Lynx Distributor

The Lynx Distributor is a modular DC busbar with locations for four DC fuses. It monitors the status of each fuse and indicates its condition via LEDs on the front panel. The Lynx Distributor is part of the modular Lynx Distribution System.

DC Distribution and Connections

The Lynx Distributor contains both a positive and negative busbar and provides connections for four individual DC circuits, loads, or DC groups. Each DC group has space for its own individual DC fuse.

Fuse Monitoring and LED Indication

An optional feature of the Lynx Distributor is an LED indicator for each fuse, which shows whether a fuse is intact or blown.

To use the fuse indication LEDs, the Lynx Distributor must be connected to a Lynx Shunt. The Lynx Shunt provides the required wide-input power supply (8–70 VDC) and outputs the necessary 5 V (4.5–5.5 V) power for the Lynx Distributor’s circuit board.

Connection to Lynx Shunt

RJ11 fly leads are used to connect the Lynx Distributor to the Lynx Shunt. The required RJ11 cable is supplied with the Distributor. The Lynx Shunt features two RJ11 ports, and either port may be used for the connection.

LED Status Indications

• Normal operation: Only the central LED is green

• Blown or missing fuse: The central LED and the affected fuse LED turn red

If not all DC distribution connection points are in use, dummy fuses may be required to prevent red LED warnings from appearing.
