The Lynx Shunt houses the system's main fuse.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) model has the option to install the supplied piece of busbar instead of the fuse, which gives the flexibility to place the main fuse elsewhere outside the shunt, which can be particularly beneficial in larger systems.

If a fuse is installed in the shunt, it is monitored by the Lynx Shunt VE.Can. If the fuse blows, the power LED lights up red and an alarm message is sent to the GX device.

The built-in relay can be controlled by the blown fuse parameter from a GX device.

The Lynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) battery monitor operates in a similar fashion as the other Victron Energy battery monitors. It contains a shunt and battery monitor electronics.

Readout of the battery monitor data is via a GX device or the VRM portal.

TheLynx Shunt VE.Can (M10) has an alarm relay. This relay can be programmed via the GX device to open or close using the following parameters:

The alarm relay can, for example, be used to start or stop a generator based on the battery's state of charge or voltage. The alarm messages sent to the GX device or the VRM portal are programmable in a similar manner.

The temperature sensor measures the battery temperature and can be used to drive the Lynx Shunt VE.Can alarm relay.

The temperature data or temperature alarms will also be sent to the GX device and from there to the VRM portal. On the VRM portal, the temperature data is logged and can be accessed.
