6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the KAPower module within the MKSM enclosure is not required provided that
the operating conditions are proper, and that the requirements specified in this manual are
observed.
NOTE:
During scheduled maintenance you can disconnect the 4-pin deutsch connector from
the MKSM faceplate then start the engine using only the vehicle’s or vessel’s own key
switch or start button. Doing so will prevent the MKSM from coming on-line, thereby
allowing the condition of the starting battery to be tested.
1. The LED located on the End-Faceplate of the MKSM indicates the active condition of the
MKSM module. See Figure 5 for location of this light. If the LED is not illuminated when
expected (see Section 4.3, Theory of Operation), ensure that all wiring and connections are in
accordance with the instructions within this manual. Check the integrity of the DPST switch,
and the power supply to the PLC (sourced from the engine ignition switched when ON) wiring
harness you created.
2. This LED is also an indicator for how the MKSM is functioning. The LED is connected in
parallel with the contactor and is also connected to an output on the PLC as shown in the
Figure 6. The PLC monitors the capacitor voltage during, and after, the recharge cycle. If the
capacitor voltage drops below an acceptable level in the first 5 minutes after the recharge, the
LED will flash, indicating a fault. If at any time while the PLC is powered up and the MKSM
Circuit Breaker trips or the capacitor voltage level drops below 6-volts (on a 12-volt unit) or 12-
volts (on a 24-volt unit), the LED will flash in a sequence that indicates the fault, see Table 2.
