Temperature stability is critical in indoor growing environments, as fluctuations in a grow tent or grow room can slow vegetative growth, disrupt nutrient uptake and reduce plant performance during the flowering stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"424\" data-end=\"835\"\u003eThe ARS-1 works by learning the infrared (IR) signals from your mini-split air conditioner’s remote control. Once paired, the Hydro-X controller can automatically send these commands to the indoor AC unit, adjusting temperature settings between day and night modes based on the system’s photocell sensor. This allows growers to maintain consistent climate control without manually adjusting the air conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"853\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"853\"\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"855\" data-end=\"1274\"\u003e• Automates mini-split air conditioner control through the Hydro-X system\u003cbr data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"931\"\u003e• Learns infrared commands directly from your AC remote control\u003cbr data-start=\"994\" data-end=\"997\"\u003e• Automatically switches between day and night temperature settings\u003cbr data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1067\"\u003e• Helps maintain stable grow room or grow tent climate conditions\u003cbr data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1135\"\u003e• LCD display for simple setup and operation\u003cbr data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1182\"\u003e• Firmware upgrade support via MicroSD\u003cbr data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003e• Plug \u0026amp; play installation with RJ12 connectivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1276\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1276\" data-end=\"1307\"\u003eHow It Solves Grow Problems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1309\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003eMaintaining stable temperatures is one of the biggest challenges in indoor growing. During lights-on periods, grow lights generate significant heat, while temperatures can drop during the dark cycle. Manually adjusting air conditioners for day and night conditions can be inconvenient and inconsistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1935\"\u003eThe ARS-1 solves this by allowing the Hydro-X system to automatically adjust the temperature setpoints of compatible mini-split air conditioners. Using the built-in photocell sensor within the Hydro-X system, the controller detects whether the grow lights are on or off and sends the appropriate IR command to the AC unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1937\" data-end=\"2234\"\u003eThis automation helps stabilise grow room temperatures throughout the grow cycle, supporting healthy root development, efficient nutrient uptake and optimal plant health. Consistent environmental control leads to stronger vegetative growth, improved flowering performance and better overall yield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2236\" data-end=\"2252\"\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2386\"\u003e• 1 × AC Remote Station (ARS-1)\u003cbr data-start=\"2285\" data-end=\"2288\"\u003e• 1 × IR signal emitter\u003cbr data-start=\"2311\" data-end=\"2314\"\u003e• 1 × 16 ft RJ12 cable\u003cbr data-start=\"2336\" data-end=\"2339\"\u003e• 1 × 4 ft RJ12 cable\u003cbr data-start=\"2360\" data-end=\"2363\"\u003e• 1 × RJ12 T-splitter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2388\" data-end=\"2402\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2388\" data-end=\"2402\"\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"2404\" data-end=\"2941\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2404\" data-end=\"2501\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2407\" data-end=\"2501\"\u003eConnect the ARS-1 module to the TrolMaster Hydro-X controller using the supplied RJ12 cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2502\" data-end=\"2589\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2505\" data-end=\"2589\"\u003ePosition the included IR signal emitter so it faces the indoor mini-split AC unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2590\" data-end=\"2671\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2593\" data-end=\"2671\"\u003eUse the ARS-1 to learn the IR commands from the mini-split’s remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2672\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2675\" data-end=\"2741\"\u003eAssign the ARS-1 address within the Hydro-X controller settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2742\" data-end=\"2827\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2745\" data-end=\"2827\"\u003eConfigure the desired day and night temperature setpoints in the Hydro-X system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"2828\" data-end=\"2941\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2831\" data-end=\"2941\"\u003eThe Hydro-X controller will automatically send IR commands to the air conditioner based on the lighting cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2943\" data-end=\"2971\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2943\" data-end=\"2971\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2973\" data-end=\"3137\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Output Voltage: 0–11.5V\u003cbr data-start=\"2998\" data-end=\"3001\"\u003e• Maximum Current: 0.2A\u003cbr data-start=\"3024\" data-end=\"3027\"\u003e• Operating Temperature: 32–122°F\u003cbr data-start=\"3060\" data-end=\"3063\"\u003e• Maximum Humidity: ≤90%\u003cbr data-start=\"3087\" data-end=\"3090\"\u003e• Dimensions: 160mm (L) × 86mm (W) × 86mm (H)**\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hydro Crop Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714867163402,"sku":null,"price":109.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/meters-sensors-trolmaster-hydro-x-ac-remote-station-ars-1-37701040963799.webp?v=1773571586","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/trolmaster-hydro-x-ac-remote-station-ars-1","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
