I received an IM and am posting it for comments:
"I have an RTU where the disconnect is behind a panel requiring the removal of screws for access.
The electrician contends the disconnect is 'accessible for those working on the equipment' "
The reference is: 440.14 Location.
Disconnecting means shall be located within sight from and readily accessible from the air-conditioning or refrigerating equipment. The disconnecting means shall be permitted to be installed on or within the air-conditioning or refrigerating equipment.
The disconnecting means shall not be located on panels that are designed to allow access to the air-conditioning or refrigeration equipment or to obscure the equipment nameplate(s).
