Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1. Safety Precautions 1.1. Safety Warnings Lynx Distribution System • Do not work on live busbars. Ensure that the busbar is unpowered by disconnecting all positive battery poles prior to removing the Lynx front cover. • Work on batteries should be carried out by qualified personnel only. Observe the battery safety warnings as listed in the battery manual. 1.2. Transport and Storage Store this product in a dry environment. The storage temperature should be: -40°C to +65°C. No liability can be accepted for damage in transit if the equipment is not transported in its...

Lynx Shunt VE.Can 2. Introduction 2.1. The Lynx Shunt VE.Can The Lynx Shunt VE.Can contains a positive and negative busbar, a battery monitor and a fuse holder for the main system fuse. It is part of the Lynx Distribution system. The Lynx Distributor has a power LED. The Lynx Shunt VE.Can can communicate via VE.Can with an GX device. The Lynx Shunt VE.Can - with and without cover The Lynx Shunt VE.Can ships with two RJ45 VE.Can terminators, these are used when connecting to a GX device. Two RJ45 VE.Can terminators The Lynx Shunt VE.Can is designed to hold a CNN fuse. The fuse needs to be...

The fuse is being monitored by the Lynx Shunt VE.Can and, if the fuse blows, the power LED turns red and an alarm message is sent to the GX device. The relay can be driven by the blown fuse parameter. 3.3. Battery Monitor (shunt) The Lynx Shunt VE.Can battery monitor operates in a similar fashion as the other Victron Energy battery monitors. It contains a shunt and battery monitor electronics. Readout of the battery monitor data is via a GX device...

If used, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can will measure the temperature of the battery and can be used to drive the Lynx Shunt VE.Can alarm relay. The temperature data or temperature alarms will also be sent to the GX device and from there to the VRM portal. On the VRM portal the temperature data is logged and can be accessed. Figure 1. VRM data logging battery temperature example Example of VRM battery temperature data logging

Lynx Shunt VE.Can 4.1. GX Device The Lynx Smart BMS can be connected to a GX device via VE.Can. The GX device will show all measured parameters, operational state, battery SoC and alarms. 4.2. NMEA2000 Communication with a NMEA2000 network can be established via the Lynx Shunt VE.Can VE.Can connection together with a VE.Can to NMEA2000 micro-C male cable.

Lynx Shunt VE.Can 5. System Design 5.1. Lynx distribution system parts A Lynx distribution system consists of a single Lynx Shunt VE.Can module. Then, single, multiple or a combination of Lynx Distributor modules and/or Lynx Power In modules are added. Together they form a continuous negative and positive busbar with DC connections and, depending on the configuration, integrated fuses, a battery monitor and/or lithium battery management. 5.1.1. Interconnecting Lynx modules Each Lynx module can connect to other Lynx modules on the left side (M8 hole) and on the right side (M8 bolt). If the...

System sizing 5.2.1. Current rating Lynx modules The Lynx Distributor, Lynx Shunt VE.Can and the Lynx Power In are rated for a nominal current of 1000A, for 12, 24 or 48 System voltages. To give an idea of how much power the Lynx modules are rated at different voltages, see below table. The power rating will give you an indication how big the connected inverter/charger system...

Lynx Shunt VE.Can CNN fuse dimensions in inches (mm) Always use fuses with the correct voltage and current rating. Match the fuse rating to the maximum voltages and currents that potentially can occur in the fused circuit. For more information on fuse ratings and fuse current calculations see the Wiring Unlimited book. The total value of the fuses of all circuits should not be more than the current rating of the Lynx module, or the Lynx model with the lowest current rating in case of multiple Lynx modules are used. 5.2.3. Cabling The current rating of the wires or cables used to connect the...
