Organizować coś
1. Instalacja fizyczna
Choose a suitable location for the controller, ensuring it is easily accessible and protected from environmental extremes. Use the provided mounting hardware to secure the unit to a wall or flat surface.
This image illustrates the HCS-1 controller securely mounted on a wall. Cables for power, internet, sensors, and controlled devices are neatly connected to the ports on the bottom of the unit, demonstrating a typical installation scenario.
2. Podłączenie czujnika
Connect the 3-in-1 Temperature/Humidity/Light Sensor to one of the dedicated sensor ports on the controller. Ensure the sensor is placed in an area representative of your grow environment for accurate readings.
A schematic diagram showing how different sensors connect to the Hydro-X Control System. It highlights connections for a Smoke Detector (MBS-SD), a CO2 Sensor (MBS-S8), and a 3-in-1 Temp/Humid/Light Sensor (MBS-TH) to the controller's sensor ports.
Additional sensors, such as a CO2 sensor (MBS-S8) or smoke detectors (MBS-SD), can be connected to the available sensor ports as needed for expanded monitoring capabilities.
3. Połączenie urządzenia
Connect your horticultural devices, such as lighting systems, fans, or dehumidifiers, to the controller using appropriate TrolMaster control modules (e.g., Lighting Adaptor T). These modules connect to the Device Control Lines (Line1, Line2) on the HCS-1.
The HCS-1 controller is depicted connected via a cable to a TrolMaster Lighting Adaptor T (LMA-2). This setup demonstrates how the controller integrates with external modules to manage specific equipment, such as horticultural lighting systems.
4. Połączenie sieciowe
Connect an Ethernet cable from the HCS-1's Internet port to your router or network switch. This connection is essential for enabling remote monitoring and control via the smartphone application.
5. Włącz zasilanie
Once all connections are secure, connect the power adapter to the DC Power Input port and plug it into a 110 Volt power outlet. The controller will power on and initiate its startup sequence.
