The KPA500 is a full-break-in amplifier without doing anything to it. There is no setup, you just use it.
There is no communications between the K3 and KPA500 as to the need for break-in, just set the
K3 or K3S as desired (break-in or not) and the KPA500 will work just fine!

It looks like the key to the situation is connecting the ACC connector from the K3S to the KPA500 and, once this is done, the KPA500 will follow the K3S settings, i.e. if the K3S is set to full-break in, the KPA500 will follow this.
