Gary,
The way to remotely turn the K3 ON is to pull the ACC connector pin 8 to
ground (ACC pin 5 or 12). See Remote Power On in the manual.
There is a command to turn the K3 OFF in the K3 Programmer's Reference,
but when powered off, the serial port is not powered, so it could not
respond to any power on command. Unlike computer motherboards,
everything in the K3 is turned off (except the batery powered real time
clock).

"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."
