Vimar Idea Rondò Cover Plate, 1-Module, Die-Cast Metal, Panel Mount

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16783 Rondò cover plate is a 1-module panel-mount cover plate in die-cast metal for the Vimar Idea switching range. It measures 41 x 85 x 9 mm, supports horizontal or vertical mounting, and uses clamp fastening for installation.

This plate is a finishing piece for a single control point where you want the visible trim to match the rest of the panel or cabin interior. It includes a label space and is suitable for built-in installations, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes.

With an IP00 protection rating, it is best suited to protected interior locations on board rather than exposed exterior areas. On a boat, that usually means switch points in cabins, heads, passageways, or other enclosed spaces where appearance and fit matter as much as function.

Key features

• 1-module Rondò cover plate for panel mounting in the Vimar Idea range
• Die-cast metal construction with a glossy surface finish and halogen-free composition
• Compact 41 x 85 x 9 mm format for single-module switch or control locations
• Can be mounted horizontally or vertically to suit the panel layout
• Clamp mounting and integrated label space for clear identification
• Suitable for built-in installations, wall ducts, and subfloor installation duct boxes
• IP00-rated, so it belongs in protected interior spaces rather than washdown or spray-prone areas

Variants

This range changes by finish rather than by size or module count. Available options include White, Ivory, Black, Metallized Silver, Polished Gold, Brushed Nickel, and Metal Chrome.

Across the listed variants, the underlying format stays the same: a 1-module die-cast metal Rondò plate for panel mounting, with the same 41 x 85 x 9 mm dimensions, horizontal or vertical orientation, clamp fastening, and label space. The main difference is how the visible trim looks once installed around the device.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is sized for a single module in the Vimar Idea system, so it should be matched with the correct 1-module device and mounting arrangement. Before ordering, it is worth checking the existing opening, the module format behind the plate, and whether the installation is set up for panel mounting.

The slim 9 mm depth helps when space around a switch panel is limited. That can be useful on narrow bulkheads, furniture panels, or compact control stations where the trim needs to sit neatly without adding much projection.

Installation and use on board

This cover plate suits interior refits where the electrical function stays the same but the visible finish is being refreshed. It also works well in new interior switch panels that use the Vimar Idea platform and need a metal faceplate that lines up with nearby hardware and trim.

For marine use, it makes the most sense in enclosed spaces where the plate will not be exposed to direct weather. In those locations, the finish choice can help tie together lighting controls, outlets, and other panel elements so the installation looks consistent across the boat.

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.
