It communicates via VE.Can with a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX, not included), which acts as the central hub for monitoring and control. Through the GX device, all measured parameters, operational status, battery State of Charge (SoC), and alarms from the Lynx Shunt are displayed and can be remotely accessed via the Victron Remote Monitoring (VRM) portal. This allows for real-time oversight and historical data logging of your battery system from anywhere with an internet connection. An alarm relay on the Lynx Shunt can be programmed via the GX device to respond to various parameters such as battery SoC, voltage, temperature (with optional sensor), or a blown fuse. This relay can be used to automate actions like starting or stopping a generator, providing enhanced system control and safety. Typical Applications Application Description Off-Grid Solar Systems Provides essential battery monitoring and main fuse protection for standalone power systems. Marine & RV Installations Ideal for monitoring house batteries and protecting DC loads in boats, caravans, and motorhomes. Industrial & Commercial Backup Ensures reliable power distribution and battery health monitoring for critical backup systems. Large Battery Banks Suitable for managing and protecting high-capacity battery banks in various renewable energy setups. Built-In Protection Functions The Victron Energy Lynx Shunt VE.Can incorporates several protective features to enhance system safety and reliability. These include continuous fuse monitoring, which alerts a connected GX device if the main system fuse blows. The unit also features an IP22 protection class, indicating protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm and against vertically falling water drops when tilted up to 15 degrees. Common Questions What type of fuse does the Lynx Shunt use? The internal fuse holder is designed for a CNN fuse up to 325A (not included). An optional external busbar piece (supplied) allows for higher-rated CNN fuses (35-800A), ANL fuses, or Mega fuses to be used. Is a GX device required for the Lynx Shunt to function? While the Lynx Shunt will pass current and protect with a fuse without a GX device, its advanced battery monitoring, fuse monitoring, alarm relay functionality, and remote access via VRM require connection to a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX). Can I connect a temperature sensor to the Lynx Shunt? Yes, an optional temperature sensor (not included) can be connected to the Lynx Shunt. This allows for battery temperature measurement, which can be used to drive the alarm relay and send data/alarms to the GX device and VRM portal. What other Lynx modules are compatible with the Lynx Shunt? The Lynx Shunt is part of the modular Lynx distribution system and can be used in combination with other Lynx modules such as the Lynx Distributor, Lynx Power In, or Lynx Class-T Power In (modules not included). Installation Notes Installation should be carried out by a qualified professional to ensure safety and correct system operation. Ensure all DC connections are properly torqued to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent loose connections and potential hazards. Observe correct polarity during installation; the Lynx Shunt does not feature reverse polarity protection. Mount the unit in a dry, protected environment within its specified operating temperature and humidity ranges. The IP22 rating offers limited protection against water ingress. When connecting to a GX device, use the supplied RJ45 VE.Can terminators on the first and last device in the VE.Can network. Before You Buy System Voltage: Confirm your battery system operates at 12V, 24V, or 48V DC. Current Requirements: Ensure the 1000A nominal current rating meets or exceeds your system's maximum current draw. Fuse Selection: Plan for the appropriate CNN fuse (up to 325A internally) or consider external fuse options (CNN 35-800A, ANL, Mega) if higher ratings are needed. Fuses are not included. GX Device: For full monitoring and control capabilities, a Victron GX device (e.g., Cerbo GX) is required and sold separately. Cabling: An RJ45 cable for VE.Can connection to a GX device and an optional temperature sensor are not included. Compatibility: Verify compatibility with other existing or planned Victron Lynx distribution system modules. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements with your system before purchase. This product is covered by a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
