ID number ‘0’ (30H) should be used when assigning all connected Projector units for batch operations.
This means that when assigning independent ID numbers to multiple units, 15 of the 16 assignable
numbers (from ‘1’ through ‘F’) can actually be used for registration.
Please note that tally (response) data is not returned from the projector when the global ID assignment
function (0) is used.

7. PARAMETERS
There are three types of parameters:
1.Indicates the numeric value.
2.Indicates the ON/OFF status.
3.Special parameter.
7.1 Numeric Value Parameter
Signed 2-byte hexadecimal code represented by 4 (byte) characters.
Assignable range is between ‘8000’ and ‘7FFF’.
Ex-1) The parameter indicating ‘20’ (decimal):
Since ‘20’ (decimal) is represented as ‘0014’ in signed 2-byte hexadecimal,
its parameter is:
‘0014’(30H 30H 31H 34H)
Ex-2) The parameter to indicate ‘-2’ (decimal):
Since ‘-2’ (decimal) is represented as ‘FFFE’ in signed 2-byte hexadecimal,
its parameter is:
‘FFFE’(46H 46H 46H 45H)

8. TALLY(RESPONSE)DATA
The Projector will only accept and process data when the ID number included with
the ID-number registered
matches the Projector’s ID, it will return a response to the query from the external control unit. This
response data is called "Tally (Response) Data". (However, when ID = ‘0’, tally (response) data is not
replied.)
The Tally (Response) Data is normally returned within 3 seconds after the data is received.
There are some exceptions, however (e.g. POWER command)
After transmitting data, the external control unit cannot transmit subsequent data until the Tally
(Response) Data is received. However, if Tally (Response) Data is not returned within 3 seconds after
transmitting the data (there are some exceptions such as the POWER command), data transmission can
be retried.

The parameter type is "numeric value".
* Two parameters are also returned when an internal errors other than IIC ACK errors occur.

10. PROJECTOR OPERATION MODES
This section describes the Projector’s four basic operation modes.
10.1 Standby Mode
The Projector enters this mode when it is plugged into an AC outlet and the MAIN POWER
switch is turned ON.
The lamp does not light and the fans do not operate.
10.2 Power ON Mode
This mode is engaged when the POWER ON command is received and processed
normally in the Standby mode. The lamp is lighted and the fans start rotating. Images can
be projected in this mode.
10.3 Cool-Down Mode
This mode is engaged when the POWER OFF command is received and processed
normally in the Power ON mode.
The lamp goes out and the fans are rotated continuously to cool down the lamp.
To avoid the lamp is lighted again in short time, the POWER ON command is not accepted
during this mode.
The DLA-G3010 series, the Cool-Down Mode time is approximate 90 seconds. The lamp
goes out and the fans are rotated continuously during this mode to cool down the lamp.
The DLA-M2000 series, the Cool-Down Mode time is approximate 120 seconds. The lamp
goes out and the fans are rotated continuously during this mode to cool down the lamp.
After the mentioned time lapse, the unit automatically enters the Standby mode.
10.4 Emergency Mode
This mode is engaged when the projector malfunctions or is improperly operated.
The lamp and the fans are shut down and the MAIN POWER switch is turned OFF.
Non-operation status continues until the reset function is activated.

Although the specific signal names are not given to Computer Sources , these can be specified with the
combination of Frequency and Resolution.

◇ When specifying "MIDDLE" as the color temperature
When the POWER ON command is received, the Projector returns the Tally (Response) Data after
completing all the POWER ON processing operations (lighting lamp, rotating fans, transmitting data,
etc.). In most cases, the Tally (Response) Data should be returned within 35 to 40 seconds.
If it takes more time to light up or re-try is done due to internal error , these operations takes maximum
around 100 seconds. (The Tally Data is returned within 100 seconds.)
*2
When the POWER OFF command is received during Power-ON mode, the Projector enters the
cool-down mode (DLA-G3010 series: for about 90 seconds, DLA-M2000L series: for about 120
seconds) and continue cooling (DLA-G20series: for about 120 seconds, DLA-M4000L series: for about
10 minutes).
After cool-down mode is completed, the Projector automatically enters the stand-by mode. (For
operation modes, refer to 10. Projector Operation Modes.)
POWER ON command cannot be accepted in the Cool-Down mode. If POWER ON is requested after
POWER OFF command is sent, firstly the current operation mode should be asked and then if Standby
Mode is confirmed, POWER ON command should be sent. (For the command to request the current
operation mode, refer to 12.41 Operation Mode Query.)
