If someone wants to enclose a TV/monitor in a MDF+perspex cabinat units with no access to remote sensor or power button, insufficient ventilation at the back, are there any electrical regs/PAT type rules that this would contravene?
Surely, every electrical item must have its access to power switch (even via an access slot under lock and key) readily accessible in case of mishaps.
Nah just pull the plug out! grin. Brian
The switch would be on the incoming power cable.
Whatever itwas would overheat so not a clever thing to do.
Assuming, of course, that whoever built the case, presumably to stop people fiddling with the settings, didn't enclose that as well.
I think that was exactly their intention, but they've done it so well even support engineers cant access it.
If there's insufficient ventilation then a switch is unnecessary. The device will switch itself off without intervention. Probably permanently. :)
You mean your support engineers don't carry angle grinders?
:-)
I did a few of these for the prison service. I drilled holes to let the sound out and more holes at the top to let the heat out.
