The user can modify the threshold temperature for sending
temperature warning mail. If the temperature rises above the set
value, control sends temperature warning mail.
The user can modify the minimum time
interval of temperature warning mail.  The
default value is 60 minutes.  In this case,
the user cannot send another mail for 60
minutes after sending previous
temperature warning mail even the set
warning temperature is reached again.

• If a command is sent within about 60 seconds after the lamp is turned on, the response may be
returned late or the command may be unable to be executed. Try sending and receiving commands
after 60 seconds has elapsed.
• When sending several commands, be sure to wait for more than 0.5 seconds after receiving a
response from the projector, and then send the next command. When sending commands without
parameters, a colon (:) is not necessary.Attention
• If a command cannot be executed, the projector will send an “ER401” response to the computer.
• If an invalid command is received, the projector will send an “ER402” response to the computer.
• Projector ID supported on the RS-232C interface is ZZ (ALL) and a group of 1 to 64 and 0A to 0Z.
• 
If a command is sent with a projector ID specified, the projector will return answer back only in the following cases:
if it coincides with the projector ID,
ID specification is ALL and VPS-SYSTEM is the master, or
ID specification is group and Group is the master.
• In the hexadecimal format, STX has the character code 02 and ETX the character code 03.

Indication of lamp monitor
This projector is equipped with 3 indicators to show when a lamp needs replacement or there is an abnormal
internal temperature. These lamps flash or light up to indicate a problem.
Turn the power off and follow the steps below.
Temperature monitor (TEMP) Lamp 1 monitor (LAMP 1) Lamp 2 monitor (LAMP 2) (Power indicator)
• To solve any problems that the TEMP and LAMP monitor show, first turn the power off by
following the steps on pages 22, 23.
• 
If the power indicator blinks in red (3 times), the projector has malfunctioned. Please consult your dealer.
