Cerbo GX MK2 – BPP900450110: Advanced System and Panel Monitoring

The Cerbo GX MK2 is the upgraded communication centre designed to provide enhanced monitoring and control for various power systems, from RVs to marine setups. Key improvements in this version include:

Key Differences from the Original Model:

• Dual VE.Can Ports: The MK2 has two fully functional VE.Can ports (VE.Can 1 and VE.Can 2) instead of one VE.Can and one BMS-Can port. VE.Can 1 is isolated, which was not available in earlier versions.
• Rotated RJ-45 Sockets: The sockets are now rotated 180 degrees, making it easier to connect and disconnect cables.
• Fully Functional USB Ports: Unlike previous models, which had one USB port dedicated only to powering the GX Touch, the MK2 offers three fully functional USB ports.
• Digital Inputs for Pulse Counting: This version supports digital inputs that can perform pulse counting, offering more flexibility for specific applications.

Versatility and Ideal Applications:

The Cerbo GX MK2 is ideal for specialized applications, especially in markets like RVs in the US. It can integrate seamlessly with systems requiring Lynx Smart BMS (with a VE.Can connection) and an RV-C port. This model provides an efficient solution for monitoring and controlling various power sources, including batteries, solar power, generators, and more.

Perfect Monitoring and Control:

With the Cerbo GX MK2, users can easily monitor and control the state of charge of batteries, power consumption, solar energy harvest, generator status, and even tank levels or temperature measurements. It allows you to adjust shore power limits, auto-start/stop generators, manage alerts, perform diagnostics, and resolve issues remotely. All of this can be done through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, or directly using the GX Touch 50, MFD, or VictronConnect app with Bluetooth functionality.

Maximize System Performance:

The Cerbo GX MK2 is powered by a dual-core processor and now supports larger systems with its additional CAN-bus port. It can handle up to 25 connected VE.Can solar chargers, ensuring optimal management of lithium batteries. Additionally, NMEA 2000-out support makes it easy to integrate into any boat’s network. The device offers extensive ports for expanded control, including four tank and temperature ports, three VE.Direct ports, three USB ports, four digital inputs, and two relays, allowing users to manage complex systems effortlessly.

Expand Your View:

The Cerbo GX MK2 pairs with the optional GX Touch 50 display, offering a sleek, 5-inch, waterproof touchscreen for an instant overview of your system. The display’s top-mountable design and simple installation make it a flexible choice for creating an intuitive and easy-to-read dashboard.

Overcoming Power Challenges:

The Cerbo GX MK2 serves a wide range of applications, from energy storage systems to backup power solutions for off-grid, marine, and RV setups. It can automatically manage generator operations (start/stop or delay ignition), maintain backup battery charge, and even divert excess solar power for self-consumption. This flexibility ensures the uninterrupted operation of critical systems, whether in emergency vehicles, off-grid homes, or boats.

In summary, the Cerbo GX MK2 elevates system performance, offering unparalleled control, flexibility, and integration options to meet diverse power needs and applications. Whether you’re managing solar, generators, or lithium batteries, it’s an invaluable tool for optimizing energy management.
