Comparative Analysis of Lineup Models

Integration with Garmin Navigation Chartplotters and Analogs

Synchronization of the Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 48/13 (1) 120/240V smart charger module with modern chartplotters from Garmin, Raymarine, Navico, and Furuno is carried out using GX series communication equipment from Victron Energy (for example, the Cerbo GX controller). This allows transmitting information about charging stages, energy consumption volumes, and other parameters directly to the main screen of the vessel's system.

Advantages of System Integration:

Centralized Control: All key information regarding the power grid is displayed on a single monitor, which significantly simplifies the tracking process.

Ease of Administration: You can adjust the charger settings directly through the graphical interface of your chartplotter.

Enhanced Safety: Timely receipt of instant service notifications about potential malfunctions or deviations in the electrical circuit.
