Getting Started
We recommend that you:
Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging materials for
possible future shipment.
Review the contents of this user manual.
Achieving the Best Performance
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-performance,
high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal quality due to poor
matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils.
Avoid interference from neighbouring electrical appliances that may adversely influence
signal quality.
Position your Kramer PA-240Z away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.

Connecting the PA-240Z
To connect the PA-240Z as illustrated in the example in Figure 4:
1. Connect the audio sources. For example:
An unbalanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 1 3.5mm mini jack (for
example, an MP3 player).
A balanced stereo audio source to the AUDIO IN 2 5-pin terminal block connector
(for example, the Kramer VP-444 Switcher/Scaler).
2. Connect the LINE OUT balanced stereo audio 5-pin terminal block connecter to a
balanced stereo input (for example, an additional PA-240Z device).

For Hi-Z connection: connect Hi-Z and COM terminal blocks to the + and – terminals
of a mono speaker (for example, the Galil 8-C ceiling speakers, daisy chained).
The speakers either output the left side (L+, L-) of the audio input or the stereo input
reduced to a mono signal (see Selecting Hi-Z Mono Settings on page 17).
For Lo-Z connection: connect the L+ and L- connectors to the left-side speaker and
the R+ and R- connectors to the right-side speaker (for example, the Yarden 6-O
speakers).
4. Set the DIP-switches :
For Hi-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Hi-Z and then set DIP-switch 2 to 70V or
100V.
For Lo-Z operation: Set DIP-switch 1 to Lo-Z.

The framing of the command varies according to the terminal communication software.
.
All the examples provided in this section are based on using the K-Config software.
Protocol 3000
The PA-240Z 240W Power Amplifier can be operated using the Kramer Protocol 3000 serial
commands. The command framing varies according to how you interface with the PA-240Z.
Generally, a basic video input switching command that routes a layer 1 video signal to HDMI
out 1 from HDMI input 2 (ROUTE 1,1,2), is entered as follows:
Terminal communication software, such as Hercules:
K-Touch Builder (Kramer software):
K-Config (Kramer configuration software):
You can enter commands directly using terminal communication software (e.g., Hercules) by
connecting a PC to the serial or Ethernet port, depending on your device. To enter CR press
the Enter key (LF is also sent but is ignored by the command parser).
Commands sent from various non-Kramer controllers (e.g., Crestron) may require special
coding for some characters (such as, /X##). For more information, refer to your controller’s
documentation.
Kramer Electronics Ltd.
PA-240Z - Protocol 3000
30
A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe (|)
character.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored. Commands in the string do not
execute until the closing character is entered. A separate response is sent for every
command in the chain.
For more information about Protocol 3000 commands, see:
Understanding Protocol 3000 on page 30.
Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax on page 31.
Protocol 3000 Commands on page 32.
Understanding Protocol 3000
Protocol 3000 commands are structured according to the following:
Command – A sequence of ASCII letters (A-Z, a-z and -). A command and its parameters
must be separated by at least one space.
Parameters – A sequence of alphanumeric ASCII characters (0-9, A-Z, a-z and some
special characters for specific commands). Parameters are separated by commas.
Message string – Every command entered as part of a message string begins with a
message starting character and ends with a message closing character.
Message starting character:
# – For host command/query
~ – For device response
Device address – K-NET Device ID followed by @ (optional, K-NET only)
Query sign – ? follows some commands to define a query request
Message closing character:
CR – Carriage return for host messages (ASCII 13)
CR LF – Carriage return for device messages (ASCII 13) and line-feed (ASCII 10)
Command chain separator character – Multiple commands can be chained in the same
string. Each command is delimited by a pipe character (|). When chaining commands,
enter the message starting character and the message closing character only at the
beginning and end of the string.

Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax
The Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax uses the following delimiters:
CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D)
LF = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A)
SP = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20)
Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to enable faster
typing. The response is always in long syntax.
The Protocol 3000 syntax is in the following format:
Host Message Format:
Simple Command – Command string with only one command without addressing:
Command String – Formal syntax with command concatenation and addressing:
Device Message Format:
Device Long Response – Echoing command:
