1.0. INTRODUCTION
The Type-B Battery Discharge Indicator (BDI) communicates with Discover
Lithium batteries over CAN Bus using the LYNK Port on LITHIUM
PROFESSIONAL or AEBus Port on AES LiFePO
4
Industrial batteries. The
TYPE-B BDI displays warnings, charging status, and state-of-charge (SOC)
using incremental LED SEGMENTS. The BDI device is plug and play, deriving
both power and battery status directly from the LYNK Port or AEBus Port.
The TYPE-B BDI will provide the aggregate SoC for up to 20 Discover Lithium
Batteries. The Type-B BDI is rated IP 30, with an installed frontal rating of IP 65.

2.0 INSTALLATION OPTIONS AND REQUIRED MATERIALS
The Type-B Battery is available as a head unit (950-0034) and used with AES
LiFePO
4
or LITHIUM PROFESSIONAL batteries. The installer must supply
a cable of the appropriate length with a pinout and connector appropriate
for either an AES LiFePO
4
Industrial battery or a LITHIUM PROFESSIONAL
battery. Refer to section 6.0 Battery Pinout Assignments for details on
connectors and pinouts.
A kit (950-0039) that includes both the TYPE-B head unit (950-0034) and an
LYNK NETWORK BDI 1.8M cable (790-0079) is available from Discover for
installation with LITHIUM PROFESSIONAL batteries.
