A rotary sensor assembly comprises an indicator member adapted to rotate and having first and second axial positions, input means adapted to be actuated by movement of the indicator member, and a processor adapted to receive input from the input means. The indicator member comprises a plurality of actuator structures, and the input means comprises one or more switches adapted to be actuated by an actuator structure. Zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the first to the second axial position, this corresponding to a first switch pattern, and zero or more switches is/are actuated when the indicator member is moved from the second to the second axial position, this corresponding to a second switch pattern. Based on input from one or more switches corresponding to the first and second switch patterns, the processor is adapted to determine rotational movement of the indicator member.
