Overview

The Vimar VM21600.0 is a 1-module flush-mount frame that supports a single Vimar Eikon device behind a cover plate. It fits round 60 mm junction boxes and can be mounted in either horizontal or vertical orientation.

This is the support piece that keeps the module aligned in the opening, so switches and outlets sit straight and feel solid when used on board. The frame is thermoplastic and is normally installed behind the finished plate where it is protected from day-to-day contact.

Key features

• 1-module mounting frame for Vimar Eikon modular devices
• Suitable for flush mounting in round 60 mm junction boxes
• Installs horizontally or vertically to match the layout of the plate and modules
• Front-side insertion for the module, which helps when servicing from the finished side
• Thermoplastic construction

Compatibility and fit

This frame is used with Vimar Eikon series modular devices and matching Eikon cover plates. Confirm your existing system is Eikon and that your mounting box is the round 60 mm style before ordering, especially on refits where different box standards may have been used.

It is a single-position support, so it is intended for one module location in the plate. If you are building a multi-module station, use the matching frame size for the number of module positions in that location.

Installation and setup

After power is off, fit the junction box securely in the panel or bulkhead, then fasten the frame to the box and install the module from the front side. Once the device is wired and seated correctly, finish the install with the appropriate Eikon cover plate.

On boats, take the time to secure the box so it cannot flex when a switch is pressed, and route conductors with a little strain relief so vibration does not work connections loose over time.

Use on board

This style of mounting frame is commonly used at helm switch panels, cabin entryways, galleys, and other interior bulkheads where you want a clean, modular switching layout. It is a good match for boats already using Vimar Eikon plates and devices and for refits where you are standardizing multiple stations to the same module format.

Maintenance and care

There is no routine maintenance beyond occasionally checking that the device and plate stay tight after the boat has seen some vibration. If a module ever feels loose, remove the plate and confirm the frame and box are firmly fastened and the module is fully seated.
