dpaengineer Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hi guys, I'm after a keyswitch. Needs to be ok for outdoor installation and pretty tamper-prrof.

dpaengineer Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Stand alone keyswitch or to replace an existing keyswitch in a panel 57965[/snapback] Good Point. Its stand alone. Basically, going on the outside of a garage to eliminate entryexit times. Plus panel will be hidden as so it cant be smashed off wall.

bri Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 CEF tend to be expensive. Try making your own, simple I.P 65 enclosure, 20mm hole cutter, etc. Any other local electrical wholesaler should beat CEF's prices. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpaengineer Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just seen This And This At Maplins. They both look ok to me, what u guys recon. How wounld be best to mount these. The unit will mount onto 2 inch thin=ck wood. I was thinking a small metal plate drilled through with small (ish) coach bolts.

Where will i pick 1 up? I'm in Donny, any ideas? Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice idea, always best to appear professional and technical though and follow the IEE Regs. All should be mechanically and electrically protected in a suitable enclosure. Even at low voltages wood is seen as a fire hazard.Unless youre talking about a door frame here??? you didnt specify? still should have an enclosure though whether it be architrave or otherwise.

Guest Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nice 1 mate. Where will i pick 1 up? 57975[/snapback] Er, Gardiners, oddly enough. Or, CPC, in the access section. Metal boxed keyswitches with\without LED indicators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) 57977[/snapback] It'a an external wooden frame that a electronic roller shutter is mounted to. there is already 1 key on mounted on there for emergency release for door. Would be nice if this met regs. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
