It uses 3 terminals and has directional arrows on the actuator, which makes it a natural fit for up and down control at a panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a built-in, snap-fastened module with an IP40 front, so it belongs in protected interior locations rather than areas that get regular spray or washdowns. The device height is 45 mm and the depth is 43 mm, which is worth checking when you are working in shallow helm pods or tight bulkhead cavities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face is matte white (RAL 9001) and the body is halogen-free thermoplastic, a practical choice for cabins and control panels where you want clean labeling and a finish that does not glare under lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-pole, 2-way push button action with directional arrows and a center OFF position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 A, 250 V~ rating for switching and control circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-terminal connection for a 2-way changeover style circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in installation with snap fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 degree of protection for protected locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte white finish (RAL 9001) with halogen-free thermoplastic construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e45 mm device height and 43 mm device depth for fit checks behind panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo integral illumination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module is part of the Vimar 8000 system, so it is intended to clip into the matching mounting support and sit behind a compatible cover plate and frame. It is a good match for refits that already use Vimar 8000-series devices and need an up and down momentary control that returns to center OFF.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you are matching finishes across a helm or cabin, the matte white (RAL 9001) face keeps the look consistent with other white 8000-series modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the wiring around the central OFF position so the load is not energized when the button is released. With three terminals, this style is commonly used in control circuits where one feed is directed to one of two outputs depending on the button position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllow enough conductor slack to seat the module fully, especially in panels with limited depth. Use proper strain relief and marine-appropriate conductors and terminations for the environment you are installing in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn boats, this style of momentary, center-OFF control is often used for reversing functions such as powered blinds, vents, hatches, and other actuators that are run up and down from a panel. It also works well as a low-current control input to relays or control modules where you want clear direction marking at the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the face with a soft, lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents that can haze thermoplastic finishes. If the installation area is prone to condensation or salt air, periodic checks of terminals and surrounding panel hardware help keep the control station tidy and trouble-free.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269559906485,"sku":"QBP874545","price":23.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300324_qbp874545.jpg?v=1771544601","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp874545","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
