1. A remote control device for an electric equipment unit, comprising; a remote control comprising at least one button for actuating an equipment unit by remote transmission means located partly in the remote control and partly in an interface of the equipment unit,a dongle for insertion into a control interface of an equipment unit, which interface is connected to a mechanism of the equipment unit by a connector, said dongle being controlled by the remote control for transmitting control orders from the remote control to the mechanism of the equipment unit, said dongle for being stowed in a designated location inside the housing of the remote control:wherein the housing comprises a case for being transformed into two different positions, namely an open position and a closed position, said case additionally comprising means for preventing the case from being in the closed position if said, dongle is not in its designed location within the housing;said case comprising two parts slidable with respect to each other, a latch slidably fitted within one of said parts for sliding between two latch positions, said latch being movable by said dongle when the dongle is inserted into and removed from the housing, so that when the dongle is removed from the housing the latch is in an active position wherein the latch cooperates with the other part of the case to prevent slidable relative movement of said two parts, and when the dongle is inserted into the housing the latch is in an inactive position. 2. The control device according to claim 1, additionally comprising a pairing device for communicating between the remote control and the dongle, for enabling the remote control to identify the equipment unit to be commanded. 3. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the transmission means comprise wireless transmission means. 4. The control device according to claim 3, wherein the transmission means comprise a ZigBee short-range radio system, and pairing means comprise a MAC address of the ZigBee radio system. 5. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the permits access to an actuating button of the remote control when the case is in the open position, and prevents access to when the case is in the closed position. 6. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the latch comprises a bridge slidably mounted; inside the first part of the case, and a latching member, the dongle being slidable between the first part of the case and said bridge when the dongle is inserted or removed, and cooperating with said bridge for moving the bridge between a first position in which the latching member is inside the housing, and a second position in which the latching member is salient from the housing thereby interfering with the housing of the second and preventing relative sliding of the two parts, said latch being biased to the inactive position by a spring. 7. The control device according to claim 6, wherein the dongle cooperates with a ramp on the bridge. 8. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the housing comprises indicating means for informing the user of receipt of a control order from the equipment unit. 9. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the equipment unit is a medium-voltage switch, circuit breaker, controller or protection relay, for controlling a circuit breaker or a switch. 10. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the remote control is powered by an energy generating system without batteries, the energy being provided by pressing or releasing the button. 11. The control device according to claim 1, additionally comprising: a local control unit located inside an electric equipment unit, and comprising two buttons for, respectively, commanding opening and closing of the equipment unit,a two-position switch for authorizing either the local control or the remote control, and a connector for receiving a dongle for enabling remote control of the equipment unit. 12. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the indicating means comprises an LED in the housing. 13. The control device according to claim 1, wherein the remote control and its dongle have complementary shapes.
