3. Device Module Connections

All of the device modules used with the HCS-3 will be connected to 

the RJ12 port on the bottom of the unit labelled DEVICES. Connect 

an RJ12 cable to the DEVICES port and then connect the other end 

of the cable to a Y-splitter or to an SPH-1 8-port splitter hub. If using 

the Y-splitters, the other connector on the splitter can be used to 

connect another cable to the next splitter, or directly to the next 

device module. Repeat the procedure to connect all of the device 

modules back to the DEVICES RJ12 port. Once the devices are all 

connected back to the DEVICES port on the HCS-3, you will now 

press the small button on the device modules to link or “address” each 

module to the HCS-3 controller. The Hydro-X Plus controller then 

automatically assigns an address to the device modules sequentially.  

Once the device modules are addressed, the addresses will be saved 

unless the user completes a factory or device reset within the system 

reset menu.

NOTE : 

You can use one or more SPH-1 splitter hubs to replace 

Y-Splitters in your setup for a "cleaner" installation. The SPH-1 

provides a centralized point where all of the cables can come back to. 

Using the SPH-1 8-port splitter eliminates the need to use the 

Y-splitters. 

4. Light Connections

The HCS-3 can control most brands of the LED or HID lights using the 

two built-in lighting control channels on the HCS-3. Each of the two 

channels can operate independently of each other to allow two 

different types or brands of lights to be controlled, or to be able to split 

a grow room's lighting into two separate “zones”. 

In order to control your lights, you must first install one of TrolMaster’s 

Lighting Adapters into the RJ12 ports on the bottom of the controller 

labelled Line 1 and Line 2. TrolMaster offers several types of Lighting 

1. Internet Connections

The HCS-3 controller can be connected to the internet in order to 

provide remote monitoring, notifications, and to be able to change 

settings remotely. To connect the controller to your internet, 

TrolMaster recommends using a hard-wired Cat 5/6 cable plugged 

into the Ethernet port on the bottom of the HCS-3.  

*

There is no built-in wifi on the HCS-3. Contact TrolMaster Tech 

Support for options related to using a wifi connection as most 

commercially available wifi range extenders (with Ethernet ports) are 

NOT compatible with TrolMaster controllers.

2. Sensor connections

All of the sensors used with the HCS-3 will be connected into the 

RJ12 port on the bottom of the unit labelled SENSORS. Connect an 

RJ12 cable to the SENSORS port and then connect the other end of 

the cable to a Y-splitter or to an SPH-1 8-port splitter hub. Plug the 

4-in-1 sensor into the Y-splitter or the SPH-1 hub. If using the 

Y-splitters, the other connector on the splitter can be used to connect 

another cable to the next splitter, or directly to the next sensor. 

Repeat the procedure to connect your MBS-PAR light meter, or to 

connect one or more smoke detector(s) or water leak sensors if 

needed. Once the sensors are all connected back to the SENSOR port 

on the HCS-3, you will now press the small button on the sensors to 

link or “address” each sensor to the HCS-3 controller. The Hydro-X 

Plus controller then automatically assigns an address to the sensors 

sequentially. Once the sensors are addressed, the addresses will be 

saved unless the user completes a factory or sensor reset within the 

system reset menu.
