-====== Lynx DC distribution system ======
-The lynx system is a modular DC bus bar system used to connect batteries, DC equipment and provide fusing and battery monitoring.
-It consists of the following modules:
-  * Lynx Power In
-  * Lynx Shunt
-  * Lynx Distributor
-Information on these 3 parts can be found below, but also in this [[https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Manual-Lynx-Ion-+-Shunt-and-24V-180Ah-Lithium-batteries-EN.pdf|manual]]

-===== Lynx Power in =====
-{{:drafts:lynx_power_in.png?200|}}
-The lynx power in module is used to connect batteries. It contains a negative and positive DC bus-bar with M8 bolts to connect batteries cables to.
-===== Lynx shunt =====
-{{:drafts:lynx_shunt.png?200|}}
-The Lynx shunt contains a positive bus-bar with space to mount a fuse and a negative bus-bar with a shunt.
-It also contains battery monitor electronics. The Lynx shunt can send via the VE.CAN bus battery motoring information to a CCGX or VGX or to a third party can bus monitoring system, such as a NMEA2000 (check with Johannes). The CCGX, VGX or third party display acts as battery monitor display and is also used to set up the built-in batter monitor.
-The Lynx shunt is available in two models:
-  * VE.CAN
-  * VE.NET (depreciated)
-==== Fuse ====
-CIP140325000 - Fuse CNN 325A/80V for Lynx shunt
-Or alternatively a [[http://www.littelfuse.com/products/fuses/specialty-power-fuses/lift-truck-fuses/cnn.aspx|CNN fuses by Littlefuse]] can be used. The CNN fuse is a 48 Vdc Fast fuse and is available up to 800A.
-==== Shunt ====
-Rated at 1000 A
-==== Setup ====
-Setup is like setting up a BMV and this is done via the CCGX or VGX.
-To find out the meaning of the various settings, please see the [[https://www.victronenergy.com.au/upload/documents/Manual-BMV-700-700H-702-712-EN-NL-FR-DE-ES-SE-PT-IT.pdf|BMV manual]]
-Please don’t use the 2-pin terminal block on the Lynx-shunt.
-FAQ
-Q Is there a way of setting the battery instance?
-A There is a program available to change this but as the default is 0, which is the same as what a CCGX reads we would not advise changing this!!
-===== Lynx Distributor =====
-{{:drafts:lynx_distributor.png?200|}}
-Contains positive and negative bus-bar and provides a connection for for 4 individual DC equipment or load or DC groups. It has a space for a individual DC fuses per DC group and a led for each fuse to indicate if fuse is blown.
-  * Green led = fuse is okay
-  * Red led = blown fuse
-==== Fuses ====
-Uses MEGA fuses. Please note that some MEGA fuses are only rated to 36Volt (suitable for 24V systems), You must use 64V rated fuses for 48V systems.
-==== Installation ====
-Connectors and dip-switches:
-  * The R11 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 LED’s on the distributor, there is no other function for this at the moment.
-Q The Distributer 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 )
-Q The Distributer has a 6-pin header block. What is it for?
-A read out of fuses, not supported yet.
-==== Customer Images ====
-Here are some images from customer's installations that may help you to understand the installation of the Lynx System.
