  • Page 2 1.1 Power Power the Color Control GX (CCGX) on the Power IN V+ connector. It accepts 8 to 70 V DC. The CCGX will not power itself from the network connections. Use a 1A slow blow fuse. If you power the CCGX from an AC adaptor connected to the AC-out of VE.Bus products (Inverter, Multi or Quattro), then a deadlock will happen after the VE.Bus products are powered down for any reason (after any operational fault or during a black start).
  • Page 3 The minimal version of the VE.Bus devices connected is 19xx111 or 20xx111, released in 2007. VE.Bus firmware 26xxxxx and 27xxxxx is also supported. 18xxxxx is not. Note that it is not possible to use the Remote on/off (header on the VE.Bus control PCB) in combination with a Color Control GX. The jumper link needs to be in the header, as it is by default.

    Measuring the output of a PV Inverter is recommended to provide the user with a total overview of both actual current power balance and energy distribution. Note that these measurements are only used for displaying purposes, and that they are not used, nor necessary, for any algorithms to operate. There are multiple options to display the output of a PV Inverter on the Color Control GX: AC Current Sensor , wired to the analog inputs of a Multi or Quattro (lowest cost, least accurate).

Both also available from stock at Victron Energy: CCGX WiFi module simple (Nano USB), small, low cost. Victron part number BPP900100200 Startech USB300WN2X2D , slightly higher cost and also better reception.

Note that state changes (charging → inverting, or bulk→float) and also alarms will cause extra messages to be sent To find out how much traffic you need, in order to purchase the right plan, the best way is really to let the system run for a couple of days and monitor the internet RX and TX counters in your 3G or 4G router.

If one is removed, the CCGX will not try to write to the other, but will create an internal backlog buffer until a new storage medium is inserted and then use that storage medium.
