Using the I/O of the Lynx Ion + Shunt Allow-to-charge and allow-to-discharge The most important contacts are ‘allow-to-charge’ and ‘allow-to-discharge’. These are used to control loads and chargers based on the battery state of charge. These contacts are potential free, and normally open. They are closed when the system is normally working.

CONFIGURING A MULTI OR QUATTRO The Multi is controlled by the Lynx Ion + Shunt, via the allow-to-charge and allow-to- discharge contacts. State of Charge 100% The batteries are discharged too low. The 350A safety contactor in the Lynx Ion will open. The batteries are discharged.

Configure the Lynx-Ion BMS Support assistant as follows:...
FIRST POWER UP Other than below procedure, no configuration is needed. The battery configuration is automatically recognized. Power up procedure Make sure that all energy consumers are switched off before starting up the system. The Lynx Ion + Shunt will pre-charge the system before closing the safety contactor.
TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The Lynx Ion + Shunt constantly monitors the battery temperatures, and protects them according below rules. In case the temperature is outside the limits, it will first signal the chargers and/or loads via the allow-to-charge and allow-to-discharge contacts. It will open the safety contactor if there is no response.
MAINTENANCE The Lynx Ion + Shunt does not require specific maintenance. It will suffice to check all connections once a year. Avoid moisture and oil/soot/vapors, and keep the device clean.
