INTRODUCTION This document describes how to set up Selectronic inverter-chargers to create a managed (closed-loop) charge configuration with Discover Lithium batteries. 1. AUDIENCE, WARNINGS, MESSAGES, GENERAL SAFETY, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 1 .1 Audience Configuration, installations, service, and operating tasks should only be performed by qualified personnel in consultation with local authorities having jurisdiction and authorized dealers.
1 .3 General Warnings WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD • This equipment must only be installed as specified. • Do not disassemble or modify the battery. • If the battery case has been damaged, do not touch exposed contents. •...
• Do not wear rings, watches, bracelets, or necklaces. 2. DOCUMENTATION This Application Note provides information about integrating LYNK network-enabled Discover Lithium Batteries using the LYNK II Communication Gateway with Selectronic power conversion devices in a managed (closed-loop) configuration. Before installation and configuration, consult the relevant product documentation, including Manuals, Application Notes, Installation and Configuration Guides.
Discover Lithium batteries and power conversion equipment are as follows: • Review and confirm equipment compatibility and correct sizing. • 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.
A Discover battery must have a compatible network port, such as a LYNK Port, for communicating with a LYNK II device. • AES RACKMOUNT: 48-48-5120, 48-48-5120-H The LYNK II Communication Gateway is compatible with the following Selectronic devices: Selectronic Inverters •...
156 ADC 179 ADC Calculated based on the surge power and efficiency CEC as published in Selectronic SP PRO Series 2i Instruction Manual (Doc OI0003 Part 004122 Rev 42 - Feb 2023). Discover AES RACKMOUNT 48-48-5120/48-48-5120-H Battery, Peak Power: 218 A RMS (3 seconds), 95 A DC Continuous Charge/Discharge (reduced to 65 A to compensate for noise), as published in Discover AES RACKMOUNT Installation and Operation Manual (805-0043 Rev J).
4 .2 LYNK II CAN Out - RJ45 PIN Assignments for Selectronic 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. JUMPER CAN L...
• Do not plug an AEbus RJ45 network cable or terminator into the 10/100 Ethernet port of the LYNK II. • Do not connect a CAT5 or higher cable from the LYNK port of the LYNK II to a WAN or MODEM port of a network router.
LYNK II are configured correctly. Refer to 4.0 CAN Hardware Termination and CAN Out Pin Configuration. Insert one end of a CAT5e or higher communication cable into the LYNK II CAN out port and the other end into the J12 CAN port of the Selectronic inverter-charger.
3. Open LYNK ACCESS. Options for configuration and settings are found by selecting the LYNK tab. 4. Connect the LYNK II and open LYNK ACCESS. Ensure that you only have one LYNK device connected to the computer. 5. In LYNK ACCESS, select the LYNK tab. Select the blue gear icon in the upper right area of the CAN Settings tile.

6. In the Select Battery Configuration page, select the Standard Battery Configurations and myGrid kits option. Figure 8 . Select Battery Configuration 7. For the battery Model No, select Discover AES Rackmount 48-48-5120-H and accept the defaults. 8. In the Source of Renewables page, define the solar panels for the system. 9.
NOTICE • Do not use the maximum electrical specifications of the battery as listed in the battery manual. Trying to achieve maximum performance will cause the Selectronic inverter to shutdown without notice. • The Discover Lithium battery will communicate battery information to optimize charging performance.

NOTE • If a DC Solar Charge Controller is used with a SP PRO, there can be some conflicts when charging due to cable impedances. In some instances the displayed SoC on the SP PRO may not reach 100%. If the DC Solar Charge Controller is the main charging source, you may need to set the DC Solar Charge Controller 0.3 V greater than the SP PRO.
