Here is the answer that I sent him:
My entire K line is managed by a computer. I use a USB board with a
pair of relays (only need one) and some specific software (shortcut on
the desktop) to tickle the ACC line to turn the K3 on when I am remote
operating.

is one example.
The software is at:

And naturally since I put this together, I've not had a power failure.

On one of the lists I'm on, one of the

no answer for him.

"Dear friends,
I am using K3 for remote operation.
Recently we experience the increase
of power failures here in Ukraine.
Despite of having 7AH battery as a PS
buffer, sometimes when the
electricity is off for a long time, K3 is
switched OFF.
This requires the trip to the remote site.
Is there an easy way to remotely switch K3
on and OFF through the serial
port? Does a software exists that is
dealing with this.
I was trying to find the K3 menu item that
will enable switching K3 back
ON when electricity is restored (like in
all computer motherboards) but
could not.
Would appreciate the assistance."

If this can be done, is there a link or
info I can get to him to help him out?
Thanks,
Gary
