127mm (5") x 5m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through extraction and intake systems.
Ventilation fans generate sound from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this noise to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted sound.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and reducing unnecessary noise is desirable.
Supplied in a 5 metre length with a nominal 127mm / 5" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. The flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut to the required length during installation.
Why choose 127mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch ventilation equipment.
- 5 metre length - suitable for complete duct runs or cutting into several shorter sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - install only the amount required for a clean and efficient duct route.
- Suitable for horticultural environments - ideal for propagation, growing and other controlled-environment applications.
How does acoustic ducting reduce noise?
Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the duct route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along sections of ventilation duct where transmitted noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for indoor horticulture
Reliable ventilation helps manage temperature, humidity and air exchange within controlled growing environments. Extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of noise when operating continuously or at higher fan speeds.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air around an installation.
The 127mm / 5" size is suitable for compatible ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Good installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. The supplied 5m length can be cut so that only the amount actually required is installed.
Installing 127mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Support longer sections appropriately rather than allowing the entire weight of the ducting to hang directly from a fan, filter or connecting fitting.
Compatible ventilation equipment
- 127mm / 5" inline extraction fans
- Compatible 5-inch carbon filters
- Ventilation silencers
- Rigid round ductwork
- Duct connectors and couplers
- Elbows and bends
- Reducers and adapters
- Duct clamps and fixing accessories
Check the actual connection diameter of individual ventilation components before installation, as dimensions can vary slightly between manufacturers.

127mm (5") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal diameter of 127mm, equivalent to 5 inches, and is supplied in a 5 metre length. Is this suitable for a 5-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 127mm / 5" connection. Can it be used with a 5-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 127mm / 5" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control. Can it be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 5m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends in acoustic ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does duct length affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. Where should acoustic ducting be installed?
It can be used throughout a compatible ventilation route. Sections around the extraction fan can be particularly useful where transmitted fan noise is a concern. How should acoustic ducting be secured?
Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

Noise within a ventilation system can come from the fan motor, vibration and turbulent air moving through the ductwork. Some of this sound can travel along ordinary flexible duct and become noticeable elsewhere in the installation.
Acoustic ducting surrounds the flexible inner airflow passage with insulation designed to absorb transmitted sound. This helps reduce the amount of fan and airflow noise travelling through the ventilation route.
It can be particularly useful around extraction fans, between compatible fans and carbon filters, and along sections of ductwork where transmitted ventilation noise needs to be controlled.
Acoustic ducting is intended to reduce transmitted noise rather than make a ventilation system completely silent. Fan design, fan speed, airflow velocity, vibration and installation quality all contribute to the final noise level.
Acoustic ducting for controlled growing environments
Effective ventilation is important for managing temperature, humidity and air exchange within indoor growing environments. Higher-capacity extraction and intake equipment can, however, become a significant source of environmental-control noise.
Acoustic ducting provides a practical way to reduce sound transmission while maintaining the flexibility needed to connect ventilation equipment and route air through the installation.
The 254mm / 10" size is suitable for compatible higher-capacity ventilation systems using appropriately sized inline fans, carbon filters, connectors and other round duct fittings.
Getting the best airflow from acoustic ducting
Correct duct installation is important for maintaining ventilation performance. Flexible ducting should be extended sufficiently rather than left heavily compressed, helping create a smoother internal path for moving air.
Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. The supplied 5m length can be cut so that only the amount actually required is installed.
Installing 254mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connections.
Fit the flexible inner duct securely over the ventilation connection and fasten it using a suitably sized duct clamp or appropriate fixing. HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional sealing is required.
Arrange the surrounding insulation and outer covering neatly around the completed connection so that the acoustic layer remains as continuous as practical.
Larger insulated ducting should be supported appropriately rather than allowing its full weight to hang directly from a fan, carbon filter or connecting fitting.

254mm (10") Acoustic Ducting FAQs
What is acoustic ducting?
Acoustic ducting is insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help absorb and reduce sound transmitted through an extraction or intake system. What size is this acoustic duct?
This version has a nominal diameter of 254mm, equivalent to 10 inches, and is supplied in a 5 metre length. Is this suitable for a 10-inch extraction fan?
Yes, provided the fan has a compatible nominal 254mm / 10" duct connection. Can it be used with a 10-inch carbon filter?
Yes. It can be used with compatible 254mm / 10" carbon filters and extraction fans as part of an appropriately sized ventilation system. Does acoustic ducting reduce fan noise?
It helps reduce fan and airflow sound transmitted along the ductwork. It does not completely eliminate noise generated directly by the fan. Is acoustic ducting quieter than ordinary flexible ducting?
Its insulating layer is specifically intended to absorb transmitted sound, making it useful where reducing ventilation noise is important. Can acoustic ducting be used for horticultural extraction?
Yes. It is well suited to indoor horticultural ventilation systems where temperature, humidity and air exchange need to be managed while keeping transmitted ventilation noise under control. Can it be used for air intake?
Yes. Acoustic ducting can be incorporated into compatible intake as well as extraction systems. Can I cut the 5m duct into shorter sections?
Yes. It can be cut to suit the required ventilation route or divided into several individual sections. Should flexible acoustic ducting be fully extended?
It should be extended sufficiently for the installation rather than left unnecessarily compressed. This helps create a smoother internal path for airflow. Do bends in acoustic ducting affect airflow?
Yes. Tight bends increase resistance and turbulence, so smooth and gradual changes in direction are preferable wherever possible. Does duct length affect extraction performance?
Every length of duct introduces some resistance. Longer runs, multiple bends and additional fittings can therefore reduce the effective airflow of a ventilation system. Does larger acoustic ducting need supporting?
Yes. Larger insulated duct should be supported appropriately so its weight is not carried entirely by the fan, filter or connecting fittings. How should acoustic ducting be secured?
Use appropriately sized duct clamps or suitable ventilation fixings, with HVAC foil tape where additional sealing is required. How can horticultural ventilation noise be reduced further?
Correct fan sizing, sensible duct routing, vibration isolation, suitable fan-speed control and ventilation silencers can be combined with acoustic ducting to create a quieter overall system.

254mm (10") x 10m Acoustic Ducting is an insulated flexible ventilation duct designed to help reduce fan and airflow noise transmitted through high-capacity extraction and intake systems.
Powerful ventilation equipment can generate noise from both the fan itself and the movement of air through the system. Standard uninsulated ducting can allow this sound to travel along the ventilation route, while acoustic ducting incorporates an insulating layer around the inner duct to help absorb transmitted noise.
This makes it particularly useful for indoor horticulture, propagation areas, commercial growing areas and controlled growing environments where ventilation equipment may operate for extended periods and controlling unnecessary noise is important.
Supplied in a generous 10 metre length with a nominal 254mm / 10" diameter, it can be connected to compatible fans, carbon filters and ventilation fittings. Its flexible construction allows the duct to be routed around equipment and cut into the exact lengths required for the installation.
Why choose 254mm acoustic ducting?
- Helps reduce ventilation noise - acoustic insulation helps absorb sound transmitted through the ductwork.
- 254mm / 10" diameter - suitable for compatible 10-inch ventilation equipment.
- 10 metre length - ideal for longer ventilation routes or cutting into several individual sections.
- Insulated construction - designed to reduce transmitted sound compared with basic uninsulated flexible ducting.
- Flexible installation - straightforward to route around fans, filters and other ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for moving extracted air away from controlled growing areas.
- Suitable for intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Cut to length - use only the amount required for each part of the ventilation installation.
- Suitable for larger growing environments - useful where substantial airflow and reduced transmitted noise are both required.

Keep the duct route as short and direct as practical. Tight bends, crushed sections and unnecessary changes in direction create additional resistance and can reduce the effective airflow delivered by the fan.
Where the duct needs to change direction, use gradual bends wherever possible. Although this product provides 10 metres of ducting, there is no need to use the entire length in one continuous run.
Cutting each section to the length actually required can help minimise unnecessary airflow resistance while leaving the remaining duct available for other parts of the ventilation installation.
Installing 254mm acoustic ducting
Before installation, check that the fan, carbon filter and other ventilation components have compatible nominal 254mm / 10" connections.

127mm (5") x 5m COMBI Ducting is a flexible reinforced ventilation duct designed for reliable air movement in extraction and intake systems.
COMBI ducting combines the flexibility required for straightforward installation with a more robust outer construction than basic foil ducting. It is well suited to ventilation systems where ductwork needs to negotiate equipment, corners or other obstacles while remaining easy to position.
The flexible construction allows the duct to be extended, routed and cut to the required length, making it a practical choice for both new ventilation installations and replacement duct runs.
With a nominal diameter of 127mm / 5", this 5 metre length is designed for use with compatible fans, filters, connectors, reducers and other round ventilation components.
Why choose COMBI ducting?
- Reinforced flexible construction - designed to provide a more robust ducting solution while retaining installation flexibility.
- 127mm / 5" diameter - suitable for compatible 5-inch round ventilation systems.
- 5 metre length - provides flexibility when planning and installing duct runs.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air away from controlled environments.
- Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Flexible routing - useful where ductwork needs to pass around equipment or changes in direction.
- Can be cut to length - use only the amount required for the installation.
- Compatible with common ventilation equipment - suitable for matching fans, filters and round duct fittings.
- Easy to secure - compatible connections can be mechanically fixed using appropriately sized ducting clips or clamps.
Flexible ducting for controlled environment ventilation
Effective ventilation depends on moving air between components with as little unnecessary resistance as practical. Flexible COMBI ducting makes it easier to create a complete duct route without requiring rigid sections throughout the installation.
It is suitable for connecting compatible extraction fans, air filters and ventilation fittings in propagation areas, growing areas, nurseries and other controlled horticultural environments.
The duct can also be used for general ventilation applications where a flexible 127mm air duct is required.
Installing 127mm COMBI ducting
Extend the ducting to the required length and plan the route before making the final connections. Keeping the duct run reasonably direct helps reduce unnecessary airflow resistance.
Avoid excessively tight bends, severe compression or crushing the duct, as restrictions in the airflow path can reduce ventilation performance.
Fit the duct securely over compatible 127mm connections and use an appropriately sized ducting clip or clamp to create a reliable mechanical fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional air sealing is required.
Longer runs should be supported where necessary rather than allowing excessive sections of ducting to hang unsupported.
Getting the best airflow from flexible ducting
Flexible ducting provides considerable installation freedom, but the route of the duct still affects the performance of the ventilation system.
For efficient airflow, use the shortest practical duct route, minimise unnecessary bends and avoid leaving excessive compressed duct between components. Where a direction change is required, a gradual bend is preferable to a tightly folded section.
Fan performance should always be considered across the complete ventilation system, including the duct length, bends, filters, silencers, reducers and other fittings installed in the airflow path.

COMBI ducting is flexible ventilation ducting with a reinforced outer construction, providing a practical and robust way to connect ventilation equipment while retaining the flexibility needed for installation. What diameter is this COMBI ducting?
This version has a nominal diameter of 102mm, commonly referred to as 4-inch ducting. How long is the ducting?
This product is supplied as a 10 metre length. Can COMBI ducting be used with a 4-inch extraction fan?
Yes, it can be used with compatible fans designed for nominal 102mm / 4" ventilation connections. Can it connect to a carbon filter?
Yes. The ducting can be connected to a compatible 102mm carbon filter or to suitable adapters where different component sizes are being combined. Can COMBI ducting be used for air intake?
Yes. It can be used for both extraction and intake applications within a compatible ventilation system. Can I cut the 10m duct to shorter lengths?
Yes. Flexible ducting can be cut to suit the installation, making the 10 metre length useful where several shorter sections are required. Do I need to use the full 10 metres?
No. Use only the length required. Keeping duct runs as short and direct as practical generally helps minimise resistance to airflow. How should COMBI ducting be attached?
Fit the duct over a compatible connection and secure it with an appropriately sized ducting clip or clamp. HVAC foil tape can be added where further air sealing is required. Can the ducting bend around obstacles?
Yes. Its flexible construction allows it to be routed around equipment and obstacles, although gradual bends are preferable to tight folds or sharp restrictions. Do bends in flexible ducting reduce airflow?
Excessive duct length, tight bends and compressed sections can increase resistance to airflow, so a direct and unrestricted route is preferable. Can this ducting be used with reducers and connectors?
Yes. Compatible round connectors, reducers, elbows and other ventilation fittings can be incorporated into the duct system as required. Should flexible ducting be fully extended?
Where practical, extending the duct rather than leaving it heavily compressed helps create a smoother airflow path and reduces unnecessary restriction. Should a 10m duct run be supported?
Yes. Longer sections should be supported where necessary to help prevent excessive sagging and maintain the intended duct route. Is COMBI ducting the same as acoustic ducting?
No. COMBI ducting is primarily a reinforced flexible air duct. Acoustic ducting incorporates additional insulation specifically intended to help reduce the transmission of fan and airflow noise.

317mm (12.5") x 5m COMBI Ducting is a large-diameter flexible reinforced ventilation duct designed for reliable air movement in extraction and intake systems.
COMBI ducting combines the flexibility required for straightforward installation with a more robust outer construction than basic foil ducting. It is well suited to ventilation systems where ductwork needs to negotiate equipment, corners or other obstacles while remaining easy to position.
The flexible construction allows the duct to be extended, routed and cut to the required length. Its large 317mm diameter makes it particularly suitable for higher-airflow ventilation systems using correspondingly sized fans, filters and fittings.
Supplied in a practical 5 metre length, the duct can be used as a complete run or cut into shorter sections to suit the installation.
Why choose COMBI ducting?
- Reinforced flexible construction - combines practical installation flexibility with a more robust outer construction than basic foil ducting.
- 317mm / 12.5" diameter - designed for compatible large-diameter round ventilation systems.
- 5 metre length - suitable for complete duct runs or cutting into shorter sections.
- Suitable for extraction - ideal for carrying extracted air through compatible ventilation equipment.
- Suitable for air intake - can also be incorporated into compatible fresh-air intake systems.
- Large airflow capacity - the 317mm diameter is suited to ventilation systems designed to move substantial volumes of air.
- Flexible routing - easier to position around equipment and changes in direction than rigid ductwork.
- Can be cut to length - use only the amount required for the installation.
- Compatible with ventilation equipment - suitable for matching fans, filters, connectors and round duct fittings.
Large-diameter flexible ventilation ducting
Larger ventilation installations often require greater airflow capacity, making duct diameter an important part of system design. This 317mm COMBI ducting provides a flexible connection between compatible high-airflow ventilation components without requiring rigid ductwork throughout the entire system.
It can be used to connect appropriately sized extraction fans, air filters and ventilation fittings in propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas and other controlled environments.
The 5 metre length provides useful flexibility for individual equipment connections and ventilation runs while allowing excess ducting to be removed where a shorter route is required.
Installing 317mm COMBI ducting
Plan the duct route before making the final connections and extend the ducting to the required length. Keeping the route reasonably short and direct helps minimise unnecessary airflow resistance.
Avoid excessively tight bends, severe compression or crushing the duct. Restrictions become particularly important in higher-airflow systems because unnecessary resistance can affect overall ventilation performance.
Fit the duct securely over compatible 317mm connections and use an appropriately sized ducting clip or clamp to provide a reliable mechanical fixing. Suitable HVAC foil tape can also be used where additional air sealing is required.
The duct should be supported where necessary, particularly across longer horizontal sections, to prevent excessive sagging and maintain a clear airflow path.
Getting the best airflow from 317mm ducting
The performance of a ventilation system depends on more than fan capacity alone. Duct diameter, total duct length, bends, filters, reducers and other fittings all contribute to resistance within the airflow path.
Keep flexible ducting as straight and properly extended as practical. Where a direction change is required, use a gradual bend rather than sharply folding or compressing the duct.
There is no need to use the complete 5 metre length where a shorter connection is sufficient. Removing unnecessary duct length can help create a cleaner and less restrictive installation.

The 315mm (12.5") Fast Clamp provides a strong, secure and vibration-reducing connection between compatible circular ventilation components such as inline fans, filters and rigid duct fittings.
Rather than joining two pieces of ventilation equipment with a short section of flexible ducting, a Fast Clamp fits around the adjoining circular spigots to create a neat mechanical connection. This makes it particularly useful when installing fans directly alongside filters, silencers and other compatible ventilation equipment.
The galvanised steel outer band provides a strong connection, while the cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration between connected components. Reducing the direct transfer of fan vibration into adjoining ductwork can help reduce structure-borne noise within a ventilation system.
The clamp can also be released when equipment needs to be removed, making it a practical choice for installations where fans or other components may require periodic inspection, cleaning or servicing.
Why use a 315mm Fast Clamp?
- Secure mechanical connection - designed to join compatible 315mm circular ventilation components firmly together.
- Anti-vibration lining - cushioned inner material helps reduce vibration transfer between connected equipment.
- Helps control noise - isolating fan vibration can help reduce noise transmitted into adjoining ductwork.
- Galvanised steel construction - strong metal outer band provides a durable connection.
- Quick installation - wraps around adjoining circular connections and is tightened mechanically.
- Easy equipment removal - the connection can be released when a fan or other component requires maintenance.
- Professional installation - provides a neat alternative to improvised connections between compatible ventilation components.
- Large 315mm size - suitable for compatible higher-airflow ventilation equipment with nominal 315mm connections.
Connecting fans, filters and ventilation equipment
Fast Clamps are particularly useful where two compatible pieces of circular ventilation equipment need to be connected directly together. Typical examples include joining an inline extraction fan to a filter or connecting a fan to compatible rigid circular ductwork.
The cushioned lining sits between the metal clamp and the connected components, helping provide a secure fit while reducing the direct transmission of vibration from operating equipment into the rest of the ventilation system.
This makes Fast Clamps useful in propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas, controlled environments and general ventilation installations where both secure connections and vibration management are important.
How to install a 315mm Fast Clamp
Position the two compatible 315mm circular components together so that their connection points are correctly aligned. Open or loosen the Fast Clamp sufficiently to position it evenly around the joint.
Make sure the cushioned inner lining sits correctly around the connection before tightening the clamp. Tighten the fixings evenly until the components are held securely in position.
Avoid excessive tightening beyond what is required to produce a secure connection. Fans, filters and other heavy ventilation equipment should always be independently supported rather than relying on the Fast Clamp to carry their weight.

The 200mm (8") Fast Clamp provides a strong, secure and vibration-reducing connection between compatible circular ventilation components such as inline fans, filters and rigid duct fittings.
Rather than joining two pieces of ventilation equipment with a short section of flexible ducting, a Fast Clamp fits around adjoining circular spigots to create a neat mechanical connection. This makes it particularly useful when installing fans directly alongside filters, silencers and other compatible ventilation equipment.
The metal outer band provides a strong connection, while the cushioned inner lining helps isolate vibration between connected components. Reducing the direct transfer of fan vibration into adjoining ductwork can help reduce structure-borne noise within a ventilation system.
The clamp can also be released when equipment needs to be removed, making it a practical choice for installations where fans, filters or other components require periodic inspection, cleaning or servicing.
Why use a 200mm Fast Clamp?
- Secure mechanical connection - designed to join compatible 200mm circular ventilation components firmly together.
- Anti-vibration lining - cushioned inner material helps reduce vibration transfer between connected equipment.
- Helps control transmitted noise - reducing fan vibration entering adjoining ductwork can help create a quieter installation.
- Strong metal construction - robust outer band securely clamps compatible components together.
- Direct component connection - particularly useful when installing a compatible fan directly alongside a filter or rigid fitting.
- Removable connection - can be released when equipment needs to be inspected, cleaned or serviced.
- Professional installation - provides a neat alternative to improvised connections between compatible ventilation components.
- 200mm / 8" size - suitable for compatible ventilation equipment with nominal 200mm circular connections.
Connecting fans, filters and ventilation equipment
Fast Clamps are particularly useful where two compatible pieces of circular ventilation equipment need to be connected directly together. A common application is joining an inline extraction fan to a compatible filter, although they can also be used with suitable rigid circular ducting and other ventilation components.
The cushioned inner lining sits between the outer clamp and the connected components. This helps create a secure connection while reducing the direct transmission of vibration from operating equipment into adjoining parts of the ventilation system.
This makes the 200mm Fast Clamp useful in propagation facilities, nurseries, growing areas, controlled environments and general ventilation installations where both secure connections and vibration management are important.
How to install a 200mm Fast Clamp
Position the two compatible 200mm circular components together so that their connection points are correctly aligned. Open or loosen the Fast Clamp sufficiently to position it evenly around the joint.
Make sure the cushioned inner lining sits correctly around the connection before tightening the clamp. Tighten the fixings evenly until the components are held securely in position.
Avoid excessive tightening beyond what is required to produce a secure connection. Fans, filters and other substantial ventilation equipment should be independently supported rather than relying on the Fast Clamp to carry their weight.

Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster WD-1 Water Detector & Touch Spot is designed for use with the Aqua-X Irrigation Control System, providing both water leak detection and irrigation confirmation from a single sensor system.
The WD-1 can be configured in two different ways. In its standard leak detection mode, the Touch Spot is positioned where unwanted water is likely to collect, allowing the Aqua-X system to identify a leak and generate an alert.
Alternatively, the WD-1 can be assigned to an irrigation output and used as a watering verification sensor. When the associated pump or solenoid is activated, the system expects the WD-1 to detect water within the configured delay period. If water is not detected, Aqua-X can alert the user to a potential irrigation failure.
This provides an important additional layer of monitoring for automated irrigation. A controller may successfully switch an output on, but that alone cannot confirm that water actually reached the intended area. The WD-1 allows the system to verify the physical presence of water.
Why use the TrolMaster WD-1?
- Two operating functions - use the WD-1 for water leak detection or irrigation confirmation.
- Confirms irrigation has actually occurred - detects water following activation of an assigned pump or solenoid.
- Helps identify irrigation failures - Aqua-X can alert the user when water is not detected following an irrigation event.
- Leak monitoring - position the Touch Spot where unwanted water could accumulate to provide early warning of leaks.
- Aqua-X integration - designed specifically to operate as part of TrolMaster's irrigation control system.
- Remote alerts - when the Aqua-X is configured for remote connectivity, water detection events can generate alerts through the TrolMaster system.
- Expandable monitoring - multiple WD-1 detectors can be incorporated into an Aqua-X installation.
- LCD display - provides local information at the detector.
- Addressing button - allows the detector to be identified within the control system.
- Touch Spot included - supplied with the remote water detection point required for monitoring.
Watering confirmation for automated irrigation
Automated irrigation normally relies on the controller successfully switching pumps or solenoid valves. A switched output, however, does not necessarily mean that water has reached the crop. Pump failure, valve problems or other faults elsewhere in the irrigation system can prevent the expected watering event.
The WD-1 provides an additional physical confirmation point. It can be assigned to a controlled irrigation output and positioned where runoff accumulates or where water is expected to arrive.
When the assigned pump or solenoid operates, the Aqua-X expects the WD-1 to detect water within an adjustable delay period. If the expected water is not detected, the system can issue an irrigation failure alert.
This makes the WD-1 particularly valuable in automated irrigation systems where a missed watering event could otherwise remain unnoticed.
Water leak detection
The WD-1 can also operate as a conventional leak detector. Position the Touch Spot in an area where water should not normally be present, such as around a reservoir, nutrient tank, irrigation equipment or other potential leak point.
When water is detected, the WD-1 communicates the event to the Aqua-X system so the user can be alerted and investigate the cause.
This provides useful protection around irrigation equipment and water storage areas where unnoticed leaks could result in water damage, wasted nutrient solution or loss of reservoir contents.
Installation & Aqua-X integration
Mount the WD-1 Water Detector in a suitable location near the area being monitored. Connect the detector to the Aqua-X system using the supplied RJ12 connection and position the Touch Spot at the required detection point.
For leak detection, place the Touch Spot where leaking water is likely to reach it. For irrigation confirmation, position it where irrigation water or runoff will reliably reach the sensor during a normal watering event.
The WD-1 can then be addressed within the Aqua-X system and configured either as a leak sensor or assigned to the appropriate irrigation output for watering confirmation.
Important information about RO water
The WD-1 detects water through its electrical properties. Municipal water, well water and nutrient solution can normally be detected, but extremely pure reverse osmosis water may contain too few dissolved solids for reliable detection.
If the irrigation system uses very low-EC RO water, confirm reliable detection under the actual operating conditions before depending on the WD-1 for leak or watering confirmation.

TrolMaster WD-1 Water Detector FAQs
What does the TrolMaster WD-1 do?
The WD-1 detects the presence of water and can be configured either to monitor for unwanted leaks or to confirm that water has arrived following an irrigation event. What is watering confirmation?
Watering confirmation allows the control system to check for the physical presence of water after an assigned pump or solenoid has been activated. This provides additional verification that the irrigation event actually occurred. Can the WD-1 detect an irrigation failure?
Yes. When configured for watering confirmation, the WD-1 can be assigned to an irrigation output. If the expected water is not detected within the configured delay period, the Aqua-X system can generate an irrigation failure alert. Can the WD-1 be used purely as a leak detector?
Yes. Leak detection is one of its primary functions. The Touch Spot can be positioned where unwanted water is likely to collect. Where should I position the Touch Spot?
For leak monitoring, place it where leaking water is likely to accumulate. For watering confirmation, position it where irrigation water or runoff will reliably reach the sensor during a normal irrigation event. Does the WD-1 work with the TrolMaster Aqua-X?
Yes. The WD-1 is designed as a water detection accessory for the TrolMaster Aqua-X Irrigation Control System. Can the WD-1 send an alert to my phone?
When used with a correctly configured and connected Aqua-X system, water detection and irrigation failure events can be communicated through the TrolMaster monitoring system and app. Can I use more than one WD-1?
Yes. The Aqua-X system supports multiple WD-1 detectors, allowing different areas or irrigation outputs to be monitored independently. Can one WD-1 monitor a specific pump or solenoid?
Yes. In watering confirmation mode, a WD-1 can be assigned to a controlled irrigation output so the system can check that water is detected when that output operates. Will the WD-1 detect reverse osmosis water?
Not necessarily. Very pure RO water can have extremely low dissolved solids and may not be detected reliably. Detection should be tested under the actual water conditions being used. Does the WD-1 measure substrate moisture?
No. The WD-1 detects the presence of water. It is not a volumetric water content or substrate moisture sensor. Does the WD-1 measure EC or pH?
No. Its purpose is water detection and watering confirmation. EC and pH monitoring require the appropriate TrolMaster sensors and system components. Is the Touch Spot included?
Yes. The WD-1 package includes one Water Detector, one Touch Spot, one RJ12 T-Splitter and one 16ft RJ12 cable. Why use watering confirmation if the controller already operates the pump?
Switching a pump or solenoid confirms that the controller issued the command, but it does not by itself prove that water reached the intended area. The WD-1 adds a physical water-detection point to help identify failures that could otherwise go unnoticed.

Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster WCS-3 Water Content Sensor is a three-prong Volumetric Water Content (VWC) sensor designed to provide real-time measurement of the moisture level within growing media.
Inserted directly into the growing medium, the WCS-3 measures water content from 0-100% and provides growers with live substrate moisture information. This makes it easier to understand irrigation performance, monitor dry-back between irrigation events and make informed adjustments to watering strategy.
The WCS-3 is suitable for use in growing media including coco coir, soil and rock wool. Rather than relying solely on irrigation timings or judging moisture from the surface of the substrate, growers can monitor changes in actual volumetric water content over time.
A built-in tap-to-wake LCD allows the current VWC percentage to be viewed directly at the sensor. When connected to a compatible TrolMaster controller, readings can also be monitored through the control system, with compatible connected systems providing historical data, alarm functions and mobile monitoring.
Why choose the TrolMaster WCS-3?
- Real-time substrate moisture measurement - monitors Volumetric Water Content from 0-100%.
- Three-prong VWC sensor - inserted directly into the growing medium for representative substrate measurement.
- Supports crop steering strategies - useful for monitoring irrigation response and substrate dry-back.
- Tap-to-wake LCD - view the current VWC percentage directly on the sensor without returning to the main controller.
- Historical monitoring - compatible TrolMaster systems can record moisture data so changes in substrate water content can be viewed over time.
- High and low alarms - compatible systems can notify the user when water content moves outside configured limits.
- Multiple growing media - suitable for media including coco coir, soil and rock wool.
- Daisy-chain capability - multiple WCS-3 sensors can be connected to compatible TrolMaster controllers.
- Wide system compatibility - supports several Aqua-X, Hydro-X Pro and TrolMaster control platforms.
- Expandable monitoring - multiple sensors can be positioned throughout larger growing areas to provide greater visibility of irrigation performance.
Monitor substrate dry-back & irrigation response
Knowing when irrigation has taken place is only part of understanding a crop's water management. The WCS-3 allows growers to see how the water content of the substrate changes following each irrigation event and how quickly that moisture level subsequently declines.
This dry-back information can help identify whether irrigation events are too frequent, too widely spaced or need adjustment as plant demand and environmental conditions change.
When readings are recorded through a compatible TrolMaster system, growers can observe moisture trends rather than relying on a single measurement. This is particularly useful when developing more precise irrigation and crop steering strategies.
Suitable growing media
The three-prong WCS-3 probe is inserted directly into the substrate being monitored. TrolMaster specifies the sensor for growing media including:
- Coco coir - monitor water content and dry-back in coco-based production systems.
- Soil & potting media - track changes in substrate moisture between irrigation events.
- Rock wool - monitor VWC within compatible rock wool growing media.
Sensor placement is important. Position the probe in a representative part of the root zone and use consistent placement when comparing multiple plants or growing areas.
Water content monitoring for crop steering
The WCS-3 is designed to support crop steering irrigation strategies by giving growers visibility of the substrate's response to irrigation.
Instead of working from irrigation duration and frequency alone, VWC data provides another layer of information showing how much the substrate water content increases following irrigation and how it declines during the subsequent dry-back period.
This information can be used alongside plant stage, environmental conditions and other crop data when refining irrigation schedules.
Built-in tap-to-wake LCD display
The WCS-3 incorporates an LCD directly into the sensor body. The display can be activated by tapping or disturbing the sensor and shows the current VWC percentage at the measurement point.
This allows quick local checks without needing to return to the main controller. The same water-content information can also be viewed through a compatible connected TrolMaster control system.
TrolMaster controller compatibility
The WCS-3 is compatible with a range of TrolMaster control platforms and supports multiple sensors on compatible systems.

The TrolMaster WCS-1 Water Content Sensor provides real-time monitoring of the percentage of water and nutrient solution held within the growing medium, helping growers understand irrigation response and substrate dry-back.
Designed for integration with compatible TrolMaster control systems, the WCS-1 uses a multi-prong substrate probe to monitor moisture within the root zone. The current water-content percentage can be viewed directly on the WCS-1 LCD as well as through the connected controller and TrolMaster app.
Rather than relying on irrigation timings alone, growers can see how the substrate responds after watering and how quickly it dries between irrigation events. This information can then be used to refine irrigation frequency, duration and overall watering strategy.
Historical data can also be displayed as a graph through the TrolMaster app, providing a clear picture of wetting and dry-down cycles over time. When multiple WCS-1 sensors are connected to a single Aqua-X, the controller and app display the average reading from the connected sensors.
Why choose the TrolMaster WCS-1?
- Real-time water-content monitoring - continuously measures the moisture level within the growing medium.
- 0-100% measurement range - provides an easy-to-understand percentage water-content reading.
- Monitor substrate dry-back - see how quickly growing media dries between irrigation events.
- Improve irrigation decisions - use real substrate data to help refine irrigation frequency and duration.
- Built-in LCD display - view the current water-content reading directly on the WCS-1 module.
- App graphing - compatible TrolMaster systems can display historical water-content data as a graph.
- High and low monitoring - the system can provide an alarm when configured water-content limits are exceeded.
- Expandable sensing - up to eight WCS-1 sensors can be connected to a single Aqua-X NFS-1 controller.
- Multiple-zone insight - several sensors can be distributed through a growing area to provide a broader picture of substrate conditions.
- Supplied as a complete cable set - includes the WCS-1 sensor, RJ12 T-Splitter and 16ft RJ12 cable.
Monitor irrigation & substrate dry-back
The WCS-1 allows growers to see what happens inside the growing medium following an irrigation event. As water or nutrient solution enters the substrate, the measured water content rises. As plants use water and the substrate dries, the reading falls.
Viewing this cycle over time provides useful information about the actual behaviour of the root zone. This can help identify irrigation events that are too frequent, insufficient dry-back between waterings or periods where the substrate is becoming drier than intended.
The resulting information can be used alongside crop stage, environmental conditions and plant demand when adjusting an irrigation programme.
Calibration for your growing medium
TrolMaster recommends calibrating each WCS-1 to the growing medium and nutrient solution being used. Different substrates can hold water differently, so calibration helps the sensor provide useful readings for the specific irrigation system.
For calibration, the probe should be installed in the growing medium at approximately one-third of the way up from the bottom of the container, or as close to this position as practical.
Fully saturate the growing medium with the nutrient solution normally used for irrigation until runoff occurs. Allow the medium to sit for approximately 2-3 minutes, then press and hold the WCS-1 addressing button for approximately five seconds to perform the calibration.
Use the normal nutrient solution rather than fresh water when calibrating, as the characteristics of the irrigation solution can affect sensor calibration.
Using multiple WCS-1 sensors
A single Aqua-X NFS-1 can support up to eight WCS-1 Water Content Sensors. This allows sensors to be positioned at representative points throughout a larger irrigation system rather than relying on a single measurement location.
When multiple WCS-1 sensors are connected to one Aqua-X, the value displayed by the Aqua-X controller and app is the average of the connected sensor readings.
This can provide a useful overall indication of substrate moisture across the monitored growing area while individual sensor placement helps account for variation between different locations.

- Control up to 30 irrigation outputs - build a multi-zone watering system using compatible 24V, mains-powered and program-device control modules.
- Professional modular design - start with the functions you require and expand the Aqua-X system as the irrigation installation develops.
- Precise irrigation scheduling - configure individual watering schedules with different start times and durations.
- Cycle timer control - supports repeating irrigation cycles for applications requiring frequent, accurately timed watering events.
- Watering confirmation - the included WD-1 can be assigned to an irrigation output to confirm that water physically reaches the monitored location.
- Leak detection - use Water Detectors to identify unwanted water and provide an early warning of leaks.
- Optional pH, EC & temperature monitoring - integrate compatible TrolMaster nutrient sensors using an AMP-2 Sensor Board.
- Optional substrate moisture monitoring - connect up to eight compatible Water Content Sensors to monitor growing-medium water content.
- Free TrolMaster smartphone app - remotely access compatible settings, readings, alerts and historical information when the controller is connected to the internet.
- Historical data logging - review monitored nutrient and irrigation information through the TrolMaster system.
- Backlit LCD display - local system information and settings remain accessible directly from the controller.
Control up to 30 irrigation outputs
The Aqua-X NFS-1 can control up to 30 individual outputs by connecting compatible TrolMaster control modules. This makes it suitable for installations ranging from a relatively simple automated watering system to larger multi-zone irrigation layouts.
TrolMaster's OA6-24 Control Board provides six individually controlled 24V outputs for compatible solenoid valves, while other Aqua-X modules allow compatible pumps and powered irrigation equipment to be incorporated into the system.
A maximum of five compatible control modules can be connected to the NFS-1, with the combined system supporting up to 30 independently controlled outputs.
Flexible irrigation scheduling
The NFS-1 supports both scheduled and repeating irrigation control, giving growers much greater flexibility than a conventional single-output timer.
Up to 12 individual customisable irrigation schedules can be configured to operate at selected times of day with different watering durations. TrolMaster also provides cycle timer functionality for repeating irrigation events.
ON durations can be configured down to 1 second, while repeating timer OFF periods can be set as low as 1 minute. This makes the Aqua-X particularly useful where irrigation needs to be delivered in short, accurately controlled events.
Water detector included
Every NFS-1 is supplied with a WD-1 Water Detector and Touch Spot. The detector can perform two important roles within an Aqua-X installation.
Leak detection
The Touch Spot can be positioned in an area where unwanted water would collect. If water is detected, the Aqua-X can provide an alert, helping identify leaks before they develop into a larger problem.
Watering confirmation
The WD-1 can alternatively be assigned to a specific irrigation output. When that output is activated, the system can use the detector to confirm that water actually arrived at the monitored location.
This is an important distinction because activating a pump or solenoid does not necessarily mean that water was successfully delivered. A blocked line, empty reservoir, pump problem or other irrigation fault can prevent delivery even though the controller operated correctly.
The NFS-1 can support up to 30 Water Detectors, allowing watering confirmation or leak monitoring to be expanded across a larger irrigation installation.
Expand into nutrient & substrate monitoring
The Aqua-X is more than an irrigation timer. Optional TrolMaster sensors allow the NFS-1 to become a central monitoring platform for both nutrient solution and growing-medium conditions.
pH, EC & nutrient temperature
One optional AMP-2 Sensor Board can be connected to the NFS-1. The AMP-2 supports compatible TrolMaster pH and EC/temperature probes, allowing nutrient-solution pH, electrical conductivity and temperature to be monitored continuously.
Substrate water content
The NFS-1 supports up to eight compatible Water Content Sensors, allowing growers to monitor moisture within the root-zone substrate and use the resulting information to better understand irrigation and dry-back behaviour.
These monitoring functions complement the irrigation controls, allowing watering schedules and actual crop conditions to be viewed within the same Aqua-X ecosystem.
Remote access with the TrolMaster app
When the NFS-1 is connected to a compatible internet service, the free TrolMaster smartphone app provides remote access to Aqua-X information and settings.
Growers can access irrigation settings, monitored sensor information, historical data and system alerts without needing to be physically beside the controller.
This is particularly useful for identifying irrigation failures, leaks or nutrient conditions that move outside configured limits.

Unit price per
Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster MBS-TH is the replacement 3-in-1 environmental sensor for the Hydro-X HCS-1, combining air temperature, relative humidity and day/night light detection in a single plug-and-play sensor.
The MBS-TH provides the Hydro-X controller with the environmental information it needs to manage compatible heating, cooling, humidification, dehumidification and other climate-control equipment.
Temperature and humidity are continuously measured and reported back to the Hydro-X, while the integrated photocell determines whether the growing area is in its light or dark period. The controller can then use these readings together with compatible TrolMaster Device Stations to automatically manage connected environmental equipment.
This product is supplied as a replacement or spare MBS-TH sensor. A 3-in-1 sensor is already included as standard with a new Hydro-X HCS-1 controller, making this unit ideal for replacing an existing sensor or keeping a spare available for an established installation.
Why choose the TrolMaster MBS-TH?
- 3-in-1 environmental monitoring - combines temperature, relative humidity and day/night detection in one sensor.
- Designed for Hydro-X - the standard environmental sensor used with the TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1 control system.
- Continuous temperature monitoring - provides the controller with real-time air-temperature information for automated climate control.
- Continuous humidity monitoring - allows compatible humidification and dehumidification equipment to respond to changing relative humidity.
- Built-in photocell - automatically detects the presence of light so the controller can determine day and night operation.
- Plug-and-play installation - connects to the Hydro-X sensor network using TrolMaster's RJ12 connection system.
- 16ft RJ12 cable included - provides approximately 4.9m of cable for flexible sensor positioning.
- RJ12 T-Splitter included - allows the sensor to form part of the Hydro-X daisy-chained sensor network.
- Ideal replacement or spare - replace an existing MBS-TH without purchasing another controller.
Temperature & humidity monitoring
Environmental control depends on accurate information about conditions within the crop area. The MBS-TH continuously supplies the Hydro-X with air-temperature and relative-humidity readings, allowing the controller to compare actual conditions against the settings configured by the user.
Compatible TrolMaster control modules can then switch or regulate connected environmental equipment according to those readings. Depending on the equipment and Device Stations installed, a Hydro-X system can be configured to manage heating, cooling, air conditioning, ventilation, humidification and dehumidification.
The MBS-TH therefore acts as one of the primary environmental feedback sensors within a Hydro-X installation.
Built-in day/night photocell
In addition to temperature and humidity, the MBS-TH incorporates a photocell that allows the Hydro-X to identify whether lights are on or off.
The photocell detects the presence of light rather than measuring light intensity. It is therefore used for day/night detection and should not be confused with a PAR or PPFD sensor.
For growers requiring actual photosynthetic light measurement, TrolMaster offers the separate MBS-PAR Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor.
Environmental control with Hydro-X
The MBS-TH itself is a monitoring sensor rather than a switching device. Environmental equipment is controlled through compatible TrolMaster Device Stations connected to the Hydro-X controller.
The controller receives temperature and humidity information from the MBS-TH, compares those readings with the configured environmental settings and then sends the appropriate control commands to the connected Device Stations.
This modular approach allows the Hydro-X system to be configured around the environmental equipment already being used rather than requiring a fixed collection of devices.
Sensor positioning & installation
Position the MBS-TH where it can provide a representative measurement of conditions within the growing environment. Avoid locations directly affected by heaters, air-conditioning outlets, humidifiers or other equipment that could produce an unrepresentative local reading.
The sensor connects to the Hydro-X SENSORS port through the supplied RJ12 cable and T-Splitter. Additional compatible Hydro-X sensors can be daisy-chained using further splitters and RJ12 cabling.
Keep the MBS-TH dry and clean. TrolMaster specifically advises against spraying foreign substances onto the sensor or allowing water or condensation to collect on it, as contamination or moisture can cause premature sensor failure.
Hydro-X compatibility
The MBS-TH is specifically designed as the 3-in-1 environmental sensor for the original TrolMaster Hydro-X HCS-1.
It should not be confused with the MBS-PRO used by the Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus systems. The MBS-PRO is a different 4-in-1 sensor that additionally measures CO2 concentration.

The TrolMaster MBS-SD is an optional smoke detection sensor designed to integrate directly with compatible TrolMaster environmental control systems, providing continuous smoke monitoring and remote warning through the TrolMaster system.
When smoke is detected, the MBS-SD communicates with the connected TrolMaster controller so the user can be alerted to a potential problem. On an internet-connected Hydro-X system, an alert can also be sent to the user's smartphone through the TrolMaster app.
Multiple MBS-SD sensors can be installed to monitor different areas. The original Hydro-X HCS-1 supports up to five smoke detectors, allowing coverage to be expanded across a larger controlled environment.
Installation is straightforward using TrolMaster's RJ12 sensor network. The MBS-SD is supplied with a 16ft RJ12 cable and T-Splitter, allowing it to be daisy-chained alongside other compatible TrolMaster sensors.
Why choose the TrolMaster MBS-SD?
- Continuous smoke monitoring - designed to detect the presence of smoke within the monitored environment.
- TrolMaster system integration - communicates directly with compatible TrolMaster environmental controllers.
- Smartphone alerts - an internet-connected compatible controller can send an alert through the TrolMaster app if smoke is detected.

Smoke detection integrated with environmental control
Controlled horticultural environments can contain lighting systems, environmental-control equipment, pumps, fans and other electrical devices that may operate for long periods without constant supervision.
The MBS-SD adds smoke detection directly to the TrolMaster monitoring system. If a connected detector identifies smoke, the controller can generate an alarm so the user is made aware of the potential problem.
When remote connectivity is configured, this warning can also be delivered through the TrolMaster smartphone app. This makes the MBS-SD particularly useful for facilities that are not continuously occupied.
Multiple detectors for wider coverage
A single detector may not be appropriate for every installation, particularly where equipment is distributed across a larger space. TrolMaster therefore allows multiple MBS-SD sensors to be connected to compatible controllers.
The original Hydro-X HCS-1 supports up to five MBS-SD smoke detectors. Each detector is connected to the sensor network and assigned an address using the small button built into the unit.
If any connected MBS-SD detects smoke, the Hydro-X can generate a warning to alert the user.
Plug-and-play RJ12 installation
The MBS-SD connects to the controller's sensor network using the supplied RJ12 cable and T-Splitter. Other compatible sensors can be daisy-chained along the same sensor connection using additional T-Splitters and RJ12 cables.
Once connected, the small address-assignment button on the MBS-SD is used to allow the controller to identify the detector.
Position detectors appropriately within the monitored environment and follow the TrolMaster installation instructions when adding multiple sensors.
Sensor care
The MBS-SD should be kept dry and clean. TrolMaster advises against spraying foreign substances onto its sensors or allowing water or condensation to collect on them.
Moisture, contamination or residues entering the sensor can cause incorrect operation or premature failure, so detector placement should take this into account.
Important safety information
The MBS-SD provides additional smoke monitoring as part of a compatible TrolMaster environmental control installation. It should be treated as an additional monitoring and alerting device rather than as a substitute for any smoke alarms, fire detection systems or other life-safety equipment required for the premises.
Appropriate certified fire detection and alarm equipment should always be installed and maintained where required by the building, application and applicable regulations.

The TrolMaster MBS-PRO is a professional 4-in-1 environmental sensor combining air temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentration and day/night light detection in a single unit for the Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus control systems.
By combining four important environmental measurements into one sensor, the MBS-PRO gives a compatible TrolMaster controller the real-time information required to manage temperature, humidity and CO2 equipment while automatically identifying whether the controlled area is in its light or dark period.
Unlike the MBS-TH used with the original Hydro-X HCS-1, the MBS-PRO incorporates a dedicated CO2 sensor and an onboard LCD display. Current environmental conditions can therefore be checked directly at the sensor as well as through the connected TrolMaster controller.
Multiple MBS-PRO sensors can be positioned throughout larger installations, allowing conditions to be measured at different locations rather than relying on a single environmental reading for the entire area.
Why choose the TrolMaster MBS-PRO?
- 4-in-1 environmental monitoring - combines temperature, relative humidity, CO2 and day/night light detection.
- Designed for Hydro-X Pro & Hydro-X Plus - developed specifically for TrolMaster's advanced HCS-2 and HCS-3 environmental controllers.
- CO2 monitoring built in - continuously measures carbon dioxide concentration in PPM without requiring a separate environmental CO2 sensor.
- Temperature monitoring - provides real-time air-temperature data for compatible heating and cooling control.
- Humidity monitoring - provides relative-humidity information for compatible humidification and dehumidification equipment.
- Day/night photocell - detects the presence of light so the controller can identify light and dark periods automatically.
- Built-in LCD display - view current environmental readings directly at the sensor.
- Multi-sensor capability - install sensors at different positions for more representative environmental monitoring.
- Sensor averaging - compatible systems can use readings from multiple sensors together to provide averaged environmental data.
- Zone-specific monitoring - individual sensors can also be associated with specific control devices for localised environmental management.
- Push-lock connection - updated connection system designed to simplify installation.
- Water-resistant enclosure design - uses TrolMaster's updated injected enclosure for demanding controlled-environment applications.
Four environmental measurements from one sensor
The MBS-PRO combines several measurements that would otherwise require separate environmental sensors. Data is continuously sent to the connected Hydro-X Pro or Hydro-X Plus controller, where it can be used for environmental monitoring and equipment control.
Air temperature
Temperature information can be used by the controller to operate compatible heating, cooling, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment through the appropriate TrolMaster control modules.
Relative humidity
Continuous relative-humidity monitoring allows compatible humidifiers, dehumidifiers and ventilation equipment to respond to changing moisture levels in the air.
CO2 concentration
The integrated CO2 sensor measures carbon dioxide concentration in parts per million (PPM). Compatible TrolMaster control equipment can use this information to manage CO2 supplementation and maintain configured CO2 parameters.
Day/night light detection
The built-in photocell detects whether light is present, allowing the controller to determine whether the environment is in its day or night period.
Day/night sensor, not a PAR meter
The MBS-PRO photocell detects the presence of light, not its intensity. This distinction is important when selecting sensors for a TrolMaster system.
The MBS-PRO tells the controller whether the lights are effectively on or off. It does not measure PAR, PPFD or Daily Light Integral.
For actual photosynthetic light measurement, the separate TrolMaster MBS-PAR Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor is required. Compatible Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus systems can use the MBS-PAR for advanced light-level and DLI monitoring and control.
Multi-point environmental monitoring
One of the major advantages of the MBS-PRO is its ability to form part of a multi-sensor installation. Environmental conditions can vary considerably across a larger controlled area, particularly around lighting, ventilation outlets, heating and cooling equipment.
Multiple MBS-PRO sensors can therefore be positioned at different locations to provide a better understanding of conditions throughout the environment.
Depending on the controller and configuration, sensor readings can be averaged together or individual sensors can be associated with specific control equipment. This allows the TrolMaster system to respond to conditions in a particular section rather than relying solely on one central reading.
Hydro-X Pro & Hydro-X Plus compatibility
| Hydro-X Pro HCS-2 | Compatible. The HCS-2 supports up to 50 sensors in combination across its compatible sensor types. |
|---|---|
| Hydro-X Plus HCS-3 | Compatible. Up to 6 MBS-PRO sensors can be connected to one HCS-3 system. |
| Original Hydro-X HCS-1 | Not the standard sensor for this controller. The HCS-1 uses the MBS-TH 3-in-1 sensor and separate MBS-S8 CO2 sensor. |
A new Hydro-X Pro or Hydro-X Plus controller is supplied with an MBS-PRO as its primary environmental sensor. This separately supplied unit is therefore ideal for replacing an existing sensor or expanding a compatible system with additional environmental monitoring points.
Important SPH-1 power requirement
TrolMaster specifies that the MBS-PRO requires the SPH-1 Sensor Hub for supplemental power.
This is particularly important when designing or expanding a multi-sensor installation. The SPH-1 provides the additional power and connection capacity required by the MBS-PRO sensor network.
Sensor positioning
Position the MBS-PRO where it can provide a representative measurement of the environmental conditions experienced by the crop.
Avoid locations where readings could be disproportionately affected by direct heating, cooling outlets, humidifiers, dehumidifiers or concentrated CO2 discharge. When several MBS-PRO sensors are installed, positioning them across different sections of the controlled environment can provide more useful information about environmental variation.
The sensor's built-in LCD makes it particularly useful during installation and routine checks because conditions at each individual sensor location can be viewed directly without returning to the main controller.

The Hydro-X Plus HCS-3 supports up to six MBS-PRO 4-in-1 sensors. How many sensors can the Hydro-X Pro support?
The Hydro-X Pro HCS-2 supports up to 50 compatible sensors in combination, allowing MBS-PRO sensors to form part of a much larger sensor network. Can readings from several sensors be averaged?
Yes. Compatible TrolMaster systems can use multiple environmental sensors together to provide averaged readings, helping provide a more representative measurement across a larger area. Can an MBS-PRO control a specific environmental zone?
On compatible systems, individual sensors can be associated with specific control devices so equipment can respond to conditions measured in a particular section of the controlled environment. Does the MBS-PRO directly switch heaters, fans or CO2 equipment?
No. The sensor provides environmental measurements to the controller. Compatible TrolMaster control modules then operate the connected heating, cooling, humidity, ventilation or CO2 equipment according to the controller settings. Does the MBS-PRO require an SPH-1 Sensor Hub?
Yes. TrolMaster specifies that the MBS-PRO requires the SPH-1 for supplemental power. Is an MBS-PRO already supplied with a new Hydro-X Plus?
Yes. A new Hydro-X Plus HCS-3 includes one MBS-PRO as its main environmental sensor. A separately purchased MBS-PRO can therefore be used as a replacement or to add another monitoring position. What is the difference between the MBS-PRO and MBS-TH?
The MBS-TH is a 3-in-1 temperature, humidity and day/night sensor designed for the original Hydro-X HCS-1. The MBS-PRO adds integrated CO2 measurement and a local LCD display and is designed for the Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus. Why use multiple environmental sensors?
Temperature, humidity and CO2 can vary across a larger controlled environment. Using multiple sensors allows conditions to be monitored at several locations and can provide more representative data or enable localised environmental control.

The TrolMaster LMA-G Group Control Lighting Adapter is designed to divide compatible ThinkGrow Model-I and Model-I Plus LED fixtures into independently controlled lighting groups when used with a compatible TrolMaster lighting control system.
Instead of operating every compatible ThinkGrow fixture as one lighting group, the LMA-G allows separate groups of fixtures to be created. Each group can then be assigned its own lighting settings through a compatible TrolMaster controller.
One LMA-G is required for each lighting group. This gives commercial growers and larger controlled-environment installations much greater flexibility when different sections require separate lighting schedules, output levels or spectrum settings.
The LMA-G features an integrated LCD display for group addressing and is supplied with a 12ft ECS-9 RJ12-to-4-pin connector cable for integration with the ThinkGrow lighting system.
Why choose the TrolMaster LMA-G?
- Independent lighting groups - divide compatible ThinkGrow LED fixtures into separately controlled groups.
- Designed for ThinkGrow Model-I & Model-I Plus - purpose-built for compatible ThinkGrow single-bar LED fixtures.
- One adapter per group - each LMA-G creates and controls one individual lighting group.
- Up to 10 lighting groups - compatible Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus systems can provide group control for up to 10 groups of ThinkGrow LEDs.
- Individual group settings - different lighting groups can be configured with their own control settings through the compatible TrolMaster system.
- LCD group addressing - built-in display simplifies identification and assignment of each lighting group.
- Plug-and-play design - integrates into the TrolMaster and ThinkGrow control network without modifying the LED fixtures.
- ECS-9 cable included - supplied with the required 12ft RJ12-to-4-pin ThinkGrow connector cable.
- Low-voltage control - operates from the TrolMaster lighting-control network rather than switching the fixtures' mains power directly.
Create independently controlled lighting groups
Large lighting installations do not always need every fixture to operate identically. Different areas may contain crops at different developmental stages, require different light levels or operate on separate production schedules.
The LMA-G allows compatible ThinkGrow fixtures to be organised into separate groups so that the TrolMaster controller can manage those groups independently.
Each lighting group requires one LMA-G. For example, an installation divided into four separately controlled groups would require four LMA-G adapters together with the appropriate compatible TrolMaster lighting-control hardware.
ThinkGrow Model-I & Model-I Plus compatibility
The LMA-G is specifically designed for compatible ThinkGrow Model-I and Model-I Plus single-bar LED fixtures.
It forms part of the TrolMaster/ThinkGrow digital lighting-control system and works alongside the appropriate lighting-control adapter. It is not a universal 0-10V group adapter for unrelated lighting systems.
For grouping compatible lighting systems that use the conventional 0-10V control protocol, TrolMaster offers the separate LMA-14G Group Control Adapter.
Hydro-X Pro & Hydro-X Plus group control
TrolMaster's Hydro-X Pro and Hydro-X Plus controllers provide advanced group-control functionality for compatible ThinkGrow lighting installations.
Up to 10 separate groups of ThinkGrow LEDs can be configured on a compatible controller. This allows different areas of a commercial growing environment to operate with individual lighting settings while remaining part of the same central TrolMaster control system.
Group control can be particularly useful for multi-zone production areas, staggered crop cycles and installations where lighting requirements vary across different sections.
How the LMA-G connects
The LMA-G is designed to operate alongside a compatible TrolMaster lighting-control adapter. The group adapter communicates with the TrolMaster system through an RJ12 connection and interfaces with compatible ThinkGrow fixtures using the supplied ECS-9 cable.
The ECS-9 is a 12ft cable with an RJ12 connection at one end and the appropriate 4-pin ThinkGrow connector at the other.
Once connected, the LCD display on the LMA-G is used for group addressing so the controller can identify the fixtures associated with that particular lighting group.
Important compatibility information
The LMA-G is a group-control accessory. TrolMaster specifies that it must be used with a compatible lighting-control adapter to provide group-control functionality.
It does not supply mains power to the lighting fixtures and should not be treated as a lighting contactor or mains switching device. Fixtures must be powered and installed according to the ThinkGrow lighting-system requirements.
Always confirm the exact ThinkGrow fixture model and TrolMaster controller configuration before specifying adapters for a larger installation.

Unit price per
Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster LMA-15 is a specialised lighting control adapter designed to connect compatible DLI-controlled lighting fixtures to the TrolMaster Hydro-X environmental control system, enabling centralised switching and dimming through the controller.
Rather than switching the mains supply to the lighting fixtures, the LMA-15 communicates with compatible lighting equipment through its low-voltage DLI control interface. This allows the Hydro-X to manage lighting output while the fixtures remain connected to their normal electrical supply.
Once integrated into a compatible installation, the Hydro-X can control the connected lighting system according to programmed lighting schedules and output settings, bringing lighting management into the same platform used for environmental control.
The LMA-15 is intended specifically for lighting systems using the compatible DLI control protocol. Lighting-control protocols and connections vary considerably between manufacturers, so fixture compatibility should always be confirmed before installation.
Why choose the TrolMaster LMA-15?
- Hydro-X lighting integration - connects compatible DLI lighting systems to the TrolMaster Hydro-X controller.
- Centralised lighting control - manage compatible lighting alongside temperature, humidity and other environmental functions.
- Lighting output adjustment - enables compatible fixtures to respond to dimming commands from the TrolMaster controller.
- Automated lighting schedules - integrate lighting operation with programmed day and night periods.
- Low-voltage control interface - communicates with the fixture's control system rather than carrying the main lighting load.
- Purpose-built DLI adapter - designed specifically for compatible fixtures using the DLI lighting-control protocol.
- Plug-and-play TrolMaster design - provides a straightforward interface between compatible lighting equipment and the Hydro-X control network.
- Suitable for multi-fixture installations - compatible fixtures can be linked according to the lighting manufacturer's control-network requirements.
Bring lighting into the Hydro-X control system
Environmental control and lighting are closely connected. Lighting affects crop development as well as the heat load placed on the controlled environment, so incorporating lighting into the same control platform can simplify day-to-day management.
The LMA-15 acts as the communication interface between the Hydro-X and a compatible DLI lighting system. The Hydro-X provides the control commands, while the LMA-15 translates those commands into the signal required by the compatible lighting fixtures.
This allows the lighting system to form part of the wider TrolMaster environmental-control installation without requiring the controller itself to carry the electrical load of the fixtures.
Automated dimming control
When used with compatible dimmable fixtures, the LMA-15 allows lighting output to be adjusted through the TrolMaster controller rather than relying solely on manual controls fitted to individual luminaires.
This is particularly useful in installations containing multiple fixtures, where manually adjusting every luminaire can be time-consuming and can make consistent settings more difficult to maintain.
Centralised dimming also provides greater flexibility when different light-output levels are required as a crop develops.
DLI protocol vs Daily Light Integral
In the LMA-15 product name, DLI refers to the lighting control interface used by compatible fixtures. It should not be confused with Daily Light Integral, which is a horticultural measurement describing the total quantity of photosynthetically active light received over a 24-hour period.
The LMA-15 does not itself measure PAR, PPFD or Daily Light Integral. Where actual photosynthetic light measurement is required, TrolMaster's MBS-PAR Full Spectrum Quantum Sensor is designed for that purpose on compatible control systems.
Check lighting compatibility before installation
Lighting manufacturers use several different control protocols and connector arrangements. The LMA-15 should therefore only be used with fixtures specifically compatible with its DLI control interface.
Do not select a lighting adapter purely on the basis that a fixture is dimmable. A fixture may use 0-10V, PWM, RS485, DLI or another manufacturer-specific control method, and the correct TrolMaster adapter must match the lighting system.
If the lighting system uses a different control protocol, another adapter from the TrolMaster LMA range may be required.
How the LMA-15 works
The LMA-15 is installed between the compatible TrolMaster control network and the lighting system's low-voltage control connection.
The lighting fixtures continue to receive their normal mains electrical supply independently. The LMA-15 carries control information only and does not act as a mains contactor or provide operating power to the fixtures.
Where several compatible fixtures are linked together, follow the lighting manufacturer's requirements for control cabling, daisy-chaining and maximum fixture quantities.

TrolMaster LMA-15 Lighting Control Adapter FAQs
What does the TrolMaster LMA-15 do?
The LMA-15 provides an interface between a compatible TrolMaster Hydro-X controller and lighting fixtures using the supported DLI control protocol. Can the LMA-15 dim compatible lights?
Yes. When used with compatible dimmable lighting equipment, the LMA-15 allows lighting output to be controlled through the TrolMaster system. Can the Hydro-X automatically switch the lights on and off?
Yes. Compatible lighting can be operated according to lighting schedules configured through the TrolMaster control system. Does DLI mean Daily Light Integral on the LMA-15?
No. In the context of the LMA-15, DLI identifies the compatible lighting control interface. The adapter does not itself measure Daily Light Integral. Does the LMA-15 measure PAR or PPFD?
No. It is a lighting control adapter rather than a light sensor. PAR and PPFD measurement requires a compatible quantum sensor such as the TrolMaster MBS-PAR. Will the LMA-15 work with any dimmable LED fixture?
No. Dimmable lighting systems can use different communication protocols. The fixture must be compatible with the control interface supported by the LMA-15. Can I use the LMA-15 with a 0-10V light?
Not simply because the fixture is dimmable. TrolMaster produces different LMA adapters for different lighting protocols, so the correct adapter should be selected for the specific fixture. Does the LMA-15 power the lighting fixtures?
No. The lighting fixtures retain their normal mains electrical supply. The LMA-15 handles the low-voltage control signal used to manage compatible fixtures. Does the LMA-15 replace a lighting contactor?
No. It is a control-interface adapter and does not carry the mains electrical load of the connected lighting system. Can multiple compatible lights be controlled together?
Yes, where the lighting system supports linking multiple fixtures through its control network. Always follow the fixture manufacturer's requirements for control cabling and maximum connected fixture quantities. Why use centralised lighting control?
Centralised control allows compatible fixtures to follow common schedules and output settings without manually adjusting each individual luminaire, making larger installations easier to manage consistently. Can lighting output be changed as the crop develops?
Yes. Compatible dimmable lighting can be operated at different output levels through the TrolMaster system, allowing lighting intensity to be adjusted as requirements change. How do I know whether my light needs an LMA-15?
Check the lighting manufacturer's control protocol and TrolMaster's compatibility information for the specific fixture model. The correct LMA adapter is determined by the control interface used by the lighting system.

Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster LMA-11 Lighting Control Adapter P is designed to connect compatible Phantom lighting ballasts to the TrolMaster Hydro-X environmental control system, allowing centralised lighting control from the Hydro-X controller.
The LMA-11 acts as the communication interface between the TrolMaster controller and compatible Phantom ballasts. Once installed, the Hydro-X can manage the lighting system's operating schedule and compatible output settings without having to switch the full mains load of the lighting equipment through the controller itself.
This makes the LMA-11 particularly useful in larger controlled-environment installations where several compatible Phantom ballasts need to operate together from one central lighting-control system.
The LMA-11 is a model-specific lighting adapter. It should only be specified for compatible Phantom lighting equipment using the appropriate control interface, rather than being treated as a universal ballast or LED controller.
Why choose the TrolMaster LMA-11?
- Designed for compatible Phantom ballasts - provides the correct interface between supported Phantom lighting equipment and TrolMaster control systems.
- Hydro-X lighting integration - brings compatible lighting into the same central control platform used for environmental management.
- Automated lighting schedules - operate compatible lighting according to programmed day and night periods.
- Compatible output control - allows supported ballast output levels to be managed through the TrolMaster system.
- Centralised control - simplifies management of multi-light installations by removing the need to adjust every ballast individually.
- Low-voltage control interface - communicates with compatible lighting equipment without carrying the fixtures' mains electrical load.
- Expandable lighting system - multiple compatible ballasts can be incorporated according to the ballast manufacturer's control-network requirements.
- Purpose-built TrolMaster adapter - eliminates the need to improvise connections between incompatible control protocols.
Centralised Phantom ballast control
Individually controlling a large number of lighting ballasts can quickly become impractical. The LMA-11 allows compatible Phantom ballasts to become part of the TrolMaster lighting-control network so that lighting operation can be managed centrally.
The TrolMaster controller determines when the lighting system should operate and sends the appropriate control signal through the LMA-11 to the compatible ballasts.
This provides a cleaner approach to lighting automation while allowing the ballasts to retain their normal electrical supply.
Lighting output control
Where supported by the connected Phantom ballast, the LMA-11 allows compatible lighting output settings to be controlled through the TrolMaster system.
Central output control is useful where light intensity needs to be adjusted as the crop develops or where a large bank of fixtures needs to operate consistently at the same setting.
Actual available output levels depend on the compatible ballast being controlled, so the ballast manufacturer's specifications should always be checked when designing the lighting system.
How the LMA-11 works
The LMA-11 sits between the compatible TrolMaster controller and the Phantom ballast control network. It converts the lighting-control command from the TrolMaster system into the appropriate signal required by the compatible ballast.
The LMA-11 does not supply mains power to the ballast. The ballast and lighting equipment remain connected to their normal electrical supply, while the LMA-11 handles the low-voltage control communication.
Where several compatible ballasts are linked together, follow the lighting manufacturer's instructions for control cabling, daisy-chaining and maximum supported ballast quantities.
Important ballast compatibility
TrolMaster manufactures a range of LMA lighting adapters because different ballast and lighting manufacturers use different control protocols.
The LMA-11 is the "P" lighting adapter intended for compatible Phantom ballasts. It should not be assumed to work with another brand simply because that ballast is externally controllable or dimmable.
Always confirm the exact ballast model and its compatibility with the LMA-11 before installation. Other lighting brands and control protocols may require a different TrolMaster LMA adapter.

The TrolMaster HS-1 Humidistat Station allows the Hydro-X environmental control system to directly control compatible commercial dehumidifiers equipped with a 24V low-voltage humidistat connection.
Many larger commercial dehumidifiers provide low-voltage terminals that allow an external humidistat to control the unit. The HS-1 connects to these terminals in the same way as a conventional external humidistat, while allowing humidity control to be managed centrally by the TrolMaster Hydro-X.
This approach avoids switching the dehumidifier's high mains current through a plug-in control module. Instead, the HS-1 uses the dehumidifier's dedicated 24V control circuit, making it particularly suitable for high-capacity commercial dehumidification equipment with substantial running and inrush current.
Separate day and night humidity targets can be configured through the Hydro-X. The HS-1 then operates the connected dehumidifier according to the required humidity setpoint.
Why choose the TrolMaster HS-1?
- Designed for commercial dehumidifiers - controls compatible units equipped with a 24V external humidistat terminal.
- Avoids high-current mains switching - uses the dehumidifier's low-voltage control circuit rather than switching its main electrical load.
- Hydro-X integration - brings commercial dehumidification directly into the TrolMaster environmental control system.
- Automatic humidity control - activates the connected dehumidifier when humidity rises above the configured setpoint.
- Separate day & night settings - allows different humidity targets to be used during light and dark periods.
- Built-in LCD display - displays the humidity setpoint and current measured relative humidity.
- Addressable device - integrates into the Hydro-X device network using TrolMaster's addressing system.
- Plug-and-play Hydro-X connection - supplied with RJ12 cables and T-Splitter for integration with the controller.
- Firmware upgradeable - built-in Micro-SD facility allows compatible firmware updates.
How the HS-1 controls a dehumidifier
A compatible commercial dehumidifier has a low-voltage control terminal designed for connection to an external humidistat. The HS-1 is wired to this control connection and effectively replaces the conventional stand-alone humidistat.
The HS-1 is then connected to the Hydro-X through the controller's device network. Humidity settings are configured through the Hydro-X rather than independently at the dehumidifier.
When the current measured relative humidity rises above the selected setpoint, the HS-1 signals the connected dehumidifier to operate. Once humidity has been reduced to the required level, the system stops calling for dehumidification.
Local LCD humidity display
The HS-1 has its own LCD display, providing useful information directly beside the dehumidifier.
TrolMaster configures the display to show the humidity setpoint in the upper section and the current relative humidity in the lower section. This allows the operating condition to be checked locally without returning to the main Hydro-X controller.
Ideal for high-capacity commercial dehumidifiers
Large dehumidifiers can draw significant current, particularly when compressors start. This can make direct mains switching unsuitable for some conventional environmental-control modules.
The HS-1 avoids that issue by using the dehumidifier's own low-voltage external control connection. The HS-1 is therefore not carrying the compressor's mains electrical load.
This is the key difference between the HS-1 and a plug-in TrolMaster DSH humidity device station. A DSH module switches mains power to a connected humidifier or dehumidifier, while the HS-1 operates the dedicated 24V humidistat terminals provided on compatible commercial dehumidifiers.
24V dehumidifier compatibility
The HS-1 is designed for commercial dehumidifiers that provide a compatible 24V external humidistat terminal.
TrolMaster publishes connection information for commercial dehumidification equipment including compatible Quest and Anden systems, but compatibility should always be confirmed against the exact dehumidifier model before wiring.
A dehumidifier that only provides a mains plug and does not have a compatible low-voltage external humidistat connection will normally require a different TrolMaster control method.
Installation & connection
The HS-1 can be wall or surface mounted near the dehumidifier using its removable mounting bracket. The dehumidifier's low-voltage control wiring is connected to the appropriate terminals on the HS-1.
The HS-1 then connects to the Hydro-X device network using the supplied RJ12 cabling. Once connected, the addressing button is used to assign the HS-1 to the controller.
Because terminal functions and wiring arrangements can vary between dehumidifier manufacturers and models, the TrolMaster wiring diagram and the dehumidifier manufacturer's instructions should be followed during installation.
The HS-1 is designed for indoor use and should be protected from water, excessive heat and condensation.

TrolMaster HS-1 Humidistat Station FAQs
What does the TrolMaster HS-1 do?
The HS-1 allows a Hydro-X controller to operate a compatible commercial dehumidifier through its 24V external humidistat connection. What type of dehumidifier is the HS-1 designed for?
It is intended for larger commercial dehumidifiers equipped with a compatible 24V low-voltage terminal for an external humidistat. Does the HS-1 switch the mains power to the dehumidifier?
No. The HS-1 uses the dehumidifier's low-voltage humidistat control circuit rather than switching the high-current mains supply to the compressor. Why is low-voltage control useful for commercial dehumidifiers?
Large dehumidifiers can have substantial running and compressor inrush current. Using their dedicated low-voltage control connection avoids passing that mains load through an external plug-in switching module. Can the HS-1 control humidity automatically?
Yes. When measured humidity rises above the configured setpoint, the HS-1 calls for dehumidification. The connected dehumidifier then operates to bring humidity back towards the target. Can I use different humidity settings during the day and night?
Yes. The Hydro-X supports separate day and night humidity settings, allowing the HS-1 to control the dehumidifier against different targets during each period. What does the HS-1 display show?
The LCD displays the selected humidity setpoint in the upper section and the current measured relative humidity in the lower section. Will the HS-1 work with every dehumidifier?
No. The dehumidifier must provide a compatible 24V external humidistat connection. Always confirm compatibility with the exact dehumidifier model before installation. Can the HS-1 control Quest commercial dehumidifiers?
TrolMaster provides HS-1 wiring guidance for compatible Quest dehumidifiers. The exact model and terminal arrangement should still be checked before connection. Can the HS-1 control Anden dehumidifiers?
TrolMaster also publishes HS-1 connection guidance for compatible Anden dehumidifiers. Confirm the requirements of the specific model before installation. What is the difference between the HS-1 and DSH-1?
The HS-1 controls compatible commercial dehumidifiers through their 24V low-voltage humidistat terminals. The DSH-1 is a mains-powered device station that switches power to compatible plug-in humidification or dehumidification equipment. How does the HS-1 connect to Hydro-X?

The TrolMaster EFC-1 EC Fan Control Adapter provides variable-speed control of compatible electronically commutated fans using either PWM or 0-10V control signals, allowing ventilation to be integrated into compatible TrolMaster control systems.
Modern EC fans are designed to vary their speed through a low-voltage control signal rather than by reducing their mains supply voltage. The EFC-1 provides the interface between the TrolMaster controller and this variable-speed input, allowing fan output to be automatically adjusted as ventilation requirements change.
The EFC-1 can be configured for either PWM or 0-10V operation, making it suitable for a wide range of compatible EC ventilation fans. The fan retains its normal electrical supply while the EFC-1 manages the separate low-voltage speed-control signal.
On the TrolMaster Tent-X TCS-1, two EFC-1 adapters can be used, providing separate control of an exhaust fan and an intake fan. The EFC-1 is also supported by TrolMaster's Green-X GCS-1 greenhouse control system, where up to four standard EC fans can be independently connected through EFC-1 adapters.
Why choose the TrolMaster EFC-1?
- Variable EC fan control - automatically adjusts the speed of compatible electronically commutated ventilation fans.
- PWM & 0-10V compatibility - select the appropriate output mode to match the control input of the connected EC fan.
- Automatic ventilation management - allows fan output to respond to the settings configured within the compatible TrolMaster controller.
- Separate intake & extraction control - Tent-X supports one EFC-1 for exhaust and another for intake ventilation.
- Green-X compatible - the GCS-1 can independently control up to four standard EC fans using four EFC-1 adapters.
- Low-voltage speed control - controls the fan through its dedicated EC control input rather than regulating its mains supply.
- LCD display - provides local information and assists with setup and addressing.
- Addressable module - integrates into the TrolMaster device network as a dedicated fan-control interface.
- Plug-and-play design - designed for straightforward connection between compatible TrolMaster controllers and EC fans.
- RJ12 connection cable included - supplied with an RJ12-to-female-barrel connection cable.
What is an EC fan?
An EC fan uses an electronically commutated motor with integrated electronics to control motor operation. Many EC ventilation fans include a dedicated low-voltage speed-control connection that accepts either a 0-10V or PWM signal.
This allows fan speed to be varied electronically without repeatedly switching the fan's mains supply or using a conventional AC voltage-reducing speed controller.
The EFC-1 takes advantage of this control input, allowing a compatible TrolMaster system to request the fan speed required for the current environmental conditions.
PWM & 0-10V fan control
EC fan manufacturers use different low-voltage control methods. The EFC-1 supports the two common control types used by standard EC ventilation fans:
0-10V control
With a compatible 0-10V EC fan, the EFC-1 varies the analogue control voltage sent to the fan. The fan's electronics interpret that signal and adjust motor speed accordingly.
PWM control
For compatible PWM-controlled fans, the EFC-1 provides a pulse-width modulation control signal. The adapter must be configured for the appropriate mode to match the fan being connected.
Always confirm whether the fan requires PWM or 0-10V control before configuration. The fact that a fan uses an EC motor does not automatically confirm its control protocol or connector arrangement.
Intake & extraction control with Tent-X
The TrolMaster Tent-X TCS-1 supports up to two EFC-1 EC Fan Control Adapters. These are automatically assigned to the two dedicated ventilation functions:
| F1 | Exhaust / extraction fan |
|---|---|
| F2 | Intake fan |
Each ventilation line requires its own EFC-1. This allows intake and extraction airflow to be controlled separately rather than operating both fans from a single speed signal.
By varying fan speed rather than simply switching ventilation fully on or off, a compatible control system can provide smoother and more responsive airflow management.
Green-X EC fan control
The EFC-1 is also supported by the TrolMaster Green-X GCS-1 greenhouse controller. The GCS-1 can control up to four standard EC fans, with each fan connected through its own EFC-1 adapter.
This makes the adapter suitable for larger controlled horticultural environments where several independently managed ventilation fans are required.
TrolMaster Aero-Fan models use their own direct communication method and do not require an EFC-1 when connected to a compatible Green-X controller.
How the EFC-1 connects
The EFC-1 connects to the compatible TrolMaster controller through the controller's device network. The opposite side of the adapter connects to the compatible EC fan's low-voltage speed-control input.
A fan's main electrical supply remains separate. The EFC-1 is a control-signal adapter and does not provide mains operating power to the fan.
The EFC-1 package includes an RJ12-to-female-barrel cable. The exact connection required at the fan depends on the fan manufacturer's control interface, so its wiring and control specifications should be checked before installation.
Check EC fan compatibility
The EFC-1 is designed for standard variable-speed EC fans that accept a compatible PWM or 0-10V low-voltage control signal.
It is not a universal speed controller for conventional AC induction fans. Fans designed to have their mains voltage varied require a different type of controller.
Before installation, confirm the fan's control protocol, control-voltage requirements and connector or terminal arrangement. Where necessary, refer to the fan manufacturer's wiring information before making the control connection.

TrolMaster EFC-1 EC Fan Control Adapter FAQs
What does the TrolMaster EFC-1 do?
The EFC-1 allows a compatible TrolMaster controller to vary the speed of a standard EC ventilation fan using either a PWM or 0-10V control signal. What types of fan control does the EFC-1 support?
The EFC-1 supports compatible EC fans using PWM or 0-10V variable-speed control. The appropriate mode is selected to suit the connected fan. Can the EFC-1 control any EC fan?
No. The fan must provide a compatible PWM or 0-10V low-voltage speed-control input. Always check the specifications of the exact fan before installation. Can the EFC-1 control a normal AC fan?
Not if the fan requires its mains supply voltage or frequency to be varied for speed control. The EFC-1 is intended for EC fans with a compatible low-voltage control input. Does the EFC-1 power the fan?
No. The EC fan retains its normal electrical supply. The EFC-1 controls the separate low-voltage signal that tells the fan's integrated electronics what speed to operate at. What is 0-10V EC fan control?
A compatible EC fan interprets a variable low-voltage analogue signal to determine its required speed. The EFC-1 generates the appropriate control signal under instruction from the TrolMaster controller. What is PWM fan control?
PWM stands for pulse-width modulation. A compatible fan uses the characteristics of a pulsed control signal to determine the requested operating speed. Can the Tent-X control both intake and extraction fans?
Yes. The Tent-X TCS-1 supports up to two EFC-1 adapters. One is assigned as F1 for the exhaust fan and the second as F2 for the intake fan. Do I need two EFC-1 adapters for intake and extraction?
Yes. Each independently controlled standard EC fan line requires its own EFC-1, so separate intake and exhaust control requires two adapters. Can the EFC-1 be used with Green-X?
Yes. The Green-X GCS-1 supports up to four EFC-1 adapters, allowing up to four standard compatible EC fans to be independently controlled. Do TrolMaster Aero-Fans require an EFC-1?
Not when they are being used with a compatible controller that supports direct Aero-Fan communication. For example, the Green-X GCS-1 can communicate directly with Aero-Fans without an EFC-1 adapter. Why use variable-speed ventilation instead of simple on/off control?
Variable-speed control allows airflow to be adjusted to suit current requirements instead of repeatedly operating the fan at full output. This provides more flexible ventilation management when used with a compatible control system. What cable is supplied with the EFC-1?
TrolMaster supplies the EFC-1 with an RJ12-to-female-barrel connection cable. The connection required at the fan itself depends on the specific fan model. How do I know whether my fan uses PWM or 0-10V?
Check the fan manufacturer's technical specifications or wiring diagram. The EFC-1 must be configured to match the control method required by the connected fan.

Turn standard electrical equipment into a programmable device
The DSP-2U is designed for equipment that needs to operate according to time rather than an environmental measurement such as temperature, humidity or CO2.
Once the station has been connected and addressed, the compatible TrolMaster controller determines when the output should be energised. The DSP-2U then supplies mains power to the connected equipment during those programmed periods.
This makes it useful for equipment such as suitable irrigation pumps, electrically operated valves and other devices where automatic scheduled operation is required.
Suitable applications
The DSP-2U can be used with suitable 230-240V equipment provided the connected load remains within the station's electrical rating and is appropriate for switched operation.
- Irrigation pumps within the permitted electrical load
- Compatible mains-powered irrigation valves
- Circulation equipment requiring timed operation
- Suitable dosing or transfer equipment operated by schedule
- Other compatible electrical equipment requiring programmable on/off control
The DSP-2U is an on/off power controller. It does not provide variable-speed control, variable-voltage control or proportional output.
LED status & manual override
The DSP-2 uses its LED indicator to provide immediate information about the station's operating condition.
| Fast flashing green | The station has not yet been addressed to the controller or communication with the controller has been lost. |
|---|---|
| Slow flashing green | The station is addressed and communicating correctly, but its switched output is currently off. |
| Solid green | The station is addressed, connected and its switched output is currently on. |
| Flashing red | The station has detected an overload condition. Disconnect power and investigate the connected load before resetting the station. |
Pressing and holding the station's button provides a manual on/off override, useful during setup, maintenance and equipment testing.
TrolMaster system compatibility
The DSP-2 Program Device Station is used across several TrolMaster control platforms, although the number of programmable outputs and available scheduling functions depend on the controller being used.
| Hydro-X | Compatible as a programmable timer-controlled device station. |
|---|---|
| Aqua-X | Compatible for timed irrigation equipment and other suitable scheduled devices. Program Device Stations can form part of the Aqua-X control-output network. |
| Green-X | Compatible. Green-X provides two dedicated program/timer device positions, while DSP-1/2 modules can also be used for timer-based irrigation control. |
Always configure the DSP-2U according to the instructions for the specific TrolMaster controller being used, as scheduling options and device capacities vary between systems.
10A switched output
The DSP-2 platform is rated for an output current of up to 10A. The connected equipment must remain within the electrical limits of the station.
Particular care should be taken with equipment containing motors, compressors or other inductive loads because starting current can be substantially higher than the normal running current shown on the equipment rating plate.
Where a device exceeds the DSP-2U's permitted load or has a high starting current, an appropriately specified external contactor or relay arrangement may be required instead of switching the equipment directly through the station.
Plug-and-play installation
Connect the DSP-2U to the appropriate device-control connection on the compatible TrolMaster controller using the supplied RJ12 cable and T-Splitter arrangement.
Once connected, press the addressing button to allow the controller to identify and assign the Program Device Station. The equipment to be controlled can then be connected to the DSP-2U's UK Type G output socket.
After addressing, configure the required program or irrigation schedule through the connected controller. Installation and electrical loading must comply with applicable electrical regulations and the requirements of the connected equipment.

Unit price per
Please sign in to see pricing
The TrolMaster DCC-1 Dual Condition Adapter is designed for the Hydro-X environmental control system and allows a single connected device to be controlled by more than one environmental condition.
Standard Hydro-X Device Stations normally operate according to one environmental parameter, such as temperature or humidity. The DCC-1 adds another layer of control by combining two selected conditions, allowing equipment to operate only when the required combination of environmental conditions has been met.
This is particularly useful for equipment that influences more than one aspect of the controlled environment. Ventilation is a good example: an extraction fan can affect both temperature and humidity, so controlling it from a combination of these parameters can provide more intelligent operation than responding to either measurement alone.
The DCC-1 can be configured to work in AND or OR mode, giving the installer control over how the two environmental conditions interact before the connected device is activated.
Why choose the TrolMaster DCC-1?
- Dual-condition environmental control - allows equipment to respond to two environmental parameters instead of only one.
- AND logic - configure equipment to operate only when both selected conditions require activation.
- OR logic - configure equipment to operate when either selected condition requires activation.
- Four selectable conditions - works with temperature, humidity, CO2 and program/timer control functions.
- Ideal for multifunction equipment - useful where one device influences more than one environmental parameter.
- Useful for ventilation control - allows extraction equipment to respond intelligently to combinations of temperature and humidity.
- Hydro-X integration - designed specifically to expand the control capabilities of the TrolMaster Hydro-X system.
- Works with Device Stations - used in conjunction with the appropriate TrolMaster Device Station for the equipment being controlled.
- Simple mode selection - onboard controls allow the required conditions and AND/OR logic to be selected.
- Low-voltage control accessory - the DCC-1 handles control logic rather than directly carrying the mains electrical load of the connected equipment.
AND or OR environmental control
The key feature of the DCC-1 is its ability to determine whether a connected device should operate according to two separate control conditions.
AND mode
In AND mode, both selected conditions must be calling for the equipment to operate before the DCC-1 activates the connected Device Station.
For example, if temperature and humidity are selected, an extraction device could be configured to operate only when the temperature is too high and the humidity is also above its target.
OR mode
In OR mode, either selected condition can call for the equipment to operate.
Using the same temperature and humidity example, the extraction equipment could operate when the temperature becomes too high or when humidity rises above its target.
This gives the installer much greater flexibility when deciding exactly how multifunction environmental equipment should respond.
Four selectable control conditions
The DCC-1 provides four control-condition selections that correspond with key Hydro-X control functions.
| Temperature | Allows the connected equipment to respond to the Hydro-X temperature-control condition. |
|---|---|
| Humidity | Allows operation to be linked to the Hydro-X relative-humidity control condition. |
| CO2 | Allows the device to respond to the controller's CO2 control condition where appropriate. |
| Program | Allows a programmed or timer-based condition to form part of the dual-control logic. |
Two of these conditions are selected and the DCC-1 then applies either AND or OR logic to determine when the connected equipment should operate.
Example: temperature & humidity ventilation control
Ventilation equipment can have a major influence on both air temperature and relative humidity. A standard single-condition controller may operate an extraction fan according to only one of those parameters.
The DCC-1 allows both conditions to be considered.
Temperature AND humidity
The extraction equipment operates only when both temperature and humidity have reached the conditions configured to call for ventilation. This can reduce unnecessary operation where only one parameter has moved away from its target.
Temperature OR humidity
The extraction equipment can operate as soon as either temperature or humidity reaches its configured control point. This can be useful where ventilation is required to correct either environmental condition independently.
The appropriate configuration depends on the environmental strategy and the equipment being controlled.
Designed to work with TrolMaster Device Stations
The DCC-1 is a control-logic adapter rather than a mains switching device. It is installed between the Hydro-X control system and the appropriate TrolMaster Device Station.
The Device Station then performs the actual equipment switching. This means the correct Device Station still needs to be selected for the electrical equipment and application.
For example, a suitable TrolMaster temperature, humidity or programme Device Station may be used depending on the equipment being controlled and the required installation.
Always check the electrical rating of the Device Station against the connected equipment. Motors, compressors and other inductive loads can have a starting current considerably higher than their normal running current.
Simple Hydro-X integration
The DCC-1 connects into the Hydro-X control network and provides selectable inputs for the environmental conditions that will form the dual-control rule.
Once the two required conditions have been selected, the DCC-1 is set to either AND or OR operation. The output is then connected to the appropriate TrolMaster Device Station controlling the equipment.
Because the DCC-1 deals with control logic rather than directly powering the environmental equipment, the electrical requirements of the connected load are determined by the Device Station or switching equipment used with it.

TrolMaster DCC-1 Dual Condition Adapter FAQs
What does the TrolMaster DCC-1 do?
The DCC-1 allows one compatible Hydro-X controlled device to respond to two different control conditions rather than being controlled by a single environmental parameter. What conditions can the DCC-1 use?
The DCC-1 provides selections for temperature, humidity, CO2 and program/timer control. Two conditions are selected for the required application. What does AND mode mean?
AND mode means both selected conditions must be calling for operation before the connected Device Station is activated. What does OR mode mean?
OR mode means either of the two selected conditions can activate the connected Device Station. Can I control a fan using both temperature and humidity?
Yes. This is a useful application for the DCC-1 because ventilation can influence both temperature and relative humidity. What is the difference between temperature AND humidity and temperature OR humidity?
With AND selected, both temperature and humidity conditions must call for operation. With OR selected, either condition can call for the connected equipment to operate. Does the DCC-1 switch mains equipment directly?
No. The DCC-1 handles the control logic. The connected equipment is switched through the appropriate compatible TrolMaster Device Station. Do I still need a Device Station?
Yes. The DCC-1 is used with a compatible TrolMaster Device Station, which performs the actual switching of the connected equipment. Can the DCC-1 vary fan speed?
No. The DCC-1 provides dual-condition control logic. Variable-speed EC fan control requires the appropriate TrolMaster fan-control hardware, such as an EFC-1 where compatible. Can the DCC-1 be used for CO2 control?
CO2 is one of the available control-condition selections, allowing it to be combined with another supported condition where appropriate for the equipment and control strategy. Can a timer be one of the two conditions?
Yes. Program/timer control is one of the selectable conditions, allowing equipment operation to depend on both a programmed period and another environmental condition. Why use dual-condition control?
Some environmental equipment affects several parameters at the same time. Dual-condition logic allows the system to consider two factors before deciding whether that equipment should operate. Is the DCC-1 useful for commercial environmental control?
Yes. It can provide more precise control logic in installations where equipment such as ventilation influences multiple environmental parameters and simple single-condition switching is not sufficient. Does the DCC-1 measure temperature, humidity or CO2 itself?
No. The DCC-1 does not replace the Hydro-X environmental sensors. It uses the control conditions generated by the Hydro-X system to determine when the connected Device Station should operate.

The TrolMaster BETA-6 is a stand-alone 240V digital humidity controller designed to automatically operate a compatible humidifier or dehumidifier while providing separate humidity settings for day and night conditions.
Designed for straightforward environmental humidity management, the BETA-6 combines a digital controller, remote humidity sensor, automatic day/night detection and switched equipment output in one compact system.
Simply connect a suitable humidifier or dehumidifier to the controller, position the remote sensor within the growing environment and select the required humidity settings. The BETA-6 then automatically switches the connected equipment to maintain the selected relative humidity.
Separate day and night humidity targets can be programmed from 20-90% RH. The controller automatically changes between these settings according to the light condition detected by its photocell, making it particularly useful where humidity requirements or environmental behaviour differ between illuminated and dark periods.
Why choose the TrolMaster BETA-6?
- UK 240V version - suitable for compatible equipment used on UK 230-240V electrical supplies.
- Humidifier & dehumidifier control - configure the controller for either increasing or reducing relative humidity.
- Separate day & night settings - maintain different humidity targets during illuminated and dark periods.
- Automatic day/night detection - integrated photocell detection removes the need for a separate timer to change between humidity settings.
- 20-90% RH adjustment - provides a wide humidity-control range for different crops, stages and controlled environments.
- Remote humidity sensor - supplied with a 16ft sensor lead for flexible positioning within the crop environment.
- Digital display - clearly shows humidity information and simplifies controller setup.
- 5% RH deadband - helps prevent rapid on/off cycling around the selected humidity setpoint.
- Direct equipment control - switches compatible mains-powered humidity-control equipment automatically.
- Stand-alone operation - does not require a Hydro-X or other TrolMaster master controller.
- Simple environmental automation - ideal where dedicated humidity control is required without installing a complete environmental-control system.
Automatic humidifier & dehumidifier control
The BETA-6 can be configured according to whether the connected equipment is intended to add or remove moisture from the air.
Humidifying mode
When used with a compatible humidifier, the BETA-6 monitors the surrounding relative humidity and switches the equipment on when additional moisture is required.
Once humidity has risen sufficiently relative to the programmed target and controller deadband, the humidifier is switched off again.
Dehumidifying mode
When used with a compatible dehumidifier, the control logic is reversed. The BETA-6 activates the equipment when relative humidity rises above the required level and switches it off again once humidity has been reduced.
This dual functionality means the same controller can be used for either humidification or dehumidification applications.
Independent day & night humidity settings
Humidity behaviour often changes substantially between the illuminated and dark periods. As air temperature falls after the lighting period ends, relative humidity can increase rapidly, even without a major increase in the actual amount of moisture present in the air.
The BETA-6 allows separate humidity targets to be programmed for the day and night periods, giving the controller greater flexibility than a conventional single-setpoint humidistat.
Its photocell automatically identifies the light condition and selects the corresponding humidity setting. There is no need to manually change the controller twice a day or synchronise it with a separate timer.
16ft remote humidity sensor
The BETA-6 is supplied with a precision remote humidity sensor on a 16ft cable. This allows the sensing point to be positioned where environmental conditions are representative of the crop rather than immediately beside the controller.
Correct sensor positioning is important. Place it in a well-ventilated location around crop level while avoiding direct airflow from humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters, circulation fans, intake points or extraction systems.
The sensor should also be kept away from wet surfaces, direct spray and areas where condensation can form.
Stable control with a 5% RH deadband
The BETA-6 uses a 5% relative-humidity deadband around its control point. Deadband is important because environmental humidity naturally fluctuates and equipment should not repeatedly switch on and off every time the reading moves fractionally around the target.
By allowing a controlled differential between the switch-on and switch-off conditions, the BETA-6 provides more stable operation and helps reduce unnecessary rapid cycling of the connected equipment.
Suitable for controlled horticultural environments
The BETA-6 provides a straightforward solution wherever relative humidity needs to be automatically maintained without the complexity of a complete multi-device environmental controller.
- Propagation and young-plant areas
- Nursery environments
- Indoor growing areas
- Controlled-environment horticulture
- Humidity-sensitive crop production
- Areas requiring automatic dehumidification during dark periods
- Stand-alone environmental rooms requiring dedicated humidity control
UK 240V electrical version
This is the 240V version of the TrolMaster BETA-6 intended for UK electrical installations.
The BETA-6 uses a relay-switched output and is fitted with a 10A / 250V fuse. Always check the electrical requirements of the humidifier or dehumidifier before connecting it to the controller.
Particular care is required with dehumidifiers and other equipment containing compressors or motors. Their startup current can be considerably higher than the normal running current shown on the rating plate.
Equipment must remain within the controller's permitted electrical load. Where a device has a high starting current or exceeds the controller's switching capability, an appropriately rated external switching solution should be used instead.

TrolMaster BETA-6 Humidity Controller FAQs
Is this the UK version of the TrolMaster BETA-6?
Yes. This listing is for the 240V version intended for use with compatible UK electrical equipment and supplies. What does the TrolMaster BETA-6 do?
The BETA-6 monitors relative humidity and automatically switches a compatible humidifier or dehumidifier to help maintain the programmed humidity target. Can the BETA-6 control both humidifiers and dehumidifiers?
Yes. The BETA-6 can be configured for either humidifying or dehumidifying operation, depending on the equipment connected. Does the BETA-6 have separate day and night humidity settings?
Yes. Different humidity targets can be programmed for the illuminated and dark periods. How does the BETA-6 detect day and night?
A photocell detects the surrounding light condition, allowing the controller to automatically change between its programmed day and night humidity settings. What humidity range can be set?
The BETA-6 provides an adjustable humidity range from 20-90% RH. What is the humidity deadband?
The BETA-6 uses a 5% RH deadband. This provides a differential between switching conditions to prevent connected equipment rapidly cycling on and off around the selected humidity target. How long is the remote sensor cable?
The supplied remote humidity sensor has a 16ft cable, equivalent to approximately 4.9 metres. Where should I position the BETA-6 humidity sensor?
Position the sensor in a representative, well-ventilated area around crop level. Avoid direct airflow from humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters, intake or extraction equipment, and keep the sensor away from water spray and condensation. Does the BETA-6 need a Hydro-X controller?
No. The BETA-6 is a stand-alone humidity controller with its own sensor, display, settings and switched equipment output. Can a humidifier be connected directly to the BETA-6?
Yes, provided the humidifier is electrically compatible with the UK 240V BETA-6 and remains within the controller's permitted electrical load. Can a dehumidifier be connected directly to the BETA-6?
A compatible dehumidifier can be controlled directly provided its electrical characteristics are suitable. Compressor startup current should be checked carefully because it can be considerably higher than normal running current. What happens in humidifying mode?
The BETA-6 activates the connected humidifier when the measured relative humidity indicates that additional moisture is required to maintain the selected target. What happens in dehumidifying mode?
The BETA-6 activates the connected dehumidifier when relative humidity rises sufficiently above the programmed target, then switches it off again as humidity is reduced. Why use different humidity settings during the day and night?
Temperature and relative humidity often change significantly when lighting switches on or off. Independent day and night settings allow humidity management to be adapted to those changing environmental conditions.

The K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan combines powerful 3200m³/h airflow with an acoustically treated cylindrical housing and energy-efficient EC fan technology, providing high-capacity ventilation with reduced operating noise.
Designed for demanding extraction and air-movement applications, this larger K-Line+ model delivers a maximum airflow of 3200m³/h through a 12.5" duct connection. It is particularly well suited to larger controlled horticultural environments where substantial airflow is required but fan noise needs to be kept under control.
Unlike a conventional inline fan installed inside a separate silencer, the K-Line+ combines the fan and acoustic treatment within one compact cylindrical assembly. This helps reduce the amount of additional ventilation equipment required while keeping installation straightforward.
At the centre of the unit is an electronically commutated EC fan. EC technology combines efficient motor operation with variable-speed capability, allowing airflow to be matched more closely to the requirements of the ventilation system rather than continually operating at maximum output.
Why choose the K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan?
- 3200m³/h maximum airflow - high-capacity ventilation for larger extraction and air-movement systems.
- 12.5" duct connection - designed for large-diameter ventilation systems where high airflow is required.
- Silenced construction - acoustic treatment is incorporated around the fan assembly to reduce transmitted operating noise.
- EC fan technology - electronically commutated motor design provides efficient, controllable airflow.
- Variable-speed capability - EC technology allows ventilation output to be adjusted when used with an appropriate compatible control method.
- Compact cylindrical design - combines high-output ventilation and noise reduction within a single inline unit.
- Straight-through airflow - installs directly into a compatible circular duct run.
- Suitable for extraction or air movement - can form part of intake, extraction and filtered ventilation systems when correctly specified.
- Ideal for larger environments - the 3200m³/h capacity makes this the higher-output option within the commonly available K-Line+ Silent EC Fan range.
- 12 units per pallet - useful for trade, project and commercial purchasing.
High airflow without a conventional bare fan housing
High-capacity ventilation fans can generate noise from several sources, including the motor, impeller, moving air and vibration transferred into the connected ductwork.
The K-Line+ is designed specifically as a silenced inline fan. The fan assembly sits within the larger cylindrical acoustic housing rather than using the compact exposed casing typically found on a conventional inline fan.
This construction helps reduce fan noise at source while maintaining a straight-through ventilation path. For installations where noise control is important, it can be combined with acoustic ducting, vibration-isolating connectors and correctly supported duct runs to further reduce noise transmission through the ventilation system.
As with any high-output ventilation fan, the K-Line+ should not be considered completely silent. Airflow noise will still depend on fan speed, duct diameter, restrictions and the design of the complete ventilation system.
Efficient EC fan technology
EC stands for electronically commutated. An EC fan uses integrated electronic motor control rather than the simpler motor technology found in many traditional AC ventilation fans.
One of the major advantages is efficient variable-speed operation. Instead of treating the fan simply as an on/off device, a compatible control system can reduce airflow when full extraction capacity is unnecessary and increase it as ventilation demand rises.
This makes EC ventilation particularly useful in controlled environments where airflow requirements change with temperature, humidity, lighting load, crop development and seasonal conditions.
3200m³/h maximum airflow
With a rated maximum airflow of 3200 cubic metres per hour, this 12.5" K-Line+ is intended for applications requiring substantial air exchange.
The quoted figure represents the fan's maximum nominal airflow. Actual airflow through an installed ventilation system will normally be lower because every component introduces resistance.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends, reducers, silencers, intake restrictions and compressed flexible ducting can all reduce the volume of air delivered by the complete system.
When specifying ventilation, the fan should therefore be selected according to the resistance and required operating airflow of the complete installation rather than simply matching the room volume to the fan's maximum free-air rating.
12.5" high-capacity duct connection
The K-Line+ 3200m³/h model is designed around a 12.5" nominal duct connection, placing it firmly in the high-airflow end of an environmental ventilation system.
Keeping the ductwork at the correct diameter helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and air velocity. Reducing immediately into substantially smaller ducting can restrict airflow and increase turbulence and noise.
For best performance, use appropriately sized ducting and fittings, keep the route as short and direct as practical, and avoid unnecessary tight bends.
Building a quieter ventilation system
A silenced fan can significantly improve the acoustic performance of a ventilation system, but the complete installation determines the final noise level.
- Use correctly sized ducting throughout the installation.
- Keep duct runs as straight as practical.
- Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
- Use acoustic insulated ducting where further noise reduction is required.
- Support the fan and ductwork correctly rather than allowing their weight to hang from adjoining equipment.
- Use vibration-reducing connectors where structure-borne noise is a concern.
- Avoid unnecessary reducers and sharp bends.
- Ensure filters and other components are appropriately sized for the required airflow.
Correct system design can reduce turbulence, restriction and vibration while allowing the EC fan to deliver the required airflow at the lowest practical operating speed.
Using the K-Line+ with a carbon filter
The K-Line+ can be incorporated into a filtered extraction system using a suitably sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork.
The filter must be capable of handling the required airflow. An undersized filter can create excessive resistance, reducing extraction performance and potentially increasing airflow noise.
Remember that the fan's 3200m³/h rating is its maximum nominal airflow rather than a guarantee of 3200m³/h through a filter and complete duct system. Filter resistance should be considered when sizing the installation.

K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan FAQs
What is the airflow of the K-Line+ 12.5" Silent EC Fan?
The 12.5" K-Line+ is rated at a maximum airflow of 3200m³/h, making it suitable for high-capacity ventilation applications. Is the K-Line+ 3200m³/h fan completely silent?
No high-output ventilation fan is completely silent. The K-Line+ uses a silenced construction designed to reduce operating noise, but the final sound level will also depend on fan speed, ductwork, filters, airflow restrictions and installation method. What does EC mean on the K-Line+ fan?
EC means electronically commutated. EC motors use integrated electronics to provide efficient operation and variable-speed capability. Can the K-Line+ EC fan be speed controlled?
EC fan technology is designed for variable-speed operation. The control method used must be electrically compatible with the specific fan and its control interface. What size ducting should I use with the 12.5" K-Line+?
Use ducting and fittings matched to the fan's nominal 12.5" connection wherever practical. Maintaining the correct diameter helps reduce unnecessary restriction, turbulence and airflow noise. Can the K-Line+ be used with acoustic ducting?
Yes. Acoustic insulated ducting can be used as part of a low-noise ventilation installation and can help reduce noise transmitted along the duct run. Can the K-Line+ be connected to a carbon filter?
Yes. A suitable carbon filter can be incorporated into the extraction system, but it should be correctly sized for the required airflow and its resistance should be considered when specifying the fan. Will I get exactly 3200m³/h through a carbon filter?
Not normally. The 3200m³/h figure is the fan's maximum nominal airflow. Filters, ducting, bends and other restrictions create resistance and reduce the airflow delivered by the complete installed system. Do bends in ducting reduce airflow?
Yes. Bends increase resistance and turbulence, particularly when they are tight or numerous. Keeping the duct route short and direct helps preserve airflow and reduce noise. Why use a larger 12.5" ventilation connection?
A larger duct diameter allows substantial volumes of air to be moved without forcing the same airflow through a much smaller cross-sectional area. Correctly sized ducting can therefore help reduce restriction and excessive air velocity. Can I reduce the K-Line+ into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce airflow while increasing turbulence and noise. Keep the full fan diameter for as much of the system as practical. Can the K-Line+ be used as an intake fan?
It can form part of an intake or extraction ventilation system where its airflow, direction, duct size and control requirements are appropriate for the installation. How can I make a K-Line+ installation quieter?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise sharp bends and restrictions, consider acoustic ducting, isolate vibration where practical and operate the EC fan at the lowest speed that still provides the required environmental airflow. Is the 3200m³/h K-Line+ suitable for larger controlled environments?
Yes. Its high maximum airflow makes it particularly suited to larger controlled horticultural environments and ventilation systems where a smaller inline fan cannot provide sufficient air movement. How many K-Line+ 12.5" fans are on a pallet?
The pallet quantity for this SKU is 12 fans.

The K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan combines powerful 2300m³/h airflow with an acoustically treated cylindrical housing and energy-efficient EC fan technology, providing high-capacity ventilation with reduced operating noise.
Designed for demanding extraction and air-movement applications, this K-Line+ model delivers a maximum airflow of 2300m³/h through a 10" duct connection. It provides substantial ventilation capacity for larger controlled horticultural environments while keeping fan noise under control.
The K-Line+ combines the fan and acoustic treatment within one compact inline assembly. This reduces the need to install a conventional exposed inline fan inside a separate acoustic enclosure and provides a clean, straightforward solution for high-airflow ventilation systems.
At the centre of the unit is an electronically commutated EC fan. EC technology provides efficient motor operation together with variable-speed capability, allowing airflow to be adjusted to suit the ventilation demand rather than continually operating at maximum output.
Why choose the K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan?
- 2300m³/h maximum airflow - substantial ventilation capacity for larger controlled environments.
- 10" duct connection - designed for high-airflow ventilation systems using large-diameter ductwork.
- Silenced construction - acoustic treatment around the fan assembly helps reduce transmitted operating noise.
- EC motor technology - electronically commutated fan technology combines efficient operation with controllable airflow.
- Variable-speed capability - airflow can be adjusted when the fan is paired with an appropriate compatible EC control method.
- Compact inline format - integrates high-output ventilation and acoustic treatment within one cylindrical assembly.
- Straight-through airflow - designed for straightforward installation into compatible circular ventilation ducting.
- Extraction or intake applications - suitable for correctly designed air-extraction, intake and filtered ventilation systems.
- Reduced noise at source - useful where conventional high-output inline fans would produce excessive fan noise.
- 15 units per pallet - suitable for trade, commercial and project purchasing.
High airflow with reduced fan noise
High-output ventilation can generate significant noise from the fan motor, impeller, airflow turbulence and vibration transmitted into connected ductwork.
The K-Line+ is designed specifically as a silenced inline fan. Its fan assembly is contained within a larger cylindrical acoustic housing rather than relying on the compact exposed casing found on many conventional inline fans.
This construction helps reduce fan noise at source while maintaining the straight-through airflow path required for an efficient ducted ventilation system.
For installations where acoustic performance is particularly important, the fan can be combined with insulated acoustic ducting, vibration-reducing connectors and correctly supported ductwork to further reduce noise transmission.
No high-capacity ventilation fan is completely silent. The final sound level will depend on fan speed, airflow, ducting, filters, bends, restrictions and the way the complete ventilation system is installed.
Efficient EC fan technology
EC stands for electronically commutated. EC motors use integrated electronic control to provide efficient operation and effective variable-speed performance.
This is particularly useful in controlled horticultural environments because maximum extraction is not necessarily required continuously. Ventilation demand can change throughout the day as temperature, humidity, lighting load and external conditions change.
With an appropriate compatible control method, the K-Line+ can be operated at a reduced speed when ventilation demand is lower and increased when additional airflow is required.
Running the fan only as hard as necessary can also help reduce airflow noise compared with operating a high-capacity ventilation system continuously at full output.
2300m³/h maximum airflow
The 10" K-Line+ provides a maximum nominal airflow of 2300 cubic metres per hour, giving it the capacity required for substantial extraction and air-exchange systems.
Maximum fan airflow should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved once the fan is installed. Every component within a ventilation system introduces resistance.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends, reducers, silencers, intake restrictions and compressed flexible ducting can all reduce actual airflow.
When specifying a ventilation system, consider both the required air-exchange rate and the resistance created by the complete installation.
10" high-airflow duct connection
This K-Line+ model is designed around a 10" nominal duct connection, making it suitable for ventilation systems where substantial volumes of air need to be moved efficiently.
Maintaining the correct duct diameter helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and excessive air velocity. Reducing immediately into significantly smaller ductwork can restrict the system, lower airflow and increase turbulence and noise.
For best performance, use correctly sized ducting and fittings, keep the duct route as short and direct as practical and minimise unnecessary tight bends.
Suitable for filtered extraction systems
The K-Line+ can be incorporated into a filtered extraction system using an appropriately sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork.
Filter capacity is important. An undersized filter can create excessive resistance, significantly reducing airflow through the installation and potentially increasing fan and airflow noise.
The fan's 2300m³/h figure is its maximum nominal airflow. Actual airflow through a carbon filter and complete duct system will normally be lower, so the resistance of the filter and ductwork should be considered when sizing the system.
Getting the best performance from the K-Line+
- Use 10" ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions in duct diameter.
- Do not crush or heavily compress flexible ducting.
- Support the fan and ductwork independently and securely.
- Consider acoustic ducting where further noise reduction is required.
- Use vibration-reducing connectors where structure-borne noise is a concern.
- Match carbon filters and other ventilation components to the required system airflow.
- Use compatible EC speed control where variable airflow is required.
A well-designed ventilation system reduces unnecessary resistance and allows the fan to provide the required environmental airflow at the lowest practical operating speed.

K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan FAQs
What is the airflow of the K-Line+ 10" Silent EC Fan?
The 10" K-Line+ is rated at a maximum airflow of 2300m³/h. Is the K-Line+ 2300m³/h fan completely silent?
No. The K-Line+ uses an acoustically treated construction to reduce operating noise, but any high-output ventilation system will still produce some fan and airflow noise. What does EC mean?
EC stands for electronically commutated. This motor technology provides efficient operation and allows effective variable-speed control when used with an appropriate compatible controller. Can the K-Line+ 10" EC fan be speed controlled?
Yes. EC fan technology supports variable-speed operation, although the controller and control method must be compatible with the fan. What size ducting should I use with this K-Line+ fan?
Use ducting and fittings matched to the fan's nominal 10" connection wherever practical. Correctly sized ductwork helps minimise restriction, turbulence and excessive airflow noise. Can I use acoustic ducting with the K-Line+?
Yes. Acoustic insulated ducting can complement the fan's silenced construction by helping reduce noise transmitted along the ventilation system. Can the K-Line+ be connected to a carbon filter?
Yes. The fan can form part of a filtered extraction system when used with an appropriately sized carbon filter and compatible ductwork. Will a carbon filter reduce the 2300m³/h airflow?
Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will be lower than the fan's maximum nominal airflow. The amount of reduction depends on the filter and the rest of the ventilation system. Do duct bends reduce airflow?
Yes. Bends increase resistance and turbulence. Keeping the duct route as straight and direct as practical helps preserve airflow and reduce unnecessary noise. Can I reduce the fan into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing the duct diameter increases resistance and can reduce airflow while increasing air velocity and noise. Can the K-Line+ 2300m³/h fan be used for intake?
Yes. It can form part of either an intake or extraction system where the required airflow, duct sizing and installation design are appropriate. How can I reduce ventilation noise further?
Use correctly sized ducting, minimise bends and restrictions, consider acoustic ducting, isolate vibration where practical and use compatible EC speed control so the fan does not operate faster than necessary. Is 2300m³/h the actual airflow after installation?
Not necessarily. 2300m³/h is the maximum nominal fan airflow. Filters, duct length, bends, reducers and other restrictions will affect the actual airflow delivered by the installed system. Is this fan suitable for larger controlled horticultural environments?
Yes. Its combination of 2300m³/h maximum airflow, 10" connection, EC technology and silenced construction makes it well suited to larger controlled environments requiring substantial ventilation. How many K-Line+ 10" 2300m³/h fans are on a pallet?

Please sign in to see pricing
The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller is a thermostatic ventilation controller designed to manage an intake fan and extraction fan together, automatically adjusting ventilation according to the measured temperature.
With two independently adjustable fan-speed controls, the Krystal controller allows the balance between intake and extraction airflow to be set while its remote temperature sensor monitors the environment. Set the required target temperature and the controller automatically manages the connected fans to help maintain a more stable environment.
Two UK power outlets are built directly into the controller, providing dedicated connections for the intake and extraction fans. Each outlet can control a compatible fan with a maximum power of 320W.
A digital temperature display and LED indicators provide an immediate view of target and current temperatures, making the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller a straightforward solution for automated ventilation without the complexity of a larger environmental-control system.
Why choose the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller?
- Controls two fans - dedicated power outlets allow an intake and extraction fan to be controlled from one unit.
- Automatic temperature control - set the required temperature and the controller adjusts ventilation accordingly.
- Independent fan-speed adjustment - intake and extraction speeds can be balanced to suit the ventilation system.
- Negative-pressure control - the difference between intake and extraction airflow can be adjusted to help maintain the required pressure balance.
- Remote temperature sensor - measures conditions within the controlled environment rather than at the controller itself.
- Digital temperature display - provides clear temperature information during setup and operation.
- LED status indicators - provides quick visual feedback from the controller.
- Up to 320W per outlet - each fan output supports a compatible fan up to the specified maximum power.
- Helps reduce unnecessary fan noise - fans do not need to operate continuously at maximum speed when full airflow is unnecessary.
- Plug-in installation - designed as a straightforward controller for compatible mains-powered ventilation fans.
Automatic temperature-based ventilation
Temperature can change substantially as lighting, external weather and other environmental conditions change. A ventilation system running at one fixed speed cannot respond automatically to those variations.
The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller uses its temperature sensor to continuously monitor the environment. Once the required target temperature has been selected, the controller adjusts the connected fans accordingly.
This allows ventilation to respond to environmental demand rather than requiring repeated manual adjustment of the fans.
The result is a more controlled approach to air exchange, particularly where extraction is the primary method used to remove excess heat.
Control intake & extraction together
The controller provides two mains power outlets, allowing both sides of a balanced ventilation system to be managed from the same unit.
Extraction fan
The extraction fan removes warm air from the controlled environment and provides the primary air exchange.
Intake fan
The intake fan supplies replacement air as the extraction system removes air from the environment.
Using both fans through one controller allows their operation to be coordinated while still giving the user control over the balance between intake and extraction airflow.
Adjustable airflow & negative pressure
Intake and extraction systems do not necessarily need to operate at identical airflow rates. In many filtered extraction systems, slightly greater extraction than intake is desirable to maintain negative pressure.
The Krystal controller provides separate adjustment for the two connected fans, allowing the intake/extraction balance to be tuned for the installation.
Actual pressure balance will depend on the fans themselves as well as carbon filters, duct length, bends, intake restrictions and other components in the ventilation system.
Fan-speed settings should therefore be adjusted according to the behaviour of the complete installed system rather than simply setting both controls to identical positions.
Reduce unnecessary ventilation noise
A ventilation fan normally produces more motor and airflow noise as its speed increases. Running both intake and extraction fans at maximum output continuously can therefore create considerably more noise than necessary.
By allowing fan speeds to be adjusted and ventilation to respond to temperature, the Krystal controller can help avoid unnecessarily high airflow when environmental demand is lower.
For further noise reduction, combine correctly controlled fan speeds with appropriately sized ducting, smooth airflow routes, vibration isolation and acoustic ducting where required.
Temperature sensor for accurate control
The supplied temperature sensor should be positioned in a representative part of the controlled environment so the controller receives a useful indication of the temperature experienced by the crop.
Avoid positioning the sensor directly beside heaters, lighting equipment, air intakes or extraction points, as these can produce localised temperatures that do not represent the wider environment.
Keeping the sensor away from direct radiant heat and strong airflow will generally provide a more representative measurement for automatic fan control.
Fan compatibility
The Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller is intended for compatible mains-powered AC ventilation fans that can be controlled using this type of fan-speed controller.
Each outlet supports a fan with a maximum specified power of 320W. Always check the fan manufacturer's electrical and speed-control requirements before connecting equipment.
This is not an EC signal controller. EC fans that require a dedicated 0-10V, PWM, digital or manufacturer-specific low-voltage control signal should be used with the appropriate EC fan controller instead.
Setting up the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller
- Position the temperature sensor in a representative area.
- Connect a compatible extraction fan to the appropriate outlet.
- Connect a compatible intake fan to the second outlet where active intake is being used.
- Set the required target temperature.
- Adjust the intake and extraction fan speeds to establish the required airflow balance.
- Allow the environment to stabilise and check the resulting temperature and pressure balance.
- Fine-tune the fan settings if required.
Fans should remain within the controller's specified electrical rating, and the ventilation system should be correctly sized for the environment being controlled.

Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller FAQs
What does the Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controller do?
It controls an intake fan and extraction fan from one unit, using a temperature sensor and adjustable fan-speed controls to help maintain the selected environmental temperature. How many fans can the Krystal controller operate?
The controller has two power outlets, allowing one compatible intake fan and one compatible extraction fan to be connected. What is the maximum fan power?
Each of the two fan outlets can control a compatible fan with a maximum power of 320W. Does the Krystal controller automatically respond to temperature?
Yes. Set the required target temperature and the controller uses its supplied temperature sensor to adjust ventilation accordingly. Can I adjust the intake and extraction fans separately?
Yes. The intake and extraction fan speeds can be adjusted to establish the required balance between incoming and outgoing airflow. Can the Krystal controller help maintain negative pressure?
Yes. By setting the extraction airflow higher than the intake airflow, the controller can be used as part of a ventilation system designed to maintain negative pressure. The actual pressure achieved will depend on the complete installation. Does the controller include a temperature sensor?
Yes. A temperature sensor is included so the controller can monitor the environment and adjust fan operation in response to temperature. Does it display the current temperature?
Yes. The controller features a digital display and LED indicators for monitoring target and current temperature information. Can I use only an extraction fan?
The controller is designed around dual-fan control, but the ventilation requirements of the installation determine whether active intake is necessary. Where only one fan is connected, always ensure the equipment and controller are being used appropriately. Will controlling fan speed reduce noise?
Reducing unnecessary fan speed can reduce motor and airflow noise. Overall noise will also depend on the fans, ducting, filters, vibration and airflow restrictions. Can I use the Krystal controller with a carbon-filter extraction system?
Yes. It can control compatible extraction and intake fans used within a filtered ventilation system, provided the fans are suitable for speed control and remain within the controller's electrical rating. Can this controller operate EC fans?
This controller is intended for compatible mains-powered AC fans. EC fans requiring 0-10V, PWM or another dedicated low-voltage speed-control signal should use the appropriate EC controller specified for the fan. Where should I place the temperature sensor?
Place the sensor in a representative area away from direct heat sources, strong intake or extraction airflow and other localised conditions that could distort the temperature reading. Why control both intake and extraction fans?
Controlling both fans allows total ventilation and the balance between incoming and outgoing air to be adjusted together. This can provide more stable temperature and pressure control than operating two fans independently. How many Krystal Dual Fan Speed Controllers are in an outer case?
The outer case quantity for this SKU is 16 controllers.

The Krystal 8" Carbon Filter 200mm x 600mm is a high-capacity 1125m³/h air filter filled with 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for effective odour control in filtered extraction systems.
Designed for higher-airflow ventilation applications, this model combines a 200mm / 8" connection, 600mm filter body and 1125m³/h airflow rating.
Krystal Carbon Filters use 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. The highly porous carbon provides an enormous internal surface area onto which unwanted gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the filter.
The filter is constructed around a lightweight aluminium housing with an open-area mesh outer surface. This provides a large air-entry area while helping keep the complete filter manageable for suspended ventilation installations.

- 1125m³/h airflow rating - designed for substantial filtered extraction systems.
- 8" / 200mm connection - suitable for compatible high-airflow fans and 200mm ventilation systems.
- 600mm filter body - provides substantial carbon filtration capacity.
- 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon - high-quality activated carbon selected for air filtration.
- Effective odour adsorption - captures unwanted gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Lightweight aluminium housing - robust construction while helping reduce installation weight.
- Open-area mesh - provides a large surface through which air can enter the carbon filter.
- High-capacity filtration - suited to larger controlled horticultural environments.
- Standard 200mm connection - straightforward integration with compatible fans, ducting and fittings.
100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for this carbon filter range.
Activated carbon contains an extremely porous internal structure. These microscopic pores create a very large surface area capable of attracting and retaining suitable gaseous compounds from the air.
As contaminated air is drawn through the filter, odour-causing compounds adhere to the surface of the RC412 carbon through adsorption. The treated air then continues through the extraction system.
This process makes activated carbon particularly effective for treating odour-bearing extraction air and is fundamentally different from ordinary dust or particulate filtration.
1125m³/h airflow capacity
The Krystal 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1125 cubic metres per hour.
The extraction fan needs enough performance to overcome resistance from the carbon filter, ducting and other ventilation components while remaining appropriately matched to the filter's airflow capacity.
Carbon filters naturally introduce resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum rating.
At the same time, excessive airflow can reduce contact time between the air and activated carbon. Correctly matching the fan and filter therefore supports both ventilation performance and effective odour adsorption.
200mm connection with 600mm filter body
The filter uses a 200mm / 8" nominal connection, allowing it to integrate with appropriately sized fans, ducting and fittings.
Keeping the ventilation system at the full 200mm diameter wherever practical helps minimise unnecessary resistance and excessive air velocity.
Its 600mm body provides a substantial carbon bed while retaining practical dimensions for installation in larger controlled environments.
Installing the Krystal 8" Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, environmental air is drawn through the outer mesh and activated carbon bed before reaching the extraction fan.
Connections should be secure and reasonably airtight. Air entering the system downstream of the carbon filter can bypass filtration and reduce overall odour-control performance.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with a fan appropriate for the 1125m³/h filter rating.
- Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure all connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the open-area mesh unobstructed.
Maintaining effective RC412 carbon filtration
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As air is processed, unwanted compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
Filter life varies according to operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions.
Keeping excessive dust away from the filter and maintaining appropriate airflow helps preserve effective operation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its useful service life.

The Krystal 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1125m³/h. What carbon does this filter use?
It is produced using 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon. Why is RC412 activated carbon used for air filtration?
Its highly porous structure provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as air passes through the carbon bed. What size ducting should I use?
The filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. What extraction fan should I use?
Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 1125m³/h rating, required environmental airflow and resistance from the complete ventilation system. Will the carbon filter reduce fan airflow?
Yes. The carbon bed creates resistance, so actual installed fan airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow. Can I use a variable-speed fan?
Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan allows airflow to be adjusted to match the requirements of the filter and ventilation system. Should the filter be installed before the fan?
A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter first and then through the extraction fan so the air is treated before entering the exhaust ductwork. Is the Krystal carbon filter made with an aluminium housing?

100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
The quality of the activated carbon is central to the performance of an odour-control filter. Krystal uses 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon throughout this filter range.
Activated carbon is processed to create an extremely porous internal structure. These microscopic pores give the carbon an exceptionally large internal surface area relative to its physical size.
As extracted air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous odour compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
This makes activated carbon filtration fundamentally different from ordinary particulate filtration. Its primary purpose here is the removal of unwanted gaseous odour compounds from the extraction airstream.
500m³/h airflow capacity
This Krystal Carbon Filter is rated at 500 cubic metres per hour.
Fan and filter sizing should always be considered together. The carbon bed creates resistance, so a fan will not normally deliver its unrestricted maximum airflow once connected to the filter and ductwork.
Duct length, bends, reducers and other ventilation components add further resistance. Equally, forcing excessive airflow through a carbon filter can reduce the contact time between contaminated air and the activated carbon.
Correctly matching the fan, filter and ductwork helps provide effective ventilation while maintaining suitable conditions for carbon filtration.
Installing the Krystal 125mm Carbon Filter
A typical extraction arrangement draws air through the carbon filter before it reaches the extraction fan. The treated air then passes through the fan and into the exhaust ductwork.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 125mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with a fan appropriate for the 500m³/h filter rating.
- Keep duct runs short and direct where possible.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reducers.
- Keep connections secure to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the exposed mesh surface unobstructed.
Carbon filter life & replacement
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. During operation, odour compounds gradually occupy the available adsorption sites within the RC412 carbon.
Filter life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single replacement interval suitable for every installation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct airflow and secure ventilation connections, the carbon may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter first and then through the extraction fan, treating the air before it enters the exhaust ductwork. Why is fan and filter matching important?
The fan must provide enough airflow after system resistance is considered without forcing air through the carbon filter unnecessarily quickly. Is the housing aluminium?
Yes. Krystal specifies a lightweight aluminium housing for its carbon filter range. What is the purpose of the open-area mesh?
The mesh provides a large open surface through which air can enter the cylindrical carbon filter before passing through the activated carbon bed. How long will the carbon filter last?
Service life varies according to airflow, operating hours, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single lifespan applicable to every installation. How do I know when it needs replacing?

Designed for larger ventilation systems, this model combines a 250mm / 10" connection, 750mm filter body and 1750m³/h airflow rating. Its increased filter size provides the airflow capacity required for powerful extraction systems while maintaining effective contact between the extracted air and activated carbon.
Krystal uses 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon within the filter. The highly porous carbon provides an enormous internal surface area onto which odour-causing gaseous compounds can adsorb as air passes through the carbon bed.
A lightweight aluminium housing makes the filter easier to support than unnecessarily heavy designs, while the open-area mesh allows air to enter across the cylindrical filter surface before passing through the activated carbon.
Why choose the Krystal 10" Carbon Filter?
- 1750m³/h airflow rating - designed for high-capacity filtered extraction systems.
- 10" / 250mm connection - suitable for larger ventilation systems using 250mm fans and ducting.
- 750mm filter body - provides substantial carbon filtration capacity without moving to the longer 1000mm or 1200mm models.

- Standard 250mm connection - straightforward integration with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon
The quality and quantity of activated carbon are central to the performance of an odour-control filter. Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for its carbon filter range.
Activated carbon is processed to create an extremely porous internal structure. Although the carbon itself occupies a relatively compact volume, those microscopic pores create a very large internal surface area.
As contaminated air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to this surface through a process known as adsorption. The treated air then continues through the extraction system.
Carbon filtration is therefore fundamentally different from a simple particulate filter. Its principal purpose in this application is removing unwanted odour compounds from the extracted airstream.
1750m³/h airflow capacity
This 250mm x 750mm Krystal Carbon Filter is rated at 1750 cubic metres per hour, positioning it as a high-capacity option for larger ventilation systems.
The airflow rating of the filter and the performance of the extraction fan should be considered together. A carbon filter creates resistance, meaning a fan will not normally deliver its unrestricted maximum airflow once connected to the filter and ductwork.
Duct length, bends, silencers, reducers and other ventilation components add further resistance.
Equally, forcing substantially more air through a carbon filter than it is designed to handle can reduce contact time with the carbon bed. Correct fan and filter matching is therefore important for both ventilation and odour-control performance.
250mm connection with 750mm filter body
The filter has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection for integration with appropriately sized ventilation equipment.
Keeping the extraction system at 250mm wherever practical helps minimise unnecessary resistance. Immediately reducing a high-airflow system into substantially smaller ducting increases air velocity and static pressure and can reduce overall performance.
At 750mm long, this model provides greater carbon capacity and airflow capability than shorter 250mm filters while remaining more compact than the 1000mm and 1200mm versions available within the Krystal range.
Installing the Krystal carbon filter
A typical filtered extraction system draws environmental air through the outer surface of the carbon filter. The air passes through the activated carbon before travelling through the fan and into the exhaust ducting.
Connections between the filter, fan and ducting should be secure and reasonably airtight. Untreated air leaking into the system after the carbon filter can bypass filtration and reduce overall odour-control performance.
- Support the 250mm carbon filter securely and independently.
- Use appropriately sized 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Pair with an extraction fan suitable for the filter's 1750m³/h airflow rating.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
- Avoid unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Secure connections to minimise untreated air bypass.
- Keep the exposed filter surface unobstructed.
Matching your extraction fan & carbon filter
Fan diameter alone does not determine whether a fan and carbon filter are correctly matched. The airflow requirements of both components also need to be considered.
This Krystal filter is rated at 1750m³/h. The extraction fan should provide enough performance to achieve the required air exchange after resistance from the filter, ducting and other components has been taken into account.
Where a higher-capacity variable-speed fan is used, airflow can be adjusted to suit the filter and environmental requirement rather than continuously operating the fan at maximum output.
Correct sizing also helps prevent excessive air velocity through the carbon bed and can reduce unnecessary ventilation noise.
Maintaining effective odour filtration
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter operates, odour compounds progressively occupy available adsorption sites within the carbon.
The useful life of the filter will vary according to the amount of air processed, contaminant concentration, operating hours and environmental conditions.
Keeping excessive dust away from the filter and maintaining suitable airflow can help preserve effective operation.
If unwanted odours begin passing through the extraction system despite correct airflow and secure connections, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective service life and the filter should be considered for replacement.

The Krystal 250mm x 750mm Carbon Filter is rated at 1750m³/h. What carbon is used in Krystal carbon filters?
Krystal specifies 100% RC412 Australian virgin activated carbon for this carbon filter range. What does RC412 activated carbon do?
The activated carbon provides a very large internal surface area onto which suitable gaseous odour compounds can adsorb as extracted air passes through the filter. What size ducting should I use?
This filter has a nominal 250mm / 10" connection, so matching 250mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. What size extraction fan should I use?
Select a compatible fan according to the filter's 1750m³/h airflow rating, required environmental airflow and the resistance of the complete ventilation system. Will the carbon filter reduce the airflow from my fan?
Yes. The carbon bed creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating. Can I use a variable-speed fan with this filter?
Yes. A suitable variable-speed fan can be particularly useful because its airflow can be adjusted to match the filter and the actual ventilation requirement. Should the filter be installed before the extraction fan?
A common configuration draws air through the carbon filter before it reaches the fan. This treats the air before it enters the exhaust ductwork. Can this 250mm filter be reduced to smaller ducting?
Reducers can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases resistance and air velocity. Keeping the system at 250mm wherever practical generally provides a more efficient airflow path. Why is the 750mm filter longer than some 250mm carbon filters?
A larger filter body provides additional filtration capacity and allows this model to support its 1750m³/h rated airflow while maintaining a substantial activated carbon bed. Does a carbon filter remove dust as well as odours?
The primary purpose of this filter is gaseous odour adsorption. Excessive dust should be kept away from the filter because accumulated particulate contamination can restrict airflow. How long will the Krystal carbon filter last?
Service life varies with operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so there is no single replacement interval suitable for every installation. How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin to pass through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its useful adsorption capacity. Is this suitable for a high-capacity horticultural extraction system?

The U-GO 8" 200mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1230m³/h of airflow using an efficient 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included as standard for variable-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.
Designed for powerful but controllable air movement, the U-GO combines a 200mm / 8" connection with 1230m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation while producing the static pressure required to work effectively within real ventilation systems containing ducting, bends and carbon filters.
Unlike a basic fixed-speed extraction fan, the U-GO is supplied with its own detachable digital controller. This provides fully variable fan-speed control together with thermostatic temperature control, allowing ventilation to respond more closely to changing environmental conditions.
The fan is built around a sturdy steel housing with ABEC 7 ball bearings and is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional options when integrating it into a more advanced environmental-control system.
Why choose the U-GO 8" EC Extraction Fan?
- 1230m³/h maximum airflow - substantial extraction capacity through a compact 200mm fan.
- 9-pole digital EC brushless motor - efficient electronically commutated motor technology designed for variable-speed ventilation.
- Digital thermostatic controller included - no separate basic fan controller is required for standalone temperature-responsive operation.
- Fully variable fan speed - adjust ventilation output to suit changing environmental requirements.
- 7.85 CFM per watt stated efficiency - designed to move substantial volumes of air efficiently.
- Strong static-pressure performance - useful when airflow must overcome resistance from carbon filters and ductwork.
- 0-10V control compatible - supports external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
- Sturdy steel housing - robust construction for demanding ventilation installations.
- ABEC 7 ball bearings - designed for smooth, reliable fan operation.
- 200mm / 8" connection - integrates with appropriately sized ducting, filters and ventilation fittings.
9-pole digital EC brushless motor
At the centre of the U-GO is a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC stands for electronically commutated, combining a brushless motor design with electronic control.
This technology is particularly well suited to environmental ventilation because fan speed can be varied efficiently rather than relying solely on full-power operation.
U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the design intended to provide both strong linear airflow and static-pressure performance.
Static pressure becomes particularly important once a fan is connected to real ventilation equipment. Carbon filters, ducting, bends and other components all resist airflow, so a fan's ability to maintain useful airflow against resistance matters as much as its unrestricted maximum airflow figure.
Digital thermostatic controller included
Every U-GO fan is supplied with a detachable digital controller, giving the user direct control over fan operation without needing to purchase a separate basic speed controller.
The controller provides fully variable speed adjustment and thermostatic temperature control. This allows ventilation to be configured around the required environment rather than simply running the extraction fan at maximum speed continuously.
When environmental demand is lower, reducing fan speed can decrease unnecessary airflow, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. As additional cooling or air exchange becomes necessary, fan output can be increased.
This makes the U-GO particularly useful where ventilation requirements vary as lighting load, external temperature and other environmental conditions change.
1230m³/h high-airflow ventilation
The 8" U-GO provides a maximum airflow of 1230 cubic metres per hour, making it suitable for substantial intake or extraction applications.
Maximum airflow figures describe fan performance under defined conditions and should not be confused with the airflow that will necessarily be achieved after installation.
Carbon filters, long duct runs, tight bends, reducers, silencers and compressed flexible ducting all introduce resistance and can reduce actual system airflow.
Keeping the ventilation route short, correctly sized and as direct as practical helps the U-GO make better use of its available airflow and static-pressure capability.
0-10V environmental controller compatibility
In addition to its supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
A 0-10V control signal allows compatible environmental-control equipment to regulate EC fan speed without controlling the fan by simply reducing its mains supply.
This provides scope for integrating the fan into more advanced ventilation strategies where compatible equipment is being used.
Always confirm the connection, control signal and cable requirements of the external controller before connecting third-party environmental-control equipment.
Ideal for carbon-filtered extraction
The U-GO's combination of high airflow and static-pressure performance makes it well suited to carbon-filtered extraction systems.
A carbon filter naturally creates resistance as air is pulled through the activated carbon bed. The fan therefore needs enough pressure capability to maintain the required ventilation rate once the filter is installed.
For best results, match the fan with a carbon filter of suitable airflow capacity and connection diameter. A variable-speed EC fan is particularly useful because airflow can then be adjusted to suit both the filter and the environmental requirement.
Getting the best performance from the U-GO 200mm Fan
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as the installation allows.
- Minimise unnecessary tight bends and reductions.
- Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
- Match carbon-filter airflow capacity appropriately to the fan.
- Secure and support the fan correctly.
- Use the supplied digital controller to avoid unnecessary full-speed operation.
- Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where integration with a wider environmental-control system is required.
Correct ventilation design allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance environmental control, energy use and noise.

Yes. A carbon filter creates resistance, so actual installed airflow will normally be lower than the fan's unrestricted maximum airflow rating. What size ducting does the U-GO 8" fan require?
The fan has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I reduce the U-GO fan into smaller ducting?
A reducer can be used where necessary, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and air velocity and can reduce overall airflow. What are ABEC 7 ball bearings?
The U-GO motor assembly uses ABEC 7 ball bearings, providing a precision bearing system for smooth fan operation. Can the U-GO be used as an intake fan?
Yes. The fan can be incorporated into appropriately designed intake or extraction ventilation systems. How can I get the best airflow from the U-GO fan?
Use correctly sized 200mm ducting, minimise tight bends and restrictions, avoid compressed flexible ducting and ensure filters and other ventilation components are appropriately sized for the required airflow.

The U-GO 10" 250mm EC Extraction Fan delivers up to 1840m³/h of airflow using a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor, with a detachable digital thermostatic controller included for fully variable fan-speed and temperature-responsive ventilation control.
Designed for high-capacity ventilation systems, the U-GO combines a 250mm / 10" connection with 1840m³/h maximum airflow. Its EC motor technology provides efficient variable-speed operation together with strong static-pressure performance for installations containing carbon filters, ducting and other airflow restrictions.
A detachable digital controller is included, providing both variable fan-speed adjustment and thermostatic control. This allows ventilation to be matched more closely to changing environmental conditions instead of operating the fan continuously at maximum output.
The fan features a sturdy steel housing and ABEC 7 ball bearings. It is also compatible with external 0-10V control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection, providing additional flexibility for integration with suitable environmental-control equipment.

9-pole digital EC brushless motor
The U-GO uses a 9-pole digital EC brushless motor. EC, or electronically commutated, technology combines a brushless motor with electronic control to provide efficient variable-speed operation.
Variable-speed capability is particularly useful in controlled environments because maximum ventilation is not required continuously. Temperature and air-exchange requirements can change considerably throughout the day.
U-GO states a fan efficiency of 7.85 CFM per watt, with the fan designed to provide strong linear airflow together with useful static-pressure performance.
Static pressure is especially important once a fan is installed in a real ventilation system. Carbon filters, long duct runs, bends and other components all create resistance that the fan must overcome to maintain airflow.
Digital thermostatic controller included
The U-GO 250mm EC Fan is supplied with its own detachable digital controller, allowing fan speed and temperature-responsive ventilation to be managed without purchasing a separate basic speed controller.
Fully variable speed control allows the airflow to be reduced when maximum extraction is unnecessary and increased as ventilation demand rises.
Thermostatic control adds another level of automation by allowing ventilation to respond to environmental temperature.
Operating the fan only as hard as necessary can help reduce unnecessary energy consumption, airflow noise and excessive air exchange while maintaining the required environmental conditions.
1840m³/h high-capacity airflow
With a maximum airflow of 1840 cubic metres per hour, this 10" U-GO is designed for larger ventilation applications requiring substantial air movement.
Maximum airflow is not the same as the airflow that will necessarily be achieved once the fan is installed. Every component added to the system introduces some degree of resistance.
Carbon filters, silencers, duct length, bends, reducers and compressed flexible ducting can all lower the actual airflow delivered by the complete installation.
Keeping ductwork correctly sized, reasonably straight and free from unnecessary restrictions allows the fan to make better use of its available airflow and pressure capability.
250mm / 10" ventilation connection
The fan uses a nominal 250mm / 10" connection for integration with compatible high-airflow ducting, carbon filters and ventilation fittings.
Maintaining the 250mm diameter throughout as much of the system as practical helps minimise unnecessary static pressure and excessive air velocity.
Reducing immediately into substantially smaller ducting can restrict airflow and increase turbulence and noise, limiting the performance available from a high-capacity fan.
0-10V environmental controller compatibility
In addition to the supplied digital controller, the U-GO supports 0-10V external control via RJ9 or RJ11 connection.
A compatible 0-10V controller can regulate the EC fan through a low-voltage control signal rather than attempting to regulate fan speed by altering its mains power supply.
This provides additional options for integrating the U-GO into compatible environmental-control systems where centralised or automated fan-speed control is required.
Always confirm controller compatibility, cable configuration and control-signal requirements before connecting third-party equipment.
Excellent choice for carbon-filtered extraction
High-capacity carbon filters create significant resistance as air is drawn through the activated carbon bed. The extraction fan therefore needs both sufficient airflow and useful static-pressure capability.
The U-GO's combination of 1840m³/h maximum airflow, EC speed control and strong static-pressure performance makes it well suited to larger filtered extraction systems.
Ideally, use a carbon filter with a matching 250mm connection and an airflow rating appropriate to the fan's operating airflow.
Because the U-GO is fully variable, its output can be adjusted to match the carbon filter and environmental requirement rather than simply operating continuously at maximum speed.
Getting the best performance from the U-GO 250mm Fan
- Use 250mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise tight bends and unnecessary reductions.
- Avoid crushing or heavily compressing flexible ducting.
- Match carbon-filter capacity appropriately to the fan.
- Securely support the fan and connected ventilation equipment.
- Use the supplied digital controller to match airflow to environmental demand.
- Use compatible 0-10V control equipment where external environmental control is required.
A properly designed ventilation system allows the fan to provide the required air exchange at the lowest practical operating speed, helping balance airflow, environmental stability, energy use and noise.

The U-GO Carbon Filter 8" 200mm x 600mm is a premium activated carbon air filter engineered around carefully selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with an emphasis on high airflow, low restriction and dependable odour filtration.
U-GO takes a particularly selective approach to the carbon used inside its filters. Because activated carbon is a natural material and its quality can vary between production batches, U-GO states that it selects only the premium 20% of the carbon produced for use within its filtration range.
The carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected to provide the particle characteristics required for effective airflow. U-GO uses Pro Grade 4/8 carbon, with material that fails its quality and air-stream testing rejected rather than used within the filter.
The result is a 200mm carbon filter designed to combine effective odour adsorption with reduced airflow restriction, helping a correctly matched extraction fan maintain useful ventilation performance once the filter is installed.
Why choose the U-GO 8" Carbon Filter?
- Premium carbon selection - U-GO states that only the top 20% of carbon produced is selected for its filters.
- Pro Grade 4/8 carbon - selected particle size designed to balance filtration performance and airflow.
- Independently batch tested - carbon quality is checked before being accepted for use.
- De-dusted carbon - selected and processed to minimise excessive carbon dust.
- Minimum 20% butane adsorption test requirement - carbon failing U-GO's specified air-stream quality testing is rejected.
- Low-restriction design - engineered to maintain strong airflow through the filter.
- 200mm / 8" connection - integrates with compatible fans, ducting and ventilation fittings.
- 600mm filter body - provides substantial filtration capacity in a manageable format.
- Designed for odour filtration - activated carbon adsorbs suitable gaseous odour compounds from extracted air.
- Built for filtered extraction - suitable for pairing with an appropriately specified 200mm extraction fan.
Premium selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon
Not all activated carbon performs identically. Carbon is a natural material, so particle size, dust content and adsorption performance can vary between batches.
U-GO's approach is to grade the carbon before it reaches the finished filter. The brand states that it purchases only the premium 20% of available carbon, with the material independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before use.
The filters use Pro Grade 4/8 carbon. Selecting a suitable carbon particle size is important because the carbon bed needs to provide a large adsorptive surface without creating excessive resistance to airflow.
Carbon that is too fine or excessively dusty can increase resistance. U-GO's carbon specification is intended to provide a balance between effective adsorption and the free movement of air through the filter.
Batch tested for carbon quality
U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested rather than assuming every batch of natural activated carbon will perform to the same standard.
The selection process includes assessment of carbon particle characteristics and air-stream performance, with a stated minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement.
Material that is too small, excessively dusty or does not meet the required testing standard is rejected rather than being used in the finished U-GO filter.
This quality-control approach is intended to provide more consistent filtration performance from one production batch to another.
How activated carbon removes odours
Activated carbon contains a huge network of microscopic pores. These pores give the carbon an extremely large internal surface area relative to its physical size.
As odour-bearing air passes through the carbon bed, suitable gaseous compounds adhere to the carbon surface through a process known as adsorption.
The effectiveness of the process depends on carbon quality, the amount of carbon available, airflow, contact time and the concentration of compounds being treated.
Carbon filtration is therefore different from simply trapping visible dust. Its main role is treating gaseous odour compounds carried within the extraction airstream.
Designed for high airflow with low restriction
Every carbon filter introduces some resistance because the air must travel through a bed of activated carbon before reaching the extraction fan.
U-GO places particular emphasis on reducing unnecessary restriction. Its selected Pro Grade 4/8 carbon is intended to provide the particle characteristics required for good airflow without compromising the filter's ability to adsorb odour compounds.
This matters because the airflow quoted for an extraction fan is generally its maximum performance under defined conditions. Once a carbon filter, ducting, bends and other components are added, the actual airflow delivered by the system will be lower.
A lower-restriction filter helps preserve more of the fan's available airflow while still providing the carbon bed required for odour filtration.
200mm / 8" connection with 600mm body
This U-GO Carbon Filter has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body.
Using matching 200mm ducting, fans and fittings wherever practical helps maintain an efficient airflow path through the ventilation system.
Reducing the duct diameter increases air velocity and system resistance, so unnecessary reductions should be avoided where maximum airflow performance is required.
Installing the U-GO Carbon Filter
In a typical filtered extraction system, air is drawn through the carbon filter before entering the extraction fan. The treated air then travels through the exhaust ductwork.
Fan and filter performance should be considered together. The fan needs sufficient pressure capability to overcome the resistance of the filter and duct system while remaining appropriately matched to the filter.
- Support the filter securely and independently.
- Use 200mm ducting and fittings wherever practical.
- Match the extraction fan appropriately to the filter and required airflow.
- Keep duct runs as short and direct as possible.
- Minimise unnecessary bends and reductions.
- Keep connections secure to prevent untreated air bypass.
- Avoid obstructing the filter's air-entry surface.
Carbon filter service life
Activated carbon has a finite adsorption capacity. As the filter processes contaminated air, compounds gradually occupy more of the available adsorption sites within the carbon.
U-GO's selected carbon and low-restriction filter design are intended to support effective filtration and a longer expected operating life, but actual service life will always depend on the installation.
Operating hours, airflow, environmental conditions and the concentration of compounds being removed can all affect how quickly a carbon filter becomes saturated.
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite correct ventilation operation and secure connections, the carbon filter may be approaching the end of its effective service life.

U-GO 8" 200mm x 600mm Carbon Filter FAQs
What size is this U-GO Carbon Filter?
This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection and a 600mm filter body. What type of carbon does U-GO use?
U-GO specifies selected Pro Grade 4/8 activated carbon for its carbon filter range. What does Pro Grade 4/8 carbon mean?
It refers to the selected particle grade used within the filter. Carbon particle characteristics affect both adsorption and the resistance created as air passes through the carbon bed. Why does U-GO select only part of each carbon supply?
Activated carbon is a natural material and its characteristics can vary between batches. U-GO states that it selects the premium 20% of carbon produced for use in its filters. Is U-GO carbon batch tested?
Yes. U-GO states that its carbon is independently batch tested, de-dusted and selected before being used in its filters. What is the 20% butane adsorption specification?
U-GO specifies a minimum 20% butane adsorption requirement as part of its carbon quality testing, with material that fails its required standard rejected. Why does carbon particle size matter?
Particle characteristics influence both the available carbon surface and resistance to airflow. U-GO selects its Pro Grade 4/8 carbon to provide a balance between filtration and airflow. Does U-GO de-dust its carbon?
Yes. De-dusting forms part of the stated U-GO carbon selection process and helps reduce unnecessary fine carbon material within the filter. What size ducting should I use?
This model has a nominal 200mm / 8" connection, so matching 200mm ducting and fittings should be used wherever practical. Can I use this with a 200mm extraction fan?
Yes. It is designed for integration into a 200mm ventilation system. Fan performance should also be matched to the airflow requirements and resistance of the complete installation. Will a carbon filter reduce fan airflow?
Yes. All carbon beds introduce some resistance. U-GO's carbon selection and filter design place particular emphasis on maintaining airflow while still providing effective carbon filtration. Can I reduce the filter into smaller ducting?
A suitable reducer can be used where required, but reducing duct diameter increases system resistance and may reduce available airflow. How does the U-GO Carbon Filter remove odours?
Odour-bearing air passes through the activated carbon bed, where suitable gaseous compounds adsorb onto the enormous internal surface area of the carbon. How long does a U-GO Carbon Filter last?
Actual service life depends on operating hours, airflow, contaminant concentration and environmental conditions, so a single replacement interval cannot accurately apply to every installation. How do I know when the carbon filter needs replacing?
If unwanted odours begin passing through despite suitable airflow, secure connections and correct ventilation operation, the activated carbon may be approaching the end of its effective adsorption capacity.
