Vimar Idea Rondo 3-Module Cover Plate, Technopolymer, Chrome 36

Overview

The Vimar VM16763.36.01 is a 3-module Rondò cover plate in technopolymer with a Chrome 36 finish for Vimar IDEA modular wiring devices. It measures 123 x 82 x 9 mm and is used as the visible outer plate that frames a 3-module device group in a bulkhead, console, or furniture panel.

On board, this is the piece that keeps your switch or outlet installation looking finished and consistent, especially when you are standardizing a boat on one plate style across the cabin, helm, or nav station. The round Rondò profile gives you a softer look than a square plate while still covering the working edge of the panel cutout.

Key features

• 3-module cover plate format for Vimar IDEA modular device layouts
• Rondò round plate shape for a softer, rounded appearance on panels
• Technopolymer construction with Chrome 36 finish for a bright, reflective look
• Overall dimensions: 123 x 82 x 9 mm (4.84 x 3.23 x 0.35 in.)
• Works well for grouping common helm and cabin functions such as lighting, pumps, outlets, and accessories when installed with compatible IDEA components

Compatibility and fit

This plate is for a 3-module IDEA arrangement, so it matches installations built around the Vimar IDEA modular system and a 3-module mounting frame. It does not replace the electrical mechanism itself, and it will not match other series or different module counts, so confirm your existing frame and module layout before ordering.

If you are refitting a panel, check that the visible size (123 x 82 mm) covers the previous cutout and that there is enough flat surface around the opening for the plate to sit cleanly without rocking on curved liners or molded textures.

Installation and setup

Fit the plate after the wiring device and its mounting frame are secured and aligned. On boats, it helps to square up the mechanism before tightening fasteners so the finished plate sits straight relative to surrounding labels and breaker panels. Always de-energize the circuit at the source and verify it is dead before working behind the panel.

Care and cleaning

For routine cleanup, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry it so salt residue does not build up on the chrome finish. Avoid strong solvents and abrasive pads, which can dull the surface over time in high-touch areas like the helm.

Use on board

This plate is a good match for boats using Vimar IDEA devices where a Chrome 36, round-profile look is wanted in visible spaces like the helm console, salon, galley panels, or stateroom switch banks. It also helps keep a consistent appearance when adding new functions during an electronics or interior refit.
