Smoke Detector for Hydro-X with cable set

Get Instant Smoke Alerts From Your Grow Room

An unattended grow room can go from a small electrical fault to a serious fire faster than anyone checking in periodically would catch it, which is exactly the gap a dedicated smoke detector closes. The TrolMaster MBS-SD smoke detector watches the growing area around the clock and pushes a phone alert the moment it senses smoke, so a grower can respond before a small problem becomes a serious one.

Up to five MBS-SD units can be addressed to a single Hydro-X (HCS-1) controller, letting a grower cover several rooms or zones from one control system rather than needing a separate standalone alarm per space.

Key Features & Benefits

• Address Assignment Button — gives each sensor its own address so the controller can tell units apart.
• Built-In Photocell — automatically detects day or night mode for the sensor.
• Plug & Play — connects directly to the Hydro-X system, no extra power supply required.
• Includes Cable Set — ships with an RJ12 cable and T-splitter for connecting to the controller.

Who Should Use the MBS-SD

Growers who want an early warning for fire risk in an unattended growing area, especially anyone running multiple rooms from a single Hydro-X controller, will benefit from having the MBS-SD in place. It's a safety accessory worth budgeting for alongside the rest of a Hydro-X build.

About TrolMaster

Fire detection sits alongside CO2 and water-leak sensing in the safety-focused accessories TrolMaster builds for its Hydro-X line at the company's Sacramento, California headquarters. Extending alerts to a grower's phone, rather than relying on a local alarm alone, reflects how the company ties its sensors into the free TrolMaster app across its product range.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many MBS-SD units can I connect to one controller?

Up to five MBS-SD units can be addressed to a single Hydro-X (HCS-1) controller. That's enough to cover several rooms or zones from one system.

What happens when smoke is detected?

The system sends a user alert to a phone so the room can be checked before the problem grows. That alert arrives through the free TrolMaster app.

Does the MBS-SD need its own power supply?

No, it is plug-and-play and is powered through its connection to the Hydro-X controller. No separate outlet or power adapter is needed.

How should I maintain the sensor?

Keep it clean and dry, and avoid spraying liquids or allowing condensation to build up on it. Regular visual checks help catch dust buildup before it affects sensitivity.
