It handles common mixed loads you see on boats with shore power or inverter-fed AC lighting, including 40 to 500 W incandescent, 40 to 300 VA electronic transformers, 10 to 200 W CFL, and 3 to 200 W LED loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt mounts on a 60715 TH35 DIN rail and takes up 4 standard modules (17.5 mm each), so it fits cleanly in a structured AC distribution cabinet. The front LED indicator helps with quick status checks during commissioning, and an internal protection fuse adds a layer of protection if a fault develops on the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230 V AC, 50\/60 Hz dimming module for one lighting output in a bus-controlled installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad support range covers incandescent (40 to 500 W), electronic transformers (40 to 300 VA), CFL (10 to 200 W), and LED (3 to 200 W), including LED electronic power supply units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIN-rail installation on 60715 TH35, with a 4-module footprint (4 x 17.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP20 protection rating for installation inside a protected electrical enclosure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnboard LED indication and an integrated protection fuse for service troubleshooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a 230 V device, so it belongs on vessels with 230 V AC distribution (shore power, generator, or a 230 V inverter system). It is not a 12 V or 24 V dimmer, and it is not meant for low-voltage LED strip circuits unless those strips are driven from a suitable 230 V dimmable power supply that stays within the listed load range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, match the connected load type and total wattage to the ranges above, and confirm the lamps or drivers are intended for dimming. When LED loads flicker or drop out at low levels, the cause is usually the driver or lamp, not the module, so compatibility checks up front save time during install.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for a dry, protected mounting location in the AC panel or automation cabinet, since the housing is rated IP20. Leave room for wiring bend radius and panel airflow, and keep it away from areas that regularly see spray, washdown, or condensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is mains voltage equipment, installation should follow marine electrical practices for AC systems, including correct upstream protection and enclosure grounding. If the protection fuse opens, replace it only with the same type and rating specified for the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module makes sense on yachts and larger boats where cabin or saloon lighting is run on 230 V and controlled from a centralized automation panel. It is also a practical spare for maintaining an existing By-me Plus installation, where matching the original module footprint and load behavior matters during a refit or service call.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eProduct lifecycle\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis item is listed as a spare part and is marked to be discontinued, which is worth factoring in if you maintain a boat with a standardized automation spares kit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269604667573,"sku":"QBP889208","price":406.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300577_qbp889208.jpg?v=1771544812","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp889208","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
