Vimar Idea 3-Module Mounting Frame, For 2-Module Arké Devices, For Idea Cover Plates, For 3-Module Mounting Boxes

Overview

The Vimar Idea 16723 is a 3-module mounting frame with screws for fitting 2-module Arké devices behind Idea cover plates in 3-module mounting boxes. It is a flush-mounted thermoplastic frame, and the module inserts mount from the front side, which helps when assembling or servicing the finished installation.

The frame can be installed horizontally or vertically, with a 3-module layout in the horizontal position and 1 module in the vertical position. It does not include an installation box, so it is used with the correct 3-module box already in place.

Key features

• 3-module mounting frame for 3-module mounting boxes
• Made for 2-module Arké devices used with Idea cover plates
• Supplied with screws for fixed mounting
• Front-side insertion of module inserts helps during assembly and service
• Supports horizontal or vertical mounting orientation
• Thermoplastic construction in a flush-mounted format

Variants

This frame is offered in two color configurations.

The change between variants is the frame color. The mounting format stays the same across the range: 3 modules, screw fixing, flush mounting, and compatibility with 2-module Arké devices used with Idea cover plates in 3-module mounting boxes.

• VM16723: Color Gray. This version keeps the same frame layout in a gray finish for installations using darker trim combinations.
• VM16723.B: Color White. This version keeps the same frame layout in a white finish for installations using light cover plates and interior panels.

Compatibility and fit

This frame is for Vimar installations that combine Arké devices with Idea cover plates. It is not a universal frame, so fit depends on using the matching Vimar modular parts and a 3-module mounting box.

It does not have a built-in installation box and it is not intended for 60 mm round junction boxes, wall ducts, subfloor installation duct boxes, or 35 mm DIN rail mounting.

Installation and setup

The frame fixes with screws and sits flush once the matching box, device, and cover plate are assembled. Because the modules insert from the front, it works well in refits and service jobs where access from the face of the panel matters.

Use on board

For marine interiors, this frame fits best in protected accommodation spaces where Vimar modular switching or control points are built into a wall panel or furniture face. It makes sense on boats already using the Idea plate format and needing to adapt a 2-module Arké device into a 3-module box layout.

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.
