KT-315 Controller Maintenance Recommendations

The KT-315 circuit board includes a lithium battery (see the KT-315 Controller Wiring Diagram on page 22). This battery must be
replaced by a Kantech technician to avoid any risk of explosion. If the lithium battery stops working, return the circuit board to
Kantech. Do not crush, puncture, open, disassemble or otherwise mechanically interfere with the battery. Do not try to recharge
the battery. If you need to dispose of the circuit board and/or the lithium battery, wrap the KT-315 in non-conductive tape. Check
with your local authorities for battery disposal regulations.
Do not store the batteries in such a way that they come into contact with each other or with any piece
WARNING:
of metal. Explosion or fire may occur. Should fire occur, use only dry chemical fire extinguishers. Do
not use water to put out the fire. Do not heat the batteries. Do not dispose of the batteries or circuit
board in a fire. Do not disassemble the batteries. Do not apply pressure to or deform the batteries.
Ensure that the above precautions are strictly observed by related departments, including, but not
limited to, production, sales and outside contractors.
Regarding the recommended battery 7 A/12 V: It is the end-user and/or installer responsibility to assure that the disposal of
used batteries is made according to the waste recovery and recycling regulations currently applicable in their area. Use the
recommended battery type ONLY.
It is highly recommended to test the KT-315 Controller by performing the following tests:
1) Bi-annual test for battery:
Remove AC power from the controller and connect the battery to the controller for one hour. This test will ensure that in the
event of a power failure, the battery will be able to support normal operations. This test should be performed twice a year. Once
the test has been performed successfully, reconnect AC power to the controller.
2) Annual test for emergency lithium battery:
Measure voltage of lithium battery when power is totally removed from the controller (AC & DC power). To ensure maximum
operation and prevent loss of power, contact your distributor to return the KT-315 for maintenance if the lithium battery voltage
measures below 2.5 VDC.
