We have used the design you are proposing, removable modules buried inside with a front door requiring a tool to open. We also include the "general" service warning advising of hazardous voltages, etc. We have our medical equipment UL Classified to UL 2601 (based on en60601-1)and had no problem with the classification. Hope this helps.
-----Original Message----- From: Paul Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 1999 5:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Removeable Module requirements Equipment designed to the requirements of EN60439-1 requires that any removeable modules are only removeable with the use of a key or tool. That seems pretty well acceptable to me as we are protectingainst unintentional contact with potentially live parts. What if the modules are not locked in place but are covered by a door that is only opened with the use of a key (easy) or a tool (not so easy). Is this an acceptable alternative or do we need to provide 'infinite' barriers to prevent contact or is a 'lockable' door with warning labels acceptable? The only electrical device the user could contact behind the door are circuit breakers, there are no fuses etc. Any thoughts?, Thanks, Paul Excite -- Control Yourself.
