This product must be installed by a qualified electrician/technician. All installations must adhere to local wiring regulations and standards. Amperion - SunStore will not be held liable for any product malfunctions as a result of incorrectly installed systems.
The GlobalLink 530 and GlobalLink 520 connect remote Victron systems or individual Victron products to VRM, the
Victron Remote Management portal. VRM provides access to both real-time and historical data from the
connected system, including battery voltage, state of charge, and PV yield. Use of the VRM portal is free of charge.
A key feature of the GlobalLink is the included pre-installed and pre-paid SIM card. It comes with 5 years of cellular
connectivity, eliminating the need to purchase, install, or manage a separate SIM card.
GlobalLink 520 vs GlobalLink 530
The difference between the GlobalLink 520 and GlobalLink 530 is the cellular connectivity.
The GlobalLink 520 uses LTE-M, a low-power cellular technology designed specifically for IoT applications. While
LTE-M is an excellent fit in supported regions, its availability is limited in many parts of the world.
The GlobalLink 530 uses standard 4G LTE connectivity—the same network technology used by smartphones—and
also supports 2G as a fallback where available. This provides broader global coverage and greater deployment
flexibility.
For most countries, including Canada, the GlobalLink 530 is the recommended choice due to its wider network
compatibility. The exception is the United States, where the GlobalLink 520 remains the recommended model, as
the GlobalLink 530 is not certified for use on US cellular networks.
