Vimar Idea Rondò Cover Plate, 3-Module, Clamp Mounting

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16763 Rondò cover plate is a 3-module cover plate for IDEA switching devices, with clamp mounting, horizontal or vertical orientation, and a 122.8 x 82.0 x 8.9 mm face size.

It is a trim piece for built-in switch positions where you want a finished front around grouped controls on board. The plate can be used in built-in installations, wall ducts, and subfloor duct boxes, and it includes a label surface that helps when several functions share one location.

The main body is halogen-free thermoplastic. Most versions use a glossy surface, while the White Silk version has a matt lacquered finish. With an IP00 rating, this plate belongs in protected interior spaces rather than exposed wet areas.

Key features

• 3-module cover plate for the Vimar IDEA system
• Clamp-mount format with horizontal or vertical installation
• 122.8 mm width, 82.0 mm height, and 8.9 mm depth
• Suitable for built-in installation, wall ducts, and subfloor duct boxes
• Includes a label surface for marking grouped switches or functions
• Halogen-free thermoplastic construction with IP00 protection for dry interior locations

Variants

This range changes mainly in color and surface appearance. The listed options cover Black, Bright White, Graphite Gray, Matte Nickel, White, and a White Silk version.

Most variants use glossy technopolymer. The White Silk version keeps the same general form factor but shifts to a matt lacquered surface. Across the range, the product stays focused on the same 3-module clamp-mount layout, so the difference is mostly the finished look of the switch panel.

Compatibility and fit

This plate is made for IDEA devices and support layouts that use three modules across. It can also be installed vertically in the matching one-module vertical arrangement, so it works well when the switch layout has to follow the space available behind a cabin bulkhead, console panel, or furniture module.

Before ordering, check that the inserts and support frame on the vessel are from the IDEA family and that the installation calls for the Rondò 3-module format. That matters more here than color, because the plate is the final visible trim piece and the underlying support determines whether it will seat correctly.

Installation and location on board

On a boat, this cover plate makes the most sense in cabins, saloons, galleys, heads, and protected helm or service panels where the switching gear is recessed into the joinery or console. It is a sensible match for refit work when the electrical layout is sound and the goal is to clean up the visible finish around existing controls.

Because the plate itself is IP00, it should not be treated as a weather barrier. Keep it out of open decks, washdown zones, and any area that sees direct spray or standing moisture.

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.
