The device will not power itself from the network connections. Use a 1A slow blow fuse. Powering in systems with VE.Bus BMS VE.Bus BMS note: when the CCGX is used in an installation with a VE.Bus BMS, connect Power in V+ on the CCGX to the terminal called 'Load disconnect' on the VE.Bus BMS.

Note that it is not possible to use the Remote on/off (header on the VE.Bus control PCB) in combination with a 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.

  • Page 8 Using a Wi-Fi dongle it is possible to connect to WEP, WPA and WPA2 secured networks. There are three supported USB Wi-Fi dongles. Two of them are also available from stock at Victron Energy: CCGX WiFi module simple (Nano USB), small, low cost. Victron part number BPP900100200 LevelOne WUA-1610, slightly higher cost and also better reception.

    Last update: 2017-10-11 11:31 ccgx:start https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ccgx:start?rev=1507714272 Note that CCGX versions prior to v1.18 would still check for software updates daily, even when auto- update was be switched off. This has been changed in v1.18: disabling auto-update also disables the check, saving a lot of data. We recommend to set the mobile plan up in such a way that there are no surprises.
