Trolmaster Hydro-X Smoke Detector (MBS-SD)

The TrolMaster MBS-SD Smoke Detector is designed to add an extra layer of safety to indoor growing environments by detecting smoke within your grow tent or grow room. When connected to the Hydro-X environmental control system, the sensor continuously monitors the grow space and alerts growers if smoke is detected, helping identify potential electrical or equipment issues before they escalate.

Indoor growing setups often run multiple electrical devices such as grow lights, fans, pumps and climate control equipment. The MBS-SD provides early warning of potential hazards, allowing growers to act quickly and protect both their equipment and their plants.

By integrating with the Hydro-X system, the smoke detector ensures growers receive alerts immediately, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment for hydroponics and indoor growing operations.

Key Benefits

• Detects smoke within grow tents and grow rooms for added safety
• Integrates directly with the TrolMaster Hydro-X environmental controller
• Provides early warning of potential electrical or equipment issues
• Supports connection of multiple detectors for larger grow spaces
• Plug & play installation with RJ12 connectivity
• Built-in addressing button for easy setup
• Helps protect indoor growing equipment and plants

How It Solves Grow Problems

Indoor grow rooms often contain high-powered lighting systems, climate control equipment and irrigation devices. While these systems are essential for healthy plant growth, they also increase the importance of monitoring for potential electrical faults or overheating equipment.

The MBS-SD provides early smoke detection within the grow space, allowing growers to respond quickly if a problem occurs. Early alerts can help prevent equipment damage, reduce fire risk and protect valuable crops.

This added layer of monitoring is especially valuable in automated grow rooms where systems run continuously throughout vegetative growth and flowering cycles.

How to Use

1. Mount the MBS-SD smoke detector within the grow tent or grow room, ideally near the ceiling where smoke is most likely to accumulate.

2. Connect the detector to the TrolMaster Hydro-X controller using the included RJ12 cable.

3. Assign the device address using the built-in address button.

4. Use the included RJ12 T-splitter if connecting multiple sensors to the system.

5. Monitor alerts through the Hydro-X controller or connected mobile app.

6. Keep the sensor clean and dry to ensure reliable operation and prevent false readings.
