Creating Backup File Prior Updating to Version R7
Before updating your trio controller from previous version to R5, please make sure to save a backup file to an external USB flash drive, so you can use it to load your setting to the controller once the upgrade to R5 is done.
Backup file saved to one of the internal backup Slots in the Trio, will not be transferred on to R7.
Please note, the USB backup file section will be provided only when the USB flash drive is inserted into the Trio.
Restoring Backup File to Controller Upgraded to Version R7
Use the same backup file on an external USB flash drive to restore previous versions controller settings.
The user should verify the list of loaded tables at the ‘LOG’ Tab.

B: Extended Sensors Testing & Troubleshooting
After mapping a device, Trio provides a testing function that enables checking the device’s performance.
- Relay devices: Click Test > On to ensure that the device turns on.
- Analog output devices: Click Test and move the voltage scale to ensure that the device operates at the proper minimum and maximum voltage levels.
- Analog input devices: Click Test to view the current input results and A2D value. The test function also displays an error message when the input signal is weak or non-existent.
- Digital input devices: Click Test to view the current circuit status (signal close or signal open).

- Diff T: Define the temperature differential. When the temperature rises above the target temperature by this amount at each level, Extra Ventilation begins. Range: 0.0°C >10.0°C.
Each differential must be equal to or higher than the previous level’s differential.
- Fan Status. Refer to Error! Reference source not found., page Error! Bookmark not defined. on how to configure fans.
Extra Ventilation Fan Cycle (Optional)
1. Go to System > Control Strategy > Ventilation .
2. Under Enable Fan Cycle, check Extra.
3. Go to Climate > Ventilation > Extra Ventilation.
4. Define the cycle times.
Tunnel Ventilation Cycle

2. Under Ventilation, enable Tunnel.
3. Go to Climate > Ventilation and click the Tunnel Tab.
4. On each level, define:
- Level: Read-only.
- Diff T: Define the temperature differential. When the temperature rises above the target temperature by this amount at each level, Extra Ventilation begins. Range: 0.0°C >10.0°C.
Each differential must be equal to or higher than the previous level’s differential.

4. Define the cycle times.
D: Separate Zone\Central Heating System
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.
Central Heaters
When using central heat, the heater output is defined by the average measured temperature of all temperature sensors.
As temperature drops, TRIO reduces the amount of ventilation until it provides the minimum defined amount. If the temperature goes below the target temperature, TRIO continues to run at minimum ventilation. At the same time, heating begins when the temperature drops to a user defined temperature.
- Define relays output ports as heaters
To define the central on/off heaters:
1. Go to System > Control Strategy > Climate .
2. Define the Heating Method as Central.
3. Go to Climate > Heating.
4. Define:
- Heater On Temp: Define the difference from the Heat target temperature at which the heaters turn on. Range: 0.2 - 5⁰ C.
- Heat Tuning: This parameter determines how aggressively the TRIO responds to differences between the measured temperature and the target temperature.
Munters recommends leaving this parameter at Normal
Zone Heaters
A zone is an area in the pig house. Each zone heater can be mapped to specific temperature sensor(s) and operates according to that sensor’s data output. The heat set point in the temperature curve is the same for all zones. Once a zone’s heater is activated, it will work to maintain the temperature. All zone heaters work independently.
- Define relays output ports as heaters
To define the zoned on/off heaters:
- Go to System > Control Strategy > Climate
.
2. Define the Heating Method as Zoned.
3. Go to Climate > Heating.
4. Define:
- Heater On Temp: Define the difference from the Heat target temperature at which the heaters turn on. Range: 0.2 - 5⁰ C.
- Heat Tuning: This parameter determines how aggressively the TRIO responds to differences between the measured temperature and the target temperature.
Munters recommends leaving this parameter at Normal.
5. Go to System > Temperature Definition.
6. Map each heater to one or more temperature sensors.
E: Heaters Ignition Time Support
- Define:
- KWh: This field displays the amount of kilowatts used. Read-only
- Operation: Define the relay mode.
- Ignition Time (sec.): Define the delay time between when the heater is turned on and when the gas is ignited.
- Test checks the relay functionality.
F: Temperature Sensor Location
Define up to 12 analog input ports as temperature sensors.
- Define:
- Offset: This is an optional correction for the temperature sensor. Range: -10⁰ C to +10⁰ C
- Location: Designate the area in the room where the sensor is located (front/back/center) or designate the sensor as a Piglet Zone sensor.
G: Heating in Special House Modes
“Batch Settings” Settings page defines basic parameters for rooms when these room are NOT in normal mode. All other modes have the same parameters.
1. Click .
2. Click the required tab and define:
- Set the target temperature above which ventilation output increases. Range: -40 to +90⁰ C; Default: +24⁰
- Minimum/Maximum Ventilation: Set the minimum and maximum ventilation for air exchange, according to the animals’ age.
- Heating: This parameter enables heating and defining a heating temperature in each special room mode.
- Enable the heater.
- Define the temperature at which the heater turns on.
NOTE A heater must be mapped. Refer to the Installation Manual. This heating takes place whether heaters are centeral or zoned.
- Enable Temperature Alarms: Set the temperature below/above which Trio activates an alarm. Range: -40 to +90⁰ C; Default: Low alarm 0, High alarm +40⁰
