VRM Portal ID - Use this value when registering the GX device onto the VRM
Portal
Log interval 15 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.
Use secure connection
(HTTPS)
Yes This encrypts the communication between the GX device and the
VRM server.
Last contact - Time since the VRM server was last contacted.
Connection error - Displayed if there is an error in VRM communications. See here
for more details on troubleshooting VRM errors. [48]
VRM two-way
communication
No Enable remote configuration and firmware updates.
Reboot device when no
contact
No The GX device will reset itself to attempt to correct a potential
networking issue if the internet connection is lost for the set delay
period.
No contact reset delay
(hh:mm)
01:00 How long the unit must be offline before restarting itself
Storage location Internal storage Displays if an external storage device (eg USB drive or microSD
card) is mounted, or the internal storage is in use.
Free disk space -
microSD/USB - Select to Safely Eject an external microSD or USB storage (if
one is connected) before physically removing it. Failure to do so
can cause data loss.
Stored records - How many records are stored locally when no internet
connection is available. The GX device will store as many
records as it can locally, then upload them when internet is
available again.
Oldest record age - If internet/VRM is not available, then this will display the oldest
record stored on the GX device.
ESS - An Energy Storage System (ESS) is a specific type of power system that integrates a power grid connection with a
Victron Inverter/Charger, GX device and battery system. Read full feature description.
Mode Optimized (with
BatteryLife)

Keep batteries charged, External control
Grid Meter Leave default when there is no External Victron grid meter is
installed.
Inverter AC output in use Yes Setting this to 'No' hides the AC-out graphic in the overview
pane.
Multiphase regulation - Use the Phase compensation setting in systems with a three-
phase connection to the utility grid.
Minimum SOC (unless grid
fails)
10% Configurable minimum SOC limit. ESS will supply loads from the
grid once the SOC has fallen to the configured setting - except
when the utility grid has failed and the system is in Inverter
mode.
Active SOC limit 10% Use this setting to see the current BatteryLife SOC level.
BatteryLife state Self-Consumption Self-consumption, Discharge disabled, Slow charge, Sustain,
