Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / ATM installation manual
English term or phrase: dial ring / dial
There are two marks on the dial ring.
The index mark at the top of the dial is used for opening the lock.
A revolution is counted each time the selected number is aligned with the opening index.
Locks are shipped on a factory setting of ‘50’.
To unlock, turn the dial to the left (counterclockwise) FOUR (4) turns, stopping on ‘50’.
Then turn the dial to the right (clockwise) until the bolt is retracted.

I think that "dial" can be translated as "perilla". What do you think? And... what about "dial ring"?

Thanks a lot!
