Unit price perEstimated delivery between November 01 and November 03.
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.
- Expandable coverage - multiple detectors can be installed throughout a larger controlled environment.
- Up to five detectors on Hydro-X HCS-1 - provides the option to monitor several positions from a single controller.
- Plug-and-play connection - connects through TrolMaster's RJ12 sensor network.
- Addressable sensor - built-in addressing button allows the controller to identify individual MBS-SD sensors.
- 16ft RJ12 cable included - provides approximately 4.9m of cable for flexible positioning.
- RJ12 T-Splitter included - allows easy integration into a daisy-chained TrolMaster sensor network.
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.

TrolMaster MBS-SD Smoke Detector FAQs
Can the MBS-SD send an alert to my phone?
Yes. When used with a compatible internet-connected TrolMaster controller, smoke detection can generate an alert through the TrolMaster smartphone app.
How many MBS-SD smoke detectors can I connect to a Hydro-X HCS-1?
The Hydro-X HCS-1 supports up to five MBS-SD smoke detectors.
What happens if one of several detectors senses smoke?
If any connected MBS-SD detects smoke, the Hydro-X can generate an alarm and, when remote connectivity is configured, alert the user through the TrolMaster app.
How does the MBS-SD connect to Hydro-X?
It connects to the controller's sensor network using an RJ12 cable and T-Splitter.
Does the MBS-SD come with a cable?
Yes. TrolMaster supplies the MBS-SD with a 16ft RJ12 cable and RJ12 T-Splitter.
How is each smoke detector identified by the controller?
The MBS-SD has a small built-in address-assignment button. Once connected, this is used to allow the compatible TrolMaster controller to assign the detector an address.
Can the MBS-SD be daisy-chained with other TrolMaster sensors?
Yes. On compatible systems the MBS-SD can form part of the RJ12 sensor network alongside other supported sensors using T-Splitters and RJ12 cabling.
Does the smoke detector need a separate power supply?
No separate mains power supply is included or required for the MBS-SD. It connects to the compatible TrolMaster sensor network through its RJ12 connection.
Can the MBS-SD get wet?
No. TrolMaster states that its sensors should remain dry and clean and should not be exposed to sprayed substances, water or condensation.
Is the MBS-SD only compatible with the original Hydro-X?
No. TrolMaster also lists the MBS-SD within several of its newer control-system ranges. Always check the sensor capacity and connection requirements of the specific TrolMaster controller being used.
Is the MBS-SD a replacement for a building fire alarm?
No. The MBS-SD is an additional smoke-monitoring sensor for compatible TrolMaster control systems. It should not replace any certified fire detection, smoke alarm or life-safety equipment required for the premises.
Why add smoke detection to an environmental controller?
It allows smoke detection to become part of the same remotely monitored system used for environmental control, providing an additional warning of a potential problem when the facility is unattended.
