Victron GX GSM Modem & GPS Accessory for GX Devices

The GX GSM is a modem and GPS accessory for our GX range of monitoring products. The GX GSM is a cellular modem; providing a mobile internet for the system and connection to the VRM Portal. It works on 2G and 3G networks.

Features:

• The GX GSM includes a built-in GPS receiver. When the optional active GPS antenna is installed, the system can be tracked as well as geo-fenced on the VRM Porta
• The GX GSM can be used with any of the GX devices and requires Venus OS v2.22 or newer to be installed on the GX device.
• It requires a SIM card of the Mini-SIM format and connects to the GX device with an included 1m USB cable

Installation Step-by-step:

• Mount the device in a place that is not covered by metal objects. Consider using the optional outdoor antenna when installing the GX GSM in a closed metal enclosure, car, or van to increase the range.
• Mount the supplied antenna to the SMA connector marked GSM or connect an optional external outdoor antenna if required
• An optional active GPS antenna is screwed onto the SMA connector labeled GPS.
• Insert the SIM card. You will need to eject the SIM card tray with a pen or other pointy object. Be aware that the SIM card tray sits slightly recessed inside the unit. Be sure to push it all the way in.
• Connect the GX GSM to the GX device with the supplied USB cable. Use a USB hub if all USB sockets are already in use.
• Connect the DC power supply (8 to 70 VDC). A 1.4 m cable with M10 cable lugs and a built-in Slow Blow fuse 3.15A 250V, 5x20mm is included. Pay attention to the correct polarity as labeled on the front sticker.
• After power-up, the blue LED will be solid blue. Once it has registered on a network, the LED will start blinking slowly. Finally, when the internet connection is established, the LED will blink quickly
