Color Controller GX does not show DC loads

Hi,

I have an all Victron setup, including Lithium, CCGX, Quattro,Lynx ion Shunt, BMV, and MPPTs. The CCGX does not show DC loads. It only shows Grid/Genset, Invert, AC loads, PV, and Battery. Maybe I need a BMS with shunt to show all loads, but I thought the Lynx Ion 1000 shunt would show everything coming in and out of the battery. Maybe I am wrong.


I also read the below setup info in the not so good online manual the last sentence being somewhat surprising.


Rated at 1000 A

Setup

Setup is like setting up a BMV and this is done via the CCGX or VGX.

To find out the meaning of the various settings, please see the BMV manual

Please don’t use the 2-pin terminal block on the Lynx-shunt.


I noticed 2 wires in a snap in block not plugged in. when I plugged it in the ah usage became more accurate, but does not show up as a DC input output on the screen. It shows with in the shunt screen. Unplugging it has the amp hours much less. Plugging it in has it more accurate.


Is there a better schematic for this shunt? How do I get DC info to show on the CCGX?


Thanks,

Jon

Hi @j0n.st3wart,

Did you enable "Has DC System" under the CGX System Settings menu?

Best Regards
Riaan

I did not do the original config. I checked this was not set and that was the problem. Doh!


Thanks!
