Victron Energy Skylla-TG Charger 24/30 GMDSS for Maritime Safety Systems

Skylla-TG Charger - 24/30 GMDSS

This Victron Skylla-TG 24/30 Charger has been designed to provide all required monitoring and alarm data. Both the battery and the GMDSS system are connected directly to the charger. Data and alarms are displayed on a digital panel (VE.Net GMDSS panel, to be ordered separately). A standard eight-wire UTP cable connects the charger to the panel.

GMDSS

The Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) was developed by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to improve maritime distress and safety communications.

Power Supply

The Skylla TG has proven itself to be an excellent battery charger and power supply for GMDSS applications. However, when using a standard Skylla charger, additional equipment is needed to perform the monitoring and alarm functions required for GMDSS.

Installation Made Easy: The Skylla GMDSS

The Victron Skylla GMDSS Charger has been designed to provide all required monitoring and alarm data. Both the battery and the GMDSS system are connected directly to the charger.

No Adjustments Needed

The whole system is click and go: the panels are pre-programmed for GMDSS functionality. A simple, intuitive menu allows changing of settings if required.

Battery Time To Go

The Skylla GMDSS charger has a built-in battery controller. The capacity of the battery is fully monitored, so the panel can even indicate the time to go in case of a power supply blackout.

Perfect Charger for Any Type of Battery

Charge voltage can be precisely adjusted to suit any VRLA or flooded battery system.
