Product catalog summary
Safety Precautions
Ensure all positive battery poles are disconnected before removing the Lynx front cover to avoid working on live busbars. Qualified personnel should handle the Lynx Shunt VE.Can, adhering to battery safety warnings. Store in a dry environment with temperatures between -40°C and +65°C. Use original packaging for transport to avoid damage.
Introduction
The Lynx Shunt VE.Can is a component of the Lynx Distribution System, designed to monitor battery status and manage power distribution. It integrates with GX devices and can be monitored via the VictronConnect App. The system includes components like Lynx Power In, Lynx Distributor, and Lynx Smart BMS, each serving specific functions in power distribution and battery management.
Features
The Lynx Shunt VE.Can includes a main system fuse, a battery monitor, and an alarm relay. The alarm relay can be programmed based on battery state, voltage, temperature, or fuse status. A temperature sensor can be added for battery temperature monitoring, with data logged on the VRM portal.
Communication and Interfacing
The Lynx Shunt VE.Can connects to GX devices and can interface with NMEA2000 networks using specific cables. It supports various NMEA2000 PGNs for detailed status and battery information.
System Design
The Lynx distribution system can be configured with various modules to form a continuous busbar system. Proper orientation and connection of modules are crucial for accurate battery monitoring. The system can include components like Lynx Power In, Lynx Distributor, and lead-acid batteries.
System Sizing
Lynx modules are rated for 1000A at 12, 24, or 48V, with power ratings indicating the size of the connected inverter/charger system. Fusing and cabling must match the system's current and voltage requirements.
Installation
Mechanical connections involve securing modules with M8 bolts and ensuring proper insulation. Electrical connections require M8 cable lugs and correct placement of components. The main fuse, temperature sensor, and alarm relay must be correctly installed. The GX device connects via RJ45 cables, with terminators at both ends of the VE.Can network.
Configuration and Settings
Configuration involves setting up the Lynx Shunt VE.Can with the GX device for monitoring and control, ensuring all parameters are correctly programmed for optimal operation.
Commissioning and Operation
The commissioning process involves checking the polarity and cross-sectional area of all DC cables, ensuring cable lugs are crimped correctly, and verifying tight cable connections. After these checks, turn on a load to confirm the battery monitor displays the correct current polarity and fully charge the battery for synchronization. The device becomes active when power is applied and monitors the battery's state of charge and fuse status. LED indicators provide operational status, with various colors and blinking patterns indicating system status.
Battery Monitor Settings
This section details settings for accurate battery monitoring, including battery capacity, charged voltage, tail current, and Peukert exponent. The Peukert exponent accounts for discharge rate effects on battery capacity, with default settings provided for lead-acid and lithium batteries. Charge efficiency and current threshold settings help optimize battery performance.
Troubleshooting and Support
For unexpected behavior or suspected faults, consult the troubleshooting chapter. Common issues include cabling problems, which can cause cables to heat up. Ensure all connections are tightened to the specified torque and that cable cores are appropriately sized for the current. When a fuse blows immediately after installation, check for a short circuit, malfunctioning load, or if the circuit current exceeds the fuse rating.
Warranty and Technical Specifications
The product has a 5-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. It excludes damage from misuse, unauthorized repairs, and non-compliance with manual instructions. Technical specifications include a supply voltage range of 9 - 70 VDC, a current rating of 1000A, and environmental conditions such as an operating and storage temperature range of -40°C to +60°C.
