Victron Energy VE.Bus Smart dongle

The Victron Energy  VE.Bus Smart dongle is two products in one:

First of all it is the bluetooth accessory for our range of inverter/chargers: Multis, MultiPlusses, MultiPlus-II, MultiGrid, MultiGrid-II, Quattros, and our series of Phoenix Inverters with a VE.Bus port. When installed, use the VictronConnect app to monitor operation and also operate the system: change the input current limit as well as switch between Off, On and Charger-only modes.

Secondly it adds Voltage- and Temperature-sensing to the inverter/chargers. Work with all models, and is especially useful in combination with the MultiPlus-II, as it does not have onboard terminals for Voltage- and Temperature sense wiring.

For monitoring, the device is a great alternative in caravans, smaller yachts and motor homes for which the Color Control GX or Venus GX are a step too far.

The Victron Energy VE.Can resistive tank sender adapter allows a standard resistive tank level sender to connect to the Color Control GX. It is compatible with both European standard 0-180 Ohm and United States standard 240-30 Ohm tank level senders and is accurate to ±1%. It is easily configurable to resistive senders from fuel, fresh water, waste water, well water, oil and black water (sewage) tanks. It supports up to 16 tanks of each type. The unit is a simple setup with two small rotary switches and it gets its power from the VE.Can network.

When you use a Skylla-i or a MPPT with CAN bus in the system, the power to the CAN bus will be supplied by either one of them. When the CAN bus is not powered by a Skylla-I or a MPPT, you will need the new VE.Can Power Cable to supply the power.

The  Victron Energy Venus GX provides intuitive control and monitoring. It has the same functionality as the Color Control GX, with a few extras:

– lower cost, mainly because it has no display or buttons
– 3 tank sender inputs
– 2 temperature inputs
