The rotary control includes a locator light that stays visible in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an IP40 device intended for dry, protected interior locations on a boat. Operating temperature is -5 °C to +35 °C, and the body depth is 51.50 mm, so it is worth checking clearance behind the panel before you commit to the cutout and wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230 V~ (50-60 Hz) dimming for AC lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad ratings: 60-900 W resistive loads and 60-300 VA ferromagnetic transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotary potentiometer control with locator light visible in darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted installation with snapper fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic body with untreated matt surface, white (RAL 9001 similar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection rating for dry interior mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice height 45.00 mm and depth 51.50 mm for planning panel clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for installation on table mounting box 09933\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWithout radio interference suppression filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer is part of the Vimar 8000 family and is meant to be flush-mounted behind the matching frames and plates used in that series. Before ordering trim parts, confirm your existing modules are from the same family so the dimmer seats and snaps in correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor refits, pay attention to depth. At 51.50 mm, tight bulkheads and shallow console panels can run out of space once wiring bends are added. It is also explicitly not suitable for installation on table mounting box 09933.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 230 V AC device, so it belongs on vessels with 230 V lighting circuits fed by shore power and or an inverter. Isolate power at the breaker before working on the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWiring can be done phase to neutral or phase to phase, always in series with the load. When dimming through a ferromagnetic transformer, the transformer connects to the dimmer on the primary side, and the load on the secondary side should be an ohmic load. A light transformer buzz around mid-dim settings can be normal, and the line between transformer and load should not be switched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dimmer does not provide a full off state in the main circuit, so the load side must be treated as live until the circuit is properly disconnected upstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for cabins, salons, and nav stations where you want smooth control of incandescent or halogen lighting on 230 V circuits, including low-voltage halogen runs that use ferromagnetic transformers. In exposed areas like cockpits and washdown zones, the IP40 rating means it should be placed inside a protected enclosure rather than left open to spray.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269548339381,"sku":"QBP875442","price":80.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300329_qbp875442.jpg?v=1771544545","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp875442","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
