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 the LYNK Port and then connect the LYNK II’s CAN Out Port to the power conversion equipment's communication network.
BMS and the Solis power conversion device is restored. 3.2 Minimum Battery System Capacity The Discover Lithium Battery and Solis 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.

Solis inverter to an open-loop configuration. Refer to A.1 Solis Open-Loop Configuration. NOTE Neither Discover Lithium batteries nor LYNK II directly control Solis relay functions, generator starting or other grid-interactive features. These functions are controlled through the programming of the Solis inverter- charger.
After selecting the Solis communication protocol for the LYNK II, complete the closed-loop configuration on the Solis inverter-charger. Ensure the Discover Lithium Batteries are networked with LYNK II and that the LYNK II is connected to the Solis CAN port.
6.2.1 Closed-loop Configuration Refer to the latest Discover Energy Systems documentation for battery values and the latest Solis documentation for menu navigation and details on the setup procedure. Set the Discover Lithium batteries to ON and set the inverter to ON.
