The TrolMaster Hydro-X CO2 Sensor MBS-S8 is an optional sensor designed to measure CO2 levels within a growing area and integrate with the Hydro-X system. Here's an in-depth overview of its features, capabilities, and usage:
Key Features:
-
CO2 Measurement:
-
Precise Monitoring: Measures CO2 PPM (parts per million) within the growing environment, providing accurate data for optimal plant growth.
-
Hydro-X Integration: Connects to the Hydro-X system, allowing for automated CO2 control when used with one or more DSC-1 CO2 device modules.
-
Maintenance and Care:
-
Keep Dry and Clean: Sensors should be kept dry and clean to prevent premature failure. Avoid spraying foreign substances or allowing water/condensate on the sensors.
Compatibility:
-
Hydro-X System: Specifically designed for use with the TrolMaster Hydro-X system.
-
CO2 Control: Works in conjunction with DSC-1 CO2 device modules for comprehensive CO2 management.
