether the magnetic element is located in the first defined magnetic element position or has been moved from this position.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Endress + Hauser GmbH + Co.
