Vimar Plana 1P NO Push Button Mechanism, For 1-3 Module Buttons, 10A 250V, Lightable, Flush Mount, IP40, Halogen-Free

Overview

The Vimar VM14008.0 is a Plana series 1-pole normally open (1P NO) push-button mechanism rated 10 A at 250 V~. It is a momentary contact, so the circuit closes only while the button is pressed, which is useful when you want a clean trigger instead of a latching on-off switch.

It is a lightable mechanism and completes with compatible Plana 1, 2, or 3-module buttons and the matching mounting hardware. The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a glossy white finish (RAL 9003), and the front is rated IP40 for protected interior locations.

Physical size is 22.3 mm wide, 49.0 mm high, and 38.4 mm deep, which helps when you are checking clearance behind a helm panel, cabin switch bank, or bulkhead trim panel.

Compatibility and fit

This mechanism is part of the Vimar Plana modular system, so fit depends on using the matching Plana supports, buttons, and cover plates. It occupies a 1-module space at the mechanism level, while the visible button can be a 1, 2, or 3-module style depending on the look and panel layout you are building.

Before ordering, confirm you have enough depth behind the panel for the mechanism body and wiring bend radius, especially in tight helm consoles where harnesses and network cabling share the same cavity.

Installation and setup

The snap-fit fastening is helpful when you are building a clean switch bank and want consistent alignment across multiple modules. Because this is a normally open momentary contact, it is commonly wired to a control input, relay coil, contactor circuit, or logic module, rather than switching large DC loads directly.

Electrical work on board should follow local regulations and be carried out by a qualified installer, particularly when the circuit includes AC power or critical equipment.

Use on board

On boats, a momentary push button is often used for horn circuits, door and locker releases, triggering a lighting scene controller, or as the command input for a windlass, thruster, or pump control relay. In low light, pairing it with a compatible lighting accessory can make it easier to find at the helm without leaving bright cabin lights on.

This is a good match for owners refitting a Plana switch panel or adding a consistent, modular control point in cabins, pilothouses, or other protected areas where spray and washdowns are not hitting the front of the device.

Maintenance and care

For routine cleaning, wipe the visible surfaces with a soft, lightly damp cloth and avoid aggressive solvents that can haze glossy plastics. If installed in a saltwater environment, keeping the area dry and reducing salt buildup around the panel helps maintain smooth button action over time.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
