7. Commissioning the Lynx Smart BMS
Commissioning sequence:
Check polarity of all battery cables.
Check cross sectional area of all battery cables.
Check that each battery has the most up to date firmware.
Check that if batteries have been connected in series, that each battery has been fully pre-charged (refer to battery
manual).
Check if all battery cable lugs have been crimped correctly. Check if all battery cable connections are tight (don’t
exceed maximum torque). Tug slightly on each battery cable and see if the connections are tight.
Check all BMS cable connections and make sure the connector screw rings are screwed all the way down.
Check if each paralleled battery is fused or that each paralleled battery series string is fused.
If a GX device is used, check if the VE.Can cables and terminator have been placed and the device is powered
from the AUX voltage output of the Lynx Smart BMS.
Power the Lynx Smart BMS by connecting the battery supply or placing the battery fuses and, if applicable, by
switching the remote on/off switch to “on”.
Check if the load pre-charge is completed and if the contactor closes and the loads are powered.
Connect with VictronConnect and verify that the Lynx Smart BMS has the most up to date firmware and that all
setting have been made, especially if the battery capacity is set correctly.
Check that the system voltage has been set correctly.
Check if the fuse names of the Lynx Distributor (if applicable) are correctly named.
If a GX device is connected, check that it is powered from the Lyns Smart BMS AUX terminals.
Check that the Lynx Smart BMS displays correctly on the GX device. Check that DVCC has been enabled.
Disconnect a random BMS cable and verify that the BMS is turning off all charge sources and all loads. Reconnect
the BMS cable.
Turn on a load and check that the current is a negative current displayed on the GX device or the VictronConnect
app.
Charge batteries fully and check that a 100% state of charge is displayed
