I am using a non-Neptune dosing pump and would like to set up some redundancy. I would like the apex to cut power to the dosing pump outlet if alk is too high per trident and come back of once it falls below a certain value. I searched online and only found things related to ph levels. I'm sure there the same concept.
 
First identify the name of your Triden’s alk input by going into the System view and clicking the Trident:
F66A95E0-7785-4067-A5A6-7FBC9DDEAE0E.jpeg

Then add this line to your dosing output program:

If Alkx16 > 9.5 Then OFF

Just adjust the name and value for your system.

Keep in mind the Trident reading will remain the same for hours in between tests, so your dosing pump will not turn back on until after the next scheduled test.

So to turn it back on when it falls is just reverse?

If Alkxx <8.5 then on

?

And that will cycle the outlet on and off out side of those ranges?

The existing code on that output should turn it back on once the alk is back within range. Please post your current code.
