Discover
You will need the Discover Lynk device to adapt the battery’s AEBus to CAN Bus for use with
the Sol-Ark. The Lynk will need the proper adapter for the Sol-Ark’s pin configuration (Part
number 950-0016-SLRK).
• Communications with this battery will require a custom cable (outdoor-rated units only).
Communications Installation and Setup Instructions
1. Insert the included RJ45 splitters into the AEBus port of each Discover Battery.
2. Connect and link each battery to the next in a chain using RJ45.
3. Connect either end of the chain of the batteries to the AEBus RJ45 port on the Lynk.
4. Connect the 12V power supply to one of the batteries and plug it into the other end of the
chain using an RJ45 cable.
5. Connect the Edge Card’s RJ45 port to the CAN Bus port of the Sol-Ark.
a. For outdoor rated units only, create a custom RJ45 cable that connects pins four
(4) (solid blue) and five (5) (white-blue) through to the same pins on the inverter
and connects pin two (2) (solid orange) on the LYNK side to pin six (6) on the
inverter.
b. For indoor-rated units, you may use an off-the-shelf ethernet cable – no custom
cable is needed.
6. Program the inverter with the appropriate charge/discharge settings for this battery.
7. Enable “BMS Lithium Batt” and set its value to “00.”
8. (Optional) Turn on “BMS_Err_Stop” if you wish for the system to fault on loss of battery
communications.
