Position Trident
Place the Trident near the aquarium in a position which meets the following
requirements:
1. Level Surface
2. Must remain upright
3. Close to the aquarium or sump – no more than 3-4′ from the aquarium or
sump. The sample line tubing must not be extended or shortened under any
circumstances
Install the Sample Line
Install the black sample line tubing in the long slot of the sample line
holder. The following requirements need to be met in regards of the sample
line placement:
1. The intake should ideally be 2-3″ from the bottom of the sump. When the
sample line tubing comes in contact with the bottom of your sump it is more
likely to get clogged with micro and macro-fauna.
2. The intake should be positioned in an area without microbubbles. If the
sample line is near or in an area with a high density of micro-bubbles, then
those bubbles may be drawn into the Trident along with test sample water
and will affect the precision and accuracy of the measurements.
3. The intake should be positioned away from dosing additive lines. If additive
enters the test sample, then the precision and accuracy of the measurements
will drastically be affected.
4. Avoid placing the sample line above the Trident. If the sample line becomes
disconnected, then a gravity siphon can occur.
Connect 1LINK to Apex
Connect the 1LINK cable to an available 1LINK port.
For customers outside the United States and Canada or those without an
available 1LINK port, connect the Aaquabus cable and power supply. The
power supply should not be plugged into an Energy Bar outlet. If the power
supply is connected to an Energy Bar outlet, that outlet mustbe programmed
to be always on.
Upon connection the Trident status LED panel will turn blue, indicating that it
is initializing. The initialization will take 2-4 minutes to complete. Upon
completion, the Trident status LED panel will turn orange.
