Trident Installation: Preface
This guide will illustrate how to physically install the Trident.
The guide below will walk through the different steps illustrated on the Get
Started card included with your Neptune Systems Trident, but the
recommended method is to use the Trident Initial Setup task found in Apex
Fusion. The guide can also be used to supplement the Trident Initial Setup
Task and provide additional information for those looking for further details.
DO NOT CONNECT THE TRIDENT TO YOUR APEX
..
While this may seem counterintuitive, do not connect your Trident to the
Apex until instructed to do so. Connecting the Trident before other
necessary connections are made will cause the Trident to go into an error
mode and will cause the installation of the system to take additional time.
Update Apex AOS
.
On the Apex dashboard click the button with 3 gears, then click the WiFi
button. If there is not a large orange Update AOS button, then your Apex
already has the latest AOS version installed. If you see a large orange
Update AOS button, click that button and then click the Update button
The minimum required AOS version for the Apex is 5.05_5D19.

- Page 13 Trident Controlled Dosing Task. Neptune Systems does not recommend running the Trident Controlled Dosing Task or going through this guide until the Trident has been in operation for at least 7 to 10 days. You, as the aquarist, must generally understand the amount of each additive needed to maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium parameters in the aquarium for this guide to be successful.

- Page 15 Select the Control Limit Enter the control limit for the dosing pump of the controlled parameter. This is the degree in which the Trident will have influence over the dosing volume. When the maximum or minimum dosing amount is reached the Trident will no longer influence and the dosing will return to the “normal...
- Page 16 When the car is going far below the speed limit, the driver will push hard on the gas to achieve that speed. This is what the Trident will do when the parameter is near the minimum allowable range- it will add the highest allowable amount of additive according to the control limit.
- Page 17 It best to keep this around the recommended values listed above. If using too narrow of range, then the Trident will not be able to effectively influence controlled dosing. Control Limit In most situations, this is the variable to change if fine-tuning the desired level.
