be powered off for more than few days, please always disconnect the battery from the system. Reconnect it and turn on the system to recharge the battery for 1 ~ 2 hours every 3 months for temperature lower than 30°C. Recharge for 1 ~ 2 hours every month for temperature over 30°C. Temperature above 40°C must be strictly avoided as it could cause termination of battery life and unexpected result even if the battery is not in work. The UPS battery can support basically the data preservation and smooth running of the system during intermittent or few minutes (up to 30 min. depending on loading and battery condition) power failure.
Battery replacement:
In the preloaded OS for a KS system, there is a built in utility Power Manager that will interface the UPS battery monitor status with user. When battery monitor disables the battery charging as designed while the UPS function of the system is originally enabled, in other words the UPS battery is found out of order if actually installed, there will be a popup message as the picture at right asking the user to agree disabling the
UPS function. The system will operate under deactivated UPS function no matter agreed or not. However, the monitoring goes on and the popup
message will come back on next system power up boot if not agreed. In any case, please replace the used up UPS battery at power off if the battery is well connected there but found inoperable by such messages.
Emergency treatment:
The battery is constructed maintenance free and leakproof. It is well protected in KS system as long as the ambient temperature remains below 30°C and the ventilation of the KS system remains free. However, should any accident happen and the sulfuric acid from the battery spills on skin or clothing, wash immediately with water. If the acid comes in contact with eyes, rinse eyes with large amount of clean water and see a doctor immediately. A larger external battery may be connected to give an extended operation. Please check your dealer about this capability when required.
WARNING:
If there are any signs of over charging or leakage of electrolyte please contact your dealer immediately
Power Supply
The operating voltage range of the power adaptor should cover the local power supply for proper operation. The power cable, the power outlet and any power fusing arrangements must conform to local safety regulations.
Please never do any connection / disconnection when system is still powered on. Please always keep the external power adaptor in a free air circulation.
