CHAPTER 1 – Quick Start

User Interfaces

There are several ways to view the User Interface (UI) of your TGM-100. Each method will be detailed within this manual, but some basic concepts are listed here for ease- of-use when getting started.

TV UI (pgs. 16-26)

The primary method for viewing the UI is on a television. This is referred to as the TV UI. You will normally use the included remote control when utilizing this method to con- trol your TGM-100.

To access this UI, simply turn on a connected television, switch to the connected TV input, and control the system using your remote control. The TV UI is used to watch and record music and movies and to perform basic Setup func- tions such as Media Lookup, On-line Update, etc. Most commonly used functions of the TV UI are found on the Home Screen, shown above.

Touch Panel UI (pg. 51)

The Touch Panel UI provides a method to control the TGM-100 from touch panels located throughout the home. The TGM-100 is designed to work with all ELAN wired or wireless touch panels and provides full control over the system.

Admin UI (pgs. 27-35)

The Admin UI allows full access to all setup and playback functions. This UI allows for more complex actions than the TV UI and has more options, but many of the options are not required for day-to-day activities. The Admin UI may be accessed from the main TV using the included remote, or may be accessed from a PC using a mouse and keyboard.

Web Access (pgs. 36-37)

The Web UI provides a method to control the TGM-100 from any computer located on the same network. The Web UI is a great way to perform functions that require a key- board (such as naming Playlists or editing Library contents) and provides a convenient way to access the system from anywhere in the home. Any of the previous three User Interfaces may be accessed from the Web UI.

Instructions on how to access and use each of these UIs is included later in this manual.

TGM-100C, TGM-100 specifications

The Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C are advanced, next-generation gasification systems developed by Sunfire, a pioneer in sustainable energy technologies. These models are designed to convert a broad range of carbon-based feedstocks, such as biomass and waste materials, into high-quality synthesis gas (syngas). Utilizing a unique combination of innovative technologies, they stand out in the realm of clean energy production.

One of the main features of the TGM-100 and TGM-100C is their efficient conversion process. They employ a dual-stage gasification technology that enhances the efficiency of energy extraction from various raw materials. The first stage utilizes pyrolysis, where the feedstock is thermally decomposed in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of bio-oil and char. This is followed by a gasification stage, where the remaining solid residues are converted into syngas using controlled amounts of oxygen and steam. This two-step process ensures high conversion rates and maximizes energy output.

In terms of technology, both models are equipped with advanced control systems that monitor and optimize the gasification parameters in real-time. These systems improve operational flexibility and reliability, allowing the units to adapt to varying feedstock qualities. Additionally, the TGM-100C version is designed with modular capabilities, making it easier to scale projects according to specific energy needs or feedstock availability.

Another characteristic that sets these models apart is their emphasis on environmental sustainability. The systems are designed to minimize emissions, contributing to a cleaner energy landscape. The syngas produced can be utilized in various applications, including power generation, chemical production, and as a substitute for natural gas in industrial processes.

The TGM-100 and TGM-100C are also notable for their robustness and durability. Built to withstand high operational demands, they feature high-grade materials and components that ensure long-lasting performance even under challenging conditions. These characteristics make them suitable for a range of applications, from industrial settings to remote off-grid locations.

In summary, the Sunfire TGM-100 and TGM-100C represent cutting-edge advancements in gasification technology. With their efficient energy conversion processes, modular capabilities, real-time optimization, and commitment to sustainability, they are a compelling choice for those seeking reliable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
