Frequently Asked Questions - KADS-100 Kramer

How do I connect the KADS-100 to speakers?

Connect the 2-pin terminal block 'To SPEAKERS' on the KADS-100 rear panel to the IN connector of the first KADS-1/KADS-2 using a twisted-pair cable. Then daisy-chain additional speakers by connecting the OUT of one speaker to the IN of the next. Ensure all connections are made with power off.

How do I set up the audio channels?

Press Enter on the front panel to open the menu. Use the rotary knob to select 'Channel Setup', then choose a channel ID (1-8). Press Enter to edit properties like input source (analog, SPDIF, USB, test tone), volume, and stereo/mono mode. Alternatively, use the Web pages under 'Channel Settings'.

Can I control the system remotely?

Yes, you can control the KADS-100 via its embedded Web pages over Ethernet. Open a supported browser and enter the device's IP address (default 192.168.1.39). You can also use RS-232 serial commands (Kramer Protocol 3000) or the included IR remote control.

How do I assign a speaker to a specific audio channel?

Using the Web pages, go to the 'Channel Settings' page. Select a channel, then drag and drop a speaker button (showing its ID and label) onto that channel. You can also assign speakers via the front panel menu under 'Speaker Setup'.

What is the maximum number of speakers I can connect?

The KADS-100 can support up to 99 speakers in a daisy-chain configuration. However, without an external power supply (via a KADS-2), you can power up to 8 KADS-1 speakers. For longer chains, add a KADS-2 every 8 speakers to provide additional power.

How do I update the firmware on a KADS-1 or KADS-2 speaker?

Download the latest firmware from the Kramer website (.kfw or .rbf file). Connect a USB flash-drive (FAT32, max 1GB) with the firmware file to the USB Program port on the rear of the speaker. Power cycle the speaker; it will automatically detect and install the update (takes at least 60 seconds).

How do I set the speaker ID?

Each speaker must have a unique ID (01-99). On the rear panel, use two rotary switches: the left sets the tens digit, the right sets the units. For example, to set ID 28, turn the left switch to 2 and the right switch to 8. ID 00 is reserved and should not be used.

What should I do if no sound comes out?

Check that all devices are powered on and that the speaker IDs are set correctly. Ensure the audio source is properly connected and assigned to the correct channel. Verify volume levels are not muted (front panel or Web pages). Also, check that the speaker's 'LAST' switch is set correctly: push to the right if it is the last speaker in the chain.

How do I reset the KADS-100 to factory defaults?

Turn off the device. Press and hold the Enter and Esc buttons together, then turn on the power. Continue holding until the device resets. You can also use the Web pages under 'Device Settings' by clicking the 'FACTORY RESET' button.

Can I use the microphone input simultaneously with music?

Yes, the KADS-100 has a dedicated microphone input with gain and delay control. You can enable 'Talk Over' (ducking) for each channel via the Web pages under 'Microphone Settings' or the front panel menu under 'Mic Setup'. When the mic is active, it will automatically reduce the music volume for clear speech.

5 Installing in a Rack

This section provides instructions for rack mounting the KADS-100.

Before installing in a rack, be sure that the environment is within the recommended range:

OPERATING TEMPERATURE:	0° to +40°C (32° to 104°F)
STORAGE TEMPERATURE:	-40° to +70°C (-40° to 158°F)
HUMIDITY:	10% to 90%, RHL non-condensing

CAUTION!

When installing on a 19" rack, avoid hazards by taking care that:

1. 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.
2. Once rack mounted, enough air will still flow around the machine.
3. The machine is placed straight in the correct horizontal position.
4. 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.
5. 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.

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.

11 Protocol 3000

The KADS-100 can be operated using serial commands from a PC, remote controller or touch screen using the Kramer Protocol 3000.

This section describes:

• Kramer Protocol 3000 syntax (see Section 11.1)
- Kramer Protocol 3000 commands (see Section 11.2)

11.1 Kramer Protocol 3000 Syntax

11.1.1 Host Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
#	Device_id@	Message	CR

11.1.1.1 Simple Command

Command string with only one command without addressing:

Start	Body	Delimiter
#	Command SP Parameter_1,Parameter_2,...	CR

11.1.1.2 Command String

Formal syntax with commands concatenation and addressing:

Start	Address	Body	Delimiter
#	Device_id@	Command_1 Parameter1_1,Parameter1_2,...|Command_2 Parameter2_1,Parameter2_2,...|Command_3Parameter3_1,Parameter3_2,...|...	CR

11.1.2 Device Message Format

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Device_id@	Message	CR LF

11.1.2.1 Device Long Response

Echoing command:

Start	Address (optional)	Body	Delimiter
~	Device_id@	Command SP [Param1,Param2 ...] result	CR LF

= Carriage return (ASCII 13 = 0x0D ) = Line feed (ASCII 10 = 0x0A ) = Space (ASCII 32 = 0x20 )

11.1.3 Command Terms

Command

A sequence of ASCII letters ('A'-'Z', 'a'-'z' and '-'').

Command and 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.

Note: A string can contain more than one command. Commands are separated by a pipe ( ' |' ) character.

Message starting character

'#' – For host command/query

'\~' – For device response

Device address (Optional, for K-NET)

K-NET Device ID followed by '@'

Query sign

'?' follows some commands to define a query request.

Message closing character

CR- For host messages; carriage return (ASCII 13)

CRLF – For device messages; carriage return (ASCII 13) + line-feed (ASCII 10)

Command chain separator character

When a message string contains more than one command, a pipe ('|') character separates each command.

Spaces between parameters or command terms are ignored.

11.1.4 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 or Ethernet 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.

11.1.5 Command Forms

Some commands have short name syntax in addition to long name syntax to allow faster typing. The response is always in long syntax.

11.1.6 Chaining Commands

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.

11.1.7 Maximum String Length

64 characters
