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.
