Color Control GX manual [Victron Energy]
Use the VE.Direct to BMV-60xS cables, ASS0305322xx
1.2.5 DC Link box
Connect the DC Link box to a BMV-700, using the supplier RJ-12 cable. Then connect the BMV-700 to the CCGX, see above paragraph for instructions.
1.2.6 VE.Can Resistive Tank Sender Adapter
See its page and manual on our website
[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-can-resistive-tank-sender-adapter]
To connect a product with a VE.Can port, use a standard RJ45 UTP cable. See our pricelist, ASS030064xxx and ASS030065xxx.
Do not forget to terminate the VE.Can network on both ends, using a VE.Can terminator
They are also available separately: ASS030700000.
Make sure that the canbus is powered, see the Power chapter in the Tank Sender Adapter manual
1.2.7 NMEA Tank senders from other manufacturers
All tank senders that transmit the NMEA2000 Fluid Level PGN, 127505, are supported: the tank level will be visible on th CCGX.
For some tank senders it is also possible to configure the capacity and the fluid type from the CCGX. For example the Maretron TLA100. Others might work as well. Try to find out.
To connect an NMEA2000 network to the CCGX, use the VE.Can to NMEA2000 cable
1.3 Measuring PV Inverter output
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:
1. AC Current Sensor

/ac_current_sensor:start).
2. Fronius PV Inverters
[http://www.fronius.com/]
3. Wired HUB-4 Sensor
[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/wired-ac-sensor]
can be configured to measure output of a PV Inverter. See the last chapter in the Hub-4 manual (/live/system_integration:hub4_grid_parallel#using_the_wired_hub-4_ac_sensor_to_measure_pv_inverter_output)
for wiring and configuration.
4. Wireless AC sensors

1.4 Internet connectivity

Connect the CCGX to the internet to get all the advantages of the VRM Portal. The CCGX will send the data gathered from the connected products to the VRM portal (https://vrm.victronenergy.com/
). Here it is possible to monitor your energy usage, view the current status of connected products, configure email alarms (/live/vrm_portal:alarms) and download data in CSV and Excel
[https://vrm.victronenergy.com/]
formats.
Download the iOS or Android VRM App
Besides sending data for remote monitoring, an active internet connection will also allow the CCGX to regularly check for a new firmware version, which will be (automatically) downloaded and installed. It is not necessary do
this manually using a microSD or USB flash drive.
There are several ways to connect a CCGX to the internet:
Run a network cable to its Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) port
Connect to Wi-Fi, using a USB Wi-Fi dongle plugged into the CCGX
To a mobile (cellular) network, using a 3G or 4G router
USB Tethering on a mobile phone
The four chapters below describe these options in detail.
