The Victron Temperature Sensor Type C is an accessory for Victron GX devices, used for battery or ambient temperature monitoring within a Victron solar monitoring system. It connects directly to a GX device and sends temperature data to VRM and the local display, helping installers and operators protect battery health and manage charging.

Key features

• Compatibility, works with Victron GX devices including the Cerbo GX, Color Control GX and Venus GX.
• Live readings, temperature data is visible on the GX display and through the VRM online portal.
• Weight, 97 g, easy to route and position in confined enclosures.
• Ordering reference, SKU ASS000020000, GTIN 8719076048039.
• Purpose, suited to battery monitoring applications needing temperature compensation or thermal protection.

Product overview

Victron GX devices have a dedicated temperature sensor input. The Type C sensor uses this input to send continuous temperature data into the system, which can trigger alerts, adjust charge parameters or simply log conditions over time through VRM. This matters in battery installations, since operating temperature affects charge acceptance and cycle life.

Adding the sensor to an existing Victron system running a GX device needs no extra hardware or interfaces beyond the GX unit itself. Temperature data logs automatically alongside other system metrics, keeping everything in one place.

Applications

• Battery temperature monitoring in off-grid solar installations using Victron GX devices.
• Ambient temperature logging in battery enclosures or plant rooms.
• Thermal protection and alert configuration via VRM for remote or unattended sites.
• Temperature compensation support in lead-acid or lithium battery systems managed by a Victron GX unit.

What's in the box

• 1 x Victron Temperature Sensor Type C (ASS000020000)

Installation notes

The sensor connects to the temperature input on a compatible Victron GX device. Check the GX device firmware is up to date so the sensor is fully recognised and logged. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or solar installer familiar with Victron GX systems. Position the sensor so it accurately reflects the temperature of the component being monitored, away from direct heat sources that could skew readings.
