HCS-1 Hydro-X

The Hydro-X system is a professional-grade single-zone environmental control system. It is modular and completely customizable to your requirements. Installation is simple and the system is easy to expand upon.

The Hydro-X system can control most grow lights brands, HVAC systems, mini-split air conditioners, commercial dehumidifiers and humidifiers, as well as CO2 generators or regulators. With the free TrolMaster App, the user can access all of the settings and alerts on the system from anywhere at any time.

The HCS-1 is the brain of the Hydro-X system and your purchase of HCS-1 includes:
1 x Temp / Humid / Light 3-in-1 Sensor (Temperature / Humidity / Photocell)
1 x RJ12 Cable Set for Light Connection

Hydro-X Control System is the most intelligent and versatile environmental control system on the market. It could control up to 512 lights, 4 temperature devices, 2 humidity devices, 2 CO2 devices and 9 pre-program devices. With incredible flexibility, anyone could easily customize their own grow room system for maximum yield.

Hydro-X can control almost all kinds of devices in your grow rooms by its 4 types of device stations. Temperature device stations, humidity device stations, CO2 device stations and program device stations are designed to be connected to different devices for centralized control. The HCS-1 will manage the equipment to maintain your ideal environment, but if the measured value of temperature, humidity, CO2 exceeds your custom setting range, a warning message will be sent to your smartphone. Smoke detectors and water leak detectors are also available for smoke and water detection, to alert you if there is a fire or flood. Hydro-X helps you to monitor your grow environments perfectly.

Hydro-X is specially designed to set up daily lighting management for your lighting system. Having 2 separate lines allows the user to create multiple lighting layouts (and dimming sequences) based on their individual preferences. This system can efficiently control your lighting system by running a schedule with advanced functions like auto-dimming, overheat shutdown, sunrise and sunset simulation.

Hydro-X keeps pace with the times, it has the ability to connect to the network directly with a standard network cable. After downloading the app, you can monitor and control the environment of your grow rooms anytime and anywhere. You could read the historical data by the graph on your smartphone and receive warning messages if the growing environment exceeds your setpoints. A micro-SD card is also available for data logging if the Internet is unavailable. With Hydro-X, you can monitor and control the growing environment at your fingertips

Please note:

• Each lighting line MUST have a single wattage/type of fixture connected to it. You cannot mix fixtures with different wattages on the same line. When connected to lights that are controlled by digital signal (such as Nanolux DE ballast), 256 lights can be controlled on each line, with potentially 512 lights controlled in total. A lighting control adapter (signal converter) is available for controlling the traditional lights which are controlled by analog signal (0-10v), such as Gavita etc. Due to the limitation of the analog signal, the system can control up to 40 traditional ballasts on each line, 80 traditional ballasts in total on both lines.

• Various devices (such as Temp / Humid / CO2, etc.) can be connected to this unit through 4 types of different Device Stations. Each device has its own and dedicated device station, which can be purchased separately depending on your needs. Don’t mix up device station for a different device.
• Sensors, Device Stations and Ballasts are connected to the main controller by using RJ12 cables to daisy-chain all the devices together. Each of the sensors and devices stations comes with an RJ12 “T” splitter and RJ12 cables. Various length pre-crimped RJ12 cables and additional T-shape splitters can be purchased separately.
• A maximum distance of 300 meters between the HCS-1 Hydro-X Control System and the devices to be controlled.
• Follow all local electrical compliance for installation requirements.
• The Hydro-X is designed for indoor use only.
