3 Overview
The PL-50 Power Controller Monitor can control up to five power channels at
a total load of 10A. The PL-50, by measuring and then monitoring the
standby and active modes of the connected units, can detect whether a unit is
in the standby mode, the active mode or is disconnected.
Two versions of the PL-50 are available, a European version and a version for
the USA.
The PL-50 features include:
• PRESET LEVEL buttons, for measuring the STANDBY mode and the
ACTIVE mode for reference
• A green ACTIVE LED and an orange STANDBY LED per channel,
indicating the status of the outlet
• The ability to detect a change in the state of any of the channels and then
trigger an alarm via the RELAY and Digital control terminal blocks that
can be connected to an alarm or any other room activity
• Control via embedded Web pages, letting you schedule the activity of the
outlet, set a response in case of an event, set the status of each channel
separately, set the power ON/OFF order and delay, and so on
• An Ethernet port and a USB port for unit configuration and control
Control the PL-50 using the front panel buttons, or remotely via:
• USB, RS-485 or RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller
• ETHERNET
• The Kramer Infrared Remote Control Transmitter
To achieve the best performance:
• Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
• Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality and position your PL-50 away from
moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

Installing in a Rack

5 Installing in a Rack
This section describes what to do before installing in a rack and how to rack
mount.
Before Installing in a Rack How to Rack Mount
Before installing in a rack, be sure that the
environment is within the recommended range:
To rack-mount a machine:
1. Attach both ear brackets to the
machine. To do so, remove the
screws from each side of the
machine (3 on each side), and
replace those screws through the
ear brackets.
When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by
taking care that:
. It is located within the recommended
environmental conditions, as the operating
ambient temperature of a closed or multi unit
rack assembly may exceed the room ambient
temperature.
. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow
around the machine.
. The machine is placed straight in the correct
horizontal position.
. You do not overload the circuit(s). When
connecting the machine to the supply circuit,
overloading the circuits might have a detrimental
effect on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Refer to the appropriate nameplate
ratings for information. For example, for fuse
replacement, see the value printed on the
product label.
. The machine is earthed (grounded) in a
reliable way and is connected only to an
electricity socket with grounding. Pay particular
attention to situations where electricity is
supplied indirectly (when the power cord is not
plugged directly into the socket in the wall), for
example, when using an extension cable or a
power strip, and that you use only the power
cord that is supplied with the machine.

2. Place the ears of the machine
against the rack rails, and insert the
proper screws (not provided)
through each of the four holes in
the rack ears.
Note:
In some models, the front panel
may feature built-in rack ears
Detachable rack ears can be
removed for desktop use
Always mount the machine in the
rack before you attach any cables
or connect the machine to the
power
If you are using a Kramer rack
adapter kit (for a machine that is
not 19"), see the Rack Adapters
user manual for installation

10.2 Command Terms
Command:
Sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-').
Command will separate from parameters with at least single space.
Parameters:
Sequence of Alfa-Numeric ASCII chars ('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.
Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( '|' ) character.
Message starting char:
'#' for host command/query.
'~' for machine response.
Device address (Optional when directly connected to the device)
K-NET Device ID or MACHINE NUMBER followed by '@'
(ex. #02@
CRLF )
Query sign
'?' follows some commands to define a query request.
All outputs sign
'*' defines all outputs.
Message closing character
CR – For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)
CRLF – For machine messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)
Commands chain separator char:
When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ( '|' ) character separates each command.
Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.
Entering Commands:
You can directly enter all commands using a terminal with ASCII communications software, such as HyperTerminal,
Hercules, etc. Connect the terminal to the serial, Ethernet, or USB port on the Kramer device. To enter
CR , press the Enter
key.
(
LF is also sent but is ignored by command parser).
For commands sent from some non-Kramer controllers like Crestron, some characters require special coding (such as, /X##).
Refer to the controller manual.
Command forms:
Some commands have short name syntax beside the full name to allow faster typing, response is always in long syntax.
Command chaining:
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 once, at the beginning of the
string and at the end.
Commands in the string do not execute until the closing character is entered.
A separate response is sent for every command in the chain.
maximum string length:
64 characters.
