The TrolMaster MBS-TH is the OEM 3-in-1 environmental sensor for the original Hydro-X HCS-1 controller, measuring air temperature, relative humidity, and ambient light through a built-in photocell. The photocell allows Hydro-X to detect actual day/night conditions and automatically switch between day and night settings. It uses a plug-and-play RJ12 connection and is supplied with a 16-ft cable and T-splitter. The sensor can serve as a direct replacement for a damaged sensor or provide an additional sensing point in a larger grow area.

• Installation: Position near canopy level for representative temperature and RH readings
• Use: Replacement sensor or additional environmental sensing point
• Additional Sensor: Can provide monitoring at a second location within the same grow space
• Recognition: Automatically recognized by the Hydro-X controller; no additional configuration required
• Hydro-X Pro Compatibility: No — HCS-2 uses the MBS-PRO
• Hydro-X Plus Compatibility: No — HCS-3 uses the MBS-PRO
• Included: 1× MBS-TH sensor, 1× 16-ft RJ12 cable, 1× RJ12 T-splitter
Key Advantage: The MBS-TH combines temperature, RH and day/night detection in one plug-and-play sensor, while the 16-ft cable allows it to be positioned closer to the canopy where environmental readings are more representative. It is also useful as an on-site backup for the original Hydro-X HCS-1 sensor.
