Victron Energy System Controller Venus GX

Venus GX

The Venus GX provides intuitive control and monitoring for all Victron power systems. The list of Victron products that can be connected is endless: Inverters, Multis, Quattros, MPPT solar chargers, BMV battery monitors, Lynx Ion + Shunt and more.

VRM Online Portal

All readings are forwarded to our free remote monitoring website: the VRM Online Portal.

Remote Console on VRM

The way to access the device for setting up, as well as monitoring, is via Remote Console. Either via VRM, via the built-in WiFi Access Point, or on the local LAN/WiFi network.

Automatic genset start/stop

A highly customizable start/stop system. Use state of charge, voltage, load and other parameters. Define a special set of rules for quiet times, and optionally a monthly test run.

The heart of ESS - Energy Storage System

The Venus GX is the Energy Manager in an ESS system.

Data logging

When connected to the internet, all data is sent to the VRM Portal. When there is no internet connection available, the Venus GX will store the data internally, up to 48 hours. By inserting a micro SD-card or USB stick, more data can be stored. These files can then be uploaded to the VRM Portal, or offline converted with the VictronConnect app, for analysis.

Internet connection

The Venus GX can be connected to internet with an Ethernet cable and via Wi-Fi. The Venus GX has no internal cellular modem: there is no slot for a sim-card. Use an off-the-shelf GPRS or 3G router instead.

Tank level inputs

The tank level inputs are resistive: connect them to a resistive tank sender. Such tank senders are not supplied by Victron. The tank level ports can each be configured to work with either European tank senders (0 Ohm - 180 Ohm), or US (240 Ohm - 30 Ohm).

Intuitive system overview - all you need to know

At a single touch, Color Control GX provides an instant overview of your system: battery state of charge; present power consumption; power harvest from PV; power provision from mains/generator.

The full power of Victron Remote Management

Victron Remote Management (VRM) provides you with full access to the very extensive controls and settings of all system-components which are connected to either your CCGX or Venus GX. It allows remote user and installer login - from anywhere, at anytime. This powerful application also provides for hassle-free diagnostic checks and analysis of archived information.

Automatic Generator start/stop

The Color Control GX can be programmed to auto-start your generator - triggered by low-voltage; high-demand; or battery state of charge. It can be further tailored to delay ignition until the end of 'quiet' periods - avoiding accidental nuisance at dead of night.

Remote Console - control everything from anywhere…

A Remote Console feature is available. It's like carrying the front face of your CCGX control panel around on your phone, or other device.

Energy Storage Systems - 24 hour Monitoring

The Color Control GX manages Energy Storage Systems. It keeps back-up batteries at 100% kicks-in during power-cuts; and diverts excess (solar) power to self-consumption - saving you money. For examples and more detailed information see the ESS (Energy Storage System) manual.

Remotely monitor your boat or motorhome electrics

Planning a trip Remote monitoring of your Color Control GX allows you to make sure your boat or motorhome are ready to go. Color Control GX also allows you to talk to connected equipment from other manufacturers.
