  • a switching unit such as a switch or button, is required, no matter how short it is activated, for example by pressing an actuator, a minimum on-time of more than has a critical 250ms.

However, if the actuator of the signaling unit is pressed longer than the 400ms, there must be no delay, ie the operating time must not be automatically extended by a further 400ms. Such a "follow-up" would be distracting to the user as it would always be dimmed 400ms longer than the actuator was operated.
