This image shows the TrolMaster MBS-PRO 4-in-1 sensor packaged in its white retail box. The box features the TrolMaster logo and product name, indicating it's an all-in-one sensor for temperature, humidity, CO2, and light, compatible with Hydro-X Pro systems.
4. Installation
4.1 Installation physique
Choose a central location within your growing area that accurately represents the overall environmental conditions. Avoid placing the sensor directly in front of fans, vents, or heating/cooling elements, as this can lead to inaccurate readings. Mount the sensor securely using appropriate hardware (not included) at the recommended height for your specific plants.
4.2 Connecting to Hydro-X Pro/Plus
The MBS-PRO sensor connects to your Hydro-X Pro or Hydro-X Plus controller via an RJ12 cable. Follow these steps:
- Locate an available RJ12 port on your Hydro-X Pro/Plus controller or an SPH-1 splitter.
- Connect one end of the RJ12 cable to the port on the MBS-PRO sensor.
- Connect the other end of the RJ12 cable to the selected port on your Hydro-X Pro/Plus controller or SPH-1 splitter.
- Assurez-vous que les connexions sont fermes et sécurisées.
Figure 3: Connection Diagram for MBS-PRO Sensor
This diagram illustrates how to connect the MBS-PRO sensors to a Hydro-X Pro controller using an SPH-1 splitter. Multiple MBS-PRO sensors are shown connected to the SPH-1, which then connects to the main Hydro-X Pro unit via a single RJ12 cable.
4.3 Configuration initiale
Once connected, the Hydro-X Pro/Plus system should automatically detect the MBS-PRO sensor. Refer to your Hydro-X Pro/Plus controller's manual for specific instructions on how to:
- Verify sensor detection.
- Assign the sensor to specific zones or control functions.
- Set desired environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, CO2, light intensity thresholds).
5. Operating the MBS-PRO Sensor
The MBS-PRO sensor continuously monitors the environment and transmits data to your Hydro-X Pro/Plus controller. All readings and control adjustments are managed through the main controller interface.
5.1 Comprendre les lectures
- Température: Displays the ambient air temperature in your chosen unit (e.g., °F or °C).
- Humidité: Shows the relative humidity percentage in the air.
- CO2: Indicates the carbon dioxide concentration in parts per million (PPM).
- Intensité lumineuse : Measures the light level, often displayed in PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density) or Lux, depending on controller settings.
5.2 Integration with Hydro-X System
The data collected by the MBS-PRO sensor enables the Hydro-X Pro/Plus system to automate various environmental controls, such as activating fans, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, CO2 generators, and lighting systems, based on your programmed settings. Regularly review your controller's dashboard to ensure optimal conditions are maintained.

6. Entretien
6.1 Nettoyage
To ensure accurate readings, keep the sensor clean. Gently wipe the exterior of the sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow moisture to enter the sensor openings.
6.2 Étalonnage
The MBS-PRO sensor is factory-calibrated. Under normal operating conditions, re-calibration is generally not required. If you suspect inaccurate readings, consult the Hydro-X Pro/Plus controller manual for any available calibration procedures or contact customer support.
6.3 Stockage
When not in use, store the sensor in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the controller and store the cable neatly.
7. Dépannage
| Problème | Cause possible | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not detected by controller | Loose RJ12 cable connection; Faulty cable; Controller port issue; Sensor malfunction. | Check and secure RJ12 cable connections. Try a different RJ12 cable. Try a different port on the controller/splitter. Restart the Hydro-X system. |
| Lectures inexactes | Sensor placement issue; Dust/debris on sensor; Environmental interference. | Relocate sensor to a more representative area. Clean the sensor gently. Ensure no strong air currents or heat sources are directly affecting the sensor. |
| No data displayed | Power issue to controller; Cable disconnected; Sensor malfunction. | Verify Hydro-X controller is powered on. Check all cable connections. If issues persist, contact support. |
