Frequently asked questions

• What is the TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1?

  It's the reference environmental control system for professional indoor grows. From a single central unit it manages up to 512 lights and controls the critical environmental parameters: temperature, humidity, CO₂ and lighting.

• What sensor comes included with the HCS-1?

  It includes the 3-in-1 MBS-TH sensor, which measures temperature, humidity and light level simultaneously. The CO₂ (MBS-S8) and smoke (MBS-SD) sensors are optional and sold separately, so you can expand the system as your needs grow.

• How does it control the crop's lighting?

  It controls up to 512 lights through two independent lines, with automatic dimming and sunrise/sunset simulation. This way your plants get smooth, natural light transitions in every cycle.

• Can I expand the system if my grow gets bigger?

  Yes, its modular, scalable architecture is designed for exactly that. It's compatible with the whole range of TrolMaster modules: LMA lighting adapters, DST temperature stations, DSC CO₂ modules, TSH humidity sensors and more, which can be added at any time via RJ12 Plug & Play connection.

• Does it work for both small rooms and large facilities?

  Yes, its modular design lets you adapt it to any grow size, from small rooms to large-scale facilities. You start with the basics and add modules as your crop's needs grow.

• What power supply does it need and what certifications does it have?

  It runs on an input voltage of 100-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, so it adapts easily to the European power grid. It also holds ETL and FCC certifications. It can also be integrated with optional MBS-SD smoke detectors for fire protection.
