CCOUNT In order to manage and control your farm, including all TRIO units in these farms, set up an account on the trioair.net website. Once an account is setup, you can manage the farms and users from this site or from the TrioAir app.
Page 33
Pairing a TRIO unit to an account enables connecting to the unit via the web/app and managing it remotely. Each TRIO unit has a unique ID code (a QR code). This code is used to register the device and pair it to an account. This procedure explains how to pair the device to an account.
Page 34
3. Using the TrioAir App (Scan New Device) or a QR reader, scan the QR code. The TRIO AIR sign in page appears. 4. Following the on line instructions, sign in or create a new account. After signing in, the TRIO Air app or web site opens.
Page 35
6. Click on an existing account (if there are) or click Add New Farm (follow the online instructions for creating a new farm). NOTE The person who creates a new farm is automatically defined as the owner. Munters recommends that the person responsible for the farm create the account, and then invite and assign roles to other people.

• 7.1 Mapping Devices After wiring devices to the TRIO, each device must be mapped and then defined. Mapping and defining devices enables the system software to control each device’s functionality. CAUTION Mapping MUST match the physical wiring! An error message appears if the physical device is not wired to the relay or port as defined on the mapping screen..

4. Click on the relays and/or ports that you wired to heaters. TRIO automatically numbers the devices. • TRIO enables selecting up to the maximum number of each device. • Devices having opening and closing relays require mapping both relays.
APPING THE EMPERATURE ENSORS Calculating the temperature data, TRIO takes the following into consideration: Tunnel temperature: Select a sensor or a group of sensors to determine the tunnel temperature • readings or select if the tunnel run according to the average temperature reading.

8.3 Defining the Expected Animal Weight Animal weights are used when calculating the amount of air required when using Ventilation by Weight (page 89). In this screen, define the expected weights over the growth cycle. TRIO provides a default chart which can be edited.

TRIO receives inputs from the augers and hoppers that enable controlling the feed distribution (start and stop signals). In addition, the user enable am alarm if the run time exceeds the defined parameters.
Page 81
Feed Line Sensor Max. Delay (min.): Define the maximum amount of time that can pass from a feeding start time before TRIO generates an alarm. 4. If required, go to Control > Feed > Settings to set the alarms. Enable the alarms.
For example, if on day 1 the target temperature is 95° F and on day 5 the target temperature is 86° F, TRIO adjusts the target temperature on days 2 to 4 so that it approaches the day 5 setting.

Page 84
10.3 Emergency Temperature Control In the event that TRIO fails to receive a signal from the temperature sensor for an extended period of time, an alarm is triggered. Between the time that TRIO stops receiving a signal and when an alarm is triggered, ventilation remains at the current level.
Page 85
The following sections detail how to configure the minimum and maximum ventilation levels by growth day. As the temperature rises above the target temperature, TRIO gradually increases ventilation level using a combination of increased fan speeds, cycle times, opening the inlets and more.
Page 86
Day: Set the growth day for the required min/max set points. Each day must have a unique number. Add up to ten lines. o Min/Max Level: Define the minimum and maximum ventilation levels. TRIO will automatically adjust the ventilation as the temperature changes.
Page 89
After calculating how much air is required based on these factors, TRIO determines the required ventilation level to supply the air. Anytime that one of the factors changes, TRIO recalculates the ventilation (to prevent changing the ventilation too frequently any change must be larger than a user-defined amount).
Minimum Ventilation is explained in detail in Chapter 11, Minimum and Maximum Ventilation. Extra Level: If the temperature continues rising when TRIO is providing the maximal ventilation, • Extra Ventilation begins. In this system, fans produce a large burst of air. Ventilation is then lowered.
Page 94
Total Cycle Time (sec), define the minimum ventilation cycle time. Range: 60 – 999 seconds. o Min Cycle Off Time (sec.): When using cycle time, TRIO automatically adjusts the ON time set in the main screen. This parameter defines the minimum cycle off time. Range: 0 –...

ASIC ENTILATION YCLE In this configuration, TRIO raises the minimum ventilation from 10% at Level One to 100% at Level 10. There is no curve between levels; each level is a ramp up from the previous level. In Mapping and Defining the Input Output Devices, page 43 map relays and analog output ports to fans, inlets, and stir fans as required.

Tunnel Mode. o Tunnel Exit Delay (min.): When TRIO calculates that ventilation should exit Tunnel Mode, there is a delay (of this amount of time) before actually exiting. This parameter prevents TRIO from entering and exiting Tunnel Mode too rapidly.
Curtain Levels screen). Maintaining the proper pressure enables air to enter the rooms at the right speed and direction and ensures efficient air exchange. Note that the TRIO will adjust the inlets' opening only if one or more fan is operating.
Page 109
ENTILATION OR XTRA ENTILATION In minimum/extra ventilation the target pressure is adjusted as a function of the outside temperature. TRIO calculates the pressure target according to a curve between low and high temperature target pressure set- points. The curve is adjusted according to the outside temperature, in order to maintain the pressure. If the outside temperature is warm, large amounts of slow moving air is allowed to enter the house (low static pressure).
Page 110
If the static pressure is above the target level, inlets continue to open until they reach the maximum position. In the situation where static pressure is above the target and all inlets are open, TRIO enters a High Static Pressure Alarm state. In this situation: TRIO triggers a High Pressure Compensation event that is recorded.
Invalid humidity sensor readings are not taken into consideration. • To avoid causing the animals undo heat stress during periods of high relative humidity, TRIO employs the following rules: When the temperature reaches the Target Temperature plus the Temperature Difference, •...
15 Heating Functions TRIO supports up to four (4) on/off heating devices and variable heaters. To control the heat, TRIO has two different programs, one to maintain the target temperature in the entire house and one program that controls separate heating zones. In the case of the latter, each heater has a dedicated sensor and unique target temperature.
16 Air Quality Ensuring air quality means configuring the TRIO relative humidity, CO2, and ammonia sensors. Each of these factors are independent, and require a sensor. When any of these factors rise above the user defined levels, TRIO compensates by increasing the ventilation rate or by increasing the heat.

RH Shutoff Differential: (%): Below this level, humidity treatment ceases. Range: 0% to o High RH Alarm Threshold (%): TRIO sends an alarm when the humidity level rises above this level. Range: 0% to 100% o Co2 Shutoff Differential: (ppm): When CO2 levels are below the target level by this amount, all CO2 treatment stops.
Page 123
Timers provide an additional method of controlling relay devices, namely setting a time table in which the device can operate. In addition to the time table, TRIO enables setting up time cycles and temperature ranges in which a device can operate.
Page 124
This prevents sending alarms for short deviations. Range: 0 – 999 seconds. Alarm Reminder: TRIO will resend an alarm after this amount of time if the alarm is not • acknowledged. Range: 0 – 999 minutes.

(normally open, normally close). If the relay is not in its defined state, TRIO sends an alarm. You can define the auxiliary alarms to operate during specific time periods. Use this alarm for those relays controlling important functions.

• required pressure in the air duct. By adjusting the ventilation, each room independently controls the amount of air entering. As temperature rises, the inlets’ opening increases. TRIO dynamically adjusts the ventilation to • maintain the required pressure. Since Central Exhaust sets the pressure settings for the entire structure, there is only one room in this mode.
