Description

Photonic Universe is an official distributor of products from Victron Energy – the globally renowned manufacturer of high-quality hybrid power electronics. Victron Energy products have a longstanding reputation for their outstanding reliability, innovative design, and superior build quality.

Function:

The Ekrano GX is Victron Energy’s most powerful all-in-one system monitoring solution, featuring a large built-in touchscreen display. It functions as the central communication hub of your installation, connecting all Victron system components—such as inverters/chargers, solar chargers, and batteries—to provide complete control and visibility.

With its integrated 7” display, high-performance processor, and a full suite of connectivity options, the Ekrano GX allows you to monitor and optimise your system both locally and remotely. Whether on-site or away, you can access your system through the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal, a Multi Functional Display (MFD), or the VictronConnect App via Bluetooth. The Ekrano GX also supports remote firmware updates and allows settings to be changed remotely.

Key features:

• Seamless monitoring & control: Instantly view battery state of charge, power consumption, PV harvest, generator or mains input, and more—all from the integrated 7" touchscreen. You can also monitor tank levels, temperatures, and other sensor data. Control functions such as the shore power input current limit or generator auto-start based on user-defined conditions (outlined in the user manual). The Ekrano GX offers full remote access for adjusting settings, receiving alerts, and conducting system diagnostics.
• Internet connectivity: Connect the Ekrano GX to the internet to unlock the full potential of the Victron Remote Management Portal. This allows you to view real-time and historical system data, configure email alerts, and download energy reports in CSV and Excel formats. With an active internet connection, the unit automatically checks for firmware updates and installs them in the background, keeping your system up to date and secure.
• Integrated touchscreen interface: The built-in 7" full-colour display eliminates the need for a separate GX Touch display. The display offers instant access to key system information and settings via a sleek, user-friendly interface. This all-in-one design simplifies installation and improves the overall usability of the system.
• Advanced performance and connectivity: The Ekrano GX is equipped with a powerful processor and a wide array of input/output connections, including multiple VE.Direct and VE.Can ports, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, and digital inputs/outputs. It supports larger systems and complex integrations, including up to 25 simultaneously connected VE.Can solar chargers.
• NMEA 2000-out function: As with other GX devices, the Ekrano GX supports NMEA 2000 communication, making it ideal for marine installations. When enabled, Victron data is transmitted over the NMEA 2000 network and can be read by compatible MFDs or chart plotters. This allows for seamless integration with existing boat electronics, offering a complete overview of your power system on a single marine display.
• Flexible mounting and configuration: The Ekrano GX is designed with both professional installers and end-users in mind. Its slim, panel-mountable form factor and front-facing display eliminate the need for separate screens or cutouts. It is easily configured via Bluetooth using the VictronConnect App or accessed through a web browser on the local network.
• Outsmart any power challenge: The Ekrano GX supports a wide variety of energy solutions. For off-grid and backup systems, it ensures batteries remain fully charged and ready to provide power during outages. In solar systems, it can divert excess power to self-consumption. For marine, campervan, or emergency vehicle installations, it ensures all vital systems run smoothly and efficiently, with full monitoring and control at your fingertips.
