Is there any documentation on the GX Touch 50 other than the short video? Something like an operating manual or similar?

GX Touch 50 Manual
not specifically for the GX 50 alone. It's covered in the Cerbo GX Manual.
Hi guys, does anybody know what the IP rating for the Touch 50 is?
Stefanie,
The Cerbo GX Manual only makes reference to the Touch 50 as an option and doesn't offer any detail on configuration, operation, or anything else that I can find. From the video it looks like the Touch 50 uses the remote console interface to drive the video. The questions that arise are what does the display show when you connect it to the Cerbo GX, can you customize what the display shows, can you fully configure the Cerbo GX from the Touch 50 and things like that.

Tom, the Touch 50 is just a display. More or less like any other HDMI display.
There is nothing specific ie. a button or something else. It's plug and play and you can use it like a touch display. The configuration depends on connected devices and of course on the firmware version of Venus OS, the operating system of the Cerbo GX.
Yes, it's the remote console that comes with your Cerbo GX and which will show up on the display. As referenced in the other post, the setup of the Cerbo GX is in Cerbo GX manual and is showing different screenshots, depending on the devices of your installation and how they are configured. That is what the Touch 50 can display.
Yes, you can setup the Cerbo and all devices, which are connected to the Cerbo either by VE.Direct or VE.Bus, from the Touch 50.
Hope that helps.
That helps a lot Stefanie. The remote console is kind of a known quantity, but when you have to also deal with VE Configure and Victron Connect, what you can do with a given interface is sometimes confusing. I'll be starting my installation next week of a Multiplus, Cerbo GX with Touch 50, and Smart Shunt on a boat and wanted to be understand the keyboard work since it looked to be more complicated than installing the equipment.
