Lynx Shunt VE.Can 1000A (M10)

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is an integral component of Victron Energy's Lynx distribution system. It integrates a positive and negative busbar, a precise battery monitor, and a fuse holder for the system's main fuse. It is designed for battery monitoring and DC power distribution in electrical systems.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) serves multiple essential functions:

Battery monitoring: It includes a precise battery monitor to track state of charge (SoC), voltage, and current in the system.DC distribution: It provides positive and negative busbars to connect batteries or DC equipment.Fuse protection: It features a fuse holder for the system’s main fuse, with the flexibility to install it internally or externally.Communication: It enables communication with Victron Energy GX devices via VE.Can for monitoring and configuration.

The main difference lies in the terminal size and the flexibility of fuse management. The M10 model uses M10 terminals and includes an additional busbar piece (a "dummy fuse") that can replace the internal fuse, allowing the main fuse to be placed externally. The M10 model is also compatible with a wider range of fuses (CNN, ANL, or Mega), whereas the M8 is specifically designed for CNN fuses.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) box includes the following items:

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) module itself.Two VE.Can RJ45 terminators.A temperature sensor (ASS000001000) with fittings and terminal block.A dummy busbar piece (referred to as "fuse dummy") to replace the internal fuse if an external fuse is used.A sticker with a quick installation guide.A folder with product labels.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) operates on an input voltage range of 9 to 70 Vdc. It is compatible with 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V systems.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is designed to handle a nominal continuous direct current of 1000 Adc.

No, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is not supplied with a fuse. The main fuse must be purchased separately. The M10 model is compatible with CNN, ANL, or Mega type fuses.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) power consumption is optimized:

60 mA at 12 V33 mA at 24 V20 mA at 48 V

The included temperature sensor is used to measure the battery temperature. This information is crucial for accurate battery monitoring and can be used by the system to optimize charging and discharging, contributing to battery longevity and performance.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) has an IP22 protection rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm and against dripping water when tilted up to 15 degrees. It is not designed for direct exposure to water or high humidity. The maximum supported humidity is 95% (non-condensing).

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) model is compatible with CNN, ANL, or Mega type fuses. It is important to note that the fuse must be purchased separately.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) can communicate with Victron Energy GX devices, such as the Cerbo GX, Color Control GX, or Venus GX, via VE.Can communication. This enables detailed monitoring and configuration of the shunt through the GX device's interface.

Yes, the Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is an integral component of Victron Energy’s Lynx distribution system. This system is a modular busbar solution designed for DC connections, distribution, fusing, battery monitoring, and lithium battery management.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is compatible with other modules in the Lynx distribution system, including:

The Lynx Power In (M8, M10)The Lynx Class-T Power In (M10)The Lynx Distributor (M8, M10)The Lynx Smart BMS 500 and 1000 (M8 – the 1000A model is also available in M10)The Lynx Smart BMS 500 and 1000 NG (M10)These modules can be interconnected to form a complete and customizable DC distribution system.

Yes, the M10 model of the Lynx Shunt VE.Can is specifically designed to offer this flexibility. It comes with an additional busbar part (called "fuse dummy") that can replace the internal fuse, allowing the system’s main fuse to be placed at an external location. This option is particularly useful in large-scale systems requiring higher-rated fuses.

The included temperature sensor connects to the Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) via a dedicated screw terminal. The sensor comes with ferrules and a terminal block to simplify this connection. It is important to ensure the sensor is correctly positioned to accurately measure battery temperature.

To connect a GX device to the Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10), you must use the VE.Can RJ45 ports. The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) comes with two VE.Can RJ45 terminators. Connect a standard VE.Can cable between the shunt and the VE.Can port of the GX device, and use the terminators at the ends of the VE.Can network to ensure reliable communication.

Never work on live busbars. Ensure the busbar is de-energized by disconnecting all positive battery poles before removing the Lynx front cover. Battery work must only be performed by qualified personnel. Always refer to the battery safety manual for specific instructions.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) manual does not specify any particular orientation restrictions for mounting Lynx modules. However, for optimal installation and easy access to connections and ventilation, it is generally recommended to follow the system examples provided by Victron Energy. Lynx modules are designed to be interconnected in-line.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) is a key component of Victron Energy's Lynx distribution system. It integrates a positive and negative busbar, a precise battery monitor, and a fuse holder for the system's main fuse.

Main features: It provides battery monitoring and DC power distribution. The M10 version includes an additional busbar piece that can replace the internal fuse, allowing the main fuse to be positioned externally. This is particularly useful for large-scale systems requiring higher-rated fuses.

Communication: The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) reliably communicates with GX devices via VE.Can and features a power-on LED indicator.

Fuse compatibility: The M10 model can accommodate CNN, ANL, or Mega type fuses. Note that fuses must be purchased separately.

Package contents: The module ships with two VE.Can RJ45 terminators, a temperature sensor (ASS000001000) with ferrules and terminal block, a dummy busbar piece (to replace the internal fuse if relocated), a quick-installation guide sticker, and a product label sheet.
