Fuse monitoring with Lynx distributor and Lynx Shunt

Hi all,

According to what I've read in the manual for the Lynx Distributor, it is not possible to get blown fuse information across VE.CAN unless there is a BMS in the system; i.e. a Distributor + a Lynx Shunt will not produce the required messaging to the GX interface panel. Is this really correct? What a huge missed opportunity if so.


Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,


Yes that is indeed correct, unfortunately. Our next generation Lynx Shunt will have that functionality.


Available somewhere second half of year I’d exp 2022.

Are there any news about when the new Shunt might become available?

We were quite disappointed when we learned that the Shunt (which we only bought recently) doesn't actually allow this already - Especially since one setup tool or app (I forgot which one, sorry) even shows 4 slots for distributors, but they never populate (for obvious reasons).

It's a pity we will need to replace the Shunt if we want this functionality.

Any updates on this? I just bought the lynx shunt with the hopes it would do exactly what the two previous messages have stated. Do I return the lynx shunt I just bought and wait for the new one?
