Actually Nat, I don't think it can. It's a bit confusing, but the "trigger" seems to be an output, rather than an input, used to activate a second subwoofer. I could easily be mistaken however. Here's what the manual says about the "trigger."

"LINE OUT (RCA, Trigger and XLR Balanced):
An RCA line-level (female) output and balanced XLR output (male) are provided for connection to a second subwoofer. Use a standard shielded coaxial cable for connection of the RCA Line Out to the second subwoofer. If you are using balanced XLR connectors, then use the balanced Line Out for operation of a second EP500 or EP600.
"

Hopefully Alan, or someone else can explain the trigger's function better.

Should the trigger not be usable in the manner you wish, you could, of course, simply unplug the subwoofer while you're away. Another thing you could do is find a power controller that has switched and/or delayed outlets. These allow you to turn off anything you have plugged into a switched or delayed outlet without unplugging. I don't know what's available in your part of the world, nor what they would cost. I have the Belkin PureAV PF60 which I love, but it is EXPENSIVE. Much less expensive units can be found which will do the job, such as the PureAV PF30 which can be found, here in the states on the internet, for around $110. There are even less expensive units available. Just look for any power strip/conditioner/center that has switched and/or delayed outlets.

Edit: I just talked to Dennis, and he informs me I'm full of doodoo (as usual). He'll be along any minute to correct me. I failed to see that there are TWO trigger thingees, one an output as outlined above, and one an input. So yes, you CAN turn on your subwoffer with a trigger. Apologies for my misinforming everyone.

Here's what I overlooked in the manual:

"3.5mm MINI-Jack: this is for any 3Volt to 30Volt power on trigger. It is also intended for trigger-controlled operation with future Axiom products."
