P1000 Feniex switch panel on P1000-5

[Deltamud]

Was thinking about installing the Feniex 4200 mini Switch console and some relays for the aftermarket items. Has anybody used this panel? It looks pretty go and you can pickup for about $100 bucks. Switches can be setup as momentary for winch in and out. Comments are appreciated.

Looks pretty cool. I watched a video on it.

I wish it could flush mount.

I looked at the larger brother to it my worry was water and dust intrusion into the electronics.

 

[joeymt33]

They said the mini is water proof. Is the larger one not?

I checked into the water/dirt issue its used daily on boats and construction equipment. It's rated IP 67 waterproof.
It has a 5 year warranty too boot!!!

That thing is pretty cool. I am definitely gonna look into it when the rest of my stuff comes in. And waterproof!!

If you used that with the PDM60, Do you know how fast you could wire everything up? Let me tell you extremely, extremely fast!!

That was exactly what I was thinking about. I like the idea of that a lot but I am trying to figure out what, if any, will be the down sides to going this route.

I know this is an old thread, but is anyone using these. I guess ya'll probably saw my thread " Horse with no legs", anyway after all the work I did with that, now I'm thinking something like this.

Give me your thoughts...Anyone use this? How hard would it be to convert over from what I'm running now?

Yup.. I’ve been running one for a year or so.. and @Kilo427 put me on then and has been running them since I’ve known him.

I highly recommend it!

They have been from under the water in Arkansas mud to the desert of Moab with no problems since I installed them several years ago. They may not have all the extra functions but they are tough. Couple of tips though when you mount them never use the long machined screws directly in the back, use only the short ones. Also if you pull significant amps on any one switch mount a relay. Other than that they will work forever.

I was thinking I'm still going to run my Blue Sea fuse block and all my relays. The 4200 just takes the place of all my switches, correct?

This mess.....................

Just wish they came in different back colors!

Yes.. that’s what I did with mine

I noticed they are in Austin. I may call tommorow and see if theres a chance of other colors.

 

[Kilo427]

Be cool if there was I’m sure I could re solder the SMDs like I did my Noam but greens my preferred color

Wow guys, thanks for the input. Got the Feniex installed today and damn is it nice. For my application this is going to work way better than the toggles. I kept one switch, the one for the winch, it was prewired and they did a nice job so I'm gonna use it. Anyway, I haven't done a field test yet, but I'm sure this Feniex is gonna work out great.
