NOTICE
Mixing the LYNK Network with other networks may result in equipment malfunction
and damage.
NOTE
Termination resistors are not required when networking with the LYNK Network.
9.8.3 Installation Procedure
1. Before beginning a network installation, mount the devices according to their
instructions.
2. Attach a CAT5 cable to the LYNK port on a battery module.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the LYNK port of the following
battery module.
4. Repeat until all battery modules are connected.
5. Network with other devices and accessories as needed.
9.8.4 Testing and Verification of the LYNK Network
Perform network verification with the 950-0025 LYNK II Communication Gateway.
• If the LYNK Network Bus indication LED is illuminated, power and
communication for the LYNK Network are active.
• Use LYNK ACCESS software through a computer to confirm the number of
battery modules in the LYNK Network.
10. OPERATION
The BMS prevents battery module operation outside of specified operating
conditions. Understand each of these protections and how to set up the system
accordingly.
Refer to Table 3-4, ELEMENT ESS Protection Specifications.
NOTICE
Intentional bypassing of the BMS to operate the battery module outside maximum and
minimum limits void the warranty.
10.1 Low Voltage Cut-Off
Appropriate for the application, program the low voltage cut-off at or above the Low
Voltage Disconnect in Table 3-1, ELEMENT ESS Electrical Specifications. This action
disconnects the load before the BMS enters low voltage protection.
10.2 State of Charge
A voltage-based battery meter designed for lead-acid batteries will not provide an
accurate state-of-charge (SOC) for lithium batteries. The following device, available
from Discover Battery, can be used to communicate an accurate state of charge to
other devices.
