PLEASE READ BEFORE USE
The HCS-3 controller comes with our MBS-PRO 4-in-1 sensor. The
MBS-PRO sensor will accurately measure temperature, humidity and
CO2 level within the growing environment. A photocell built into the
MBS-PRO will detect the presence of light.
The MBS-PAR is used to measure the photosynthetically active
radiation (PAR) from all light sources used to grow plants. With the
MBS-PAR sensor installed, the HCS-3 can actively monitor OR
control your light levels using the actual measured light level coming
from the MBS-PAR.
The MBS-SD smoke detector and MBS-WD will detect the presence
of smoke and water leak. Multiple MBS-SD and MBS-WD can be
connected to provide a larger coverage area for the detection of
smoke and/or water.
The HCS-3 features two separate lighting control channels. Each
lighting line (channel) MUST have a single wattage /type of fixture
connected to it. You should never mix fixtures with different
wattages, or different light fixtures on the same light line. Each of the
two light control channels can be controlled individually. TrolMaster
controllers can control 95% of the lighting systems available today.
Using one or more of the available LMA lighting adapters, TrolMaster
can control as many lights as necessary… unlimited numbers.
All of the connections between the HCS-3 and the device modules
and sensors use standard RJ12 cable. A maximum cable length of
1000ft / 300 meters between the HCS-3 Hydro-X Plus Control
System and the devices, or to the sensors is allowed.

OVERVIEW
The Hydro-X Plus controller is an upgraded version of the Hydro-X
controller. It’s a professional-grade single-zone environmental control
system. It has an 800x480 7” LCD touch-screen monitor, multiple
advanced light control functions and expanded device control
capacity.
As all of the main controllers from TrolMaster, the HCS-3 / Hydro-X
Plus works with TrolMaster’s free app and can be connected to your
internet directly using a standard CAT5 network cable. The current
conditions measured by the HCS-3 can be monitored remotely using
the TM+ smartphone app. You can read the historical data by viewing
a graph on your smartphone and receive warning messages /
notifications if the growing environment exceeds your selected
setpoints.with the HCS-2? You can read the historical data by viewing
