Victron Energy Skylla-i Control GX Remote Panel, For Skylla-i Chargers, Right Angle RJ45

Overview

The Victron Energy REC000300010R is a Skylla-i Control GX remote panel for Victron Skylla-i battery chargers, giving the helm, nav station, electrical panel, or equipment locker a clear way to monitor charger status and adjust charging behavior without going directly to the charger.

This panel works with all Skylla-i chargers and communicates over the VE.CAN bus using a regular UTP cable with RJ45 connectors. Once connected, it shows the status of the linked charger and lets the operator view key charging values including charge current, battery voltage, input current, and input current limit.

On boats with limited shore power, generator capacity, or shared AC loads at the dock, the input current limit control is especially useful. The rotary knob allows the current limit to be adjusted from the panel, helping match the charger load to the available AC supply.

Key features

• Remote control panel for Victron Skylla-i battery chargers.
• VE.CAN communication with RJ45 connections for straightforward integration with the charger.
• Displays charger status through LEDs for Bulk, Absorption, Float or storage, and Alarm states.
• Shows charge current, battery voltage, input current, and input current limit during normal charger operation.
• Rotary knob allows the charger input current limit to be adjusted from the panel.
• On and off button can switch the Skylla-i charger from the panel when the charger main switch is on.
• Automatic LED brightness control uses a light sensor, making the display easier to live with in darker cabins or engine-room spaces.
• Supports installations with several Skylla-i control panels on one charger or on synchronized, parallel-connected Skylla-i chargers.

Installation and setup

The panel connects to the Skylla-i charger with a standard UTP cable fitted with two RJ45 connectors. Both the charger and the panel have two internally connected RJ45 sockets, so either socket can be used for the connection. RJ45 bus terminators need to be fitted at both ends of the VE.CAN bus.

For a typical one-charger installation, no special configuration is needed once the panel, charger, cable, and terminators are in place. In more complex systems where multiple Skylla-i chargers are on the same VE.CAN network but charge different battery banks, the device instance may need to be set with an NMEA 2000 network tool.

Use on board

This remote panel suits vessels where the Skylla-i charger is installed away from the normal operating area, such as in an engine room, technical locker, lazarette, or under-berth electrical space. It gives the crew a more convenient point for checking charger behavior during marina charging, generator charging, commissioning, or battery-bank troubleshooting.

It is a practical match for cruising boats, workboats, and larger onboard DC systems where charging information needs to be visible without opening panels or working around live electrical equipment more often than necessary.
