TrolMaster Hydro-X Plus Controller (HCS-3)
Advanced, Fully Customizable Single-Zone Environmental Control for Professional Grow Rooms & Greenhouses
The TrolMaster Hydro-X Plus (HCS-3) is a next-generation, single-zone environmental control system engineered for professional growers who demand total command over their cultivation environment. Equipped with a 7-inch (800×480) LED touchscreen, the HCS-3 delivers intuitive operation, expanded device capacity, and highly customizable programming—making it one of the most flexible and powerful grow room controllers on the market.
The Hydro-X Plus can control unlimited grow lights, 8 temperature devices, 8 humidity devices, 4 CO₂ devices, and 12 programmable timer outputs with support for up to 50 schedules. With its modular design and ability to create multi-stage temperature and humidity strategies, the HCS-3 ensures a stable, optimized environment throughout the entire plant lifecycle.
At the core of the system is the MBS-PRO 4-in-1 sensor, which measures temperature, humidity, CO₂ concentration, and light levels with exceptional accuracy. For growers who want precision lighting management, the optional MBS-PAR sensor enables automatic PPFD adjustments and DLI (Daily Light Integral) tracking, ensuring plants always receive the ideal light dosage for peak performance.
Advanced Lighting & Environmental Automation
The HCS-3 unlocks cutting-edge environmental functions rarely found in professional cultivation systems, including:
- Sunrise/Sunset Simulation
- Spectrum Control (with compatible lighting systems)
- Group Lighting Control
- Cloud Simulation
- DLI (Daily Light Integral) Control
- Overheat Protection
- Lighting Layout Mapping & Multi-Channel Dimming
With two independent lighting channels, users can design complex light strategies, coordinate multi-fixture layouts, and automate dimming sequences based on plant growth stages.
Smart Safety Monitoring & Real-Time Alerts
The Hydro-X Plus supports up to:
- 10 smoke detectors
- 10 water leak detectors
If any issue arises—excess CO₂, temperature spikes, humidity drops, flooding, fire risk—the HCS-3 sends instant push notifications via the TrolMaster smartphone app. This ensures growers can respond quickly to protect their crops and maintain consistent environmental control.
