Operation Lynx Distributor

When the Lynx Distributor is powered up by the Lynx Smart BMS, all LEDs will light up for one second. Afterward, the address briefly is shown via a fuse LED. Fuse 1 LED illuminates for Distributor A. Fuse 2 LED illuminates for Distributor B. The power LED is orange during power up and will turn green once power up is complete.

Normal operation

During normal operation the power LED is green, and all fuse LEDs are off. This means everything is all right. The bus is powered, and all fuses are okay.

Alarm operation

When a fuse blows (or is missing) the power LED turns red and the fuse LED of the affected fuse turns red.

When the busbar is not powered, the power LED turns yellow. This can occur, for example, when the main fuse in the Lynx Shunt VE.Can has blown. As a result, all downstream Lynx Distributors have unpowered busbars.

LED overview

The operational status of the Lynx Distributor is communicated via LEDs. This is the overview:
