Vimar 8000 Series Cord-Operated Push Button, 1P NO, 10A 250V, 1.5 m Cord, IP40, White

Overview

The Vimar VM08270 is a 1-pole, normally open cord-operated momentary push button rated 10 A at 250 V~ for flush-mounted installations. It gives you a quick pull-to-activate contact, with a 1.5 m cord so the control point can be reached from a berth, locker opening, heads area, or any spot where a standard wall button is awkward.

This is an IP40 device, so it belongs in dry, protected interiors rather than exposed cockpits or washdown zones. On board it is typically used as a momentary control input for a relay, controller, bell, or signaling circuit where you want the circuit to close only while the cord is pulled.

The body is halogen-free thermoplastic with a matt white finish (RAL 9001) and includes a label area, which helps keep panels and service points readable when multiple controls are grouped together.

Key features

• Momentary 1P/NO contact (circuit closes only while operated)
• Electrical rating: 10 A, 250 V~
• 1.5 m operating cord for remote, easy-to-reach activation
• Flush-mounted device with snap (engage) fastening
• IP40 protection level for sheltered interior locations
• Halogen-free thermoplastic body with matt white finish (RAL 9001)
• Overall size: 22.00 mm wide, 50.10 mm high, 35.00 mm deep
• Label space on the front for clear circuit identification

Installation and fit

Plan for a flush-mount position with enough clearance behind the surface for the 35.00 mm device depth and for bending the conductors without stress. If you are mounting into joinery or a thin liner, make sure the backing structure supports the module so it does not flex when the cord is pulled.

Route the cord so it moves freely and does not chafe on edges or snag on gear. On a boat, that usually means keeping it away from hatch corners, locker lids, and moving seat bases, and leaving a clean path that stays predictable underway.

Electrical and onboard use

Wire it as a normally open momentary contact in the control circuit you are switching. For DC onboard systems, it is often used to trigger a relay or control input rather than switching heavy DC loads directly, which helps keep arcing and heat out of the switch location.

Confirm the circuit load and protection match the device rating, and use marine-appropriate conductors, terminations, and strain relief for vibration. If the control is near damp spaces, place it where it stays dry and where condensation or drips cannot run into the module.

Where it works best on board

This style of pull-cord momentary button makes sense in cabins, heads compartments, closets, and under-counter spaces where you want a simple, reachable call or trigger point. It is also useful at service access points where you want a quick, labeled momentary control without adding a bulky panel switch.

Maintenance and care

Wipe the front surface with a lightly damp cloth and avoid harsh solvents that can haze plastics. Periodically check that the cord runs smoothly and that the mounting remains tight after seasons of vibration and temperature cycling.

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.
