Easy assembly control panel

1. A control panel assembly comprising:

an enclosure;

a pilot device coupled to the enclosure;

a control panel positioned at the enclosure, including a panel interface quick coupled to the pilot device, thereby allowing control communication between the pilot device and the control panel;

where the pilot device is a visual notification beacon including a beacon housing secured to an external side of the enclosure; and

the enclosure including an opening, where the beacon housing is positioned over the opening; and the panel interface includes an extension that extends into the opening and is quick coupled to the visual notification beacon without the use of tools.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , where the control panel is a pre-assembled control panel secured to the enclosure.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , where the extension includes a light positioned at an extension end, where the extension end extends through the opening into the beacon housing thereby providing a light source to the beacon housing.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , where the visual notification beacon includes a beacon electrode electrically coupled to a light positioned within the beacon housing, and the extension member includes an electrode contact that mechanically mates with the beacon electrode.

5. The assembly of claim 4 , where the beacon electrode is positioned inside the beacon housing.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second pilot device where the second pilot device is an audible device coupled to an external side of the enclosure.

7. The assembly of claim 6 , the enclosure including an opening, where the audible device is positioned over the opening; and the panel interface includes an extension that extends to the opening and is quick coupled to the audible device without the use of tools.

8. The assembly of claim 7 , where the audible device includes a speaker on the external side of the enclosure, and contact spades on the internal side of the enclosure, and where the extension comprises a mechanism for receiving the contact spades for quick coupling the audible device to the control panel.

9. The assembly of claim 8 , where the mechanism for receiving the contact spades includes spring loaded terminals.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a second pilot device, where the second pilot device is a switch.

11. The assembly of claim 10 , the enclosure including an opening, where the switch is positioned over the opening; and the panel interface includes a switch member on an interior side of the panel.

12. The assembly of claim 11 , where the switch includes a push-button switch coupled to an exterior side of the enclosure, that cooperates to move the switch member on the interior side of the enclosure.

13. A method of assembling the control panel assembly of claim 1 comprising:

providing the enclosure having the pilot device coupled to an external side of the enclosure; and

positioning the control panel in the enclosure, thereby quick coupling the control panel to the pilot device without the use of tools.

14. The method of claim 13 , comprising securing the control panel to an interior side of the enclosure.

15. The method of claim 14 , where the control panel is a pre-assembled control panel.

16. A control panel assembly comprising:

an enclosure;

a first pilot device and a second pilot device coupled to the enclosure;

a control panel positioned at the enclosure, including a first panel interface quick coupled to the first pilot device and a second panel interface quick coupled to the second pilot device, thereby allowing control communication between the first pilot device and the control panel, and the second pilot device and the control panel; and

where the first pilot device is a visual notification beacon including a beacon housing secured to an external side of the enclosure, and the second pilot device is a switch.

17. The assembly of claim 16 , further comprising a third pilot device coupled to the enclosure.
