- | ==== 2. Wiring of communication cables ==== | ||
- | To use the BMZ ESS in Victron system, it is necessary to use a Color Control GX. The Color Control GX takes care of sending the necessary canbus keep-a-live message to the ESS battery. Without it, the battery will open its internal emergency relay after 10 minutes. | ||
