1 Introduction
The aim of this document is to provide the guidelines to use the Solari application named
“TFT MANAGER”.
The goal of TFT MANAGER application is to build and manage the time rules necessary to
switch-off and switch-on the lamps of all the TFT devices installed in an I.D.S. (Information
Display System), in order to safeguard the lifetime of each device.

2.1 GROUPS
The user has the possibility to create, delete or modify groups, using the GROUP NAME
combo box.
What is a group ?
A group is a logical subdivision for one or more TFT devices with the same switch on-off time
rules. For example in an airport application we can consider all gate TFT devices belonging to
the group GATES, all the check-in TFT devices belonging to the group CHECK-IN etc.
Splitting the TFT devices in different groups can be helpful because the application is
designed to define a single switch on-off time rule that can be automatically assigned to all
TFT devices belonging to the same group (see chapter 2.3.2).

2.2 DEVICES
Getting data (automatically) from the SYSTEM CONFIGURATOR, the complete list of all
system devices (TFTs, LED devices, FLAP devices, etc) will be displayed (columns:
DEVICE and DESCRIPTION).
st
1 STEP
The user must define all TFT devices, checking the column CHECK IF TFT. In this way all
other devices will not be handled by the application.
2nd STEP
The user can create the relationship between TFT and GROUP, using the GROUP combo
box. The fields:
- SWITCH OFF
- SWITCH ON
- WEEKLY FREQUENCY
- ENA / DIS
cannot be modified with this function and could be empty.

Press SAVE to apply all the updates or EXIT to abort the operation.
P.S. If ENA / DIS flag is 0 the switch on-off time rules are not handled !!!
If in the peripheral system configuration the number of TFT devices is greater than the
number of other devices the button CHECK ALL AS TFT can be helpful.
Pressing on CHECK ALL AS TFT button all devices will be checked as TFT.
The function of DISPLAY ONLY TFT button is to have a complete list of TFT devices only
(remember: tft device means controller with flag CHECK IF TFT enabled).
