Power cord socket solution?

Pages: << < (2/5) > >>

mgb:

The power switch wired to the pc would be seperate. Its best to have a main power switch like the others above have said and then you would have a seperate pc power button.
the power switch on the cord socket would control power to the whole cab, so when its off, there is no power to the smart strip.

TopJimmyCooks:

Y'all are over-complicating this.  I say if you have a momentary switch up front controlling the PC and smart strip for day to day on/off, removing the cord from the IEC socket is a better means of disconnect and a main switch is redundant extra complication extra redundant.  Get your free IEC socket off an old tv, power supply, printer, etc. and go to town.  Don't send money to the Amazons that you don't have to.

I agree with TJC. I got a IEC off a dead power supply and just wired the smartstip to it. Works just fine and I spent no money doing it.

Clearly you've never had a reach around.  ;)
