  • Page 4: Safety Instructions

    SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS In general Please read the documentation supplied with this product first, so that you are familiar with the safety signs en directions before using the product. This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only.
  • Page 5 0,8W @ 26,2V and 1,5W @ 52,4V, instead of 77mW and 187mW. The Lynx Ion firmware version is displayed at the Diagnostics page on the Ion Control display. It is also printed on a label, which can be found on the back of the Lynx Ion. To update the firmware, contact your Victron Energy representative.
  • Page 6 The battery differentiates itself from other batteries thanks to its safety contactor. This breaks the connection between the battery and the rest of the system when the Lynx Ion is unable to disconnect the external equipment due to complications.

  • Page 8: Installation

    INSTALLATION This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer. Safety precautions Be careful when using metal tools in vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a battery might cause a short-circuit and possibly an explosion. Always use isolated tool when working with batteries. Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery.
  • Page 9 Connecting the Lynx components The Lynx system must be connected in the following order from left to right: to right: Lynx Power In (optional) Lynx Ion Lynx Shunt VE.Can Lynx Distributor (optional) Procedure First remove all fronts from the Lynx components.
  • Page 10 Two termination resistors (supplied with the Lynx Shunt VE.Can) Procedure Use connection D of the Lynx Ion, the pair of RJ-45 sockets at lower left. Connect the CAT5 cable to the Lynx Ion, connection D (see Appendix A). Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the Lynx Shunt VE.Can.
  • Page 11 ‘+’ contact to the ‘-’ of the next battery). The Lynx Ion will now start and is placed in standby state. Make sure a main switch is connected between the ‘+’ of the battery and the Lynx Power In.
  • Page 12 A connection ‘B’. The ‘external safety contactor’ output can be used for switching an external safety contactor. This contact can switch 10ADC and the output voltage is the same as the supply voltage of the Lynx Ion. It switches the same way as the internal safety contactor.
  • Page 13 There are two options to install an external safety contactor: Use an external contactor with a 12VDC coil and connect it inside the Lynx Ion Use an external contactor with a 12VDC coil and connect it inside the Lynx Ion •...
  • Page 14 To connect the coil of the external connector it is important to check which coil voltage it has. Coil voltage Remarks 12VDC Connect to the right blue connector inside the Lynx Ion. Same as where the internal contactor was connected. check ‘+’ and ‘-‘. 24VDC Can only be used when connecting to a 24V system. Must be connected to the external contactor connection.
  • Page 15 Example schematic of connecting the contactor to connector ‘B’. If connecting an external contactor to connector ‘B’ always check if the coil If connecting an external contactor to connector ‘B’ always check if the coil voltage of the contactor is equal to the busbar voltage. Also check if voltage of the contactor is equal to the busbar voltage.
  • Page 16 CONFIGURING A MULTI OR QUATTRO The Multi is controlled by the Lynx Ion, 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. The allow-to-discharge signal contact will open.
  • Page 17 Start VEConfigure3, and configure the Li-ion BMS Support assistant as follows:...

  • Page 18: First Power Up

    The Lynx Ion will pre-charge the system before closing the 350A safety contactor. The Lynx Ion will not start if there is more than 10A drawn by the system during pre-charging. Press the START-button on the front of the Lynx Ion.

  • Page 19: Temperature Protection

    TEMPERATURE PROTECTION The Lynx Ion 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.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The Lynx Ion 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.
