-The lynx power in module is used to connect batteries. It contains a negative and positive DC bus-bar with M8 bolts in which to connect batteries cables.+The lynx power in module is used to connect batteries via an external fuse. It can be useful if you have multiple parallel strings. Due to the extremely high short circuit current potential of most battery banks, it is suggested to use an external fuse system with an appropriate fault current interruption rating (such as an NH HRC)
  
 +The Power In contains a negative and positive DC bus-bar with M8 bolts in which to connect batteries cables. It can take cables up to 22 mm in diameter through the bottom entry guides, and no limit via the two side connections.

 +===== Lynx Distributor ===== 
 +

 + 
 +Contains a positive and negative bus-bar and provides a connection for 4 individual DC equipment circuits, loads or DC groups. It has a space for individual DC fuses per DC group. 
 + 
 +The studs for the fuses are M8. 
 + 
 +There is an optional feature of an LED for each fuse to indicate if fuse is blown.  
 + 
 +If you wish to use the fuse indication LEDs on the Lynx Distributor, it also requires a connection to a Lynx Shunt. The Lynx Shunt contains the necessary wide input (8 to 70VDC) power supply to output the required 5V (4,5V-5,5V) power requirement of the Lynx Distributor circuit board. 
 + 
 +RJ10 fly leads are used to connect the Lynx Shunt to the Distributor. This RJ10 cable is supplied with the Distributor in the box. There are two ports on the Lynx Shunt, and it is possible to use either. 
 + 
 +When all is OK, only the central LED is green; when a fuse has blown (or is missing) the central and blow fuse circuit LEDs turn red. If you are not using all connection points in your DC distribution, it may be necessary to fit dummy fuses to extinguish the red LEDs. 
 +==== Fuses ==== 
 +Uses MEGA fuses. Please note that some MEGA fuses are only rated to 36Volt (suitable for 24V systems), You must use 58/64V rated fuses for 48V systems. 
 + 
 +==== Installation ==== 
 + 
 +Connectors and dip-switches: 
 +  * The R10 connector is to power the Lynx-distributor from the Lynx-shunt 
 +  * The DIP switch on the Lynx-distributor are for specific manual settings, to do with our 24V batteries. Please don’t touch. 
 +  * The 6-pin header block on the Lynx Distributor is for reading out the fuses, but this feature is not supported. 
 + 
 +**FAQ** 
 + 
 +Q -  There is a small 4-pin cable shipped with the Distributor - I can only assume that the cable interconnects between the Shunt and Distributor? 
 + 
 +A - Yes, but this has only to power the LEDs on the distributor, there is no other function for this at the moment. 
 + 
 +Q - The Distributor has a DIP switch. What are the settings? 
 + 
 +A - That’s for manual settings, please don’t touch as the system will auto configure (up to 32 battery’s )
