A few weeks ago there was a discussion where several people said they had wired out their NVR switches, and I expressed my disapproval on safety grounds.
Lo and behold, barely 3 weeks later I was faced with this option.
Background first.....
My old extraction system broke beyond repair. It did not come with an NVR and because it was a screamer in operation I enclosed the whole thing in a sound deadening box. As I had no access to the simple on / off switch supplied with it I had wired its socket to two switches at opposite ends of the working area. It worked the same as a hall light can be switched on or off either from upstairs or down. That saved me walking many steps every day.
The new axminster craft blower I replaced it with DOES have an NVR, and I am not prepared to lose this safety switch so I had to do a bit of thinking :shock: :shock:
I also did not want to go the "remote control pad" option because I have enough trouble keeping track of keys and phones, I would never be able to locate the fob without an hours searching every morning. #-o #-o :roll:
So heres the answer that works for me;
The unit is plugged into a wall socket as normal, but I broke into the motor live in wire, and diverted it to my two switches.
I have a minor extra step to take each day when I go into the workshop, I turn on the wall socket for the extractor and press the NVR switch, but the unit does not start up. It sits in idle mode untill I click one of the switches near to the machine I'm using. Business as usual. If the power did go off it would trigger the NVR and the machine could not restart by itself.
I make a habit of walking around and clicking all socket switches off when I leave every night so theres no extra work involved there, just the one / two combination at start of play.
This might encourage few to wire in their NVR's again hopefully (hammer) (hammer) 8)
