Overview

The Vimar VM19603 is a 2-module mounting frame for ARKÉ modular devices, made to fit 60 mm fixing centres or a 56x56 mm mounting box with 71 mm distance between centres. It can be installed horizontally or vertically, and modules insert from the front for straightforward wiring and service access.

The translucent body makes it easier to see conductor routing as you work, and the honeycomb structure adds strength where the frame takes load from the box and faceplate. On a boat, this is the small part that keeps switches and outlets sitting straight behind the plate, especially in panels that see vibration over time.

Key features

• 2-module ARKÉ mounting frame with 71 mm distance between centres
• Fits 60 mm fixing centres or 56x56 mm mounting boxes
• Horizontal or vertical installation
• Front-side module insertion for easier wiring and device removal
• Translucent thermoplastic frame to help visibility during installation
• Honeycomb structure to support the assembly and resist flexing
• Corner slots for panel fixing and central slots to help level the support in the wall
• Hooking teeth for building multi-module runs in series
• Supplied without screws

Compatibility and fit

This frame is sized for ARKÉ modular device layouts using 2 modules across with 71 mm spacing between module centres. It mounts to flush-mount boxes with 60 mm fixing centres and also matches 56x56 mm mounting boxes.

If your boat uses round 60 mm junction boxes, note that this frame is not intended for that style of round box. For refits, it is also a good match when you are replacing an existing ARKÉ 2-module support and want the same box spacing and module layout.

Installation and wiring notes

The frame fixes to the mounting box with screws, and the module inserts clip in from the front once the support is secured and level. The corner and central slots give you a little flexibility when aligning a faceplate on a bulkhead panel or cabinetry cutout.

In marine panels, leave enough service loop to pull devices forward for inspection, and secure wiring so it cannot chafe on the box edge under vibration. Any moisture protection is determined by the box, gasket, and faceplate you use, not the frame itself.

Use on board

This is a practical part for helm consoles, nav stations, cabin bulkheads, and electrical panels where you are building out an ARKÉ switching or outlet layout and want clean alignment behind the plate. It suits installers who need a tidy, repeatable modular mounting system for multiple circuits in one location.
