  • Page 65: Heating Functions

    • 9.1 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.

  • Page 73: Feed And Silo Management

    Feed lines transport the feed from the hoppers to feeding pans, according to signals sent from the hoppers. 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 77: Batch Weighing System

    11.4 Batch Weighing System The Trio Batch Weighing System enables mixing different feeds stored in two or three silos and distributing the feed mixture to hoppers (Figure 2). Trio supports two types of weighers: External batch weighers, in which defined quantities of feed are added to the mix.

  • Page 79: Electronic Batch Weighing Installation

    Over time, Trio learns how much time is needed between transmitting the stop signal and actually stopping the augers. After filling the batch bin, Trio releases a valve, emptying the feed into the batch hoppers. The mixing process continues until the hopper is filled and a signal is sent.

  • Page 102: 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.

  • Page 103: Defining The Air Quality Settings

    14.2 Defining the Air Quality Settings When the air quality (CO2/NH3/Humidity) exceeds the specifications defined in the Air Quality Screen, Trio can increase the ventilation, the heat or both. (Alternatively, additional treatment can be disabled). When central heating is employed, the changes to heating are global. When zone heaters are employed, changes are specific to each heater.
