Question is:Â* why would you want to put a variable resistor between Z
and Y, and not a fixed value one?

I could do this in my sleep years ago, honest...


Adjust the temperature at which the LED comes on?


I'd go with that. There's a thermistor below the variable resistor and
an LED triggered by the transistor.

Presumably some kind of overheat warning device (assuming PTC sensor)?.
