Victron Energy Ekrano GX Monitoring and Control Display, 7 in Touchscreen, Flush Mount

Overview

The Victron Energy BPP900480100 is an Ekrano GX communication centre for monitoring and controlling Victron power systems from a helm, nav station, or electrical panel, using a built-in 7-inch touchscreen and an 8-70 VDC supply input.

It gives a live view of battery state of charge, power use, PV harvest, generator and shore power activity, tank levels, and temperature readings. On a boat, that makes it useful for checking the DC system before leaving the dock, watching loads during an overnight anchorage, or adjusting shore power input current when a marina pedestal has limited capacity.

The 1024 x 600 display has a maximum backlight brightness of 1000 cd/m2, with dimming through the built-in ambient light sensor or manual settings. Access is available from the touchscreen, Victron Remote Management, Remote Console over LAN or WiFi, VictronConnect for setup, and compatible Multi-Functional Display integration.

Key features

• 7-inch touchscreen with 1024 x 600 resolution and 1000 cd/m2 maximum backlight brightness for readable system status at the helm or electrical panel.
• Wide 8-70 VDC supply input suits common 12V, 24V, and 48V DC battery systems.
• Communication ports include 3 VE.Direct, 1 VE.Bus, 2 VE.Can, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth Smart, 2 USB host ports, and a microSD card slot.
• Monitors battery state of charge, consumption, PV harvest, shore and generator input, tank levels, temperature measurements, and alarms when connected devices and sensors are installed.
• Control functions include shore power input current limit, generator start and stop, system settings, diagnostics, and remote alarm follow-up.
• Flush panel or blind hole mounting with included mounting accessories; screw-on terminal blocks help keep power and relay wiring secure.
• Front protection rating is IP54 when mounted with the steel bracket, IP31 when mounted with springs, and IP21 at the back, so the rear of the unit should stay inside a protected console or panel space.

Installation and setup

The unit is made for an integrated panel installation rather than a loose display. It can be fitted with a cut-out for flush panel mounting, or mounted through blind holes with the supplied hardware. The body measures 124 x 187 x 29.8 mm without connectors and mounting accessories, so the space behind the panel should be checked for cable bend radius and access to terminal blocks.

Because the front and rear protection ratings differ, it belongs in a protected helm, cabin, nav station, electrical locker face, or enclosed console where the back of the unit is not exposed to spray or bilge moisture. The operating temperature range is -20 to +50 degrees C.

Electrical and system integration

For Victron systems with MultiPlus, Quattro, solar chargers, SmartShunt, VE.Direct devices, VE.Can equipment, tank senders, temperature inputs, and relay-controlled loads, the unit becomes the central screen and network gateway. The two relays are rated for DC up to 30 VDC at 3 A and AC at 1 A, 125 VAC, and can be used in supported control functions such as generator start and stop or alarms.

Remote monitoring works through the VRM portal when the installation has internet access. Local operation can stay on the touchscreen or Remote Console over LAN or WiFi, which is helpful when commissioning the system at the dock or checking settings from inside the cabin.

Use cases on board

This monitor is a strong match for cruising boats, fishing boats, and workboats that use or are being built around Victron charging, inverter, solar, and battery monitoring equipment. It is especially useful on boats with multiple charging sources, a generator, tank senders, or owners who want remote visibility while the vessel is unattended.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
