1Introduction
1.1 Disclaimer
Munters reserves the right to make alterations to specifications, quantities, dimensions etc. for production
or other reasons, subsequent to publication. The information contained herein has been prepared by
qualified experts within Munters. While we believe the information is accurate and complete, we make no
warranty or representation for any particular purposes. The information is offered in good faith and with
the understanding that any use of the units or accessories in breach of the directions and warnings in this
document is at the sole discretion and risk of the user.
1.2 Introduction
Congratulations on your excellent choice of purchasing a Trio Swine Controller!
In order to realize the full benefit from this product it is important that it is installed, commissioned and
operated correctly. Before installation or using the controller, this manual should be studied carefully. It is
also recommended that it is kept safely for future reference. The manual is intended as a reference for
installation, commissioning and day-to-day operation of the Munters Controllers.
1.3 Notes
Date of release: Jan 2020
Munters cannot guarantee to inform users about the changes or to distribute new manuals to them.
All rights reserved. No part of this manual may be reproduced in any manner whatsoever without the
expressed written permission of Munters. The contents of this manual are subject to change without notice.

2Precautions
CAUTION
Protection provided by the equipment can be impaired if the equipment is used in a
manner not specified by the manufacturer!
CAUTION
There is a risk of explosion if the lithium battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Replace
the battery using the same type and manufacturer only.
•Grounding
•Filtering
•Checking the Battery Level
•Frequency Inverters
2.1 Grounding
•Always connect temperature and sensor shields to earth ground. Avoid mixing high voltage
wiring with sensor and low voltage wiring.
•Keep the controller as far as possible from heavy contactor boxes and other sources of
electrical interference.
•Do not connect communication wire shields, which go from one house to another at both ends.
Connect them at one end only. Connection at both ends can cause ground loop currents to
flow, which reduce reliability.
•The COM connection for communications is not the shield wire. The COM, RX and TX wires
must connect to each other at all controllers.
2.2 Filtering
If this installation includes a power inverter to drive variable speed fans, install an EMI filter in front of the
inverter, according to the specifications provided by the inverter manufacturer. Refer to the inverter
documentation.
2.3 Checking the Battery Level
Check the battery once a year. The output must be 2.7 volts (minimum). Authorized personnel only must
replace the battery if the output is below the minimum required level or every five years.
2.4 Frequency Inverters
Frequency inverters can cause severe electrical and electromagnetic interference. Therefore, when
employing a frequency inverter, it is critical that you carefully follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
In particular verify:
•That the cable shielding between the inverter and any motor meets industry standards
•Proper grounding of the inverter's chassis and motor power cable

© Munters AB, 2020 9
•Proper grounding of low voltage cable shield wire
•That the controller and inverter cables are kept in separate conduits or wire bundles

4.1.3 DEFINING THE ROOM SETTING
In System > Room Settings, select the growing stage. You can change the stage throughout the growth
cycle. The default is Room.
NOTE The Growing Stage is used when comparing data from rooms, it does not change room settings.
•Define:
oGrowing Stage
Gestation: Pregnancy period (114 days)
Farrowing: From the piglets’ birth until day 21 (when they are weaned).
Nursery: This is the period when they are separated from their mothers.
Finishing: Pigs are moved from the nursery to a finishing barn for 115 – 120
days.
Grower: Same as Finishing
Boar: Male pigs being raised for breeding.
Gilts: Female pigs being raised for breeding.
Sows: Female pigs
Weaners: Same as Nursery
Mating: Breed gilts
Insemination
Stimulation
Quarantine
When you change the room setting from Room to any other setting, the new setting appears on the menu
bar.

oRoom number
NOTE The Room 1 menu bar is blue. The Room 2 menu bar is green. Click the arrows to switch
between rooms.
4.2 Batch Settings
Batch Settings are data points used to define each herd. Define these settings at the beginning of a
growth cycle. Batch settings include:
•Growth day (used in various system algorithms)
•Batch number enables tracking each herd’s production
•Defining the Batch Settings Parameters
•Defining the Batch Settings
4.2.1 DEFINING THE BATCH SETTINGS PARAMETERS
•Manual Set Up
•New Batch Wizard
4.2.1.1 Manual Set Up
