I am confused with the diagram shown in the distributor manual. Why there are 2 distributors in the Lynx system? One is not enough? If I remove the left one, does it affect the system?

LYNX SYSTEM CONFUSING
You can read more about it in the manual
Section for system design
I should have mentioned that. Thanks Alexandra.
Finally it's a question of design and system. There is no requirement for the Lynx Distributors at all, but they are making things so much easier and beside of visual fuse control you get that also from a GX device and VRM.
@Alexandra Hi, do you mean "If the Lynx System contains a Lynx Shunt VE.Can or Lynx Smart BMS, the batteries always have to be connected to the left side of the Lynx System and the rest of the DC system (loads and chargers) connect to the right side. This, so the battery state of charge can be correctly calculated."? Can I regard as that if I only use 1 Lynx Shunt or BMS with a distributor, then I can read the SOC?
I have read the manual, but I still didn't find the answer. And if I change the left distributor into power in, does it work?
Hi @Chen Liang,
because the Lynx Smart BMS has a system side and a battery side separated by a contactor inside the BMS. With a Lynx Smart BMS it is not possible to remove one of the two Lynx Distributors.
Thank you Stefanie, but why another system use one Power in, Shunt and distributor, not a set of 2 distributors and a Shunt?
I don't know what other system you are referring to.
Look at the Lynx Smart BMS also as a Shunt with system side and battery side. The battery side has all battery minus wires connected.
If you don't want the Lynx Distributors, you can build your own bus bars. But the concept remains the same. Batteries must connect to the left side of the Lynx Smart BMS, Loads go to the right side. That cannot be changed or the Lynx Smart BMS will not work correctly.
The difference is the internal fusing.
I'm not 100% sure. There could be a potential problem with addressing (dip switches) the Lynx distributor on the right side.
In a system with Lynx Distributor left and right, the addressing starts on the left side, which gets address A and the one on the right side B. That is to make sure the fuse control in the Lynx Smart BMS can be correctly assigned. A Lynx Power In on the left side can break this concept.
We have made enclosed 600A Battery Disconnect Switch to fit the Lynx DC Distribution systems M8, very helpful in Lynx installations.
