INTRODUCTION
Hydro-X Control System is the most intelligent and versatile environmental
control system on the market. It could control up to 512 lights, 4 temperature
devices, 2 humidity devices, 2 CO2 devices, 9 preprogram devices. With the
incredible flexibility, anyone could easily customize their own grow room system
for maximum yield.
The system comes with a 3-in-1 sensor detecting temperature, humidity & light.
A CO2 sensor is available for measuring CO2 level. When the measured value
exceeds your custom setting range, a warning message will be sent to your
smartphone. Smoke detectors are also available for smoke detection to alert you
if there is a fire. Hydro-X helps you to monitor your grow environments perfectly.
Hydro-X is specially designed to set up a daily lighting management for your
lighting system. Having 2 separate lines allows the user to create multiple
lighting layouts (and dimming sequence) based on their individual preferences.
This system can efficiently control your lighting system by running a schedule
with advanced functions like auto dimming, overheat shutdown, sunrise &
sunset simulation.
Hydro-X can control almost all kinds of devices in your grow rooms by its 4 types
of device stations. Temperature device stations, humidity device stations, CO2
device stations and program device stations are designed to be connected to
different devices for centralized control. Hydro-X offers a more smart and flexible
approach for the connection of the devices you want to be controlled.
Hydro-X keeps pace with the times, it has the ability to connect to the network
directly with a standard network cable. After downloading the app, you can
monitor and control the environment of your grow rooms anytime and anywhere.
You could read the historical data by graph on your smartphone and receive
warning messages if the growing environment exceeds your setpoints. A micro-
SD card is also available for data logging if the Internet is unavailable. With
Hydro-X, you can monitor and control the growing environment at your
fingertips.
FACTS
Here are some important things to consider when using the Hydro-X Control
System.
Each set of Hydro-X Control System can connect to one 3-in-1 sensor, one
CO2 sensor and up to 20 optional smoke detectors. The 3-in-1 sensor used to
detect temperature, humidity and light, the CO2 sensor used to detect CO2 level
and the smoke detectors are used to prevent fire.
Each lighting line MUST have a single wattage / type of xture connected to it.
You cannot mix xtures with different wattages on the same line interconnect
wiring. When connected to lights which are controlled by digital signal (such as
ThinkGrow DE ballast), 256 lights can be controlled on each line, with potentially
512 lights controlled in total. A lighting control adapter (signal converter) is
available for controlling the traditional lights which are controlled by analog
signal (0-10v), such as Gavita etc. Due to the limitation of the analog signal, the
system can control up to 40 traditional ballasts on each line, 80 traditional
ballasts in total on both lines.
Various devices (such as for Temp / Humid / CO2, etc.) can be connected to
this unit through 4 types of different Device Stations. Each device has its own
and dedicated device station, which can be purchased separately depending
your needs. Don't mix up device station for different device.
Sensors, Device Stations and Ballasts are connected to main controller by
using RJ12 cables to daisy-chain all the devices together. Each of the sensors
and devices stations comes with an RJ12 "T" splitter and RJ12 cables.Various
length pre-crimped RJ12 cables and additional T-shape splitters can be
purchased separately.
A maximum distance of 1000ft / 300 meters between the HCS-1 Hydro-X
Control System and the devices to be controlled.
Follow all local and national electrical codes for installation requirements.
The Hydro-X is designed for indoor use only. It is recommended to use our
Trolmaster's accessories for good performance.

CONNECTIONS
CONNECTIONS CONTINUED...
1. Power Connection:
Connect the plug-in power supply to the power (DC) connector.
2. Sensor connection:
Connect the RJ12 cable to the SENSORS connector and connect to a splitter on
the other end. Plug the 3-in-1 sensor to the splitter for connection. The other
connector on the splitter can be used to continuously connect to the next splitter.
Connect a CO2 sensor to the 2nd splitter. Repeat the procedure and connect
one or more smoke detector(s) if needed. Press the small button on the smoke
detector, the Hydro-X automatically assign an address to the unit sequentially.
3. Device Station Connection (main controller needs to be
powered on)
Connect the cable going from the DEVICES connector to the first Device Station
to be connected. Use the T-shape splitter and short RJ cable so that the first
cable can continue on to be connected to the next T-shape splitter (Device
Station) to be connected. Plug the Device Station to the wall outlet for power
supply. Press the small button on the device station, the system will
automatically assign an address to the device station in sequence. Repeat this
process until all device stations are connected to the main controller.
4. Light Connection
a ) For HID Lights
Connect the cable going from LINE 1 to the rst digital ballast to be connected.
Use the T-shape splitter and short RJ cable so that the first cable can continue
on to be connected to the next T-shape splitter (ballast) to be connected.Repeat
this process until all ballasts (fixtures) are connected to the LINE 1. Connect
more lights through the LINE 2 port. Same procedures applied for LINE 1.
b) For Traditional Lights
If connected to traditional lights which are controlled by analog (0-10v) such as
Gavita fixtures, a lighting control adapter (signal converter) is necessary to
convert the digital signal into analog signal. The connection is similar as above
but with a signed converter connected between ballast and controller. First,
connect the signal converter to the LINE 1 or LINE 2 connector and then
connect to a splitter on the other end. Finally, use another RJ12 cable to
connect between the splitter and the analog ballast. See the connection
diagram.
Each line can be set up to be a "staged" dimming zone. In other words, each
zone has its own independent dimming temperature setting as well as the
dimming actiaon. Having 2 lines allows the user to create multiple lighting
layouts (and dimming sequences) based on their individual preferences. Some
examples are shown below.
5. Internet Connection
