{"product_id":"qbp906178","title":"Vimar Plana 2-Switch Bus Interface, By-me Plus, 1 Module, IP40, Flush Mount, LED","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vimar PLANA is a 2-switch bus interface for connecting two traditional devices into a By-me Plus installation. It uses a flush-mounted 1-module format, includes LED indication, and carries an IP40 rating for protected interior locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of part used when a boat build or refit needs a clean PLANA control point without giving up bus-system integration. The thermoplastic body and glossy front keep the look consistent with other PLANA devices, while the compact footprint helps when panel space is limited at an interior helm, cabin bulkhead, or utility panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterface for 2 traditional devices within a bus-system installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted 1-module format that fits neatly into PLANA layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED indication for clear status visibility at the control point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBus connection with IP40 protection for dry, protected interior spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic construction with a glossy visible finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is offered in two finish options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross both variants, the core format stays the same: flush-mounted installation, 1 modular spacing, thermoplastic construction, bus connection, LED indication, and IP40 protection. The visible finish, surface protection, and colour are what change between versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM14518: White, glossy finish with untreated surface protection, RAL 9003. This keeps the visible control point discreet in white PLANA layouts and light interior panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM14518.SL: Silver, glossy finish with lacquered surface protection, RAL 9006. This gives the front a metallic look that suits silver PLANA frames and contemporary interior switch panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis interface belongs to the Vimar By-me Plus PLANA range and is classed as an interface for bus systems. It is not a KNX, KNX-RF, LON, Powernet, or radio-frequency interface, which matters when matching it to an existing onboard control system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1-module body is useful where space is tight and a flush finish matters. On a boat, that usually means protected interior positions rather than exposed deck areas, lockers that see spray, or washdown zones, as the IP40 rating is meant for dry locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits installations where two conventional switch inputs need to be brought into a structured control system while keeping the PLANA appearance consistent across the panel. That makes it a sensible fit for cabins, interior helm stations, and other enclosed areas where bus-controlled functions are being expanded without changing the visible switch style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":52371001180341,"sku":"QBP906178-8","price":141.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52371001213109,"sku":"QBP906178-1","price":137.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1316005_qbp906178.jpg?v=1774057489","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp906178","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
