This chapter might not apply if the Lynx module is connected to other Lynx modules, like can be the case for the Lynx Smart BMS
or the Lynx Shunt VE.Can.
For all DC connections the following applies:
• All cables and wires connected to the Lynx module need to have been fitted with M8 cable lugs.
• Pay attention to the correct placement of the cable lug, washer, spring washer and nut on each bolt when attaching the cable to
the bolt.
• Tighten the nuts with a torque moment of 14Nm.
