TrolMaster Smoke Detector for Hydro-X (MBS-SD) with 16 ft RJ12 Cable

TrolMaster Smoke Detector That Alerts Your Phone

Electrical trouble in a grow room tends to start at a ballast, a power strip or a heater cord, and the empty hours matter most. The MBS-SD watches for smoke around the clock and reports through the Hydro-X. If any detector senses smoke, the controller sends a push notification to your phone. Up to five detectors can connect to one Hydro-X, so a facility can cover several rooms or zones. Each unit runs on 12V from the controller at a maximum of 0.2 A, so no outlet is needed at the mounting spot. A small button handles address assignment when the detector joins the system. A built-in photocell also reads day or night mode. In the box are the detector, a 16 ft RJ12 cable and an RJ12 T-splitter for chaining. The working range is 32 to 122°F at up to 90% humidity. The package measures 160 x 86 x 86 mm, with a gross weight of 370 g. It is CE and ETL registered, with a three-year warranty.

Placing a Hydro-X Smoke Detector Over Lights and Electrical

Smoke rises, so mount it on the ceiling or high on a wall above the equipment you worry about most. Keep it out of the direct path of exhaust fans and supply vents, where moving air can carry smoke past it. Lighting rows, ballast racks and the electrical panel wall are the usual spots. Address each one in sequence during setup and note where it hangs, so an alert sends you to the right room. Test the phone alert during commissioning rather than waiting for a real event. Condensate and spray are the enemies here, so keep it clear of humidifier mist, foliar spraying and wash-down. A dry, clean sensor is a reliable sensor. The honest limit is that this is an alert device, not a fire system. It does not replace the smoke alarms and fire protection your building code requires. Treat it as an early warning when the room is empty, layered on top of those.
