Vimar Plana 1P 10AX 2-Way Switch Mechanism, For 1-3 Module Button, 250V, LED-Illuminable, IP40

Overview

The Vimar VM14004.0 is a Plana series 1P 10AX 2-way switch mechanism rated 250 V~ for controlling an AC circuit from one or two locations, depending on how it is wired.

It is a modular insert that is completed with a Plana 1, 2, or 3-module button and can be made lightable with an optional plug-in LED unit. The mechanism uses screw terminals and is specified for IP40, so it belongs in interior areas that stay protected from spray and washdowns.

For tight switch panels, the body is 22.30 mm wide x 49.00 mm high, with 38.40 mm overall depth and a 24.00 mm built-in depth.

Key features

• Single-pole 2-way (SPDT) switching mechanism, rated 10AX at 250 V~.
• Lightable function for control or orientation lighting using an exchangeable LED unit.
• Built to complete with Plana 1-, 2-, or 3-module buttons, keeping a consistent modular layout.
• Screw terminal connections for conventional wiring.
• IP40 rating for locations that stay dry and protected inside the boat.
• Thermoplastic construction that is halogen-free.
• Maximum 100 W for self-ballasted lamps.

Compatibility and fit

This listing is for the switch mechanism. It installs as a 1-module flush-mounted device with snap-in fastening and is finished by adding a compatible Plana button.

Use the stated depths when planning installation in shallow bulkheads or behind a helm side panel where wiring looms and conduits take up space.

Installation and wiring

This is a 250 V~ rated mechanism, so treat it as part of the vessel's AC system and wire it with power isolated. Land conductors in the screw terminals per your vessel’s wiring standards and local electrical requirements.

If you add the optional illumination, the LED unit can be selected to suit either a 12-24 V supply or a mains-voltage pilot-light circuit, depending on how the switch location is fed.

Use on board

Common placements include interior switch groups for saloon or galley circuits on AC power, utility areas, and refits where an existing Plana mechanism needs replacement without changing the surrounding modular layout.

With IP40 protection, keep it in cabins and other sheltered spaces, or mount it behind appropriate protection when the switch location is close to spray.
