Description

GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) was developed by the IMO to improve maritime distress and safety communications. The Skylla-TG GMDSS charger is designed to provide all the required monitoring and alarm data, with the battery and the GMDSS system connected directly to the charger. A built-in battery controller fully monitors capacity so the optional VE.Net GMDSS panel can show battery time-to-go in the event of a power blackout.

It charges 24 V batteries at up to 50 A from a 90-265 VAC supply using the IUoUo three-step characteristic, with temperature-compensated charging. The system is pre-programmed and ''click and go'', and connects to the panel with a standard eight-wire UTP cable.

Built in a sea-water-resistant aluminium enclosure finished in Victron blue, force-cooled and rated IP21, it also complies with IEC 60945 for maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment.

What is GMDSS and what is this charger for?
GMDSS is the IMO Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. The Skylla-TG 24/50 GMDSS is a charger and power supply purpose-built for these installations, providing all the required monitoring and alarm data with the battery and GMDSS system connected directly to the charger.
Does it show how much battery time is left?
Yes. It has a built-in battery controller that fully monitors battery capacity, and with the optional VE.Net GMDSS panel it shows battery time-to-go in the event of a power blackout.
What is the charge output?
It charges 24 V batteries at up to 50 A from a 90 to 265 VAC supply, using the IUoUo three-step charge characteristic.
Is it pre-configured for use?
Yes. The panels are pre-programmed for click-and-go operation, and the charger connects to the panel with a standard eight-wire UTP cable.
Does it meet maritime standards?
Yes. It complies with IEC 60945 for maritime navigation and radiocommunication equipment, in addition to the EN 60335 safety standards.
