• Configure the LYNK II CAN out pins to match the CAN in pins of the power conversion equipment. • Mount the LYNK II, connect the Discover battery communication network to either the LYNK Port or AEbus Port, and then connect the CAN Out Port to the power conversion equipment's communication network.
Figure 1. System Overview 3 .2 Compatibility Discover Lithium Batteries A Discover battery must have a compatible network port, such as a LYNK Port or AEbus Port, for communicating with a LYNK II device. • AES RACKMOUNT: 48-48-5120, 48-48-5120-H Deye Inverters...
• SUN-3/4/5/6/8/10/12K-SG05LP3-EU-SM2 3 .3 Minimum Battery System Capacity The Discover Lithium Battery and Deye device automatically manage the battery charge and discharge rates. Using large solar arrays with battery banks that are too small can exceed the operating limits of the battery to charge and possibly lead to the BMS triggering over-current protection.

NOTE LYNK II terminates the AEbus and LYNK Network by default. Do not remove the termination jumper inside LYNK II unless instructed to do so by Discover Energy Systems. 4 .2 LYNK II CAN Out - RJ45 PIN Assignments for Deye Inverters CAN signals (CAN H, CAN L, CAN GND) can be assigned to any pin of the RJ45 connector on the LYNK II by adjusting the jumpers on the header board.
38.00 465.90 459.30 • Discover Lithium batteries must be set to ON to supply power and communicate data with LYNK II. AES RACKMOUNT Figure 3. AES RACKMOUNT Battery Module Both LYNK II and AES RACKMOUNT Battery Modules are internally terminated. No extra termination is required.
6 . ENABLING LYNK II TO COMMUNICATE WITH DEYE DEVICES When properly connected to a closed-loop network and set to use the Deye protocol, LYNK II will transmit real-time parameters from the Discover Lithium battery, including voltage, current, temperature, state of charge, and fault conditions to a Deye inverter-charger.
Deye inverter-charger will eventually put the attached battery into an overcharged or fully discharged state. When that occurs, either situation will trigger the Discover Lithium Battery BMS to self-protect and disconnect the battery from the system.

Inverter AC output continues when the battery reaches the specified SOC. TEMPCO (mv/C/Cell) Set to 0 mv/C/Cell. Batt Resistance Keep the default value of 25 mOhms. Discover Lithium batteries do not require temperature compensation. Setting TEMPCO to 0 mv/C/Cell disables inverter controlled temperature compensation.
