Members thgoebel Posted August 8 Members Share Posted August 8 According to recognized European rules, light switches are installed at a height of 1100 to 1200mm above the floor. If you mount a wall display in an existing flush-mounted socket, this means that you bend over to operate the WD (unless you are vertically challenged). A 400mm long flex cable promises a remedy, which is exchanged for the 80mm long original cable between the display and plug-in adapter: It is a 16-pole flex cable AWM 20624, which is offered in different lengths at relevant dealers. The longest type I found has 400mm in length. Maybe there are even longer ones? In any case, the WD can be installed in approx. 1500mm height over floor ON plaster. The adapter circuit board is removed from the display and attached to the power supply. The power supply can then be mounted in a flush-mounted socket and hidden with a blind cover of the respective switch series. For the (glued) attachment of the display part, a mounting frame in 3D printing would still have to be made so that the display can be fixed in the usual way with the screw (which then sits on the top edge). The flex cable can be glued to the wallpaper and with a strip of wallpaper (repeating pattern!) to be covered. Because the flex cable is paper-thin, it will be almost invisible. A small side effect: Due to the distance of the heat-generating power supply, the temperature display of the display also improves if you use the internal sensor... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
