1.1

GENERAL
Scope of the manual

This manual describes the control interface of the system and is purposed for air traffic
controllers and other personnel who need to control the airfield lighting system.
1.2

Control station hardware

The control station is a 7,5 TFT LCD touchscreen unit

1.3

Control conditions

In order to control the station must be online with the controls system (i.e. the PLC)
1.4

Control modes

Control mode for each control class (direction, runway controls, taxiway common etc) can
be selected from the settings / control settings panel (password protected).
Selections: no confirmation / confirm off / confirm all are available.
When confirmation is required and a control button is selected a confirmation
panel opens where the control can be either confirmed or cancelled.
1.5

Backlight control

From the screen adjustment page backlight off mode which turns the screens backlight
off can be selected. The off-mode is useful when the unit is not used for longer period to
save energy and to increase the lifetime of the unit. Confirmation window opens when
entering the off-mode. Return to normal mode is made by touching anywhere on the
screen.
1.6

Screen adjustments

From the screen adjustment panel the background colour can be selected from light grey to
black in eight grades. Also screen brilliancy adjustment with 16 levels and indicator is
provided.
1.7

Control button activity indication

As systems may not be available for both landing directions the control buttons are
provided with activity indication which tells which controls are available for the selected
direction.
Active : button colour light grey or coloured (not dark grey)
Passive: button colour dark grey
Also control buttons may have been included for future extensions to be activated later

Application page arrangement

The application consists of main page with footer taskbar and several auxiliary pop up
panels to assist control and monitoring tasks. The main page is divided into two sections:
1. Main display area with main controls and mimic diagram

Auxiliary pop up panels appear on top of the screen (replaces the mimic diagram) and
runway direct keyboard replaces the runway inc/dec keyboard when selected

2. Footer taskbar

Aux panel selection

Alarm

On the right side set of auxiliary pop up panel buttons.

Selecting a button opens the panel and selecting an active panel button
closes it. Yellow-bar Indicator confirms which panels are open.
Password is required to open the settings panel

When a new fault occurs the alarm buzzer sounds and the reset button
will be red. The button remains red as long as there any faults in the
system. There are three types of faults:
Control faults: buzzer sounds and the reset-button turns red. Failed
controls can be identified from the control buttons and mimic
diagram.
Panel offline alarms: only alarm buzzer sounds. Failure is indicated
with the online-indication (turns red)
DC-UPS alarm: buzzer sounds and the reset-button turns red.
Status can be checked from the monitoring page (optional).
Select the reset button to silence the alarm buzzer

New selection replaces any prior direction selection

Confirmation may be needed depending on the confirmation setting
Rwy Off turns off all runway lights!
Indication:
Direction

Button colour:
White (off) / green : selected
Grey : Not selected
Individual runway control with step / status indication.
Control:

Up- button increases the control with one step

Down button decreases the control with one step
Confirmation may be needed depending on the confirmation setting
Indication:

Runway
Inc / dec control

Button colour:
Dark grey: Control is passive (no devices configured or dir=off)
Grey : Control is active
Step indicator text and background colour:
Dark grey: Control is passive
Off / white: Control =off and lights 100% available (1)
Off / white / slow blink: Control=off, lights less than 100% available
Off / white / fast blink: Control=off, lights less than 50% available
0,1%..100% / yellow: Control=0,1%..100%, performance 100% (2)
0,1%..100% / yellow / slow blink: Control=0,1%..100%,
performance less than 100%.
0,1%...100% / Yellow / fast blink: Control=0,1%...100%,
performance less than 50%.

(1) Light availability means that the CCRs (constant current regulators, feeding the lights)are powered,
online and in remote control mode i.e. available for controls
(2) Performance means that the system (i.e. CCRs) is working with desired control step, CCRs output
currents are correct, lamp fault and VA-status are OK. Naturally this depends on the monitoring functions
provided by the CCRs.
