Carbon-X Controller with cable set, Free SmartPhone App

One Controller Watching CO2 Across Every Room

Supplemental CO2 becomes a safety issue rather than just a growing tool once it is used at facility scale, since unsafe concentrations in an occupied space can build up in a room nobody happens to be checking at that moment. The TrolMaster CDA-1 is the central controller of the Carbon-X system, monitoring CO2 levels across up to 13 separate zones or rooms from a single unit rather than requiring a dedicated monitor per room.

It lets you set both high and low CO2 alert thresholds to match local code, then automatically operates ventilation fans, dampers, and CO2 solenoid valves, or signals a facility's fire alarm panel, when a monitored zone crosses one of those thresholds.

Key Features & Benefits

• Up to 13 Monitored Zones — tracks CO2 across multiple rooms from one central controller instead of separate standalone monitors.
• Adjustable Alert Thresholds — sets high-level alerts up to 30,000 PPM and low-level alerts down to 5,000 PPM to match local code requirements.
• Automated Device Control — operates fans, dampers, and CO2 solenoid valves automatically when a threshold is crossed.
• Remote App Monitoring — delivers CO2 status and alert notifications to a phone through the free TrolMaster app.

Who Should Use the CDA-1 Carbon-X Controller

Facilities supplementing CO2 across more than one room need the CDA-1's centralized monitoring, automatic safety shutoffs, and remote alerting far more than a single-room grower would. It scales to a full building rather than one grow tent.

About TrolMaster

TrolMaster develops the Carbon-X line, including the CDA-1, out of its Sacramento, California headquarters as the company's dedicated CO2 safety and monitoring system. It is distinct from the climate-focused Hydro-X and irrigation-focused Aqua-X product lines the company also builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many rooms can one CDA-1 monitor?

A single CDA-1 covers up to 13 separate zones or rooms. That removes the need for a standalone CO2 monitor in each individual room.

Can the CDA-1 shut off CO2 supply automatically?

Yes, wiring the facility's main CO2 solenoid valve in series with one of the system's control modules lets the CDA-1 cut supply automatically. This happens whenever a fault or unsafe reading is detected.

Does every monitored room still need its own local alarm?

Yes, each room monitored by the Carbon-X system should have its own audio-visual alarm so occupants in that space get an immediate local warning. This is in addition to the centralized monitoring at the CDA-1.

Can I check CO2 levels without being at the controller?

Yes, the free TrolMaster app lets you review current status and receive alert notifications remotely. You do not need to be standing at the CDA-1 to know when a zone needs attention.
