Color Control GX manual
Thank you for choosing the Color Control Gateway transmitter (CCGX). It sits at the heart of your
energy installation allowing you to view both live and archived data; change settings; instigate
powerful functions; tailor your system to your needs; and to ensure that all the components of your
system are working together, optimally.
All this can be done either with the CCGX in front of you - or from anywhere in the world using an
internet connection, together with the

  • Page 4 Powering in systems with VE.Bus BMS When the CCGX is used in an installation with a VE.Bus BMS, connect the Power in V+ on the CCGX to the terminal labelled 'Load disconnect' on the VE.Bus BMS. Connect both negative leads to the negative stub of a common Battery.
  • Page 5 (after any operational fault or during a black start). The VE.Bus devices will not boot-up until the CCGX has power …but the CCGX will not boot-up until it has power. This deadlock can be rectified by briefly unplugging the CCGX VE.Bus cable at which point you will observe the VE.Bus products will immediately begin to boot-up.
  • Page 6 CCGX. The jumper link needs to be in the header, as it is by default. Single VE.Bus products To connect a single VE.Bus product, connect it to one of the VE.Bus sockets on the back of the CCGX. Both sockets are identical, use either one. Use a standard RJ45 UTP cable, see our pricelist.
  • Page 7 It is possible to connect both a CCGX and a Digital Multi control to a VE.Bus system. The ability to switch the product On, Off or set it to Charger Only via the CCGX will be disabled. The same applies to...
  • Page 8 Other notes: In order to work with the CCGX an MPPT 150/70 needs run firmware v2.00 or newer. You can combine a Skylla-i control panel with a CCGX. You can combine a Ion Control panel with a CCGX.
  • Page 9 The NMEA2000 function class needs to be 'Transducer', 190 For some tank senders it is also possible to configure the capacity and the fluid type from the CCGX - for example the Maretron TLA100. This facility may be available with other senders made by other manufacturers - it's well-worth trying.

    Android VRM App. In addition to remote monitoring, an active internet connection allows the CCGX to regularly check for a new firmware versions - which will be automatically downloaded and installed. There are several ways to connect a CCGX to the internet:...
  • Page 11 1.6.3 Mobile (cellular) network using a 3G or 4G router To connect the CCGX to a mobile (cellular) network, such as a 3G or 4G network, use a cellular router. Connect the CCGX to that router with either a LAN cable or the router's Wi-Fi network.
  • Page 12 1.6.6 Connecting both Ethernet and Wi-Fi (failover) It is possible to connect the CCGX to both Ethernet and Wi-Fi. In this case, the CCGX will try to determine which interface provides an active internet connection and then use that interface. When both have an active internet connection, the Ethernet connection is used.

Possible functions are 'Alarm relay', 'Generator start/stop', 'Tank pump' and 'None' (disabled). relay Normally Select the polarity of the relay on the back of the CCGX. 'Normally open' or 'Normally closed'. (Note that setting it to Polarity open normally closed increases the CCGX power draw.)
  • Page 16 2.2 Logging data for the VRM portal The CCGX can be used in combination with the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal: The CCGX monitors all products connected to it and the VRM portal makes the statistics easily accessible.
  • Page 17 The first step is to use the GUI (Graphical User Interface) to eject the storage (don't just remove the SD-card/USB-stick). The storage device can then be removed from the CCGX and inserted into a computer or laptop, the data file on it can be uploaded on the VRM Portal with the 'Upload CCGX File' option: It's important to know that when the microSD card or USB stick is re-inserted, the existing buffer -...
  • Page 18 If both a microSD card and a USB flash drive are connected to the CCGX, then data is logged to the one that was inserted first. 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 when it will use that storage...

  • Page 21 Configuration: Enable and configure the Battery Monitor in VEConfigure. In the CCGX, in Settings → System setup, verify the selected Battery Monitor. It should be set to the Multi or Quattro. Battery with Multi or Quattro and MPPT Solar Chargers -ALSO- An EasySolar with CCGX built-in No battery monitor is required, as long as all MPPT Solar Chargers are Victron products and are connected to the CCGX.
  • Page 22 Connect the battery communications cable to the CCGX according to the instructions. In the CCGX, in Settings → System setup, verify that the selected Battery Monitor is the battery. Note that the Battery Monitor setting in VEConfigure3 is irrelevant. For systems like this, changing this setting will have no effect on the charge or any other parameters in this type of system.

    For Gel, AGM, OPzS and other lead batteries, DVCC can be used without any problem. The same is true for Victron Energy lithium batteries with the VE.Bus BMS, the Lynx Ion + Shunt BMS or the Lynx Ion BMS. DVCC is the preferred operating mode for Redflow ZBM2/ZCell batteries using the Redflow CANBus BMS.
