GlobalLink 520
Off-grid
should not mean off-line, The GlobalLink 520 is a device that will bring 4G LTE-M connectivity to all VE.Direct enabled devices
without any monthly fees or subscriptions, for the first five years.
Global Connectivity with 4G LTE-M
LTE-M is the abbreviation for LTE Cat-M1 or Long Term Evolution (4G),
category M1. This cellular technology is designed to connect Internet devices to existing 4G towers while using low energy. LTE-M does
support handovers and roaming so it is possible to use this device in a
moving vehicle like a campervan.
Coverage is increasing every week as local providers roll out support.
Your purchase includes 5 years of connectivity, so there is no need to
worry about purchasing a separate data bundle and SIM card.
System Monitoring & Control
The GlobalLink 520 comes with two communication ports, which allow
connecting up to two VE.Direct devices such as a BMV Battery Monitor
and/or an MPPT Solar Charge Controller directly to VRM. Compatible
Victron Smart products can be connected via BLE. With two digital inputs
that also act as pulse counters and a remote controllable relay, it's a
perfect solution to monitor and control your installation.
Built-In Antenna
The GlobalLink 520 comes with a built-in antenna that is designed to
work all around the globe. However, if you require better reception or
want to install your module in a utility van, for example, it is also
possible to mount an external antenna.
RuuviTag Support
The GlobalLink 520 now supports the RuuviTag temperature sensors. These battery-powered sensors connect via BLE and are easy to set up via
VictronConnect. All the data, like temperature, humidity, and air pressure
from the RuuviTag sensors, will directly be available in VRM.
Victron Remote Management
The online Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal provides you with
access to your installation, from anywhere, at any time. In VRM you can
check the status of your connected products, view detailed history
graphs of your energy, generate detailed analytical reports, and even
configure automatic alarms in case something goes wrong.
