Vimar Eikon Tactil 8IN/7OUT Electronic Control, 9-32VDC, 6 Buttons, RGB LED

Overview

The Vimar VM21126 is a 3-module EIKON electronic control unit with 6 independent push buttons, 8 non-polarised inputs, and 7 solid-state outputs for non-polarised contacts. It runs on 9-32 VDC, which suits typical 12 V and 24 V DC systems, and it uses configurable RGB LED backlighting so the button area stays readable in changing light.

This insert is meant to be completed with an Eikon Tactil cover plate and labels. On board, it works well when you want a clean, labeled control point at the helm, in the cabin, or at a service panel, while the actual switching and load handling happens elsewhere in the system.

Overall size is 8.5 x 3.9 x 8.6 cm and weight is about 104 g, which helps when planning space and wire routing behind the mounting position.

Key features

• 9-32 VDC supply range with low power draw (max absorbed power 0.7 W)
• 6 independent push buttons with configurable RGB LED backlighting
• 8 non-polarised inputs that can be activated with positive or negative signals, including voltage-free contacts
• 7 solid-state outputs rated up to 40 V and 100 mA per output for signalling and control (use relays or other interfaces for higher-current loads)
• Input and output conductors can be extended up to 50 m with a minimum conductor section of 0.33 mm2
• 3-module EIKON format, completed with Eikon Tactil cover plate and labels
• Thermoplastic insert with a matt grey finish (RAL 7024) and a non-transparent face

Compatibility and fit

This is an EIKON-series 3-module electronic insert, so it belongs in an EIKON modular mounting position where you are already using Eikon Tactil plates. If you are matching existing interiors, the finish is matt grey (RAL 7024).

For marine installations, plan the mounting location like you would any interior control station: behind a cover plate, supported by a solid mounting surface, and away from direct spray or washdowns unless the overall installation provides the needed protection.

Installation and wiring

Mount the insert in the correct 3-module position and leave room behind the plate for connectors and bend radius. Secure the wiring so vibration does not load the terminals, and keep harnesses supported as they pass through bulkheads or behind consoles.

Provide a clean 9-32 VDC feed from your DC distribution and protect the circuit with an appropriately sized fuse or breaker for the wiring and the connected control design. If the keypad is far from the controlled equipment, the ability to extend I/O conductors helps keep the user interface where you need it without relocating the rest of the system.

Electrical and system integration

The inputs operate over 5-32 VDC with very low activation current, and the non-polarised design makes it easier to interface with different types of contacts and signal styles. Each solid-state output is intended for control-level switching up to 100 mA, so plan on using external relays, contactors, or compatible control inputs when you need to operate higher-current onboard loads.

RGB backlighting is configurable, and input 7 supports a PWM signal (400 kHz) for LED colour control when you are integrating with an external controller.

Use cases on board

This unit fits boats where you want a labeled, multi-function 6-button station in an EIKON mounting position, such as managing cabin lighting groups, triggering auxiliary control relays, or providing a compact interface at a service area. It is also a good match for refits where EIKON plates are already installed and you want to keep a consistent look while adding more control points.

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.
