- 1x PVA 4206 OR PVA 4210 OR PVA 4216 loudspeaker
- 1x manual
- 1x 18V – 2,22A power supply unit
- 1x Stereo audio cable (cinch – jack3.5)
- 4x Anti skid pads
Connecting PVA 4206, PVA 4210, PVA 4216
18V DC power in
Only use the supplied power supply.
First connect the loudspeaker to the audio source with the supplied audio cable.
Then connect the 18V plug from the power supply.
Only then plug the power supply into a mains source.
M an u a l o p e r a t i o n :
Switching on and volume up: turn volume knob right, clockwise.
Switching off and volume down: turn volume knob left, counter clockwise.
The amplifier will not switch on immediately after turning the volume knob, it will wait till the green LED
has flashed once. This is part of the power saving function.
When the amplifier is switched on the green and red LED will flash once. After that the green LED will
stay on.
When the amplifier is switched off, the green LED will flash every 3-4 seconds as stand-by indcation.
This is also the RS232/485 monitor moment.
R S 2 3 2 / R S 4 8 5 o p e r a t i o n :
When the amplifier is switched on (green LED on), it will scan the RS232 and RS485 ports on activity.
When the amplifier detects activity on one of the ports it will switch to this port. The other port will be
ignorded as long as power is on.
Scanning of the ports will be resumed only when the power is switched off and on again.
When the amplifier is RS232 / RS485 operated, the position of the volume knob will be ignored.
When the amplifier is switched off via the RS232 / RS485 ports is will scan these ports every 3-4
seconds on new activities.
RS232 / RS485 Protocol:
The amplifier is operated by readable ascii commands.
These commands can, as example, be send and viewed by a terminal emulation program.
o Baudrate: 9600
o 8 Bits (8n1)
The operation is based on the Basic Control Structure (BCS) Protocol of AMX/Crestron/Extron/Neets.

Supporting BCS commands:
BCS commands are used as much as possible, however for some functions there exist no BCS codes,
for these functions dedicated * commandos are used.
Command Command Response Protocol
Volume control COVA^^^T COVA^^^T BCS
Volume status request SOVAT SOVAT(^^^) BCS
Switch off COVMT COVMT BCS
Switch on COVUT COVUT BCS
Status request SOST SOST B15
Put amplifier in potentiometer
mode
^^^ Volume in dB (value -100 tot 0) 0 is maximum amplification.
At -100 the amplifier will be switched in stand-by.
When no value is set, value 0 will be used (attention this is max. volume)

RS485 SubD 9 pinout:
Attention the RS485 pinout for SubD9 is not standarized. It is important to check documentation of the RS485
interface before connecting.
Recommended is an UT-850 USB-RS485 cable, this has SubD9 pinout connections as in the diagram:
