Hardware Power Switch
The power switch located in the touch open cover of the main unit is a tactile
pushbutton switch. This switch controls the power on/off of the system. This
switch turns the system on when pushed only when external power is present.
This switch turns the system off when pushed again during power on status.
However, if the system hangs due to any reason such as software resource
conflict a simple push on the switch may fail to turn off the power. In this case,
please utilize the forced power off feature by pressing the switch and holding
for within 10 seconds. In case the turmoil is so vigorous that some hardware
registers may be confused causing trouble for system restart or even this forced
power off, please disconnect the UPS battery if installed and the AC power
supply for few minutes. This may reset all hardware registers.
This switch can also be programmed as an ON only switch. That means, if the
application program issues a command compliant with the KS series technical
manual, this switch will always turn the system on when activated, but will not
power off the system when pushed again (the forced power off feature will not
work in this mode). When using this feature, please make sure that the
software application has the ability to power off the machine. In preloaded
Windows, “Posiflex Power Switch Manager” in “Posiflex Tools” in the
Program Files helps managing these functions.
Software Support Features
The KS series provides a software power off command for application
program maneuvers. The KS also provides a specific means for the software to
detect if the system is working on external or UPS battery power. Due to this
feature, compatible software applications have the ability to change operating
