Overview

The Vimar VM16446 is a 3-module indicator unit with a white prismatic diffuser for Vimar IDEA flush-mounted installations on 230 V AC circuits, rated for lamps up to 3 W.

It is used as a small status light in switch panels and control stations, where you want a clear on indication that stays visible from an angle. With an IP40 rating, it belongs in protected interior locations such as a cabin panel, nav station, or inside a sheltered electrical cabinet rather than in exposed cockpits or washdown zones.

Key features

• 230 V AC indicator unit for a compatible lamp up to 3 W
• Fits a 3-module position in Vimar IDEA modular frames and plates
• White prismatic diffuser spreads the light for easier viewing across a panel

Compatibility and fit

This module is part of the Vimar IDEA wiring device system and uses a 3-module format. Confirm your support frame and faceplate layout are for IDEA 3-module devices, and note that it is intended for 230 V AC applications, not 12 V or 24 V DC indicator panels.

Installation and setup

Install it like any panel indicator module: isolate the circuit, snap the unit into the flush-mounted support, fit one of the compatible lamps, then wire the lamp according to your panel schematic so it follows the circuit or signal you want to monitor. For onboard AC distribution work, use a qualified marine electrician.

Use on board

This style of indicator is a practical fit on vessels with 230 V shore power or inverter-fed AC circuits where you want quick visual confirmation at a control point, such as AC present or a specific AC load energized, in a location that stays dry and protected.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the diffuser and front surface with a soft cloth. Avoid strong solvents that can haze plastics, and keep the installation away from direct spray since the front is rated IP40.
