1.3 General Warnings
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
• A lithium battery must be installed as specified.
• Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
• If the battery case has been damaged, do not touch exposed contents.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
Do not lay tools or other metal parts on the battery or across the terminals.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
ELECTRIC SHOCK
• Do not touch the energized surfaces of any electrical component in the battery
system.
• Before servicing the battery, follow all procedures to fully de-energize the battery
system.
• Follow the “Safe Handling Procedures” below when working with the battery.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
1.4 Safe Handling Procedures
Before using the battery and any power electronics, please read all instructions and
cautionary markings on all components and appropriate sections of their manuals.
• Use personal protective equipment when working with batteries.
• Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
• Promptly dispose of or recycle used batteries following local regulations.
• Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred.
• Do not modify, re-manufacture, or attempt to insert foreign objects into the
battery, immerse or expose the battery to water, other liquids, fire, explosion, or
other hazards. If the user suspects damage to the battery due to water, heat, or
other reason, take it to a service center for inspection.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.
• Do not lift or carry the battery while in operation.
• When lifting a heavy battery, follow the appropriate standards.
• Only lift, move, or mount following local regulations.
• Take care when handling battery terminals and cabling.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified for the
system. Using a battery or charger that does not meet specifications may present
a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazards.

5
• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact
battery terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another one qualified for the system. Using an
unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazards.
• Avoid dropping the device or battery. If the device or battery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service
center for inspection.
1.5 Personal Protective Equipment
When handling or working near a battery:
• Use Personal Protective Equipment, including clothing, glasses, insulated gloves,
and boots.
• Do not wear metal rings, watches, bracelets, or necklaces.
2. DOCUMENTATION
This Application Note provides information about connecting the AEbus port (M12
12-pin circular connector) of an AES LiFePO4 battery to the LYNK Port (M12 5-pin
circular connector) of a LYNK Communication Gateway device.
The following information applies to:
• 14-24-2800
• 12-36-6700
• 12-48-6650
• LYNK II Communication Gateway
• LYNK LITE Communication Gateway
Before installation and configuration, consult the relevant product documentation,
including Manuals, Application Notes, and Installation and Configuration Guides.

3. CONNECTING THE LYNK COMMUNICATION GATEWAY TO THE AES
BATTERY
NOTICE
• Turn OFF all devices before connecting cables.
• Do not connect a CAT5 cable from the AEbus, LYNK, or Ethernet ports of LYNK
Communication Gateway devices to a WAN or MODEM port of a network router.
• Mixing the LYNK network with other networks may result in equipment malfunction
and damage.
NOTICE
Unless Discover Energy Systems specifies, power electronics must not be
connected directly to the LYNK or AEbus network.

3.3 Creating a Cable to Connect the AES Battery and the LYNK Communication
Gateway Device
As shown in Figure 4. Cable Wiring Diagram, create a cable with M12 A-Code
receptacles to wire the pins from the 12-pin M12 A-Code male port on the AES
LiFePO4battery to the 5-pin M12 A-Code male port on the LYNK Communication
Gateway device. Isolate any pins that are not connected in the diagram.
