    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.

  • Page 31: Minimum And Maximum Ventilation

    Ventilation 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 32: Defining Basic Ventilation

    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 percentage: Define the minimum and maximum ventilation percentages. Trio will automatically adjust the ventilation as the temperature changes. Extra/Tunnel Minimum Ventilation: As option when additional minimum ventilation is required in hot climates, Extra and Tunnel Ventilation can provide minimum ventilation.

  • Page 70: Heating Functions

    • 10.1 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 71: Analogue Heaters

    Heater On Temp: Define the difference from the Heat target temperature at which the heaters turn on. Range: 0.2 - 5⁰ C. o Heat Tuning: This parameter determines how aggressively the TRIO responds to differences between the measured temperature and the target temperature.

  • Page 77: Feed 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 78 Feeding Runtime (min.): Define how long the feed runs last. o 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 > Alarm to set the alarms.

  • Page 79: 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 80: Defining The Air Quality Settings

    12.2 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.
  • Page 81 RH Shutoff Differential: (%): Below this level, humidity treatment ceases. Range: 0% to 10% 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 82: Timers

    13 Timers Timers provide an additional method of controlling relay devices, namely setting a timetable in which the device can operate. In addition to the timetable, Trio enables setting up time cycles and temperature ranges in which a device can operate.
