Overview

The Vimar VMR20541 is a 3-module control device with three rocker push buttons for Vimar EIKON and By-me Plus installations, commonly found on modern yachts and cruisers that use distributed switching and scene control. It runs on a BUS 29 V supply and has a 16 mA input draw, so it is used as a low-voltage bus control point rather than a stand-alone mains switching device.

The mechanism is completed with compatible 1-module or 2-module interchangeable buttons, letting the same unit be arranged as three single buttons or as one double plus one single, depending on the button set installed. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a grey surface that has a matte finish, and the device is rated IP40 for protected interior locations.

On board, it is a practical way to put several commands in one spot, such as lighting on/off, dimming control, roller shutter commands, and scenario activation once it is configured in the system.

Key features

• Three rocker push buttons in a 3-module format for Vimar EIKON systems
• BUS 29 V rated supply voltage with 16 mA input draw
• Can be configured as three single buttons or one double plus one single (depends on the interchangeable button set)
• Supports functions such as on/off switching, dimmer control, roller shutter control, and scenario activation when programmed in the system
• TP BUS terminals for connection to the compatible control unit and network
• Flush-mount device with snap fastening for clean installs behind the chosen frame and cover plate
• IP40 protection for interior areas away from spray, washdowns, and direct weather exposure

Compatibility and fit

This device is used with By-me control units, including flush and surface mounting control units (release 2.0 and later) and By-me 2-module control units (release 2.0 and later). It connects on TP BUS terminals, so it fits into systems that already have the matching bus infrastructure in place.

Physical size is 67.30 mm wide, 49.00 mm high, and 46.60 mm deep. It occupies three modules in the Vimar modular system, so it should be matched to a box, frame, and cover plate that accept a 3-module device.

Installation and setup

Mounting is flush with a snap fastening style. Plan for the device depth in the wall or panel location, and keep the installation in a dry, sheltered interior area such as cabins, salons, or protected helm console panels.

Configuration is handled through the system setup, and the unit includes an LED indicator used during configuration and operation feedback. If the front buttons need to be removed for configuration access, that is normal for this style of mechanism.

Electrical and system integration

Because it is a BUS 29 V device, it typically triggers commands on the automation network rather than switching a load directly. Loads such as lights, dimmers, and blinds are controlled through the compatible By-me modules already installed in the system.

Use on board

This is a good match for refits or new builds that are standardizing on Vimar EIKON and By-me Plus for cabin lighting groups, scene control, and window shade or blind commands. It also helps when you want three independent control points at one location without adding multiple separate modules.

Maintenance and care

Keep the unit in an interior location and avoid moisture exposure beyond typical cabin humidity. Clean the visible surfaces with a soft cloth and mild cleaner, and avoid solvents that can haze or soften thermoplastic finishes.
