DOCKING STATION DIAGNOSTICS
The KDCF53 120w Power Supply board has built-in power indicator LED’s
that can help you determine if the docking station is functioning properly. To
access the required area of the board, remove the access panel, located on
left side of the dock. The indicators are color coded and indicate if specific
functions are either receiving input power or producing output power.
Example:
If the +12vDC ignition circuit is not connected or the ignition fuse is blown
the Orange LED will not be illuminated. By simply observing the state of the
LED you can quickly determine if the docking station is receiving voltage or
not.
LED INDICATOR COLOR CODES:
INPUT POWER LED COLOR REF
+12vDC (un-switched power, or A+) RED D1
+12vDC (switched, or ignition power) ORANGE D7
OUTPUT POWER
+15.7vDC (laptop charging circuit) GREEN D6
+5vDC (USB, Ethernet power circuit) YELLOW D2
All four LED’s should be illuminated when the docking station is powered
up. If you don’t see all four LED’s there is a situation that is preventing the
docking station from functioning properly. Please use the chart below to
determine the cause and effect of the described situations:
1. Laptop computer won’t charge. Check to see if the GREEN LED is illuminated.
If it’s not, check Output Fuse.
2. Docking station turns on for a brief moment, then shuts down. Check to
see if the ORANGE LED is illuminated. If it’s not, check the Ignition Fuse
and check to be certain 12v is present at this circuit. (This condition may
vary depending on the settings of your shutdown timer. The docking station
will power up and then start the shutdown timer. Docking station will remain
powered up for the pre-set time then shut down if the Ignition Fuse is blown.)
3. Docking station will not power up at all. Check to see if the RED LED is
illuminated. If it’s not, check Main Power Fuse and check to be certain that
12v is present at the circuit. Laptop must be docked.
4. Ethernet will not function. Check to see of the YELLOW LED is illuminated.
If the LED is illuminated and the Ethernet will not work, you may need to
install the Ethernet driver into your computer. Drivers are available on the
Kodiak web site. UPDATE DRIVER TO INTERNET

FUNCTION OVERVIEW
GENERAL:
The docking station will only power up with laptop docked due to firmware
revision 6. The Kodiak Mobile KDCF53 intelligent docking station will
automatically power and charge the notebook computer. It is not necessary to
push any buttons on the control panel for unit activation under normal conditions.
Simply turning the vehicle ignition to accessory or starting the vehicle will activate
the docking station and any external devices that are wired to the output trigger
of the docking station. Turning the key OFF will automatically shutdown the
docking station and any external devices. Under special circumstances it may be
desirable to control the docking station manually. Use the buttons on the front
control panel to manually power and shutdown the docking station.
OUTPUT TRIGGER: (This optional feature is not required for standard function)
The KDCF53 docking station has an output trigger available on the power
cable supplied with the unit. This trigger can be used in conjunction with a
relay to control the power of other devices such as modems and GPS units. The
functionality is as follows: When the docking station is ON the external units
are ON. When the docking station powers OFF the external units power OFF.
AUTO SHUTDOWN TIMER: (This option can be enabled or disabled by the user)
This docking station has an integrated timer circuit that can be enabled. The
shutdown times are user controlled by setting the DIP switch on the side of the
docking station. The timer controls the output trigger as well as the main docking
station power. Once the ignition switch of the vehicle is shut off the docking
station will begin it’s countdown. Five minutes prior to reaching the set time
the Auto Shutdown warning LED on the control panel will begin to flash. The
user has the option to allow the docking station to power down or to reset the
countdown by pressing the Reset button on the control panel.
LOW VOLTAGE MONITORING: (This option can be enabled or disabled by the
user) The KDCF53 docking station has an integrated low volt detection circuit.
This feature monitors the vehicle battery voltage when enabled. If the vehicle
battery voltage drops below 10.5v the docking station will flash the Low Volt
indicator on the control panel and automatically shut down the docking station
along with any external devices that are tied to the output trigger. The docking
station automatically disables this feature if the vehicle ignition switch is in the
ON position or if the vehicle is running.
If a Low Volt condition is detected the docking station will flash the Low Volt
indicator until the condition is corrected. Once corrected press and hold the
Reset button for a few seconds and the unit will power up. If the condition still
exists the docking station will immediately detect the condition and power back
down. If this occurs, start the vehicle and repeat this step.
CONTROL PANEL DESCRIPTION:
Master Power Button: Main docking station power, on and off.
Power LED: Indicates power on and charging
Docked LED: Indicates mate between dock & computer.
Low Volt LED: Indicates vehicle battery is weak.
Auto Shutdown Warning LED: Indicates Auto Shutdown is about to occur.
Reset Button: Resets Auto Shutdown timer and Low Volt condition.
