Item Default Description
Has DC system No
Enable this for boats, vehicles and installations with DC loads and chargers - in addition to Multi and MPPT chargers. This
won't be applicable to most off-grid installations; and any discrepancy between the DC current measured by the Multi,
and by the BMV, will be attributed to a 'DC system'. This may be power-in from an alternator, or power-out from a pump,
for example.
A positive value indicates consumption. A negative value indicates charging, for example by an alternator.
Note that the value shown will always be an approximation, and is affected by the variation in sample rate between
elements of the system.

minutes
Set to anything between 1 minute and 1 day. Choose longer times on systems with an unreliable connection. Note that
this setting does not affect reporting problems and state changes (bulk → absorption) to the VRM Portal. These events
initiate an immediate transmission of all parameters.
Wireless AC Sensors
Select the position for each AC sensor (PV Inverter on AC-input 1, 2 or on AC-output). More information about the Wireless AC sensors.
Energy meters
Configure the Energy meters, used for one of three things:
Measure the output of a PV Inverter
Measure and regulate a Hub-4 system
Measure and regulate a ESS system
Measure the output of an AC Generator.
ESS
Configure Energy storage system (ESS) ESS system.
Hub-4
Configure Hub-4 system Hub-4 system.
Ethernet
Select the configuration type (DHCP vs. manual configuration) and IP settings.
Wi-Fi
Manage wireless networks and IP settings.
GPS
Format Select the format in which to show the Latitude and Longitude.
Speed unit km/h Choose between km/h, meters per second, miles per hour, or knots.
Generator start/stop
Configure generator autostart settings and conditions. GX - Generator auto start/stop
Tank pump
Configure automatic starting and stopping of pump based on tank level(sender) information. Pump auto start/stop with Color Control GX
Relay
Function
Alarm

Select the relay function. Possible functions are 'Alarm relay', 'Generator start/stop', 'Tank pump' and 'None' (disabled).
Polarity
Normally
open
Select the polarity of the relay on the back of the CCGX. 'Normally open' or 'Normally closed'. (Note that setting it to
normally closed increases the CCGX power draw.)

VRM two-way
communication
No Enable remote configuration and firmware updates. VE Power Setup manual
When using a VE.Bus system, it is possible to configure the severity of problems on the VE.Bus
system that should cause a notification to show up on the CCGX (and make it beep):
Disabled: The CCGX will never beep or show a notification
Alarm only: The CCGX will only beep and a show a notification when the VE.Bus system
switched off in an alarm condition.
Enabled (default): The CCGX will beep and show a notification
When all done, don't forget to change the access level to user when required.
