Color Control GX manual [Victron Energy]
1.7 Connecting a USB GPS
Use a GPS to track remote vehicles or boats and, optionally, get an alarm when they leave a designated area (geofencing). It is also possible to download a gps-tracks.kml file which can be opened with
Navlink and Google Earth for example.
Victron does not sell USB-GPS, but the CCGX will support third-party GPS modules which use the NMEA0183 command-set - almost all do. It can communicate at both 4800 and 38400 baud rates. Plug
the unit into either of the two USB sockets ...connection may take a few minutes, but the CCGX will automatically recognize the GPS. The unit's location will automatically be sent to the VRM online portal
and its position shown on the map.
The CCGX has been tested for compatibility with:
Globalsat BU353-W SiRF STAR III 4800 baud
Globalsat ND100 SiRF STAR III 38400 baud
Globalsat BU353S4 SiRF STAR IV 4800 baud
Globalsat MR350 + BR305US SiRF STAR III 4800 baud

Description
Off
Enable this to allow Victron engineers to access your system in case there is a problem.
User and installer
Set this to 'User' to prevent accidental and unwanted changes to the configuration.
On
When there is an alarm on the CCGX or a connected product, the CCGX will beep - unless this setting is set to 'Off'.
Off
Turn 'On' to demonstrate product and installation features to a client or at an exhibition. This simulation mode will allow better
understanding without (yet) changing any settings.
Check and update
We recommend the factory default. A reason to disable it would be to eliminate the risk of a firmware update causing problems.
Latest release
Use the default setting unless you want to participate in test versions. End-user systems should certainly be set to 'Latest release'.
Use this menu to install a new version from a microSD card or USB stick. Insert the card or stick that holds the new firmware
.swu file.
With this feature you can go back to the previously installed firmware version.
Automatic from internet
When connected to the internet, time will be automatically synchronised regardless of this setting. Toggle the setting Manually
input the time where no internet connection is present.
Select the correct time zone.

No
Enabling will allow direct connection to the CCGX by typing it's IP address into a web browser. Only Enable this function on
trusted networks.
Generator
Select Generator or Grid. (We will shortly be adding the setting 'Shore power' instead of grid.)
Grid
Same choices as above.
Automatic
Select the SOC source. This function is useful where there is more than one BMV. More details
