7.3. BMS operating modes
The BMS in the Lynx Smart BMS communicates with the batteries and will safeguard them against low or high cell voltage as
well as low or high temperatures. Such events are reported by the battery to the Lynx Smart BMS to take necessary action by
turning off loads and/or inverter/chargers and chargers and either turning the Lynx Smart BMS off or on again, fully automatically
or manually.
The Lynx Smart BMS has 3 modes of operation:
ON
This is the normal operating mode. All interfaces are operational, and the contactor is closed. If the Lynx Smart BMS was off due
to low cell voltage, it will exit OFF mode and return to ON mode when
• it detects a charge voltage 0.5V higher than the battery voltage on the system side or
• when all cell voltages are higher than 3.2 V or
• when it is turned back on via the Remote on/off switch or
• when it is turned back on via the VictronConnect app.
The mode is also ON for a duration of 2 hours with no charge voltage supplied when a Low Cell Voltage alarm was issued.
OFF
Lowest power mode. All interfaces are off, and the contactor is opened. This mode is used to prevent damaging batteries by
draining them too low.
OFF is the mode the LSB will enter when using the Remote on/off switch or the soft switch in the VictronConnect App.
In addition, the Lynx Smart BMS goes into OFF mode (to prevent further discharge)) with a 2 hour delay if one or more cells fall
below 2.8V (adjustable in battery) and no charging voltage was detected during that time.
Standby
The Lynx Smart BMS can be put into Standby mode via the soft switch in the VictronConnect app or via the GX device and is
used when the boat is docked or the RV is parked to prevent accidental discharging and charging from sources on the system
side. All systems will be shut down, except for equipment powered by the AUX power port from which we recommend for
powering the GX device. This mode is not intended to be used when the boat or RV is in storage for a longer period. Therefore,
when a low cell voltage is detected, the Lynx Smart BMS will automatically switch to OFF mode to prevent further battery
discharge.
The basic requirement for the soft switch to work in VictronConnect or in the GX device is that the contact
between pins 10 and 11 of the multi connector is bridged with either a wire loop or a remote on/off switch.
