The mechanism is lightable and can be paired with an optional exchangeable LED for control and orientation lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is IP40 and built for protected interiors, so it belongs in dry locations like cabins, the saloon, or inside an electrical cabinet that stays out of spray and washdowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16AX, 250 V~ rating for switching AC loads, including self-ballasted lamps up to 200 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1P 1-way (on\/off) switching for straightforward control from a single location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightable mechanism that supports an optional exchangeable LED for locator or orientation use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted, modular format that completes with 1-, 2- or 3-module Arké buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew terminal connections for a solid, vibration-resistant wire clamp when properly tightened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHalogen-free thermoplastic construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection for interior panels and spaces that are kept dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis mechanism is part of the Vimar Arké modular system and is meant to be finished with a matching Arké button and faceplate hardware from the same family. Allow for a built-in depth of 25 mm behind the panel, and verify clearance in the wall box or mounting enclosure before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectrical rating is 250 V~. On boats, that typically aligns with 120 V or 230 V AC distribution fed by shore power or an inverter output. It is not a 12V or 24V DC battery switch and should not be used as a main DC isolation device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the location so it stays protected from direct water exposure and condensation. Isolate AC power at the source, confirm the circuit is de-energized, then land conductors in the screw terminals with clean stripping and full insertion so the clamp grabs copper, not insulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the mechanism is seated and secured in the flush-mount box, finish the front end with the appropriate Arké button configuration, then test operation under load before closing up the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis switch mechanism is a practical match for boats using an Arké switching layout in cabins, saloons, or nav station cabinetry where AC circuits are controlled locally. Typical uses include interior AC lighting groups or other modest AC loads on a branch circuit where a simple on\/off wall-style control is preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also a good fit for refits where you want a consistent Arké look across multiple cabins without mixing switch families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the front end dry and clean, and avoid mounting in places that see hose-downs or salt spray. During seasonal service, re-check that terminals remain tight and that there is no heat discoloration or arcing at the connections.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269613220021,"sku":"QBP886047","price":11.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300480_qbp886047.jpg?v=1771544865","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp886047","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
