DESCRIPTION

Victron Zigbee to USB Converter Kit: Wireless Energy Monitoring for GX Devices

Reliable Wireless Connectivity for Victron Energy Systems

The Victron Zigbee to USB converter kit provides a robust wireless link between a Victron Energy Meter and a GX device, eliminating the need for RS485 cabling in installations where running wires is impractical. This pair of converters uses the Zigbee 2007 protocol to deliver stable, long-range communication, making it an effective solution for remote energy monitoring in caravans, marine vessels, and off-grid power systems.

Engineered for professional use, the kit includes a Zigbee to USB converter (DRF2658C) that connects directly to the GX device’s USB port, and a Zigbee to RS485 converter (DRF2659C) that interfaces with the Energy Meter. Together, they form a transparent wireless bridge, maintaining the data integrity required for accurate system monitoring and control.

Designed for Demanding Environments

Built with a durable metal enclosure and an external high-gain antenna, these converters are suited to industrial and mobile applications. The wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions, from freezing cold to intense heat. The integrated mounting flanges allow secure installation on walls or panels, reducing the risk of damage from vibration or movement.

  • Long transmission range — up to 1600 m in open line-of-sight, reducing the need for repeaters in large installations
  • Industrial-grade durability — metal housing and wide temperature tolerance for harsh environments
  • Simple setup — pre-configured as a router with default PAN ID and channel for quick pairing
  • Status LEDs — visual indicators for transmission, reception, and active status simplify troubleshooting
  • Low standby current — 40 mA (max) minimises power draw on the USB port

Seamless Integration with Victron GX Devices

This converter kit is purpose-built for Victron’s ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with Color Control GX, Venus GX, Cerbo GX, and other GX devices. By replacing a wired RS485 connection with a Zigbee wireless link, installers can place the Energy Meter up to 1600 m away without signal degradation, simplifying system layout and reducing cable costs. The USB interface is powered directly from the GX device’s 5 V port, so no external power supply is needed.

The Zigbee 2007 protocol operates in the 2.4 GHz band, with a default frequency of 2460 MHz (Channel 22), which can be adjusted to avoid interference from other wireless equipment. The UART baud rate is configurable from 9600 bps to 115200 bps, with a default of 38400 bps, providing flexibility for different data throughput requirements.

Applications in Off-Grid and Mobile Energy Systems

This wireless solution is particularly valuable in installations where running RS485 cable is difficult or costly, such as:

  • Caravans and motorhomes with distributed battery and metering components
  • Marine vessels where cable routing through bulkheads is restricted
  • Remote off-grid sheds or cabins with separate power monitoring points
  • Industrial sites requiring flexible sensor placement

By enabling wireless energy monitoring, the kit helps maintain full visibility of power consumption and generation without compromising on data accuracy or system reliability.

Enhance Your Victron System with Wireless Monitoring

Add the Victron Zigbee to USB converter kit to your installation today and simplify your energy monitoring setup. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or designing a new off-grid solution, this wireless bridge delivers the dependable connectivity needed for informed energy management.
