It holds a single Vimar Idea module behind a panel and pairs with 1-module Idea cover plates (round or square) for a tidy, finished look on a boat switch panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module mounts from the back side of the frame, so the front face stays clean and service access is from behind the panel. The frame can be installed horizontally or vertically, and its overall size is about 65 x 29.5 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical fit for refits and new builds where you are standardizing on Vimar Idea modules and need one control point in a tight space, like a helm console, nav station panel, or an interior utility switch cluster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports 1 Vimar Idea module for panel-mounted installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Vimar Idea 1-module cover plates in round or square styles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear-loading module mounting keeps the front face neat and allows access from behind the panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be installed in horizontal or vertical orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey thermoplastic frame, approx. 65 x 29.5 mm overall size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor panel mounting applications, not intended for 60 mm round junction boxes or 35 mm DIN-rail mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-module mounting frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixing screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis frame is meant for Vimar Idea-format 1-module devices and the matching 1-module cover plates. It is for panel installations and does not include a built-in installation box, so plan for appropriate clearance and support behind the panel based on the module and wiring you are fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is not suitable for a 60 mm round flush box, floor boxes, wall ducts, or DIN-rail mounting. If you are replacing an existing frame, confirm you are staying within the Vimar Idea ecosystem so the module and cover plate alignment matches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePosition the frame on the panel, align it for horizontal or vertical mounting, and fasten it using the supplied screws (or suitable hardware for your panel material). Mount the module from the rear of the frame, complete wiring with proper strain relief behind the panel, then finish the front with the matching 1-module cover plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn boats, it is worth sealing any panel penetrations and keeping wiring runs supported so vibration does not work connections loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaterials and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thermoplastic body is a good fit for interior panels and protected locations. For washdown-prone areas, keep the frame and module protected by the surrounding panel and cover plate, and avoid harsh solvents during cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52268868010165,"sku":"QBP173772","price":4.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1297989_qbp173772.jpg?v=1771540548","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp173772","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
