The TrolMaster TS-3 Reheat Control Station adds automated reheat HVAC control to the Hydro-X system, allowing compatible single-stage HVAC systems and heat pumps to operate cooling and heating simultaneously. This enables the HVAC system to remove moisture through its refrigeration circuit while reheating the air before returning it to the room, providing dehumidification without unnecessarily lowering room temperature. It is designed for commercial cultivation environments where tight temperature and humidity/VPD control is required.
• SKU: TS-3
• Compatible Controllers: TrolMaster HCS-2 (Hydro-X), HCS-3 (Hydro-X Plus)
• HVAC Compatibility: Single-stage HVAC systems and heat pumps capable of simultaneous heating and cooling/reheat
• Incompatible Systems: Mini-split AC units and VRF systems
• Thermostat Wiring: Standard low-voltage 24VAC thermostat cable
• Wiring Configuration: Cooling, heating, and fan — standard 4-wire thermostat configuration
• Controller Connection: RJ12, plug-and-play, daisy-chain compatible
• Control Function: Simultaneous cooling + heating for reheat dehumidification
• Humidity Control: Hydro-X day/night humidity setpoints
• Temperature Control: Hydro-X day/night temperature setpoints
• Display: LCD with address-assignment interface
• Addressing: Plug-and-play automatic device assignment
• Firmware Updates: Micro-SD card, 32GB or less
• Power: Powered through the Hydro-X RJ12 bus; no separate power supply required for TS-3
• Maximum TS-Type Stations: Up to 4 per Hydro-X controller
• Operating Principle: Cooling removes moisture; heating reheats the conditioned air to maintain room temperature
• Included Cables: 1× 16-ft RJ12 cable, 1× 4-ft RJ12 cable, 1× RJ12 T-splitter
• Packed Weight: 0.40 kg
• Important HVAC Requirement: The connected HVAC must be designed to receive and act on simultaneous heat and cool signals; incompatible equipment may be damaged.
Key Advantage: The TS-3 allows a compatible HVAC system to perform dehumidification without sacrificing temperature stability. Instead of relying on a separate dehumidifier that adds heat or conventional cooling that can overcool the room, the HVAC refrigeration circuit removes moisture while the heating stage maintains the desired temperature.
