More Info would be helpful. 1) What is the "object" (motor? Luminaire? Condenser? Breaker Panel, etc.)? 2) Is this "object" just hanging in free air? 3) Is it on a shelf? 4) Is it above a suspended ceiling? 5) Does it have a Controller? 6) Does it have a unit switch?
I think an answer to a couple of these questions would narrow it down as to where the Switch/Disconnect may be placed.
