Communication centres

The Ekrano GX represents the next generation in the GX product family. With its complete range of connections and interfaces as well as its integrated 7-inch touchscreen display, it is the most powerful GX device to date and allows you toalways have perfect control over your system from wherever you are and to maximise its performance. Simply access your system via our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or access it directly, using the built-in touchscreen, a Multi-Functional Display (MFD) or our VictronConnect app thanks to its built-in WiFi Access Point.The Ekrano GX is also the successor to the Color Control GX.

This all-new communication-centre allows you to always have perfect control over your system from wherever you are and maximises its performance. Simply connect through our Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or access directly, using the separate GX Touch, a MFD or our VictronConnect App thanks to its built-in WiFi Access Point. This latest addition to the GX-range combines all the best of connectivity, redefining smart power solutions in every way. Watch the new video that explains all there is to know about installing the new Cerbo GX & GX Touch 50.

We believe that having insight into your installation is a key factor in maintaining and operating your off-grid energy solutions. Off-grid should not mean off-line, so we have created the GlobalLink 520. This device will bring 4G LTE-M connectivity to all VE.Direct enabled devices without any monthly fees or subscriptions, for the first five years.

The Venus GX is the communication-centre of your installation. Venus allows you to talk to all components in your system and ensure they are working in harmony. Monitoring of live data, and changing settings is performed by using your smartphone (or other device) via our free-to-use Victron Remote Management Portal (VRM).DEPRECATED: For new installs, we recommend the equally priced yet far more powerful Cerbo GX.

The GX Tank 140 takes readings from up to four tank level sensors. It is an accessory for our range of GX system monitoring products, of which the Cerbo GX is the most commonly used model.Tank levels can be read-out locally in the system, see screenshot, as well remotely through our VRM Portal.The GX Tank 140 is compatible with current senders (4 to 20 mA) as well as voltage senders (0 to 10 V). The connection to the GX Device is via USB, which is also how the GX Tank is powered: no additional power wires required.Tank sender wiring is kept as simple as possible: two of the four inputs provide a 24 V power supply, to power the sender. The other two channels do require an external power supply, and there is a power in terminal together with fused outputs to facilitate that. Upper and lower limits are configurable, to allow using senders that provide only part of the scale, for example 0 to 5 V.To provide a stable reading, the readings are averaged damping. The damping can be configured between 1 and 60 seconds.Faulty sensors and wiring issues are detected: an alarm will be raised when values are out of range. For marine applications, the GX Device can transmit these tank levels on the NMEA 2000 network to be picked up by other displays such as an MFD.

The GX LTE 4G is a cellular modem for our GX range of monitoring products. It provides a mobile internet connection for the system and connection to the VRM Portal. It works on 2G, 3G and 4G networks.There are multiple models, refer to the manual to see which model best matches the available cellular network bands in your area.The GX LTE includes a built-in GPS receiver. When the optional GPS antenna is installed, the system can be tracked as well as Geo-fenced on the VRM Portal.

The GX GSM is a modem & GPS accessory for our GX range of monitoring products. The GX GSM is a cellular modem; providing a mobile internet for the system and connection to the VRM Portal. It works on 2G and 3G networks. It includes a built-in GPS receiver. When the optional GPS antenna is installed, the system can be tracked as well as Geo-fenced on the VRM Portal. Note that many telecom operators are in the process of shutting down their 3G networks. Make sure to consider the replacement product, the GX LTE 4G, as well.

The VE.Bus Smart dongle is two products in one:First of all it is the Bluetooth accessory for our range of inverter/chargers: Multis, MultiPlusses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros, and our series of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect App to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes.Secondly it can work as a Voltage- and Temperature-sense device for the inverter/charger. This works with all models.For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are a step too far.It also adds Instant Readout to the VE.Bus product and displays the inverter/charger's key data on the VictronConnect device list page without requiring a connection to the product. This includes visual notifications of warnings, alarms, and errors, allowing for at-a-glance diagnostics.

The GX IO-Extender 150 enhances the input and output (I/O) capabilities of a GX device, enabling seamless integration with additional sensors, controls, and external devices. It connects via USB, which also serves as its power source, providing a simple and efficient expansion solution. The device can be controlled using Node-RED on the GX device as well as the Switch pane in the user interface.

Using the VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle you can display your BMV or MPPT information on iOS and Android devices, using the VictronConnect App. View information wirelessly such as battery status and solar panel power, plus other useful data. The dongle is able to read data from all products with a VE.Direct port, such as the BMV-70x series battery monitors, Phoenix Inverters with VE.Direct port, MPPT Solar Charge Controllers. This also includes Instant Readout: when the VE.Direct Smart Dongle is connected to a BlueSolar MPPT, BMV-70x or a Phoenix Inverter VE.Direct, VictronConnect will display the most important data of these products on the Device list page without requiring a paired connection. This includes visual notifications of warnings, alarms, and errors, enabling diagnostics at-a-glance.
