    We present the design of the trigger system for the KLOE experiment at the Frascati φ-factory DAΦNE. The detector consists of a large-volume drift chamber and a calorimeter both immersed in a 0.52 T solenoidal field. The trigger, structured with a first- and a second-decision level, is based on the multiplicity of energy deposits in the calorimeter and of hits in the drift chamber. The selection criteria are described and the efficiency for detecting φ decays is evaluated using data.
