Vimar By-me Plus 1-10V LED Dimming Actuator, 120-230V, 30 mA Output, 2.5A Changeover Relay, DIN Rail Mount, 3 DIN Modules, IP20

Overview

The Vimar VM01975 is a DIN-rail lighting actuator that sends a 1-10 VDC control signal (30 mA max) to dim compatible LED drivers, and it also includes a 2.5 A 120-230 V AC changeover relay for switching the circuit when needed.

It uses a 120-230 V AC auxiliary supply (50/60 Hz) and connects to a TP BUS line (29 V) for system control. This marine version has been submitted to cyclic salt mist and vibration testing, which is useful when the equipment cabinet lives on a boat that sees constant movement and salty air.

This is an indoor, panel-mounted device (IP20) intended for protected locations like an electrical locker, helm cabinet, or technical space, where it can stay dry and shielded from spray.

Key features

• 1-10 VDC control output (30 mA max) for LED drivers that accept analog 1-10 V dimming.
• Auxiliary supply: 120-230 V AC, 50/60 Hz, plus TP BUS connection (rated BUS 29 V).
• Built-in changeover relay contacts (C/NO/NC), rated 2.5 A at 120-230 V AC for switching resistive loads or LED spot lights.
• DIN rail mounting on 60715 TH35, occupying 3 modules (3 x 17.5 mm) in the control panel.
• Up to 10 m between actuator and LED driver when using twisted cable for the 1-10 V control pair.
• Configuration options include adjustable dimming speed and a minimum output voltage offset adjustable from 1 to 2 V.
• Indoor operating range: -5 C to +45 C (IP20 enclosure rating).
• Marine testing includes IEC 60068-2-52 cyclic salt mist and IEC 60068-2-6 vibration.

Compatibility and fit

The 1-10 V output is meant for LED drivers with a standard 1-10 V dimming input. The total control input current of the connected drivers needs to stay within the actuator’s 30 mA maximum output.

On the system side, it connects to a TP BUS line and is intended for use within the By-me environment. It is not a KNX device and it does not operate over RF control.

Because it uses 120-230 V AC, it belongs on vessels with an AC distribution system. It is not a 12 V or 24 V DC lighting controller.

Installation and wiring notes

Mount the unit on a TH35 DIN rail inside a protected electrical panel with enough space for its 3-module width. Use the dedicated 1-10 V terminals to run the dimming pair to the LED driver, and keep that run within 10 m using twisted cable.

The relay can be used to switch the line feed to the driver or the lighting circuit, but depending on the driver type it may not be necessary to route the phase through the relay. The relay output feeding circuit should be protected against overloads with a fuse or circuit breaker rated no higher than 10 A.

For commissioning, the front configuration button and LED are used during setup on the bus. Once configured, the actuator can be used in groups and scenarios for coordinated lighting control.

Use on board

This actuator is a good match for boats that already have a bus-based lighting control system and need 1-10 V dimming for cabin, salon, or cockpit LED zones powered from 120-230 V AC drivers. It also fits refits where the LED drivers are staying in place and the goal is to add centralized dimming and switching from the panel.

Placement and care

With an IP20 rating, treat it as a cabinet device: mount it in a dry, enclosed location and avoid bilges, washdown zones, and open cockpit voids. Leave room for wiring bends and normal panel ventilation, and keep salt residue from building up inside the enclosure over time.

Shipping
We ship worldwide from the United States. Rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and package weight. Some items include free shipping, which will show automatically. Not every product is eligible for international shipping; checkout will confirm eligibility. We do not ship to PO Boxes except through USPS, and not all packages qualify.

Processing and dispatch
Most orders are verified, packed, and handed to the carrier within 1 to 2 business days. Some products may need extra handling time or ship directly from the manufacturer. For certain international orders, inventory transfers between warehouses may add time. If any delay is expected, we will let you know the dispatch date.

Delivery and tracking
Deliveries are handled by trusted carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Estimated arrival times appear at checkout and depend on your location and the service you choose. These are estimates and can be affected by customs or carrier disruptions. A shipping confirmation with a tracking link is emailed when your order ships, and tracking may take up to 24 hours to update. You can also view tracking in your account.

Duties, taxes, and support
International customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, and fees charged by the destination country. If these charges are refused and a shipment returns to us, the carrier’s return cost and any re-entry customs fees will be deducted from the refund. If your order is late or you need help, contact cs@qualityboatparts.com and we will assist you.

Quality Boat Parts is a reseller. Many items include a manufacturer’s warranty, and all warranty service is handled directly by the manufacturer. We do not manage or administer warranty claims on behalf of customers.

Warranty terms, coverage, and duration are set by each manufacturer. Issues involving defects, repairs, or replacements must be addressed with the manufacturer’s support team. When available, the warranty period is listed on the product page. If it is not shown, contact us or the manufacturer for details before purchasing.

To start a claim, the customer must contact the manufacturer and follow their process. Keep your proof of purchase and original packaging, and register the product if the manufacturer requires it, as these are often needed for warranty service.

We are happy to help you find the right contact or documentation, but we cannot decide outcomes or intervene in claim resolutions. For guidance, email cs@qualityboatparts.com.
