Description

Product Description

The Hydro-X Plus / HCS-3 system is a professional-grade single-zone environmental control system that can control your entire grow space. It has an 800x480 7” LED display monitor and can control an unlimited number of lights, 8 temperature devices, 8 humidity devices, 4 CO2 devices, and 12 programmable timer devices (up to 50 schedules can be created). With incredible flexibility and the expanded product capacity, anyone can now easily customize their own grow room control system for maximum yields. Having multiple control modules also provides the option for the user to create multiple "stages" of temperature and humidity control, which will provide a more stable environment.

Key Features

7" Touchscreen
Fully Customizable Compatible with MBS-PRO 4-in-1 Sensor
Expanded control device capacity
Advance Lighting Control Function (DLI Control, Spectrum Control, Group Control, Cloud Control)
Customized Wallpaper
Free Smart Phone App control

How It Works

The HCS-3 system comes with an MBS-PRO 4-in-1 sensor to measure temperature, humidity, CO2 ppm, and the presence of light. Lighting control has never been easier or more capable. The optional MBS-PAR light sensor can be added to the system. It will automatically adjust light intensity to precisely provide the exact amount of illumination for optimum plant growth. The Hydro-X Plus has been can also track your DLI levels. Having 2 separate lighting control channels allows the user to create multiple lighting layouts (and dimming sequences) based on their individual preferences.

Functionality

Besides controlling your room, if a problem is detected by the HCS-3, a warning message (notification) will be sent to your smartphone. Up to 10 smoke detectors and 10 water leak-detectors can be connected to the HCS-3 which will alert you if there are any fire or water leaks. The HCS-3 also offers multiple advanced functions to control your entire grow room or greenhouse such as Sunrise / Sunset simulation, DLI control, overheat protection, Spectrum & Group lighting control, and more.

FAQs

What is the TrolMaster Hydro-X Plus Controller (HCS-3)?

The TrolMaster Hydro-X Plus Controller (HCS-3) is an advanced environmental control system designed for indoor growing environments. It offers comprehensive management of climate conditions, including temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and lighting. The HCS-3 integrates with various sensors and equipment to maintain optimal growing conditions, enhance crop yields, and improve energy efficiency. Its user-friendly interface allows growers to monitor and adjust settings remotely.

What types of systems can the Hydro-X Plus control?

The Hydro-X Plus can control a wide range of systems essential for indoor growing. This includes HVAC units for temperature regulation, dehumidifiers and humidifiers for moisture control, CO2 generators or tanks for atmospheric enrichment, and various lighting systems. It also manages irrigation systems, fans for air circulation, and can integrate with sensors for real-time environmental monitoring. This versatility makes it suitable for both small-scale and commercial growing operations.

Does the HCS-3 have a light sensor?

Yes, the HCS-3 is compatible with TrolMaster's light sensor accessory. This sensor can be connected to the controller to measure light intensity in your growing area. The light sensor helps optimize your lighting schedule, ensures plants receive adequate light, and can trigger actions based on light levels. This feature is particularly useful for maintaining consistent light exposure and managing energy consumption in your grow room.

How does the Hydro-X Plus improve energy efficiency?

The Hydro-X Plus improves energy efficiency through intelligent control and scheduling. It optimizes the operation of connected equipment based on environmental conditions and predetermined settings. For example, it can adjust lighting intensity and duration, manage HVAC cycles, and control CO2 supplementation only when necessary. The system's precise control prevents overuse of resources, reduces energy waste, and can lead to significant cost savings in the long run.

Can I control the HCS-3 remotely?

Yes, the HCS-3 offers remote control capabilities. It can be connected to your local network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, allowing you to access and manage your growing environment from anywhere using the TrolMaster mobile app or web interface. This feature enables real-time monitoring, instant adjustments, and alerts, giving you full control over your grow room even when you're not physically present.

What's the difference between Hydro-X and Hydro-X Plus?

The Hydro-X Plus (HCS-3) is an upgraded version of the original Hydro-X controller. It offers enhanced features such as expanded sensor compatibility, increased control outputs, and improved user interface. The Hydro-X Plus also provides more advanced scheduling options, data logging capabilities, and better integration with other TrolMaster products. These improvements allow for more precise environmental control and greater flexibility in managing complex growing systems.

Is the HCS-3 suitable for both hobbyists and commercial growers?

The HCS-3 is designed to meet the needs of both hobbyists and commercial growers. Its scalable design allows it to manage small grow tents or large-scale commercial operations. For hobbyists, it offers user-friendly controls and essential features for maintaining optimal growing conditions. Commercial growers benefit from its advanced scheduling, data logging, and integration capabilities, which support efficient management of larger, more complex growing environments.

How does the Hydro-X Plus handle power outages?

The Hydro-X Plus is equipped with a battery backup system that maintains its settings and timers during power outages. When power is restored, the controller automatically resumes its programmed functions, ensuring minimal disruption to your growing environment. Additionally, the system can send alerts about power issues, allowing you to take necessary actions. This feature provides peace of mind and helps protect your crops from potential damage due to unexpected power interruptions.
