Connect 2x E112 to a Venus GX

I’d like to be able to monitor the shore power coming in to my yacht and also the generator power when I’m away from shore power.

How can I connect the E112 in to the Venus GX?

Do I need 2x E112? Or can I put the inputs from my shore power and generator in to one E112?

The breakers for shore power and generator are right next to each other.

Hi, I think that its best to involve a Victron experienced installer.


If you have a Quattro or MultiPlus; you shouldnt be needing ET112’s for this.


And wrt combining them in one: no; you’d be shorting the generator to the shore.


Success!
