Overview

The Vimar VM01993 is a programming hardware interface used to configure By-me systems and to program By-me serial devices and Well-contact Plus touch screens through the BUS connection with an RJ11 jack. It is used with EasyTool Professional and Well-contact Plus configuration software during commissioning, changes, and troubleshooting.

The unit is surface-mounted and built in thermoplastic with a matt finish in white (RAL 7024 similar). With an IP20 protection rating, it belongs in a dry protected interior location on board, such as a distribution cabinet, a technical locker, or a nav-station service area rather than any space exposed to spray or washdowns.

For logistics and planning, the packed dimensions are 25 x 18.9 x 8.4 cm and packed weight is 509.7 g.

Key features

• Programming interface for By-me serial devices and Well-contact Plus touch screens, with support for configuring a By-me BUS installation
• Connects to the BUS via an RJ11 jack
• Surface-mounted thermoplastic housing with a matt finish
• IP20 protection for dry protected interior mounting locations
• Not a KNX, KNX-RF, LON, or Powernet interface
• No LED indication on the interface
• Packed dimensions 25 x 18.9 x 8.4 cm; packed weight 509.7 g

Compatibility and fit

This interface is intended for Vimar By-me installations and the related Well-contact Plus touch screen family. It is a commissioning and service tool, so the main fit questions are whether your system is actually By-me and whether you have access to the BUS point that uses the RJ11 connection at the time you need to program or adjust devices.

If you are working on KNX, KNX-RF, LON, or Powernet systems, this is not the correct interface for those networks.

Installation and setup

Plan a mounting spot that stays dry and is easy to reach while commissioning, since this is typically used during setup and later service visits. Surface mounting makes it straightforward to place in a panel area or technical space where the BUS is accessible and the RJ11 connection can be made without stressing the cable.

Programming work is carried out through the supported software environment, so it helps to keep the interface reachable when you expect future changes such as device replacement, configuration updates, or adding functions during a refit.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for yards, marine electricians, and owners who maintain a vessel that already runs a By-me control system and wants a clean way to handle setup and later configuration changes. It is also useful when swapping a Well-contact Plus touch screen or making changes to By-me serial devices after new loads or controls are added.

Maintenance and care

Because the housing is rated IP20, keep it away from damp lockers, condensation-prone areas, and any place that gets washdown spray. Wipe the exterior with a dry soft cloth and store it in a clean dry place when not in use.
