How to replace a Cerbo GX with no loss of data, I do not know.
I replaced my old, still working, but continuously restarting Cerbo GX and had still to reinstall some settings.
Replacing a Victron Color Control or Cerbo GX by a new one
The procedure is simpel but in the internet I found some different ways to do it. That is why I wrote my own experience.
- Replace the old Cerbo by the new one and do not forget to swap the Micro SD Card also.
- Plug the new Cerbo GX in to a LAN or connect to wifi with the the Victron Conecct app.
- After this do NOT change any settings on the new Cerbo but just login to the VRM via a browser via this link.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page to : Replace an existing GX device. Click on it and fill out , VRM Portal ID of replacement device whick you find printed on the new device.
- That’s all
Lost settings:
- Access tot Cerbo via local network or VRM
- Via settings VRM online portal you can change these permissions
- Local IP address changed
- I check my Vixtron status oft via an iPad in the driver cabin. Therefore I need the local Cerbo IP address to login
- Time and time zone where reset.
- In settings menu I had to enable: Has DC system
- Extra sensors where lost
Lost sensors
The extra sensors where not visible anymore. Therefore I added them again and also via the settings menu I had to change the sensor type, name etc.
First, via the VRM/Cerbo menu I/O I added my bluetooth temperature sensors and via analog input the watertank meter and the extra Victron battery temperature sensor.
Ruuvi bluetooth thermometer via Devices menu, I could change sensor type, name, etc
Analog watermeter via Devices menu I changed the type of sensor, Tank capacity, Fluid type and the unit to liters.
