Why isn’t my Trident turning off?

[Adamantium]

Hey all, I have a house guest in the same room as my Trident, so I’m trying to shut off the 12 AM and 6 AM tests. What’s frustrating is the 12 AM test was successfully shut off, but the 6 AM keeps happening. I cannot for the life of me figure out why.

I created a virtual outlet called TridentOFF, and when it’s on the Trident is supposed to be off. The outlet is coded as:

Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 01:00 Then ON
If Time 04:00 to 08:00 Then ON

And the Trident itself is programmed as:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
OSC 000:00/001:00/719:00 Then ON
If Output TridentOFF = ON Then OFF

Any thoughts on what I’m doing wrong? I tried just setting it from 22:00 to 08:00 but that didn’t work either. The 12 AM test does not fire, but the 6 AM still does. What am I missing? Thanks!

I just realized… is it the ordering in the Trident code? Does the order matter? Would it help to change it to:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Output TridentOFF = ON Then OFF
OSC 000:00/001:00/719:00 Then ON

There are two Trident configurations - one for alkalinity and the other for combined. You can customize the schedule/timing with the following URLs.

apexfusion.com/apex/<your apex ID>/config/outputs/<module#>_4
apexfusion.com/apex/<your apex ID>/config/outputs/<module#>_3

See this R2R link for more details.

Have you ever wish to have more control on when Trident do its tests? It's not obvious from Fusion UI, but it's actually possible. Trident is simply controlled as couple outputs like other Apex output. It's only a matter of finding those output, then you can program it however you like the same...

I have mine set as follows:

Alkalinity
Set OFF
If Time 22:00 to 22:01 Then ON

Combined
Set OFF
If Time 10:00 to 10:01 Then ON

You only want one minute of on time for your timer. Also, you can change it to manual testing instead of automatic if it won't turn off. Not sure if virtual outlets work, but the Trident itself can be programmed as @blaxsun posted above.

Thank you so so very much! Hugely helpful.

Can I ask why I would only want one minute of on time?

Just learning about the programming aspects of Trident testing. Loving the idea of saving some reagent.

That is the lowest time you can program a timer. The Trident just needs a start command. If your timer exceeds the duration of the testing, it may restart the test after the first one is completed.

Thanks! I wasn’t finding that to be the case (the test restarting), but noted. Appreciate it!
