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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP55 protection level for dust and water jets from typical deck and cockpit washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-module capacity for Vimar Eikon, Arké, and Plana mechanisms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mount format for refits and exposed mounting locations where a recessed box is not practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox. 83 x 68 x 66 mm overall size (H x W x D) for tight helm, cabin, and utility panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic housing with insulating construction to reduce accidental contact risk during installation and service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrey finish that blends well with most consoles, bulkheads, and locker interiors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCable entry provision for bringing wiring into the enclosure without leaving the opening exposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRinse 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269540507829,"sku":"QBP885201","price":9.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300461_qbp885201.jpg?v=1771544505","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp885201","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
