NABLING A EATHER TATION To say costs on temperature sensors, one outdoor temperature sensor can provide data to the entire TRIO network. NOTE Install and map one outdoor sensor only. 1. In System > Device and Sensors, define one sensor as Outside Temperature.

7.14.1 M APPING THE CALES TRIO can support up to two silo scales. This function requires a scale card. 1. On the Devices & Sensors screen, click Silo. The Scale icon turns brown. 2. Click the Scale icon. 3. Select up to two channels and click Save.
ONFIGURING THE CALE The following procedure details how to “zero out” the TRIO silo scales. Zeroing out is way to ensure that the unit’s A2D number is accurate (shown in the Silo Icon; 430 in the picture below). To summarize the procedure: The user enters the correct amount of feed in the silo while calibrating the silo scale.

(1) at midnight. When editing the growth day, you can increase the number; you cannot decrease the number. TRIO increases the growth day at midnight. Range: 0 - 999 o Birds placed: Set the number of birds that are in the beginning of a flock.
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.
50). Tunnel appears if Tunnel Ventilation is enabled in Ventilation Settings (page 129). o Low/High Temperature Alarm: These parameters are differentials from the target temperature at which TRIO sends an alarm. Range: Low Temp Alarm: -40°- Target High Temp Alarm: Target - 90°C/194⁰ F 4.
9.3 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.
Scheme: Defining the fans/ventilation determines how much air • the fans provide and which fans provide the air. In addition, TRIO controls the inlets and tunnel doors.. There are two ways to control the inlets • and tunnel doors: o Static pressure: Based on the difference in the interior and exterior air pressures, TRIO continually calculates the inlets’/doors’...
(the user can define less than 10 if desired). Each level represents a 10% increase in ventilation, with TRIO precisely adjusting the fan speeds and combinations to ensure that exactly the right amount of air is being provided. .At each level, the user defines what combination of fans provide the required level of ventilation.
UNNEL ENTILATION If enabled, once the temperature reaches the Tunnel Set Point, TRIO turns on the tunnel fans and opens the tunnel doors. As in Basic Ventilation, you define the fans to be used in each level. However, there is no curve between levels.
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.
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.
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).
CAUTION Munters recommends leaving this function at the default. 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 –...
EFINING ASIC ENTILATION In this configuration, TRIO raises the minimum ventilation from 10% at Level One to 100% at Level 10. In Mapping and Defining the Input Output Devices, page 50 map relays and analog output ports to fans, inlets, and stir fans as required. Only mapped devices show up in the following screens.
Using the same fan or a limited number of fans exclusively can lead to mechanical wear and tear, for example to the drive belt. To minimize this damage, TRIO enables “rotating” between fans. The rotation function switches between cycle fans in the same stage.
In the above example, at level 0 Fan 1 rotates with Fan 2. At level 2, Fan 1 and 2 rotate while Fan 3 remains constant. 12.2.3 I NLET AND URTAIN ENTILATION In Basic Ventilation, TRIO enables control over the inlets using one of two methods: Level Control • Static Pressure Control • NOTE Outlet control is by level only.
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 126
Static Pressure in Minimum Ventilation or Extra Ventilation 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.
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.

UNNEL OORS In Tunnel Ventilation, TRIO enables control over the tunnel doors using control by level or control by static pressure. Control of these doors is the same as control over inlets. Refer to these sections for details. Inlet and Curtain Ventilation •...

HILL ACTOR TRIO can take into account the tunnel wind speed. The effect of this speed is the wind chill factor. When taken into account, the ventilation is adjusted to reflect the effective temperature according to a built-in algorithm. The algorithm takes into account the wind velocity, house dimensions, and growth day. If there is a humidity sensor installed, the algorithm also factor the relative humidity into the calculation (starting from 40% RH).
Page 135
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, •...

14 Heating Functions TRIO supports up to six (6) 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.

19 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.
Range: 1% to 100% o 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%...
Page 161
Co2 Shutoff Differential: (ppm): When CO2 levels are below the target level by this amount, all CO2 treatment stops. Range: 0 to 500 ppm High Co2 Alarm threshold (ppm): TRIO sends an alarm when the CO2 level rises above this level. Range: 0 to 5000 ppm o NH3 Shutoff Differential: (ppm): When ammonia levels are below the target level by this amount, all ammonia treatment stop.
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.
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.
