5. System Design
5.1. Designing a Lynx DC distribution system
A Lynx distribution system consists of a single Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS module.
Then, single, multiple or a combination of Lynx Distributor modules and/or Lynx Power In modules are added.
Together they form a continuous negative and positive busbar with DC connections and, depending on the configuration,
integrated fuses, a battery monitor and/or lithium battery management.
5.1.1. Interconnecting Lynx modules
Each Lynx module can connect to other Lynx modules on the left side (M8 hole) and on the right side (M8 bolt).
If the Lynx module is the first in line, the last in line or is used by itself, it is possible to connect batteries, loads or chargers directly
to these connections. However, we do not generally recommend this beacuse aditional insulation and fusing is needed.
Lynx connections: The arrows indicate where the other Lynx modules can connect
The example below shows a Lynx system consisting out of a Lynx distributor, Lynx Smart BMS and another Lynx Distributor.
Together they form a continuous busbar, with fused battery connections, battery monitor, BMS system, contactor and fused load
connections

Interconnected Lynx modules: Lynx Distributor, Lynx Smart BMS and another Lynx Distributor
5.1.2. Orientation of Lynx modules
If the Lynx System contains a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS, the batteries always have to be connected to the left side
of the Lynx System and the rest of the DC system (loads and chargers) connect to the right side. This, so the battery state of
charge can be correctly calculated.
The busbars in the Lynx modules can heat up during high current events. The generated heat is dispersed via natural convection
through the ventilation recesses in the top of the Lynx module. Ideally mount the Lynx modules in an upright position.
