Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor

Let Hydro-X Auto-Adjust Light Output from One Sensor

The TrolMaster MBS-PAR Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor measures photosynthetically active radiation from any light source used to grow plants, with a spectral range of 389 to 692nm, plus or minus 5nm, and improved spectral response for more accurate LED measurements.

Paired with a Hydro-X controller, the sensor lets the system automatically raise or lower supplemental lighting output to continuously hold the exact PPFD level you select, removing the need for manual adjustments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Full-Spectrum PAR Measurement — Covers 389 to 692nm with improved LED measurement accuracy.
• Automatic Light Adjustment — Works with Hydro-X to hold a target PPFD level automatically.
• Onsite Reading — Displays measurements directly without extra software.
• Plug and Play Setup — Connects to a Hydro-X controller without complex configuration.

Who Should Use the TrolMaster MBS-PAR Sensor

growers running a Hydro-X controller who want supplemental lighting to adjust automatically based on real PPFD readings instead of fixed schedules.
