TO CHECK KSM INTERNAL CIRCUIT:
•
If the wiring and harnesses are in good order continue troubleshooting by
unplugging the Deutsch connector on the end-faceplate of the KSM, giving you
access to the pin terminals on the KSM connector. Refer to pages 10 & 13.
•
With the circuit breaker reset, using a voltmeter check voltage at Pin #1 of the
Deutsch four-pin connector and the KSM negative
- ground power stud terminal. If
voltage is present the circuit is good. The voltage reading is the actual KAPower
module voltage and should be at least 10 volts for the 24-volt models and 4 volts for
the 12-volt models, in order to activate the contactor.
•
Jump pins 1 and 2 on the four-pin connector, the contactor should activate, you will
hear a clunk. If not, you may need to remove the KSM cover and check for faulty
contactor or internal wiring. Before removing the KSM cover it is recommended
you contact KBI for assistance.
•
If the circuit breaker continues to trip check the integrity of the vehicle or vessel
side of the wiring harness for issues such as shorts, corrosion, chafing or bad
connections and components.
•
Check the circuit breaker and contactor relay connections within the KSM module.
In order to service or replace any of these components you will have to remove the
cover of the KSM enclosure. Reference page 5,
INTRODUCTION: Again, contact KBI
for assistance.
•
The PLC Module is a sealed unit. It cannot be serviced. If additional troubleshooting
is required contact KBI.
STORAGE:
The KAPower module should be discharged prior to storage and for
prolonged periods (>1 year) should be stored in a completely discharged
state. The KSM can be discharged by hooking up the power studs to any resistive load (a
light bulb or motor of the appropriate voltage) and activating the unit (jump pins 1 and 2
on the four-pin connector, the contactor should activate) until the desired voltage is
reached (6 volts for 12 volt systems and 20 volts for 24 volt systems). Voltage can be
monitored at the power studs.
The KAPower modules shall be stored within enclosed heated or unheated premises
outfitted with a natural ventilation system in regions having moderate or cold weather
conditions. Climate control systems are not required. The required storage temperature
range is -76º to 185ºF (-60º to 85ºC).
TRANSPORTATION:
The KAPower KSM modules can be shipped in approved corrugated cardboard, wooden,
or plastic containers. For more information on transportation contact KBI.
