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.
