Wiring Installation Procedure
1.
Before attaching the large battery cables to the KSM posts, slide included protective
boots onto the cables. The first cable shall be connected to the positive (+) terminal of
the KSM, and then connected to the positive (+) terminal of the battery, or starter.
2.
Slide included protective boot onto the negative (–) cable. This second cable shall be
connected to the negative (–) clamp, or terminal of the battery, engine, or chassis
ground and then connected to the negative (–) terminal of the KSM module.
3.
As based on Figure 5, Figure 6, or Figure 7 create and wire the harnesses to the
Deutsch connector. The KSM Deutsch connector has been provided with a mating
connector that has pigtail wire leads tagged and identified in order to facilitate
installation.
4.
For the PLC input, pin four (4) of the wire interface connector, find a 5-amp power
source from the vehicle, or vessel "key-on" ignition source that is live positive (+) only,
when the ignition switch is on, and is capable of delivering up to 5 amps. This can
often be sourced at the engine. Install a 5-amp fuse in this circuit within 7-inches of
the power source. Use care not to disturb or compromise the engine's own wiring
harness, or connections.
NOTE: The PLC inside the KSM needs power (approximately 2.5 amps) from a
source, such as a key switch, that provides power only when the vehicle or boat is in
operation. Consider this additional 2.5 amps of power and how it may influence the
source. This new circuit should be protected with a 5-amp fuse or circuit breaker per
ABYC standards in marine applications.
5.
Wire the DPST switch, and find and wire the appropriate PLC input (pin 4) as based
and depicted on Figure 5, Figure 6, or Figure 7. Do not connect any wiring to the
J1939 Connector. The J1939 CAN-Bus is used for KBI Factory programming only.
Contact KBI for details.
Apply provided protective grease on KSM positive (+) and negative (–) terminals.
6.
7.
Attach provided protective boots to terminals on KSM module.
8.
To monitor the KSM state of charge, order and install the KBI Voltmeter wire-harness,
and connector accessory kit, KBI part number 302809. See page 36. The meter used
may be digital, or analogue; however, it must be activated only with a momentary ON
switch or button. Permanently wiring a voltmeter to the KSM will accelerate the
depletion of its charge.
9.
Wiring is complete and the unit is now ready to operate.
After the installation and wiring are complete, and whenever the DPST switch is depressed,
the KSM positive (+) and negative (–) terminals will be live. Do not short-circuit the terminals.
