Overview

The Vimar VM14804 is a 4-module surface-mount enclosure for installing Vimar Eikon and Plana modular devices when you cannot recess a box into the bulkhead or panel. It is rated IP40, so it belongs in protected interior locations on board where it will not see spray or washdowns.

The enclosure measures 13.6 x 8.3 x 5.5 cm and adds the space you need behind the device for terminations and cable routing. The body is plastic and includes full insulating components, which helps keep the back of the installation separated from the mounting surface.

Key features

• 4-module surface enclosure sized for Vimar Eikon and Plana modular plates and mechanisms
• IP40 rating for dry, protected interior mounting areas
• Plastic enclosure with full insulating components for safer surface mounting
• Grey finish that blends with most helm and cabin panels
• Overall size: 13.6 x 8.3 x 5.5 cm

Compatibility and fit

Module counts follow the Vimar standard. Confirm your switch, socket, or control and its cover plate are a 4-module format within the Eikon or Plana family. This is the surface enclosure only, so the mechanism and cover plate are selected separately to match your circuit and layout.

Installation and setup

Fasten the enclosure to a flat surface, route the cable, then terminate the modular device and fit the cover plate. On boats, secure wiring so vibration does not work the terminals loose, and leave enough slack to service the connections later. If the mounting spot is likely to get damp, move the installation to a more sheltered area or use an enclosure with a higher ingress rating.

Use on board

This enclosure works well for refits where you are adding a switch point at the nav station, bringing power to a workshop locker, or relocating controls onto a fiberglass or wood panel without cutting a recess. It also helps keep a consistent look when you are standardizing on Vimar Eikon or Plana hardware across the boat.
