The KT-300 circuit board includes a lithium battery (see the KT-300 Controller Wiring Diagram on page 18). This battery must be replaced

.u

w
.c
p-
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,
w

w
w

ft
n
puncture, open, disassemble or otherwise mechanically interfere with the battery. Do not try to recharge the battery. If you need to dispose

.u

-li
.c
of the circuit board and/or the lithium battery, wrap the KT-300 in non-conductive tape. Check with your local authorities for battery disposal

w
w

ft

p
n

regulations.

n
w

.u
-li
.c

.c
WARNING: Do not store the batteries in such a way that they come into contact with each other or with any piece of metal. Explosion or
w

w
ft

ft
n
fire may occur. Should fire occur, use only dry chemical fire extinguishers. Do not use water to put out the fire. Do not heat

.u

w
-li

-li
.c
the batteries. Do not dispose of the batteries or circuit board in a fire. Do not disassemble the batteries. Do not apply

w
w
p

ft

p
n

n
pressure to or deform the batteries. Ensure that the above precautions are strictly observed by related departments,
.u

.u
-li
.c

.c
including, but not limited to, production, sales and outside contractors.
w
w

w
ft

ft
n
w

.u

w
-li

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

-li
.c

w
w
made according to the waste recovery and recycling regulations currently applicable in their area. Use the recommended battery type
p

ft

p
n

ONLY.
.u

.u
-li
.c

w
w

w
It is highly recommended to test the KT-300 Controller by performing the following tests:
ft

n
w

.u

w
-li

t.c
1) Bi-annual test for battery:

-
w

w
w
p

p
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
n

f
.u

.u
-li
t.c

failure, the battery will be able to support normal operations. This test should be performed twice a year. Once the test has been performed
w
w

w
p
successfully, reconnect AC power to the controller.
cn

n
f
w

.u

w
-li

t.c
2) Annual test for emergency lithium battery:
w

w
w
p

f
Measure voltage of lithium battery when power is totally removed from the controller (AC & DC power). To ensure maximum operation and
.u

-li
t.c

prevent loss of power, contact your distributor to return the KT-300 for maintenance if the lithium battery voltage measures below 2.5 VDC.
