hello everyone im just about done my project i have two things to wire up and i don't know which two are the cold and which one is the hot.


i know for photometers you have two cold and one hot.

here is the data sheet that i found but it doesn't tell me anything.

Centre pin will be the wiper 

If you want increasing Vout (centre pin) moving in a clockwise direction, looking from the front, Vlow goes to the left pin, Vout ( with respect to the left pin, Vlow ) comes from the middle pin and Vhigh goes to the right pin


If you want decreasing Vout (centre pin) moving in a clockwise direction, looking from the front, Vhigh goes to the left pin, Vout ( with respect to the left pin. Vhigh ) comes from the middle pin and Vlow goes to the right pin

Thank you Mr smiley i found that out by playing around with it, but thanks again for letting me know if i didn't do that
