TrolMaster Hydro-X Pro (HCS-2) Firmware Update 101.63.34 Now Available

Trolmaster has released its newest version of the Hydro-X Pro Control System (HCS-2) firmware that has addressed previously reported problems as well as to add some great new features.

New Features

  1. Add individual setpoints for ALL device modules. Previously the plug-in style of control modules could not have separate setpoints assigned for each module forcing the controller to use the system settings only. The new firmware allows the user to select separate setpoints for ALL device control modules. When you go into the settings for a particular device, you will now see a small asterisk/setting icon within the Temperature, Humidity and CO2 settings section. Click that icon to access individual or system settings for that device module.
  2. TrolMaster has added some new control modules called the TSH-1 and VFD-1 to control analog 0-10v and VFDmotor controllers.
  3. Created a new “spray” mode for people who need to spray their plants. Spray mode allows the user to dim their lights and activate/deactivate certain equipment while spraying.
  4. Added a user setting to select the current time zone in UTC. By entering the unit’s correct UTC timezone, the controller will be able to automatically correct / synchronize the timeclock when connected to the internet.
