Overview

The Vimar VM20609 is a 5-module mounting frame for British Standard mounting boxes, used to secure Vimar Eikon modules neatly behind a matching cover plate.

It screws to the box to keep switches, outlets, dimmers, and other Eikon modules aligned and sitting flush. On a boat, it is the kind of small hardware that makes a helm panel, nav station, or cabin switch bank feel finished and easier to service later.

Key features

• 5-module frame for British Standard (BS) rectangular mounting boxes
• Made for Vimar Eikon modular devices and BS-format cover plates that use a 5-module opening
• Screw-mounted installation; mounting screws included
• Can be installed in horizontal or vertical orientation to suit the layout on the bulkhead
• Overall dimensions: 14.4 x 8.3 x 1.5 cm
• Mechanical mounting support only; it does not add switching, protection, or sealing by itself

What's included

• 5-module mounting frame
• Mounting screws

Compatibility and fit

This frame is intended for British Standard mounting boxes and a 5-module Eikon layout. Before ordering, confirm your back box is the BS type and that your cover plate is the 5-module BS format that matches the Eikon system you are using.

It is not meant for round junction boxes, floor boxes, wall duct systems, or DIN-rail 35 mm mounting.

Installation and setup

Mount the BS back box firmly in the panel or bulkhead, then position the frame and tighten the screws until the frame sits flat. Fit the Eikon modules into the frame from the front, wire them per the device instructions, and finish with the matching cover plate.

In marine installations where vibration is normal, it helps to re-check screw tightness after the first few outings, especially on panels near engines or high-traffic areas.

Use on board

This is a good match for boats that already use Vimar Eikon switchgear and want a tidy 5-module group in one location, such as a cabin light bank, a galley outlet panel, or a nav station accessory panel. For exposed areas, plan the enclosure and cover plate for the level of splash protection you need, since the frame itself is just the mounting support.
