Taylor-Wharton KRYOS Controller - Manual (Page 25)

KRYOS
is designed for full operational service during a power failure, including full solenoid
valve operation. The battery back-up system can be ordered from Taylor-Wharton
and should be factory installed.
Differences Between the Regular KRYOS and the Battery
Backed KRYOS
Please see the chart below for the differences between the two systems.
Table 2: Differences KRYOS & KRYOS with Battery Back-up Option
Regular KRYOS Battery Backed KRYOS
Solenoid Valve 24 VAC solenoid 12 VDC solenoid
Wall Transformer 24 VAC 16.5 VAC
Battery None 17amp-hour
Battery Extension
Cable
None Connects battery to control board
Software LABS 20K-80K – V9.22 K-Series and LABS 94K – V4.22B
LABS 20K-80K
Control Board (1) Black 2-pin solenoid valve
plug Red 2-pin solenoid valve plug &
Red 3-pin battery plug
(1) The control board for the battery back-up is quite different than the control board for the regular
KRYOS in that a number of parts are either removed or changed. The best check is a look for the
3 pin battery plug or press menu 6.4 and see if the software version has “B” behind it for battery
back-up.
Operation
The software is designed such that if power is lost and a battery-backed control is
in place, the control detects the loss of power and continues to operate from the
battery. If power is lost, a “Battery Back-up” message appears on the display, the
alarm beeper sounds and the red LED starts to flash. After a short period of time
(approximately 10 seconds) the display will go dark to conserve power, however the
red LED will continue to flash and the beeper will continue to sound until it is muted.
The display can be brought back at any time by pressing any button on the front
panel.
The control will continue to monitor the system, record logs and operate the valve
until the battery runs too low. Original specifications required that the battery run,
fully operational, for at least 72 hours. Battery back-up mode is treated by the
control as an alarm condition. This means that the remote alarm will be triggered
after a period of time as defined by the user.
The DC solenoid valve requires that the battery be connected for the system to work
properly. If the battery is disconnected or completely discharged the valve operation
and the control operation may be affected. In particular, if the control is calling
for a fill, the solenoid will be called to open. Opening the solenoid valve takes a
substantial amount of current. The valve will cycle on and off. If the batter-backed
control keeps turning itself on and then off, try recharging the battery by following
the steps below.
Battery Charging: The KRYOS control has a circuit that trickle charges the battery.
This provides a fully charged battery for the times when it is needed yet keeps it from
being damaged by overcharging. If the battery should become discharged, the
following steps should be followed to charge it.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend
that the remote alarm is
connected to a building
alarm system or a
dialer. This insures that
someone is notified if an
error condition persists.
