Trio accessible. User manual Welcome

Welcome

Welcome to your new Trio.

The Trio shows energy use for electricity and gas smart

meters and will have been congured to work with

the meters you have installed, which may be electricity,

gas or both.

In this document you’ll nd everything you need to quickly

and simply set up and start using your Display. You’ll also

nd out more information about how the Display works,

how it can help you and how you can identify ways to save

energy (and money).

Speech

Your Trio is designed to speak the contents of each

screen. You can interrupt the speech at any time by pressing

the top button (middle LED). This button also functions as a

repeat button if you would like to hear something again.

Speech can be turned on and off by long pressing the

top button. Even if speech is turned off, pressing this button

will speak the current state of the speech setting.

Speech volume and repeat options can be adjusted in the

Talking options screen (Menu > Settings > Talking options)

Connecting the power supply

Connect the power supply to your Trio. Your Display will turn

on automatically when plugged into the mains. You should

always leave your Display connected to the power supply.

You can congure the screen to dim or sleep at certain times

of the day. (Menu > Settings > Display)

The power supply is made exclusively for the Trio Display and

must not be used with other devices.

Built-in rechargeable battery

Your Display is tted with a rechargeable battery. It comes

tted with a battery tab which should be removed (your

installer may already have done this). To remove the tab,

remove the stand and pull it out.

When operating on battery power, the banner bar will

show the battery symbol (o). It’s advisable to power the

Display with the supplied power supply and to not use

batteries for a prolonged period.

Smart meter connection

Each time the Display is connecting to the smart meter it

will give an audible notication, speak and show Connecting

to smart meter… this can take up to ve minutes.

It may take up to one hour after the initial setup for the gas

consumption to show on the screen.

Trio accessible. User manual What does it mean?

What does it mean?

See and hear what you’re using

Your Trio makes your electricity and gas consumption

both visible and audible, taking the guesswork out of

understanding how much your home uses - both right

now and historically.

What is a kilowatt hour?

Electrical and gas energy consumption is measured in

kilowatt hours (kWh) - traditionally known as 'units'.

As items within the home consume energy during the day,

the total kilowatt hours increases.

A kilowatt hours (kW) is the rate at which energy is being

consumed, so using 1.5 kilowatts (kW) for 1 hour would

result in 1.5 kilowatts hours of energy consumed.

It’s about now ...

The home screen 'Now' tab is split into two parts. The left-

hand side shows electricity consumption right now; and

the right-hand side shows gas consumption within the last

30 minutes.

Electricity is updated every few seconds and the gas every

30 minutes (gas meters run on batteries and therefore only

wake up every 30 minutes to send their data).

To make it even easier to understand the rates of

consumption of energy, the Display can show and speak

the rate of consumption as either cost per hour or power in

watts or kilowatts.

For example, if the Display says £0.15 for the rate of

electricity consumption, then this means that if the rate

remained the same it would cost 15p for the next hour.

Trio accessible. User manual What does it mean?

Less is more

The lower the hourly rate of consumption, the less it will

cost and the more you can save.

A typical medium sized house will use approximately

3100 kilowatt hours of electricity per year*, or approximately

5p per hour.

1 Watt of electricity running 24 hours a day costs around

£1.30 a year. Therefore at bedtime, if your Display is showing

approximately 200 Watts, this will cost approximately £260

a year. This is approximately 40% of average electricity bill.

Reducing this by 70W, would save over £90.

The gas ame should be off when your boiler and cooker

have not been used for 30 minutes.

data-and-statistics/typical-domestic-consumption-values

How can I use less?

Look for appliances around the home that are not always

being used and can be switched off.

Often it’s items such as a games console, sound system

or even a clock radio in the spare room. Experiment with

switching appliances off and see what affect that has on

the electricity usage.

Other ways to save include having less water in the

kettle (only boil what you intend to use), lowering the

temperature on the washing machine, or turn down your

thermostat by 1 ºC - this could save £75 per year*.

Trio accessible. User manual What does it mean?

What is normal?

Don’t worry if now and again the usage is high - this can

be normal.

Your electricity usage varies as things are switched on and

off in your house.

Electricity usage can be low (green), medium (amber) or

high (red). Boiling a kettle for example will mean for a short

period of time your house usage will be medium (amber);

in the evening or morning time it might also be medium

(orange)- this is perfectly normal.

If you have electric or storage heating, then it is possible to

see high usage (red) when the heating is being used.

During other periods the usage should be low (green),

especially when you are heading to bed.

Depending on your smart meter, the maximum rate

of consumption the dial can show can be scaled to match

your household. See “Advanced” on page 39.

Home Screen

Overview

The Home screen is broken down into two or three tabs-

from left to right- Now, Today and Prepay. The prepay tab is

only shown if electricity or gas is in prepayment mode.

Press the arrow buttons (u v) to navigate between the

tabs Now, Today or Prepay (when in prepayment mode).

The Prepay tab is only shown when one of the meters is in

Prepay mode.

When your Trio is powered on, it will automatically show

the Home screen once connected(s).

If your meters are in credit mode, the Now tab is shown by

default; if your meters are in prepayment mode, the Prepay

tab will be shown by default.
