The TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 is a professional environmental control system designed to meet the needs of hydroponics, fertigation, and horticulture. It enables growers to create the ideal conditions for healthy plants by regulating critical variables, including temperature, humidity, CO2 levels, and lighting.
It is modular, so people can expand it to fit their needs, and it’s easy to install. The free TrolMaster app allows growers to check and manipulate their system from anywhere, which is unique to growers and provides peace of mind.
Key Features
The TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 comes with many features that will help make the growing environment ideal.
- Comprehensive Environmental Control: The Hydro-X HCS-1 puts the user in complete control of the grow environment, allowing setup up to 512 lights, 4 temperature devices, 2 humidity devices, 2 CO2 devices, and nine program devices. At that level of control, the system has the ability to create the perfect growing conditions, which will maximize the plant's output.
- Modular and Expandable Design: The Hydro-X system is all about modularity and ease of use. Growers can size the system up as they grow. And as the operation expands, the system may be expanded, with the addition of new sensors or more devices; it should be tailored to the expanding operation. This flexibility ensures long-term scalability.
- Easy-to-Use App Control: The TrolMaster Hydro-X system is equipped with a free app available for the mobile device that allows users to control and monitor the system from anywhere. This app sends out real-time alerts and updates so that you can make adjustments while on the go. On-premises or remote, you can rest assured that the environment is being closely monitored.
- Advanced Lighting Management: Hydro-X HCS-1 CAN control most lights, including LED, HID, etc. It offers advanced lighting options like auto-dimming, customizable light cycles, and sunrise effect. Growers are then able to mimic natural light cycles, which is vital for the well-being of plants and their development.
Climate Control Integration
The device also controls several climate devices, eliminating the need for separate controllers, and allows temperature and humidity control, as well as CO2 dosage. The Hydro-X controls these units, ensuring every condition in the atmosphere is perfect for plants to be as healthy as possible.
Data Logging for Better Monitoring
With the Hydro-X system, data can be recorded to a microSD card (maximum 32GB). This information can be viewed later for trend analysis or more informed environmental decisions. Being able to monitor previous data means farmers can perfect their systems for better performance in the future.
