Vimar Isoset IP55 1M Surface Enclosure, For Eikon, Arké & Plana

Overview

The Vimar VM14901 is a surface enclosure that holds one module and is rated IP55. It is used when you want to mount a Vimar Eikon, Arké, or Plana device on a bulkhead or panel while adding protection against dust and water spray in areas that see washdowns.

The enclosure is about 83 x 68 x 66 mm (H x W x D) and uses a grey plastic body with insulating construction. Keep the front cover fully closed to maintain the IP55 protection level, and treat it as spray and washdown protection rather than a solution for immersion.

Key features

• IP55 protection level for dust and water jets from typical deck and cockpit washdowns
• 1-module capacity for Vimar Eikon, Arké, and Plana mechanisms
• Surface-mount format for refits and exposed mounting locations where a recessed box is not practical
• Approx. 83 x 68 x 66 mm overall size (H x W x D) for tight helm, cabin, and utility panels
• Plastic housing with insulating construction to reduce accidental contact risk during installation and service
• Grey finish that blends well with most consoles, bulkheads, and locker interiors
• Cable entry provision for bringing wiring into the enclosure without leaving the opening exposed

Compatibility and fit

This enclosure is made for a single 1-module device from the Vimar Eikon, Arké, and Plana families. Confirm the mechanism you plan to install is a true 1-module format and that you have the matching front parts for the series you are using, since the enclosure itself is only the protected housing.

Installation and setup

Mount the enclosure on a flat surface with appropriate fasteners for your substrate, then route conductors through the cable entry and make terminations to the installed mechanism per the device instructions. In exposed marine locations, sealing screw penetrations and managing cable entry to shed water helps the install stay dry behind the cover. Use tinned marine wire and secure the run to handle vibration.

Use cases on board

This type of IP55 surface enclosure is a good match for switches and small control points installed in cockpits, deck access areas, lockers, and utility spaces where spray happens and hands are often wet. It is also useful at the helm or nav station when you want a surface-mounted solution without cutting a deep hole in a finished panel.

Maintenance and care

Rinse off salt residue when you can and wipe the sealing surfaces clean so the cover closes fully. During routine checks, confirm the cover still seats properly and that wiring remains strain-relieved inside the box.
