It is a small metal box close to an outside air or heat conditioning system that supplies the supply voltage to that unit. Inside that box is a pullout removable contact to remove the connections for servicing or other problems.
The IRC states that an AC unit should have "A readly accessable disconnect within sight from unit as the only allowable means".
Portable appliance testing (PAT) is basically a method of testing (using a device and by sight) that any electrical equipment, cables, devices, machinery is safe to use.
There will always be a way to dismount the fixture. Look for some screws, they are usually hidden from sight.
Yes, if the switch is sufficient for the circuit requirements and it is installed in sight of and within 50 feet of what it disconnects.
It is usually expressed the other way around. The electrical disconnect has to be within 20 feet and line of sight of the equipment you are working on.
condensing unit, elecric panel, electrical service enterance, grounding rod
No. The service disconnect must be within sight or within 25 ft. of the AC motor.
D, In California an unfused disconnect switch shall be installed within sight of any grounding rod as per NEC code for the following reasons: A) To definatively locate the grounding rod, B) To allow for service including troubleshooting, removal for cleaning and/or replacement of a defective grounding rod during periods of unstable atmospheric activity.
The definative answer to this question should be located in the NEC, but I would say within sight and reach of the condensing unit.

An electrical disconnect has to be within 20 feet and line of sight of the equipment you are working on. This electrical rule was brought about because most times the distribution motor starter is in another part of a building in an electrical room. If you can not see that the motor starter is locked out or it is more that 20 feet distance from the motor an isolation switch has to be added to the circuit at the motor. This allows anyone working on the motor to lock it out near the motor. If the motor starter does not get locked out and inadvertently starts automatically, the local isolation switch will stop the current flow and provide a safety factor to the person working on the motor.
At Sight Means, "As soon as seen, or presented to sight, esp. payable at sight, to shoot a person at sight.".

You measure them, using a laser sight, if required.
The eyes are the organs of the body used for sight. They detect light and convert it into electrical signals that are interpreted by the brain as visual images.
