Description
Accurate CO₂ Monitoring for Automated Grow Room Control
The TrolMaster Hydro-X CO₂ Sensor (MBS-S8) is a high-precision sensor designed to continuously monitor carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels within your grow room. Working seamlessly with the TrolMaster Hydro-X Environmental Control System, the MBS-S8 provides real-time CO₂ measurements, allowing the system to automatically manage supplemental CO₂ equipment for optimal plant growth.
Featuring a built-in photocell for automatic day and night detection, plug-and-play installation, and reliable CO₂ monitoring, the MBS-S8 is an essential component for growers looking to maximise photosynthesis, improve plant health, and increase yields through precise environmental control. Designed for use with one or more TrolMaster DSC-1 CO₂ Device Modules, it delivers dependable performance in both hobby and commercial cultivation environments.

FAQs
What does the MBS-S8 measure?
The MBS-S8 continuously measures carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration in parts per million (PPM).
Does the MBS-S8 work on its own?
No. It is designed to operate with the TrolMaster Hydro-X Control System and compatible DSC-1 CO₂ Device Module(s).
What is the built-in photocell used for?
The integrated photocell automatically detects day and night conditions, allowing the Hydro-X system to manage CO₂ enrichment according to the lighting cycle.
Is installation easy?
Yes. The MBS-S8 features a plug-and-play RJ12 connection and includes the required cables and T-splitter for quick installation.
Can it be used in humid grow rooms?
Yes. It is designed to operate in environments with humidity levels up to 90% RH. For best performance, keep the sensor clean and protected from direct water or condensation.
